Go to a winery and ask for a beer? ha

Yeah you been going strong all morning arguing. I would get to fed up and the new boss of the boards would have to give me a break from posting. haha
- kgrpitt

Funny thing is I havent argued much. Been playing Capt Obvious more than anything.

Yes, welcome to 2012 where the Pens are the beneficiary of every break that can go our way and we take liberties on everybody. Does hearing it from a Pens fan make you feel better?
- Rawdog9755

Yes, actually it does. I now have it in writing. I'll print it out, frame it, and show it to anyone who doesn't believe it. Thanks.

Out of curiosity---were you approached about being a ref? Kind of surprised Canadian got it instead of you.
- Rawdog9755

Nope, I couldn't have less interest in it. God bless our friend from Calgary.

I want to be able to ignore the morons, not police them.

Oh good lord John, now I'm going to have to read this entire thing.

Talk about "keeping up"...you were the genius who said that Simmonds shouldn't have cared about his teammates being outnumbered on the ice (if he just skated away to the bench) and your "justification" for that stupid comment was another stupid comment...that the referees would call a penalty if a penguin committed a "3rd man in" infraction. LOL. Hence my rebuttal about the referees not calling things they should have called in that game (& in the line brawl). Your response to that?? "I don't care if your team gets a fair shake." ROFLMAO!!!! That wasn't the issue, smart guy...YOU were the one who brought up the referees calling penalties for stuff and basically said that Simmonds should have just let them call it if it happened...when you're faced with evidence to the contrary and proven wrong again, your response is that you don't care blah blah blah. Are you keeping up with all this, Mr. Mensa???

Good Lord, trying to have a debate with you is like trying to reason with a child. It's just not possible and you have to either laugh or shake your head at the results.
- shonoff95

What are you talking about?
Lets recap: Simmonds did have an option not to fight even if it was the wrong thing to do when he should be protecting his teammates. That is a fact, not an opinion.
You bring up it would leave his teammates outnumbered. To that I said the Flyers could have sent somebody off the bench to deal with it and take the suspension or rely on the refs to make a call on a 3rd man in penalty if the Pens were going 2v1 on a flyer. You didnt have confidence the penalties would be called to which I basically responded not our problem.
Through it all you stay here trying to show us the light of where we are wrong and resort to calling us stupid yet you are the one on Pens board spewing about what a crappy shake the flyers got and how things shouldve happened differently. You will find no comfort here.

Just ban shonoff and be done with it---go back to the beginning. There is a point where he goes beyond hockey and resorts to name calling--disrespectful.
Here is his post from page 6:
"You really are an idiot with absolutely no knowledge of how line brawls work in hockey and what you're supposed to do. If he just skates to the bench, that leaves his teammates outnumbered on the ice and the potential for a 2-on-1...which is never supposed to happen in hockey but given the douchebaggery levels of the Penguins, is absolutely an option that can't be ignored. Believe it or not, Simmonds did exactly what he was supposed to do in trying to tie up an opposing player. Your logic of "well if someone skates towards a scrum instead of away from it, it's perfectly acceptable to start hitting him in the head" is so moronic that I'm not sure if it's funny or sad. The next time 87 or 71 skates "toward" a scrum (and they know they're "not having tea at center ice") and then someone drops the gloves and starts punching them, let's see what you say then. okey dokey?"

With the way things are trending we could use 2 since Canadian cant be here all the time and it is getting really annoying that the regulars are hardly posting because of the infestation.

Where the eff did I ever complain about "what a crappy shake the flyers got and how things shouldve happened differently?" Wow, reading comprehension has reached a new all-time low. I'm not looking for comfort, buddy.

No one sends out players from the bench to deal with on-ice fights/brawls. Seriously, no one. Only you dbag penguins do that kind of crap. Not even konopka, avery, burrish, no one else does that. That is not a valid suggestion or option at all. And you're an idiot for even mentioning it. (Plus, if someone HAD done that in a game against the pens, you'd be back on here pissing & moaning about it anyway.)

You're unbelievable. And beyond hope. Enjoy the game tomorrow, pal. And then the next 5-6 games after that, which will be your last ones of the season.

You really fail to realize I am simply pointing out options and not weighting them. What you think of the options does not change the fact that they are still in fact options.
All you have been doing in all your posts is complaining about the Pens did this and the Pens did that and the Flyers didnt or wouldnt get a fair shake. That is the general sentiment of your posts.
We will take a poll.
Anybody besides shonoff care to disagree?

Actually, if you go back before that, this is a cute one posted by acdc1206 on page 4 that kinda started everything off:
"Uh, hey genius you do realize that even Briere said it was a CLEAN hit by Vitale don't you? He just WHINED saying that the hit was meant to hurt him so I guess every single clean check in hockey is meant to do that. Please try to use some objectivity instead of acting ignorant. Your comment about Simmonds was hysterical by the way. Hopefully, Bylsma told his players that they aren't allowed to touch him because he's got a boo boo.
The funny thing about Lavy and Torts going off is they act like they never dressed players like Shelley, Sestitio and Avery. Typical hypocrisy"

So let me get this straight...you're saying that you're simply throwing out "options and not weighting (sic) them"...but then you want people to believe that you're smart? Okay, got it.

Oh good lord John, now I'm going to have to read this entire thing.

Just give me my ban now please. I said many disrespectful things and I don't want to be able to comment on this thread until the first series is about 2 weeks over. So like 5 games then another 2 weeks probably like the ECF. Thank you!

Yours starts on page 4 actually. and continues into page 6 until I point it out that you resort to name calling and then you back off for fear of being banned.

Ok I made it to page 8, can't stomach any more. A few things...

- shonoff95 just go. You are a massive troll that has come out of nowhere. I've warned you before, I'll let you make your point but not for 6 pages and not when you resort to name calling. Your leash is short.

- keatondixon has become the most logical Flyer fan, seriously who stole this guys account info?

- can someone who is making the argument explain to me how the Penguins are the whiners over the last week? Seriously, I would like to know because I'll I've seen is too rival organizations spewing garbage to the media after they lost. It's called gamesmanship folks, welcome to the playoffs.

-bulliesphan87 is definitely a pens fan.

Thankyou fine sir.

So let's see...if I'm using your "logic" correctly...I could suggest that you take the option of stepping away from your keyboard, going down to the river, and jumping off one of those bridges as a viable way to end this spat. Do I have that right?? It doesn't matter how stupid, inhumane, or illegal it might be...it's an "option," right?????

What you're doing is called feeding the trolls. Don't respond and if he continues he will be gone. Quickly.

Your option to suggest. What I think of it doesnt make it any less of an option. That is called logic, but then again I understood that on page 4 and it took you 10 pages to come around.

Or just ban him. There is plenty of cause for termination.
