Really horrible defense by Provorov on the game tying goal. He turned away from the shooter towards a guy heading down the boards, giving the guy an uncontested shot.
- Laceemup88

So, in other words, Provorov should've covered everyone on the play? The Flyers had 5 players back to two Canes. If Provorov moves over to take Necas, what happens? Necas simply passes to a wide open Burns who then has a free lane to the net. Provorov is not to blame there. He played it correctly and covered the RW as a left side D. Konecny stopped skating on the back check and Sanheim was passive, sat back and didn't block the shot.

Was a very lazy play by TK, the entire team gapped up poorly. Sanheim with a perfect screen

I was checking some reported posts and sorry they took a few days to get to, however there was some real vile stuff said and bans were issued. Let's play nice going forward with fellow posters.

If there's no mod around I'll come by and check on things when I can.

People need to get over of it and stop snitching. If I mod sees a offending post all by themselves fine. I’ve gotten banned for posts that don’t violate any terms of service yet see violations every day.
Fine I’m an adult I’m not going to cry in my Cheerios.

Looking at the bottom of the western conference, it looks like 4-5 teams that would likely finish below the Flyers. The East call it 1-2, best case 7th pick? Or do you hope they are bubble playoff team?

There's a system in place because mods can't be everywhere. This is a family friendly forum and it's expected that all members act like it. Regardless of your thoughts on what people do, the things that were said were far over the line and I'm happy the reports came in.

How about we grow up and stop acting like we're in grade school worried about "who's telling on who" and just post like adults and none of it will ever have to happen.

Just so everyone is clear on the rules of the site:

1. Decisions made by Moderators are final
Mods are volunteers dedicated to keeping the forums civil and hockey talk flowing. If you don’t want to face bans, follow the code of conduct. Often Mods will warn before banning, but they aren’t required to. You are assumed to have read this Code of Conduct.

Occasionally a moderator will delete an offending post (and following posts that quote it) without banning. If that happens to you, consider yourself lucky to have avoided the ban and move on without comment.

2. Please keep threads on-topic
Try to keep things on-topic. If Eklund writes a blog on Eastern Conference trade rumors, and you want to talk about the latest NHL video game, please locate the appropriate thread, or create a new one, in the forums.

And yes, there is some more leeway given for general discussion on the threads of the team’s bloggers. But when the thread is devoted to discussing hockey, keep to the point at hand.

3. No foul language or vulgarity
This is a general audience website. This means the content should be appropriate for guests of all ages. We don’t want HockeyBuzz to show up on an unsafe site screen.

Steer clear of using any of George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television". The filter is there for a reason, if you change a word in order to foil the filter, you will get a timeout.

The moderators will decide what's out of line. But if it is not safe for work (NSFW), it is out of line.

4. Respect HockeyBuzz
We welcome links to hockey news or commentary that will generate discussion at HockeyBuzz. Please do not post links to other hockey forums, rumor sites, or fantasy hockey sites, which obviously are our direct competitors. Also, do not use HockeyBuzz to promote products or unrelated websites.

5. Respect the HockeyBuzz Bloggers
Bloggers should be treated with respect at all times. They do a lot of work behind the scenes to dig up information for you. If you want to disagree with them, that's OK, but whether you agree or disagree, do not attack them personally.

6. Respect your fellow HockeyBuzzers
No name calling. And you’re not being clever if you say “any moron knows” or “only an idiot doesn’t understand.” You’re being disrespectful. Talk more about hockey and less about each other. Although playful banter is allowed, that does not mean anything goes, if the banter breaks any part of the code of conduct, it isn’t playful and it is not acceptable. When “Player X stinks" turns into "You stink" you've crossed the line. And yes, the Moderators decide where the line is.

No racial slurs or otherwise derogatory comments based on the target's assumed race, religion, gender, country, sexual orientation, or language. This goes not only for posters and bloggers but for players, management, officials, their families, and others in the public eye. This is a hockey forum for hockey discussion, take hate speech elsewhere.

Do not threaten or intimidate others—posters or bloggers. Just don't do it. If you threaten another member, expect a long, long ban.

It is not against the rules for someone to disagree with you.

7. No trolling and no feeding the trolls
All posters are welcome in all threads, regardless of team loyalty, to discuss hockey. But do not post merely to inflame or disrupt.

Do not engage those who are out to disrupt the thread. Simply hit the post report button "!" and the Mods will deal with it from there.

Do not correct the spelling and grammar of other posters. Their errors may make you question how much credence to give their opinions, that’s up to you, but correcting their lapses is rude and trollish.

8. No threads or posts speculating on the identity of Eklund or any other anonymous blogger.

9. No accusations of "Rumor Theft"
Eklund does not "steal" rumors. If he sees a previously unreported rumor elsewhere, he will always credit the writer/blogger in question.

10. Rumors must be given a source unless a poster has been approved by HockeyBuzz—No fake trades.
If you didn’t read it on a HockeyBuzz blog, please link to legitimate news source. There's too much going on in the REAL hockey world without posting fake rumors and trades. If you have a REAL source, email Eklund.

How about we grow up and stop acting like we're in grade school worried about "who's telling on who" and just post like adults and none of it will ever have to happen.

what happened that a mod posted?

Here is the issue. The moderating is selective. Some posters can flat out call another poster an idiot or a moron. On a daily basis. There is one poster in particular who repeatedly makes personal remarks against others. Nothing ever happens. Then someone will post. "you're being really stupid" and they'll get a month off.

not sure at this point.

wonder the same about Phillipe Myers. now the healthy scratch for Tampa. going back to that trade...who would've bet out of the players traded he would be the only one with games this season so far?

dont think tampa gains much by waiving him as they still need a league min replacement. cant comment on his play as havent seen him less the first few tampa games.

I can't speak to the past as I'm a relatively new mod, mostly in the leaf forum. I can only say I can go forward and do my best to check these individuals and sort it out.

- hello it's me 2050

You can disagree all you want. I can't speak for all mods but from my experience many give warnings, including myself, before a ban is issued. Other times people get bans for saying vile things and it deserve to be handled swiftly.

Posters are in no way allowed to tell others to kill themselves even in a joking manner. It's disgusting and will not be tolerated in any way.

Additionally, since I'm here, politics and religion are also prohibited as they are a slippery slope that generates ridiculous conversation that has nothing to do with hockey.

In which, this isn't the only forum to stay away from those topics, generally they are just polarizing and heated to be civil while remaining anonymous on a website.
