I dislike the wall of shame idea, don't really find it amusing, I don't care if people overreact during the game. Playoff hockey is emotional and if the Flames have a bad period I can understand the mood swings. Doesn't bother me at all.
I also think that some people are getting too caught up in I told you so mentality or playing gotcha in the threads, and that's actually been a problem around here for a long time, so I just see this as furthering that problem.
And then when I come back to the board the day after a big win and want to see some good analysis and opinions of the game, instead I'm reading about who said what, etc. I'm here for the hockey talk.
