GreekHockeyCoach Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It is always sad when we lose a member of the moderating/admin team. In this case, we are losing our longest serving moderator and administrator WinnipegJet. Unfortunately, due to his work and time restraints he had to step down. He will still be posting and giving us his insight on the Habs as he has done in the past. I am personally sad that he won't won't be part of our group anymore. WinnipegJet is the only person from this forum that I've met in person. We played golf, drank scotch and smoked cigars together. He is an outstanding person and I wish him nothing but the very best in life as he pursues his goals. We proudly retire his jersey in honour of his many years of service and countless hours he spent in making this forum what it is today. Please join me in thanking him for his commitment, dedication and hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-1 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Best of luck to you WinnipeJjet, and thank you for doing what sometimes is a thankless job here on the forums. Please keep in touch. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manatee-X Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry to see you go, Jet, but don't be a stranger . I've enjoyed reading your posts since a few years before I first signed up for the forum. It's a combination of insightful posts like yours and the general forum decorum (which I'm sure you've contributed to over your years as a moderator) that led me to sign on in the first place.

Guest habs1952 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 We played golf, drank scotch and smoked cigars together. Sounds like a couple of Grumpy old men. :lol: Anyway, thanks for all your hard work Jet. It's been very much appreciated by us lackies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'll echo Coach's sentiment and say I'm sad to see Jet step down, but I'm sure he'll continue to be an important member here. Given how long you've been here, it's a well-deserved jersey retirement, Jet! All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatethosebruins Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks alot Jet, sad to see you go. Always enjoyed your posts and hope you stick around. Speaking of sticking around, is AK-1 still around? Lastly, does this mean I can move on from my position of Bank of GHC teller to Bank of GHC personal banker? I still assume choosing a mod is like choosing a pope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Speaking of sticking around, is AK-1 still around? I still assume choosing a mod is like choosing a pope! AK-1 is still a member/retired jersey here, although I haven't seen much of him lately. I'm sure he'll be back around at some point. Choosing a mod is excactly like choosing a Pope, except that we use blue smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Best Wishes to you WinnipegJet. Hope to see you posting here. I've been quite busy or else I would post more often, and with the playoffs just about here, I probably will post to see what is happening.

CANADIENS27 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Since GHC and Winnipeg Jet play golf together, it's a little surprising they haven't posted anything on the "Golf" thread. Maybe it's just that the PGA isn't among their interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just that the PGA isn't among their interests. I used to watch golf religiously but lately I've lost interest in watching. I prefer playing.

roy_133 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow, end of an era for sure. Pretty much set the bar for moderating and high level posting when I signed up in 2005 and managed to maintain that level for all this time. It was fun moderating with him, it was fun talking to him on MSN messenger way back in the day lol and I've flat out learned a lot from him over the years.Much respect. Hopefully you keeps on posting when you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnipegJet Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, everyone - they're awesome to hear. But honestly, the reason why I stayed on so long was because this was such an enjoyable and insightful place to talk hockey - a testament to the great membership base here. My career and personal commitments have ramped up, but I'll still be around to post and chat when I can. So, you certainly haven't see the last of me. Also - GHC is a big-time ringer on the golf course. Pretty sure he blew me out that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
