I know a lot of older guys who think they know a lot, but only spout their opinion as fact. Guys that think hockey is less skill today than 20 years ago. Knowledge of the past doesn't mean your opinions and knowledge of the present are any better.

So because some old people are dumb therefore young people are smart?

You would seriously rather have a college aged Flyers fan blogging for you than someone who would probably actually know what they are talking about (in-depth knowledge of the Oil, past and present)?

That's fine if that is the case, we're all entitled to our own opinion.

So hire Don Cherry?

Wouldn't that be great?

He just told me why he was banned, so maybe it played into my post

Ya I asked him too. He'll be back tomorrow tho. I miss him all ready.

I don't think anyone here cares how old the person is, as long as they aren't bi-polar and are good at what they write.

Want normal conversation to come back here.

Guys a (frank)ing lurker though.

Shouldn't be a shock though, has been caught being a peeping laughs East of Winnipeg a lot.

I agree. Although a lot of guys that are 40-50 think the game should be played by 6'2-6'5 canadians and that hits are the most important stat.

Also doesn't help this guy's case that he's a flyers fan.

I hear you.

I'm not saying being older directly correlates with intelligence. Longbottom proves that wrong. I'm just pointing out the older you are, the more knowledge you can possess, which can lead to a better written product.

It seems like most of the Oiler fans are hellbent on having a 19 year old Flyers fan as their blogger though. So be it.

I'm not really for this FLYERSROCK fellow becoming the oiler blogger. I can read the inexperience in his writing and again for those that haven't noticed, he's a flyers fan. If they found a 25-30YO guy that knows his stuff and can write and a 40YO guy that knows his stuff and can write, I'm indifferent. Age can be a non-factor in the right scenario

This.
We need a blogger and this guy stepped up and offered. Is he the best choice? No, but at the moment I would rather him blogging than no one. He seems smart and sensible enough, and isn't going to troll blog.

Well I don't agree with this as this is exactly how Richard got the job. The craziness was in the MYHB, but people didn't care they wanted someone.

The not going to troll blog thing is key for me. I hated when clouts would stir the pot and we would get a rediclous amount of pissed off TO/van/other fans. Good for him and his hits, bad for anyone trying to have/follow a reasonable conversation.

is this the most hits (on a blog) cloutier ever got?

fair enough. I wasn't around for the beginning of Cloutier.

That is exactly the opposite of how you hire someone.

Jesus Christ. Are all these people Flyersrock on alt names?

"Yeah, the newspaper needed a new sports reporter after the old one left. We hired Billy's son, Jeff, to fill in. Sure he's only 19, fresh out of high school, but what the hell. It'll save us time actually looking for someone who is the right fit. Let's just hire the first person who asks."

Guys, I have decided to be the blogger.

I want to co-blog during Kings-Oil games.

Clouts started as bland as any other blogger...until he figured out that trolling gets more hits. Hell, I remember you and Zombie both ragging on him a lot for living in magical fantasy world and not doing actual blogging.

Fair enough.

Oil - Kings games will be the few times in the hockey season where the blog will turn into old Clouts-Barry ramblings.

I'll have to brush up on my simile usage.

My favorite berry quote was

"if the kings lost in home ice like the penguins did, I'd have to make a trip the pet store and bestbuy because I would have shot my dog and smashed my tv with a bat"

It was my location for a while.
