Okay, so I usually try to avoid reading his blogs, but HallFan came out with a real doozy this time. Just read this paragraph:
So many things that are wrong; so little chance he'd admit when he's wrong (ironic as he starts the posts with "I will admit when I am wrong"). - MaximumBone
Well let's see.
I don't remember Hedman on the Oilers.
Hedman is the only Lightning defender with a NMC, so therefor is the only defender they absolutely have to protect.
Hedman just signed a long term contract, for a cap hit under 8 mil, that ends before he is 35. Making it one of the best contracts out there for a top defenseman.
Other than that HallFan was bang on. |

Was it the part about Victor Hedman being a former Oiler that sold you on it? That's what sold me - MaximumBone
More or less.
Love this gem too.
"Yes we may lose Nurse or Sekeras but would you trade those two for Fowler and Vatenen/Lindholm?"
Nurse and Sekera for Vatanen and Lindholm? (frank) if only. |

He also misses the fact that Nurse is expansion-exempt and that Sekera has a NMC. Beyond that, he doesn't understand that NTCs are not forced into protection (only NMCs are), he neglects to mention Nuge in his write up and he calls Vanek fast. There's more, but my god. |

It would take less time to mention what the silly bastard got right in that blog. Glorious piece of literature. |

I think he said the Oilers play hockey, and there is an expansion draft next offseason. Other than that I imagine there was precious little. |

Pretty much. Loved how he thinks Jamie Benn is an upcoming UFA and that Edmonton should trade Lucic to Dallas for him and pay him 7 Mill. (frank)ing astounding. |

I think almost every UFA he talked about has re-signed. Hedman, Benn, Marchand, Steen |

ill hold off on that one abit
leon played decent, but aside from a couple games , hes really not as dominant lately as id hope.
that injury for pulu sucks too. taken a step back it seems. i guess thats to be expected, but he was just starting to figure it out before he went down and was looking super dangerous - HB77
Theres no need for a total rebuild...but Jesus H Christ we need some secondary scoring. I feel like an bumhole saying it too, because either Nuge, LD, and Eberle are underacheiving or they simply arent that good...and the Oilers have gone all in betting on those horses.
Ive been saying for years that we needed veteran scorers to show the kids where the bear poops in the buckwheat, and all these years later 2/3 of those guys are veterans themselves , we add Lucic and we still need them????
I absolutely hate to say it, but it almost seems like we need yet another top pick to replace Hall as the #2 driver on this team like Malkin, Messier and Francis are/were to their respective general talents.
And dont get me started on finding that elusive #1D-Man.... |

If only that was the blogs biggest mistake ! It's poorly written, uninformed, biased, unrealistic and just generally fuking moronic.
this is the same guy that said the oilers defence a few years ago was as good as the bruins presidents trophy winning defence. A healthy version
Absolute insanity
I wanna feel bad for him cause he's just so clueless, but his insistence on continuing to write the same dumb sh1t over and over just irks me.
Literally the worst poster on this website. |

I disagree...there are worse.
Maybe one of the most clueless, or obtuse.
Not one of the worst. |

I like how he admitted he was wrong on Larsson ...upgraded him from prospect to potential 3-4 defenceman.

Burping on Youtube... In favor of this or not?
Minor insults aimed towards your viewers (calling them Zorches, and telling them to comment, but pointing out that you really don't care if they do)... In favor of this or not?

If you're gonna be the kind of guy that does the first thing (nothing wrong with it), the last thing you should so is imply or state your ambivalence towards them sharing their thoughts (everything wrong with it). |
