You don’t care a trade isn’t imminent on the rasmus front and we’re putting a value asset at injury risk?

Yeah, I mean when even Steinberg and Mikklesonn (sp?) are voicing their concern with the 20+ min last game and playing him tonight, you know you're not being crazy to be worried. The coaches are drawing their lineup to win games, so I get that. Maybe on the bright side of this is that even though he could do it, as the GM, Conroy is holding firm that he won't overrule his coaches with lineup decisions and will stick to letting the coaches coach, so as to not undermine them. That's respectable if that's the case.

I think engaging at all qualifies as feeding the troll. Take a different bridge into town, that one needs rehabilitating anyway, it groans loudly when you cross it

Damn you've really lost touch lately.

The pushback, and disdain for that poster has NOTHING to do with their hockey opinions, and EVERYTHING to do with posting style, which is confrontational, includes attacking other posters (not their posts), and is often is pure trolling.

This shouldn't be difficult to see.

It doesn't sound like they're dressing 7 D. They just had 7 in warm-up, which could be done for any number of reasons (pending trade, another d-man nursing an injury and unsure if he can play, coach's game time decision as to who the 6th D will be, etc.).

Yeah, a deal is either done or it’s not, and until it is he’s a Flame and will play. That’s the principle.

Is there a risk? Yeah, but it’s pretty small.

It’s an echo chamber in here and I’m trying to open the cap. Use your brains, guys/gals.

Gosh, we shouldn’t play anyone at all and just forfeit games instead.

You know, in case players get hurt?

Makes the game more exciting, added element of danger!

Danger, plus Schaefer!

Are we trading for danger or trading it away?

Nope, I don’t care about you constantly lamenting about that viewpoint. Every, single, post. Give it a rest.

Yikes, the irony is something else.

Funny thing is though, if you picked up on it already, and simply baited someone to point it out, I applaud the troll effort but makes your statement even more ironic.

The other potential, which is you don't recognize the irony, makes it much less "impressive" and just a bit more sad.

Anyways, I agree the best way to have trolls fade away is to never cross their bridge so back to rumors we go.

Put dre on ignore or the rest of us will put you on ignore too!

[traptor]

Strange that the offers aren't up to snuff yet after all the smoke...


Seems weird to play him if youre just trying to squeeze out an extra 3rd.


Must be decently far apart.

Because 99% of them are just Larp'ing and piggybacking on a rumour once they here it. The detail some of these "insiders" have is insane. One guy will say he here's it's a four team race, next guy says it's two in the east two in the west, next guy names all four team specifically.

The network of information some of these guys are running must be insane.

Finally added Dre to blocked. If no one quotes my forum experience will be much improved.
