I wanted to let everyone know that I'm taking a break from moderating the forums here at HockeyBuzz for a while. (No no... please.... hold your applause until the end. Really.... be seated....) Having a wife, three kids, a house, and an ever-busier job leaves less and less time to do the things I love with the people I love. So... time to start scaling things back a bit.
I wanted to thank
Eklund,
CaptEO and
Degroat for the opportunity to be the Director of Officiating and for their support and advice to make the forums a better place to talk hockey with great people, as well as those of you who expressed your thanks in the chat room and via PM.
I especially want to thank the other Moderators --
Banger, THF, TKC, Flufflet, Jimmer, B Bruins, Goalie220 and jprobber -- who are among the funniest, wittiest and all-around best people I've ever had a chance to work with.
Super-Special thanks go to
"iScoop" Cooper for his generosity with his time, wisdom, insight, guidance and friendship. I'm quite honored to be able to call Scoop a pal of mine.
HockeyBuzz is a great place visited by great people, and I look forward to seeing you all in the Chat room from time to time.

You'll be missed in your absense, BF. Hope you enjoy the time with your family, but don't forget your second family now ;). Your return will be noticed, bro.

You'll still be on HB in some form right? As a fan?
BF...I want to Thank You for your support and leadership since I became a MOD. I made a great friend and look forward to talking Hockey with you in the future...Thanks again!!
Best of luck in all your ventures. The Hockeybuzz world is a sadder place today.
Just to clarify, I'll still be in the chat room like always.... just not spending as much time playing virtual "whack-a-mole" on the forums....
BLUUUUESSSIIIIE!!! NOOOOOOO!!! Who will ban me and silence me from the chat now!?!?!
Blusie!! Sorry to hear you won't be moderatin' cause your moderatin'. Great job at a time when a good whack-a-moler was critical to this site's success! Don't ever underestimate how important your efforts were in making this site a place about hockey, and not an angry fan yelling contest. See ya in the Chat Room!
