Kinda like our leaves thread.
Exactly. You'll get exactly where I am coming from, as you're a mod. It may leak out to other threads but having a singular dedicated thread keeps a lot of the BS together. We were really left with no other option.
It makes total sense for that forum.

What doesn't make sense is that so many fans of a playoff-trending team with a great young core want/need a Pro-tank thread.

But anyway... you are most welcome here, enjoy! :drink:
Most of them have basically said it's more about Benning being fired, rather than tanking for good picks. I think that may get confused now, as the Canucks have tanked enough to get their core. I also think wanting Benning fired if a perfectly fine stance, as well as maybe keeping him. I can see both sides right now.

And thank you - you guys have been more civil than I first anticipated.
You don’t fire employees who are continually getting better at their job, its usually the other way around. I’d be on their side too if that were the case but it isn’t. “Hey Jim, you’ve gotten really good at your job, we are firing you”. Ain’t happening

That explains why I feel so disappointed then.

His trades have been better but FA signings leave the same bad taste in my mouth.

But why do they want Benning fired if he's built a great young core and the team is playoff-trending?

(rhetorical, please don't answer)

Also, isn't it fruitless to hope Benning gets fired if he's built a great young core and the team is playoff-trending?

(also rhetorical)

I'd say they feel locked in (due to pride issues) to a previously held position that is proving to be wrong.

If so, it's tank or bust for them, so what happens when they bust, are they doomed to become Seattle Seagulls fans

... or will they finally repent?

(you can answer that one) :wink:

We fuck around a lot here, but bottom line, we know a good poster when we see one.

HF is like a coffee cafe, while we're more like a pub. :drink:

Welcome PG Canuck. This board needs new blood. We take some glee out of the constant negativity of your home board but in truth there’s some decent posters there. For some reason I may have you confused with another poster/mod/former mod there who has gassed a few of my accounts, some of which may have been borderline trolling, definitely witty... but I digress. I know you and MS like baseball and I’ve been into it with him a few times... who hasnt? He’s a seething ball of rage. Pauser as well. But there was another guy that was cut from their cloth who I was told had a hand in banning a couple of my more colourful socks. If it was not you I apologize in advance.

BTW tell our old buddy tant that it’s no so bad. I was taking a bat to Ignitowski from April 2015 until Feb 2017 and rightfully so. He made a lot of dumb moves during that time. Since the management group pulled their heads out and has pulled off a series of good moves, I have done a 120. Thr team is fun, it’s exciting. These current kids on the team need a reward and playoffs would be exactly that

Pasty of the reason I pop off and beak at your community is they I’m hoping to draw new folks here. It’s my welcoming call. :lol:

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Obviously Eriksson and maybe Sutter but strangely both are playing excellent hockey when we need them the most. Beagle is earning evey penny.
Myers gas been found gold, Fatburger has been surprisingly good. Benn a disappointment.

Ferkland...not enough data yet but if hes healthy hes exactly whats needed.

Who has been so glaringly disappointing that makes you think the gm sucks and could get gunned over it?

Funnily enough, I've had no hand in having any of your 50 accounts or whoever else has made an account on HF - again, which is why I laugh when I get blamed for it. I'll take the blame if you want to keep believing it, I truly don't care. I don't remember the last time I've even had a hand in an account getting banned.

Apparently one individual mod was gunning for me, doesn’t like what I say at the CC. PG should at least have the common courtesy to reveal this Grim reaper.

Yeah I've had no hand in banning anyone and I've been a mod since like 2014ish - I don't like dealing with the aftermath of the user usually being pissed off. I don't even infract anyone. I've, admittedly, been pretty useless.

HF has a system of infraction points - 10 points is one infraction, 15 points is two infractions and 20 points is a ban (until the oldest infraction expires). So really, anyone mod on HF could be responsible for a ban, if they give you the last infraction for 20 points - it's not guaranteed a ban is coming from a Canucks mod.
