OK, yeah...it's April 1. That post was meant for all of the people that helped make Hockey-L a great place for quality hockey discussion over the years. (I believe those years were 1989-1994. :-) Yes, it was a joke. Berenzweig, Muckalt and Turco have NOT left the Univ of Michigan...although I'm kinda worried about Muckalt. Billy...if you're reading this, we love you and want you back for your senior season. Don't be a Robb Gordon! Ah...a joke. Something we see very little of on Hockey-L these days. I often make jokes about Michigan's opposition. Most are (a) in response to a previous posting or (b) in jest. Not all, but most fall into the categories above. I've gotten some of my biggest laughs from people making fun of the Wolverines. I can enjoy humor at UM's expense just as much as the next guy/Spartan/Laker/etc...as long as it's humorous. These days, it's no longer humorous. I guess there's less and less room in the world for a college hockey humorist/satirist. Where's John Patterson when you need him?! (Bring back GM Finniss, too, while you're at it.) My apologies to anyone who I inconvenienced (I guess your heart stopping would be an inconvenience :-) with my April 1 joke. GO BLUE!
