Personally, I think there should be a new one for the start of each season, but at this point, I say ride this one out as long as the good vibes keep going.

The 10,000-post "rule" was implemented after v.3, since the software starts to lag after threads get too big. Pho recommended starting a new one after 10,000 posts, which usually coincided with a new season.

I get the interest in keeping this chapter going, but it is very quickly going to become unwieldy, and a change is inevitable and likely imminent. Just for some perspective: The season is 31-days-old, and there have been 2,084 posts in this thread since opening day.

I propose that we unveil a new instalment after the weekend—perhaps to commemorate a coach-firing.

I have curated the last month of posts, and have selected five potential thread titles from the suggestions offered since 10 October. As a reminder: for several years now all E=NG thread titles have been drawn from statements made by members within the organization or media. I will open a poll today and everyone can vote for their favourite:

"Not f###ing good enough”

Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers (based on Woodcroft's statement from 19 October: “We’re in a mud puddle right now.”)

“Cup or Bust!” —Turns out, it’s “Bust.”

“The All-Consuming Pursuit of the Next Solution”

“Stanley Cup Contenders in 32nd Place”

"Great Observation, Thanks"

I'd also add Pissy's quote from Thursday:

Edmonton is No Good XI: "Great Observation. Thanks."

The crazy thing is that all of those quotes were uttered in the space of about three weeks.

Edmonton is no good.

##1, 2 and 4 were all from Woodcroft.
#3 was from McDavid, and repeated by Draisaitl.
#5 was either Reid Wilkins or Rob Brown from the post-game show (I might be mis-remembering this one.)
#6 was from Draisaitl.

What about Woodpeckers comment to the effect of "not winning as a team"? I can't remember the exact quote.

Michaels kept saying that a comeback in SJ was “Seismic”


That’s all I’ve got.

That was from last year. There is already so much more current material.

Special exceptions can be made.

*EDIT* But, the important point here is that the E=NG titles are organic. We don't make any of this #### up.
