If he's not injured, I don't see why considering trading him for an equivalent centre who can drive his own line and contribute in other ways when the offense is going cold is so blasphemous. I still think ideally we keep him and he gets through this and back to his earlier level of play.


So due to a cold 1/4 of the season where he is still ppg when it is all said and done means we should/could consider trading him?

Who is this line driving cente we are swapping him for? If we are swapping him for a better player than that player is likely 30+ or the trade doesn’t exist. Less than 6.5M for 30 goals and 75 points is hard to come by

When you’re constantly proven wrong but continue to act like the smarter person in the room people are going to run out of patience. He’s bringing this on himself if you ask me.

Did you miss the moderator who simply posted ‘word salad’ as a response in totality...or was that also a stat and I’m somehow confused what ‘stats’ are?

Or did you miss when another poster said that Loves opinion was a joke which made ‘him’ a joke.

Perhaps you missed the post on page 2, where he was called a troll ...or even the post on this page where he was referred to as a troll....this was ‘respectful’ was it?

I could go on, but if you re-read the thread from ‘The other point of view’ without assuming your opinion is right, then I think you’ll see things differently.
Did you miss the part where he said "most"?

I could go on, but if you re-read the post that you are quoting without assuming that you can omit select words to fit your narrative you probably wouldn't have much to say.

Also: "word salad" as a response is hilarious, especially from a moderator - if you consider that to be bullying or offensive then I don't know what to say.

No I didn’t miss the word ‘most’ but that’s not accurate, as I believe even a cursory glance of this thread will attest

The reference to the ‘word salad’ was in response to the claim that the responses to Love were respectful...they weren’t!

And if you think I’m on an island, check out this thread for people who no longer post here because of the ‘mob lynching’ (quoted phrase, not my words), which I’m assuming this thread is a prime example of.

Just a whole bunch of: “I can’t post anymore because my opinions are challenged”.

Grow up.

I feel as if this "playoff" mentality is self-fulfilling. Everyone talks about how tough it'll be to score, how the games are closer down the stretch, how you've got to go to the dirty areas, blah, blah, blah: and then lo and behold, team can't score.

We didn't play a grinding game when we were winning. Wish we'd get out of that mindset.

Ouch.

Honestly it was 1 poster who managed to change the narrative of hockey talk and make it about himself. He goes by TheScorpion and he's a teenage tryhard who is so ####ing annoying it drove me off the site. I know for a fact that several longtime posters stopped posting because of the kid and moderators felt the need to babysit.
Quote:
Yeah this nerd is like 16 and talks about former flames before he was even born like he knows what he's talking about. He is the biggest try hard on the site.

If you're 16 you know absolutely nothing. You barely have pubes, stop pretending you know former flames. Dudes favorite player was Blair Jones. He has a Versteeg jersey. Kid is clueless and should stick to watching cartoons in his mom's basement.
Yeah I'm just gonna go ahead and not read the rest of that thread.

I've posted unpopular opinions here many times, and I can't recall being 'bullied' once.

Some posters hammer the same point over and over without considering the other side of the conversation. They also do this every time a name is written, anywhere on the forum... for years.

Before anyone wastes a click...

In this complaint about CP, the user writes "[...]but they banned a lot of the good ones like MMF because he was better at moderating the site than the actual mods"

...if you want to get a pulse for who's writing...

It is accurate, most people have been respectful. Some have shown their frustration with Love's ongoing axe to grind and troll-ish history - no one is bullying or "mob-lynching" him though.

How is "word salad" disrespectful?? the post that he quoted when writing that was oddly written, unintelligible and not factual (shocking)

I'm always amazed when people get in such a snit over a forum that they can choose to read and post on or not. Completely within their control.
Discussions on here can get heated, and sometimes in the course of that people cross a line. But for the most part people get the amount of respect that they offer.
Meaning if you are a dick, people are probably going to be a dick back to you.
So when a poster basically takes a shot at the entire fan base, are we surprised at the reaction?

This is not an isolated event, it’s a pattern of behaviour. Heck, I’ve got my very own groupie that is so upset by my take on a certain player, that he/she follows me around the board responding to posts with that players name in completely unrelated threads (see my sig). It’s always the same people, the “annointed ones”, and it needs to stop. I’m calling for Bingo to intervene.

Meh, Internet message boards are gonna internet message board. I dont mind that the mods kind of let the community self regulate for the most part. But if you;re having a big enough issue file an official complaint.

Dude, you're a solid member here. Seems to me those people pissing and moaning in that thread are all permabans here, who now whine at each other about how hard done by they are. Farts in the wind is what they amount to.
