This, however, which you sent me as a PM, is not a matter of public record:



Still sure you want to go there?

Or accuse me of ‘cowering nervously’? (Another personal insult, by the way. Clearly that is all you have to offer.)

Oh he’s breakin out tha PMs! Classy. Should I post yours? How did I accuse you of cowering nervously? Haha. I was sarcasticly cowering nervously to your threat.

You’re a little code red mate. Cool off.

Hey I just noticed I'm a franchise player now! Can I turn that into some weird moniker or something?

Giving HFOil a skim for the chiadenfreude and found this gem in their injury whining.

“Pietro tried to break Draisaitl wrist last year and only got a game.” So deaf.

You mean when I replied to you saying, ‘Leave me alone,’ and you kept PMing me? Yeah, that would really make me look bad.

Once again, what you actually wrote was not what you thought you meant to say.

You are, by your own admission, a person who enjoys other people's misery, and by your actions, a person who will go out of his way to make others miserable so you can enjoy it. Anybody would be ‘a little code red’ around a piece of work like you.

Man you sure have a lot of friends Jay, Mr Popular over here.

[topfiverecords]

This is absurd man.

You pm me ‘leave me alone’ yet at the same time you’re repeatedly unnecessarily responding to my posts on the board. That’s all it was and then I did.

Just own up to the fact that you’re being poor at comprehension recently.

Again with the poor comprehension. I didn’t say I enjoyed making you miserable. I said I enjoy(ed) reading your discourse with other users when you’re already in that (very obvious) state prior to any discussion. What can I say, I like reading posts that aren’t dry.

Like if I made you miserable by saying 69 is closer to 72 than 48, well I don’t know where to go from here.

No, you have PM'd me twice since I told you to leave you alone. So I gave up trying that. You want to bother me? Prepare to be bothered back.

Or you could own up to the fact that you're a crap writer and don't put your points across the way you intend.

No, you said you loved it when I was miserable. The fact that you have been insulting me repeatedly shows that you are willing to contribute to that misery. Apparently this is how you get your jollies in life. I find that pitiful, but also tremendously annoying.

[Zary's-Mustache]

Man Jay you've really made this board hard to read lately. You're in every thread arguing with everyone and being argumentative for no reason.

Oilers just lost..cheer up.

Give me a break. The one where I asked if you were ok?

Enough grace.

Get lost.

After everything else you've said, you expected me to take that as anything but sarcasm?

Of course I'm not OK. My life is going to hell in ways that I won't discuss here, because I don't want jackasses like you jeering at me for having troubles. I come here to get away from my troubles, and I get jackasses like you jeering at me just the same. I'm thoroughly tired of you.

Enough grace.

Get lost.

I don't recall seeing you exhibit an ounce of grace to anyone.

It’s definitely difficult to take the quarter second to to scroll past a post you don’t like.

Glad I could give you an outlet to take out your frustrations. First two are free. Next time I’m going to invoice.

Great article.

It's the sixth time the Dynamic Duo has fallen short of a parade limo's jump seat, following first-round losses to Chicago and Winnipeg, previous second-rounders against Anaheim and Vegas, and a blissful albeit fruitless trip to the third round against Colorado that ended in a sweep two springs ago.

We can definitively say here, though, that there won't be a seventh.

There's no chance.

But probably not for a reason that'll make the "City of (Long-Ago) Champions" smile.

But let's face it, there's a great chance Draisaitl won't want to stay anyway.

That's why it'll feel more like rebranding than retooling for the Oilers next winter (or sooner) when they come to grips with his imminent exit and try to recoup pennies on the dollar in return, effectively ending the most maddening era in franchise history

Meanwhile, the best one-two punch in hockey—certainly lately and maybe ever—shakes hands, offers cliches and makes plans for a midweek locker-cleaning.

No Cup.

Just busted.

I like how the play in loss to 12th place Chicago is referred to as a "first round exit".

[trackercowe]

Oilers will likely deal Kane? I would think another team would take him on his current deal. He's a cancer in the room, but on a relatively team friendly contract. I think his time in Edmonton has come to an end.

When you see it like this seems like it's not that big of a disaster for how that team is built.

They can cut out one depth forward and run with 13F and 7D. We saw the Flames do that.

Spend $8 million on the third line, $3 million on 3 depth forwards and $2 million on 2 depth defensemen.

They’re going to have to hope that Broberg and Holloway are good little soldiers for McDavid and take their puny qualifying offers. I’m guessing neither are at arb. rights yet and neither have really done enough to push back against the cheap deals anyways but occasionally there’s some good will shown on second contracts that the Oilers are in no position to hand out here. Just gonna piss off guys they need down the road.

Just for the moment, because of what you have said just lately, I'm going to take your ‘Are you OK?’ at face value. I honestly thought it was sarcasm, and I don't think I can be much blamed for that.

I do not talk about my personal life here, because I want to keep it entirely separate from CP. But I will share just one of several major issues:

I am slowly going blind. Two of the best specialists in the city are mystified by it, and they can't think of anything to stop it – though they are trying to slow it down. (One of them said he could count on his fingers the number of similar cases he has seen in his career.) I've already had to give up driving, and I dread what may come next.

This is the kind of stuff I am trying to escape from by enjoying hockey and discussions about hockey. When posters get nasty and spoil the escape, I let my accumulated frustration get the better of me. To all of you bystanders who have had to scroll through this stuff, I apologize for my bad temper.

Sorry for going off topic. We now return you to your regularly scheduled no-goodness.
