The turning point about Jake (for me) was he was drafted as a gritty forward and when he got here said I don't want to play that style. I want to be a scorer.

I think the goat horns he wore at the World Juniors should have been a warning sign, but by then it was too late.

100% I was happy when they drafted him & OJ, man was I wrong.

I was pissed at the OJ pick but liked JV. Yup we missed the boat on those two,

They let their best draft pick ever walk. Bring back Tryamkin.

I know all too well how that thread was policed in the past and how the clique was given a pass on even the most vulgar homophobic outbursts when the people sent there to be targeted would get banned for far less and not of that nature...

No protection now....

Don’t you start that again. That shit went on for months. Basically started Lordy on his current persona.
The calls of favouritism was crazy. If true, then why the fuck do I get banned so much? Makita hit me just as hard or even harder than most. He always explained why, I didn’t agree, but I served my time and moved on. I think you should too.

He was candid, so is Tochett, just not to that level.

I enjoyed Torts wish he was here longer.

This has way more of an effect if you actually take the time to spell his name right.
Tkachuk is out of the playoffs so far, I think him and Johnny are going to Cancun early April.

Probably with a bunch of their old Flames teammates!

I don’t love that guy. He acted like an idiot while here. That Calgary thing was entertaining in a WWF way but ultimately embarrassing for the franchise. Sure he’s brutally honest which is refreshing but his efforts here showed me he’s more bravado then substance.

My rule of thumb is if we are not drafting top 10 then I really don't follow it. We have had too many Brendan Gaunce, Nicklas Jensen, and Jordan Schroeder type players.

Damn even Jake Virtanen and Ollie Juolevi top 10 picks make a fan wanna puke.

I was being more sarcastic and trying to irritate you with weaponize cap space.

You didn't fall for it

There will always be tears and conspiracy, they are the constant of this board

I could go very deep with examples both in the open and in private of just how much bias he had here... and how he crossed the line. The very first time he showed up in my mail was to pat me on the back and tell me well done for tearing into someone on here. I thought I was getting a warning because I threw some heavy punches. Instead he applauds me and then proceeds to tell me a bunch of personal stuff he learned in private conversations about that person and go on about how much the clique hates the guy. "Good work" I was told. I knew it was a sign of things to come with our new ref and I was right.

You can say what you want about bans but when it came to his friends, they just logged on to an alt, picked up the sword where they left off moments before and he just let that roll. He even bragged about knowing who the alts were but still the BS continued page after page. The only time I saw him go after the alts was when it was who he and the clique were waring with.... not his friends. The double standards were endless...

Flyers look terrible. Hextall is a moron. You can see the Pens starting their decline. They pretty well went all in this summer with some long contracts for older players.

It still seems like they are trying to improve their goalie situation and get a look at Silovs while Demko is out or they would be playing Martin. I find that a little contradictory.

I don't see that as trying to win as much as I look at it as seeing how close Silovs is and can he handle it. I think of it as more of planning for next year.

But who knows for sure.

When you say "they" are tanking, I agree with the front office tanking. I really don't see Tocchet do anything other than using the players available which is controlled by management between the call ups and players on IR...

It's a conspiracy theory. They're quite common here.

Hart sure looked like Martin there... way the fk out of his crease.
