Lmao, whatever that means!

You two-spirit questioning queer boys in BC are a special breed. Criticizing fine, down to earth Alberta people all of the time. You're just so full of self loathing hate. So bitter, so resentful, so quick with the horrible personal attacks. It's such a shame that the people of Van tarnish such a nice city.

Call your parents, it's been such a long time. They're disappointed in you no doubt, but they love you...call your parents.

You guys pick on cat ladies, so someone has to step up.
I hope your Jordan Peterson boxers don't chafe.

There is a very strong argument for people with no children to pay significantly more taxes (it's why we're here...not to go to Burning Man and Coachella at 30yrs old and then whine that you're broke).
If you're out on Jordan Peterson you've got some soul searching to do.

...again with the personal insults to mask your self loathing leftism. Just do more of what's good and less of what's bad (we all know what that is).

(Not towards the end of careers after the Cups - but the roles they played and their level of play at the time)

Kane
Toews
Sharp
Hossa
Versteeg
Saad
Bolland
Ladd
Madden
Keith
Seabrook
Campbell
Big Buff
Hjalmarsaon
Crawford

McJesus

Almost identical roster talent and depth! Basically a mirror image.

‘Kinda’ wondering or wondering?

If you’re fully committed to wondering - take a peek through the thread. Someone pointed out that I left Hyman off and I stated it was clearly a mistake. Hyman is most definitely part of the Oilers list (in its context).

Awesome! Homophobia is always a good look bud.

1. You are right about BC folks being a special breed (all points you made other than the slurs).

3. Personal attacks like his, like yours, like mine are definitely unacceptable.

2. Being a hillbilly doesn’t make you ‘down to earth’ - just makes you frustrated by marriage laws and shirts with sleeves.

(I used the preferred number sequence of Alberta for the native Berta’s benefit)

I've never understood why people use the term homoPHOBIA. There is perhaps an annoyance, a fatigue, but phobia? Don't think so.

The term homophobia is a blend of (1) the word homosexual, itself a mix of neo-classical morphemes, and (2) phobia from the Greek φόβος, phóbos, meaning "fear", "morbid fear" or "aversion"

In some cases, it’s a fear of a different sort. A fear of self realization - that projects or manifests itself as intolerance.

Well your Nick Leddy example might be exhibit A. He made a great deal to acquire him as a perfect supporting cast member. Won a couple of Cups with him. But instead of falling in love with him he correctly realized he had sufficient depth on defense and could dump his contract, which worked. They won the Cup that year without him.

So maybe having a GM that can make rational, unemotional decisions will help keep the competitive window open. He had to dump Bickell and the cost to do so was Teravainen. Maybe one day he'll need to dump Nurse and the cost will be Holloway. So this is a GM with experience making those tough decisions.

You can't sign McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard to massive extensions without making a tough call somewhere else on the roster. Some GMs are good at building rosters and amassing talent. Bowman can help manage that and maneuver the supporting cast. But your critique is he inherited a great supporting cast and lost a bunch of trades. Good insight. That was his job. He helped win 3 Cups. But should have done better on that Nick Leddy trade. Yawn.

From everything I ever read from Hawks fans they didn't need to dump Bickell and Bowman didn't do anything with the created cap space anyway, seems like it was an awful trade by Bowman.

His 2016 trade deadline was brutal, it set the Hawks back.

Can't remember which offseason it was but the Hawks had a lot of cap space which he partially spent on reacquiring Andrew Shaw. Think he also used some on Olli Maata.

Trading Panarin for Saad was laughable.

I really can't think of many of Bowman's moves that stand out as being any good.

He likes to make a splash but it usually ends up drowning the team. I wonder what he will do now being mandated to win a Cup for the Oil.

I'm pretty sure that Hyman was also on your 1/3 of a player list, with Nuge and Kane. But please, continue to shuffle your narrative.

This makes no sense bud. I left him off the list and then stated it was an omission. What’s shuffling? Same point. Omission was a mistake. Figure it out man!

Bud leave me alone. You’re always inserting yourself in my back-and-forth with people other than yourself. It’s weird and off putting.

It’s one thing to mistakenly omit on a post. It’s another to not be accurate when you are criticizing someone else’s post.

Again, I find you disappointing and uninspired.

Being a hypocrite seems to be what you do best. Since it's an open forum I'm as free as you are to interject, so get over yourself. One day you might write something that makes sense, then maybe you'll get an inspired response from me. But I seriously doubt it because it takes coherence and brains. You're already proven yourself devoid of both.

1. Hypocrite? How so?

2. I never said you couldn’t stalk me and comment on my stuff - I said I found it weird.

3. Making sense and writing something you agree with are two different things.

4. You feel my posts worthy of you responding to them - but not inspiring to make a solid argument?

5. Coherence? You responded so I’m guessing it was good enough, no?

6. Brains? That’s just a weird thing to type man, but I’ll bite just to prove the entirety of your above post incorrect - I technically have to have some level of grey matter in order to operate a phone and type (coherence as well right) So again, wrong.

Anyhoo - if I’m being honest, this seemed like a waste of my time man

Thank you.

Jesus man....just admit to a small mistake and move on!!! What is with you? All of this backtracking and writing 5 paragraphs about why you meant to do this or forgot to do that, or 2months ago "if we would have read what you actually meant to say perhaps maybe" fk dude...you're about the weakest debate around. Just own up, move on, and have some friggin' pride.

What is it with you!? I didn’t think it was possible to be this dumb bud. Seriously.

- I literally admitted the omission almost immediately…and it was to you! Yet here you are asking why I can’t admit a mistake? Christ man.
- I never once wrote a single paragraph about what I wanted to do or meant to do. I clearly (for most literate folks) stated I mistakenly left Hyman off…and put ‘absolutely’ at the end further demonstrate that not only did I agree but again, it was a mistake.
- 2 moths ago? What are you on about? Or is it just more hyperbole in place of actual points?
- Not a good look that you can’t follow along with ‘the weakest debate around’
- Read a book, take your time, follow along
- Have some pride or least apologize to your parents for this

You mad cause you hate women? Or cause you’re homophobic? Was this your father’s doing? Made you self conscious and have an inferiority issue that you take out on women and gay people?
