Didn't see a name posted, but no big deal. Just wanted to make sure I ignore posters like that.

I'll say this: when (if) he comes back on, you'll know. Just look for the guy entrenched in pointless arguments with a handful of users.

Too bad, say what you want about him, nobody here understands the salary cap better than he does.

You know that saying about how when you sit down at a poker table if you don't see the sucker, it's you? Well....

That's for damn sure. I remember when no one could figure out the double 9-game tryout thing, and I was shocked he didn't know.

Agreed.

Besides, everyone has their faults and things that they do that bug others. (All that BOB RYAB poop comes easily to mind, for example.)

Just ignore it.

I still believe that Holmgren's statement was incorrect and that Laughton could have played a second 9 game stint, based on the language in the CBA.

Wait wait wait. Are you trying to say that BOB RYAB FIST is NOT the answer?

You know, I was thinking about it the other day...and I don't think MJL has ever actually instigated an argument on here. He has a way with words that can offend people (myself included), but for the most part, he just rubs people the wrong way, and then they seek out an argument with him on a daily basis, or at least pick his posts apart/spin his words to draw him into an argument. Again, I understand that he can rub people the wrong way (as can I), but compared to some of the OLD users on here (not any more), he's not too bad.

He said he is back Feb 1. So just a few days. My issue with him WAS that he used to twists posts around and get so far from the topic in a conversation that it drove me nuts. He would get people, including me, so frustrated that we ended up doing something to get banned.

That being said, he adds a lot to this forum and I look forward to the first fight.

That's true. Remember, he made the opening night roster, he just didn't dress.

They do. He also has a beautiful habit of picking out posters he isn't a fan of, and going through 30 pages of the board to quote everything they post, to just start something ego driven debate.

But hey, its also a great way to draw hits for the site, which I have a belief is part of the season is took so long to get a ban.

Whatever.

Always gave him that...to me a lot of it just a bunch of minutia I care not to delve into, so yeah, I'll give that up to him anyday.

After watching LA and San Jose the other night, I think that we'll have a ton of trouble cracking LA's defense. That might be a brutal game for us to watch.

I hope not..... I live about 90mins away from LA and Im gonna be at the game. Last time I saw the Flyers play the Kings in LA Richards and Carter both had goals for the Flyers and I think even Zherdev potted one. Oh and leaky Leighton was in stellar form as usual.

This is one thing that seemed unfair...he gets under people's skin and basically goads them into posting things they wouldn't normally post and they get banned for it...I bet if you looked at all the bannings on Bill's threads over the years, a large percentage would be as a result of an interaction with MJL...it doesn't help (and it's knid of ironic) that he seems to be quick to report people if he feels like they insulted him or crossed whatever line he felt was crossed.

Yeah, and it wouldn't be like him not to you remind you of that every chance he gets.

IMO, this place has been a much nicer place to talk hockey while he's been gone -- apart from the occasional PoliticsBuzz'ing, of course.

I'm thinking all of them are going to be a channel surfing bit of 3 hours. I can watch them lose but I have a difficult time enduring them being outclassed.
