I don’t know why some people get so upset over hockey. Does nobody remember what it was like when they were kids? I do (mostly because it wasn’t that long ago). It’s fun talking stats and lineups, but I feel like too often we get buried in the minutiae of the game and some people forget to have fun.

Completely agreed, and I think that same overly critical mentality has made it's way into everyone's online persona. I would be willing to bet it's also changed people's actual lives too.
I don't want to sound like an old man yelling at clouds (I'm not old at all) but it really seems most topics are taken way out of context and then hyperbolized to the point a reasonable discussion can't be had. It feels like that change has only happened recently.
I won't derail this thread anymore but I hope the flames find a way to keep Janko up and actually utilize him.
