[News] Hurricanes officially match Aho offer sheet (5 years x $8.454 million)

[TheScorpion]

I think we should inject some more fireworks into the forum! Bring back Gaudreauvertime! Polak! MrMastodonFarm! Puckluck! Make it one big shebang!

..


Actually the more I think of that I think we're pretty well-off as it stands. (Bring back MrMastodonFarm though.)

At this point with all the other posters back, the only reasonable explanation is that MMF literally murdered one of the mods. Or it's the biggest vendetta in the history of moderating

Wtf is going on in this thread?

Sebastian Aho signed a 5 year $8.454 million per year offer sheet from the Montreal Canadiens. The Hurricanes matched the offer.

People want MMF re-instated
Dissentowner comes in to say he was a dick

The usual.



He should be back. Was he a dick sometimes? Sure. But also funny and insightful. This is a message board comprised of adults FFS. An intelligent poster who contributed far more than he took shots should not have a lifetime ban.

I didn't say anything of the sort in this thread , wtf is your malfunction? The thread had gone way off topic is all. I had nothing to do with mmf being banned, I don't know why he was banned, nor do I care. He was a dick though so you got that part right at least.

[Hugh Jahrmes]

I rarely post, but I'll chime in to say MMF was hilarious.

[Samonadreau]

MMF, funniest poster on the forum. I still dont know what happened there.

We’re discussing Montreal’s offer sheet on Aho that the Hurricanes are matching.

It's really not that hard to figure out as the mods simply received far too many complaints about the poster. I feel some of you seem to only remember when he was funny and forget how he would mercilessly bully new posters making this place unfriendly at times. The irony in Scorpion wanting him back is that he's the type of poster MMF would harass.

Please get this thread back on track and leave the discussion of previous posters out. Thanks.

Did Carolina officially match the offer sheet?

Capfriendly has Aho pencilled in.

They have until Monday (7 days) to make it official. I think they’re keeping Montreal tied up on purpose, but perhaps it has been made official with the league and nobody has posted it because somebody derailed the thread.

I actually quite disagree here, and let me tell you why.


When I first started to post on this site, there were a few dicks that made me feel unwelcome here. MMF was the ONLY poster to actually stick up for me and make me feel welcome. The only one. Now, I have no idea what got him banned, nor am I blind to some of his 'back and forths' with some posters here. I can't comment on his being banned as justified or not as I do not know the incident that got him banned, but I trust the mods here that they got it right.


I just feel that there are about 10 posters on this site that run around belittling others, responding over-the-top rudely/aggressive to dissenting opinion, and seemingly relish making others feel bad/stupid. That's why I don't read every thread any longer, or participate as much. It always roughly the same 10 posters or so who just seem to enjoy being dicks for the sake of being dicks. I would have punted them a long time ago myself, so thankfully I am not a mod. Tough line to figure out who needs to go. I just don't enjoy reading this forum nearly as much any longer because of some constantly unruly posters. And no, I don't report them, and I guess that it is also partly my fault that they are still around. (Oh, and it isn't you EE - though we have had some arguments in the past, I always read your posts and appreciate them, even when I don't agree with them).

[fastpuck]

Totally agree. interesting threads keep getting derailed by the constant bickering of a few. It detracts a lot from the forum. This is a great forum, I wish we could reduce those few posters that hijack threads.
