I remember seeing Bouma and Monahan 2 seasons ago at Charcut (not Charbar lol). Bouma had a massive cast on his hand, and I posted saying that Bouma isn't coming back soon. I got lambasted for not providing "evidence", but the Flames hadn't released any information on him, so I didn't want to get super specific on the forum. I have much better things to do than troll an internet forum. As a fan of the team, I know others would appreciate hearing about what I saw.

Scorpion posts a lot, but he doesn't make things up. He's earned the right to post speculation or hearsay.

I have heard lots about Gaudreau's off-ice antics from what I consider reliable sources. However, I'm not sharing them here because people will go insane, just like they have in the "miss the bus in NYC" thread.

What I am talking about is the essential taking apart of some one's reputation when a rumor is posted. Huge number of PMs, questioning, and constant harassment if things don't turn out the way their source heard.

To be honest with all the scrutiny it really isn't worth sharing anything that doesn't come from a published source.
I sure have learned a lesson, I'm sorry guys it wasn't my intent to whip up a frenzy

It's just what I heard, I wasn't being deceptive in the description of what I heard but after the trade yesterday

I'll be more wary of my "sources" from now on

Since, according to most in this thread, this isn't a good source, can we move on now? Lesson learned

Same here from a sharing information from a reliable sources perspective.

Have shared information I have received with friends, or posters that I feel are reliable via DM, but I don't post anything that is somewhat "controversial" on the actual message board because it generates a bigger headache then its worth.

I'm far more disappointed in your actually apologizing for you posts than I am the quality of your source in the original post.

Don't let these faceless Internets piss in your cereal Scorpion!

What harm was done? Regardless of the source, the rumour was moving one of Jokipakka or Wideman. Did you really need to know if an Orange Julius guy or Bob McKenzie said "it could happen" for you to believe it could happen? Of course it could happen. They're bottom pairing defenseman. That's like saying a 4th liner could get sent down this week.

Lighten up man.

Seems like we're missing out on some good info because of the few posters who take themselves a little too serious. Shame.

I really don't want this to go on much longer, but when Flash Walken said that I pulled the same #### in the link he posted, I actually didn't... that was me asking someone about their source by PM (something I shouldn't have done), nothing like this. That was a completely different mistake.

Again, I'm sorry for posting a poor rumor, but I object to being called a ####ing troll

With that in mind, could you please elaborate on the "man eating lunch" rumors? I survived today, but who knows what lays in wait for tomorrow?!?

Women sitting beside me during lunch had a Cobb Salad. She went on and on about taking her kids to see Lego Batman over the long weekend. Minutes later she mused "I hope they make another Lego movie!".

Lego Batman 2 confirmed; she's a Hollywood producer!

Can we all move on now?

Trade deadline is coming up and there's likely to be actual stuff to talk about. I don't want to sift through this endless back and forth anymore.
