Ignore & let stuff go then call a ticky tacky call on a runt.

I mean, I get that they haven’t really called anything, but that was a penalty. He got it for the retaliation. Initiate, don’t retaliate.

No argument, but of all the poop that's happened in the game THAT is what you call? The inconsistency is the frustrating thing.

Anyone posting after a ban with other accounts is not wearing their bans like a badge... sorry.

For an anarchist you sure do have a lot of rules.

I think it’s because the refs see one team getting hammered, and angry about it, and then one guy throws an elbow. Got to keep your cool if you’re going to try and play a skill game against a heavy team.

Well I told you so.

But you can't give one team a pass over another because "that's their style", it may not be 1 to 1 in terms of the plays but Minny has done stuff just as dirty/illegal.

I just want to see Schenn decapitate Fiala at this point

I'm not an anarchist.

Nope. My month ban I wasn't arguing with anyone at all. I posted a joke at nucker about the licking he was going to get at the imaginary picnic. He and I were not even in a discussion at the time...no argument.

My conversation with a former ref, Miccah about what we were told about the vax when it was first made available wasnt heated at all. Probably 3 posts each. He and I had a civil discussion about it. Both people made concessions and it was over. I didnt get banned for that. I got banned after I was told to "shut the (frank) up" by Makita and pushed back. I didnt start the conversation about that topic either btw...

Look, I watched Vantel get banned after he criticized Allvin by name a bunch and he got accused of hating woman by one of our mods. Fuel was thrown on the fire by Makita. We all know Vantel is going to respond to a lie like that with even more anger and it was followed up with a 3 week ban. He could of just been quietly given a day or something but there was no sexism in Vantels beef displayed and that was totally unfair. Why would a ref do that? It's (frank)ed up... that is classic bait.... not moderating.

This board woukd be dead if it didn't have a mod as lenient as Makita is

That's how it works my guy, you establish a rep of being hard to play against and then you get away with poop. Look at the Blues winning the cup.

Everyone is shocked when a Canuck throws a big hit or does something borderline, including the refs

Firstly, I was joking about you and Bloated, you have had several sparing matches.

Secondly, I can’t disagree more with your narrative that Vantel or anyone else was bated into a ban. I challenge any mother(frank)er out there to bait me into a ban. Won’t happen, because I’m not that stupid.
