I sure hope I make the verbal diarrhea list.

I always have to get away for a bit in the summer because the "fluffers" are out in full force. Ironically, sometime between the end of December and early March they often become the biggest critics.

No kidding, guess it's best to stick with approved subjects, so;
Eriksson (AHL, terminate, Dallas, trade, bus ride to airport)
Benning (Dumb, not qualified, needs assistant, lousy at trades or contracts)
Brackett (Real darfting guru, should be GM, excellent speaker)
Beagle (overrated, too much money/term, mentor master, expendable)
Playoffs (dumb idea, not possible with bottom 6, I'll have what you are smoking)

Some minor other topics that get laughed at, shot down.

Please just rinse and recycle the above in no specific order.

true enough (on pretty much everything).

i'm sure our lists would be similar.

hell, half the time, people move on and off the verbal diarrhea list.

...however, there are some that need some verbal imodium on a daily basis.

setting up a thread to deal with that type of stuff/posters... what could go wrong?

When Serenity was in full force it was awesome, only a few posters knew about the forum, then someone got their knickers in a knot and a mild fart breeze turned into a sh!t tsunami.

Sadly no, I tried to change the topic on the main thread a few times, but Green seems to be worshiped, all the topics need to be Eriksson and Benning 99% of the time.

People can piss and moan about LE all they want. I think he's right about Green.

it's awesome how the offseason is full of sunshine, rainbows.... and gatekeeping. every summer!

if i've learned anything from this site over the years, it's that summertime is not for criticizing the team's moves unless you're talking about previous management, previous players or the owner

wait until the season starts and then blame... injuries, bad bounces, bad reffing and bettman.

I've really been enjoying the hate. It makes me feel alive!!

It's been pretty tame this summer which is why I come looking for fights all the time.


Should we pick our top 5 members of the tears are not enough victim club tonight?

Vantel keeps bringing it up mockingly.

Then again, he's also the one that has convinced everyone that LE is going to magically disappear.

And every time he does I will counter until he is tired of saying the cap problem is fabricated by haters.

Exactly.

I do think injuries have a huge effect on our chances of winning a cup. There's no way of beating it other than good luck.

goaltending, proper injection of quality rookies on ELC's, proper coaching, a GM that can commit to a single direction instead of flip flopping depending on how much cap space he has in one summer, no loyalty minutes to veterans but to kids/players who deserve it, proper defense, not being beta's, bottom 6 forwards and bottom 4 defenseman not having inflated cap hits, a power play that continues to fail but continues to use a drop pass, not dealing picks in future drafts when you aren't and havent made the playoffs in years, not EVER dealing 1st round picks.

just to name a few things though.

It's easier to be complacent and just let things happen. It's always been out of our control anyway. Just sit back, kick your feet up, and enjoy an orange julius my friend
