Jensen doesn't play in the OHL anymore...but I did watched a handful of Oshawa games while he was there. There are several sites that have OHL feeds.

I'm also from Ontario and catch games live when I go back, although I've only seen Jensen live once.

A guy on HF boards posts live AIK feeds (Jensen's current team) for almost every game, and there's also a site that replays them either full or condensed.

So yes, I've watched him play quite a bit this year...

What's the site Fosco, I do a legacy draft and there's more than a few players I've drafted on AIK.

I'm curious what it takes to get banned. I haven't been either. We still see the same trolls in here sayin the same stupid shiet.

My bans:

Posting "wow you guys suck" in the DAL blog when the Stars lost on the last day back when we played the Hawks when they were the 8th seed.

Posting a picture/meme with the word (frank) in it in response to pk'er in the COL blog.

You're kidding yourself with this unintentional garbage. It may not have been pre-meditated, but it was definitely intentional. Either that or Hansen's the dumbest mofo on planet earth trying to catch that puck with his elbow.
- Ogilthorpe2



Mofo right back atcha big guy.... it is now a penalty to catch the puck. Either way, Hossa .... meh.

Usually direct insults or blatantly inflammatory posts will get you banned. Some mods are more sensitive than others and sometime the mod has just seen enough. If you post to be friendly, good natured and aren't a jerk, you can generally avoid bans.

Yeah I'd like to know as well. Some guys get banned all the time, while others get nothing no matter what they say.

It depends on the mod, I've seen worse left on other blog forums and I've seen people banned for what I would term innocuous comments.

I put my name in for troll hunter. I don't care who gets it, just want someone to help clean up the comments and try and keep it focused on Canucks.

I pmed a couple of the sites I've used. The second one is hit and miss—sometimes it asks you to download torrent software. Might have to refresh the sites to find more recent stuff.

Didn't feel like sifting too far back tonight—haven't watched much in the last couple weeks. I'll PM you some others when I come across them again.

There's a poster on HF who often posts links, highlights, condensed games embedded right on the site, as well. Might want to check on there on/after AIK game days.

There's probably some helpful people on their SEL board, as well. I've only ventured over there a few times.

I have had some weird bans! I used to pride myself that I never got banned. Then I (edit-edit-edit-edit) with a (edit-edit-edit) Brian Burke and a Penguin (edit edit edit) Scientology (edit edit).

I will say that I do not like the inconsistency but what are you going to do. The refs/mods need to make judgement calls all the time.

I wish they would send a PM with a final warning because sometimes you are just misubnderstood.

I'm curious. If a Canucks fan gets banned, do they blame Bettman for that as well? Do they throw smoke bombs or overturn a car? Forearm the back of their dog's head? Instinctively dive onto the floor? Just wondering aloud...

I'd ask you a question, but know you won't be able to answer for 3-5 business days.

Thanks, it'll help to see how players I've drafted years ago how they play.

We're all volunteers just chosen from among the posters and most of us don't really know each other. There is no manual, just a 'do what you think is right' policy. It's bound to be relative to what each mod thinks is best.

Thats the way it should be. The other one I hate.... and you can delete this post if you think it will start a conversation about it.... I hate it when Rypen is brought up or when people joke about Kessels' cancer. Those are insta-bans in my opinion. Celebrating injury is kinda off base too.

I think a lot of it has to do with the age of the poster, the younger they are, the more likely to troll since they grew up in the internet age with the anonymity of it. Us older (30+) tend to be less of trolls because we came before Facebook/Twitter etc... heck, I still have my 9600 baud phone modem, BBS server and Apple IIC that I ran it on.

And you must get an idea of who is who and what they mean. I can read most of the Canuck posters and know right away who is saracstic and who is being mean.

I posted a Meme earlier that said Hossa was Karma for Sedin... but I only posted it here. If I did that in the Chicago room, I think that may have crossed the line too.

Lastly...

I, for one, only have one identity on here. Having more than one is ... well.... those people need help.

I speak fluent DOS 3.0


You cannot be serious that you have a BBS Server!

Back in the day, I would go on those, take 45 minutes to download a Homer Simpson .wav file of him saying "Doh" and think I was part of NASA.

I recall taking 6 hours to link computers to play DOOM or DUKE NUKEM and then only have like an hour to play.

Seriously, I thought about porting it over to my main box and running over a telnet server but since I never did get that many users I decided to forget it.
