Honestly... telling people the mods hate it when you flag someone because it causes them work.... that is hilarious.... but following it up with school yeard name calling is just classic

Do everyone a favour. Take a deep breath and then scream your lungs out and type every blessed insult and awful thing you can think of because, as I see it, Makita is going to ban you. It will happen. You might as well go out in a blaze of glory now.

SHUN BACK ON.

I'll bite.

1. They will be cheesed if you are reporting posts that arent violating the COC. Guaranteed.
2. I never called anyone any names.
3. I guarantee I will not be banned.
4. Happy Flagging.

I don't mind people dropping in to talk hockey. There's lots to disagree with here, but nothing flag worthy.

The rules are:

As I see them... for people coming into other teams "rooms"

1. Are you inciting?
2. Are you insulting?
3. Are your questions leading to conversation or designed for fighting.

I think he his guilty on all three counts and while yes, he did not post porn or swear his heads off, he clearly was here to be a disruptive influence.

As such, he will get one of the following:

1. A 4 hour ban just as a warning
2. No ban but be remembered as a disturbing influence.

I think he will get the latter but he must realize that people's reputations here do not end at the end of the day. Mods remember. I know Matika does. He is the first mod to really put a stop to this immature level of trolling that we are currently seeing.

Sooo glad I didn't post this weekend. From what I have seen, just garbage on repeat and leaf/flames trolls. Happy deadline day tomorrow boys, will see you bright and early at 6am

So Beatle John...

When the Canucks have a very active deadline day tomorrow and they trade their upcoming UFAs and attempt to capitalize on opportunities, will that be considered "tanking?" If not, what's that double standard called?

Trading a UFA is a totally different thing... surely you see that. You must also see that the Leafs signed multiple UFAs to single year contracts last year with the express purpose of flipping them.

UFAs are not tanking. Collecting them for the purpose of trading is another question and a little dodgy.

Who knows... maybe it is brilliant! But dishonest to the fans...

And something I have previously explained but you do not seem to get....

The Leafs are trading many more players than just a Hamhuis and a Vrbata. And the returns they are getting do nothing until 2019/20 unless you rush them. The Leafs, to be legitimate, need more balance.

I mean, how can you honestly look at your current goalie situation and not say that that is designed to lose.

Yesterdays blog i figure us ending up 6-10th
I narrowed it down to 7/8th.
I also predicted us to win a top 3 lotto pick.
Figured we r due a lil luck on a hunch.

So again.... tanking had nothing to do with trading UFAs. You are clearly and obviously misrepresenting that and forgetting that rentals have been a part of the league for years. What is not part of the league is trading yoru #1 goalie, your captain, your ..... your..... your.....

Anyways I clearly see what you are doing.... you are so embarrassed and depressed by what the Leafs have done that you think you need to compare them to other organizations but you are not allowed to put your level of crazy on the same shelf as our level of crazy. We have totally different situations and have chosen different paths. Deal with it.

There's nothing wrong or illegal with flipping players on one year deals. It's a brilliant strategy that has landed the organization A LOT of picks and some decent prospects for the future. Like it or not, it's a well thought out plan that is being executed near perfectly.

There's also nothing "dishonest" about it at all. When those players were signed to those deals last summer it was pretty clear what their intentions were then. Everyone knew it.

Ps. I knew you couldn't shun me. Now you're shunned.

Meh. I didn't see anything that I found personally offensive, but ultimately that's for the mods to decide. That's why they get the big bucks.

I think he means unsportsmanlike, which it is, undeniably. But if you're committed on going down that path then it's a pretty smart strategy. It certainly isn't dishonest, the fans seem onboard, ownership clearly is, and I'm sure even the players know what the deal is when they sign those one year contracts.

11 picks in the 2016 draft is not going to do anything perfectly.
Theirs nothing dishonest about charging top ducats for garbage. Happens everywhere.
No denying a rebuild was underway but everything to do with an 82 game tank.
Unprofessional n a new 1st in sports history.

You know... I even tried to throw him a bone and say that there may be some merit in that plan.... I don't think he reads too well.

Clearly he did not like me pointing out that all he is trying to do is draw an equivocation between the teams to make him feel better.

I disagree.

The team is:
A. Shedding bad contracts
B. Moving players that aren't in long term plans
C. Not signing certain players because the timing isn't right
D. Following ALL league rules
E. Using the assets, resources and tools available... Same as every team has

The truth is that previous management/coaching groups did more damage than good. This team wasn't going anywhere with Phaneuf as the captain, Kessel as our best forward, Reimer/Bernier in net, brutal contracts i.e. Clarkson Kessel and Phaneuf's, poopty coaching from Wilson & Carlyle... These were all mistakes!

All Lou, Shannny and Babs are trying to do is stripe it down to the foundation and build something that thrives and is sustainable... The quickest and most efficient way to do that is by implementing the strategy that they're using now. It's not cheating, it's not dishonest, it's just a plan that they believe in and it appears to be working... And most Leafs fans are happy about it.

Thanks for looking out for us my man

- Nighthawk

Even before Babs coached his first game, they said that we were looking at about 3 years before we'd start to see some success. AGAIN, they were transparent with their intentions and plans. What they didn't say was how they were going to do it.

How has Vancouver's "hybrid rebuild" been working for the last few years? This team isn't winning with Sedin's, that ship has sailed. I'm not trolling when I say that as I think a number of Canucks fans would agree.

The sooner Vancouver commits to a proper rebuild, the sooner this team will be a contender again. Until then, this team bound to remain mediocre.

I'm guessing that the you guys want and expect more than just mediocrity, right?

Its the 3/4 pole 2016 draft Mockery Lottery prediction time.....

I pick Toronto Calgary Vancouver 1.2.3 winners Oilers pick 4th.
Overview: Vancouver moves up 4 spots n Calgary up 3 spots.

Last 1/4 push sees Buffalo showing signs of real hope.
Carolina n Columbus r ready to show dark days r gone.
Edmonton is primed for big moves n serving notice.
Jets in only a 1 year funk.
Habs see the work ahead n gets some offense as a REAL priority.
Arizona will surprise ppl n make some noise.
If not now the above will do it this offseason.

So Beatle John...

- As_I_See_It

Hamhuis for Bowey or a 1st would rock my world

Hamhuis/Vrbata for Bickell/Pokka/conditional
