Will you please start another thread or let the W of S discussions die. Looking to creep on discussions about the game, not filter 70 posts about hurting peoples feelings with a Wall of Shame.
This whining about the whining about the whining is EPIC!
Oh to those who were at the game, did you guys see the RNH jersey and the 97 jersey? I won't ever understand why you would wear that to a Flames playoff game in which the Oilers are not involved.
You want WoS material? During the off season, I was hoping the Flames would sign Suter to add defensive depth. He was culpable on 2 goals last night. So glad we traded for Zadorov and signed Gudbranson instead.

They were told they were being given free tickets to see the best player in the league. Assumed wrong that the Oil were playing.
I don’t know how you guys post and keep up with the conversation in the GT during the games? Not sure how you watch the game when you are writing and reading all the time.
I rarely post in those threads as I am usually watching the game delayed and when I have posted I can’t keep up with the game and the conversation. I also think many people cannot control their emotions and write some pretty ridiculous things down.
There are a handful of posters who have scaled back their posts or stopped posting altogether. Lanny MacDonald went from posting 10-15 walls of text a day ripping on the team and players and now posts far less. I don’t miss those one bit. Bo Levi goes to town when this team is losing 2-1 but goes away when they are winning. Haven’t seen Ricardo in a while.
This place was near unbearable last season and we finally get a good thing going I support keeping the negativity at bay as you could see it returning after game 3.
Should we report RicardoDW to police as a missing person? He has been absent for months!
Here’s my thoughts as someone who made the Wall of Shame three times:
It’s a hilarious idea, it has potential, but it needs to be tweaked. I’m not sure how my comment about Mangiapane needing to show up made in the 2nd period of the 5th game of a playoff series in which he had 0 points at the time I posted the comment made the list. I don’t think there was anything shameful about that. It was a fair criticism of his play to date. Same with my comment about Tkachuk playing like garbage. He had a bad game and in the end contributed nothing offensively so I’m not sure that comment aged poorly.
My comment along the lines of “1 goal in 8 periods, disappointment again”? Sure. Throw that on there. That’s funny. And I don’t mind others having a laugh at the expense of my dramatic comments. I even laughed when I saw the post knowing there was a good chance that would make it in.
Lighten up. Take a joke. It’s not personal and it’s all in good fun. Just make sure the posts you put in there are actually worthy of “shame” and I see no issue with it. I don’t feel bullied because I had some posts go in there. The GT has always been emotional and reactionary. If you can’t laugh at yourself after a win then don’t post in the GT with your emotions running high.

Man, don't even joke about scoring an playoff OT goal at home -- I don't think my heart could take it.
The Backlund goal was a lot of pent up energy and frustration. The Mangiapane goal was pure jolt of adrenaline. Reminded me of Stajan's series winning goal against Vancouver in 2015.

Yup I was at that game as well. And felt the same way afterwards. I couldn't go home, dragged my pal for a beer after in Mission to wind down n/w/s he had to be up early.
