Caps turn off official message board

As if the traffic on the 'Rink wasn't berzerker already. Prepare for the influx.

and….THIS scenario is why we have a 24-hour comment rule!

So long as CI comments don’t get shut down, the iron curtain (sponge, maybe?) is still more or less intact.

The comments on there are pretty funny. I never knew the whole drama behind the original breakdown of the boards. What happened to just talking about hockey?

Egos, bandwagon fans, cliques, and assholishness.

Haha yea, the old boards got axed around the time of last playoffs.
A bunch of people scattered to blogs, and hfboards, The new boards suck, IMO.
Reading the comments over there does not really give me much faith for the “average caps fan”

HFBoards isn’t too bad. I like the flow of this board better. I don’t have to keep hitting “refresh” all the time.

Yep, HFBoards has some quality posters, and they are well moderated.
But this style is far more appealing to me.

I love message boards.

I hate Capitals message boards. I guess you could consider this one, in a way, but it’s still a blog and it’s maintained as such.

I quit bothering with Caps boards a while back – it’s just not worth the time. Everyone has an ego to stroke, is incredibly pessimistic, etc.

My girlfriend calls Japers’ my “group therapy session” when games are on. She really owes some of you folks big time. I would be a quivering mess if not for the occasional doses of “reality” and “big picture.”
