You're an agreeable kind of guy, haha. I'm sure there are lots of other good examples, but don't compare to 1st round success (I don't need to tell you that.) It's a gamble, fun to watch and track, but there are no guarantees.

At the rate the productive taxpayers are fleeing the left-coast these loonies will build a wall to keep people in, not out... It's what they do.. Of course then leftists will get sudden amnesia and magically walls will be ok and promoted for "the greater good of society". I mean they cant have those that reluctantly financially support the state go fleeing to places like Texas or Colorado.. What is the left coast going to do when the majority are reliant on the state and the state has no more taxpayers to steal from?.... That's why "leftists" build walls, to keep the "assets" er educated and productive in... I mean they're not opposed to walls at all when they benefit from them. The Berlin wall is a fantastic example of that, of course kids these days know nothing about that because presently history is no longer considered part of proper education..

You see, walls are only bad when the purpose is to keep people in - they're fine to keep people out, but of course many get that idea backwards and believe walls are wrong to keep people out and good to keep people in.

Of course neither political party wants a solution to our immigration problems because immigration is meant to be a never-ending problem hence a never-ending talking point - a problem that politicians will make a priority while they pander to us on their campaign trail but will do nothing about if elected... But Trump isn't a politician so his priorities aren't to his political party and their best interest as an establishment, but the middle class US citizen. Trump has no allegiance to anyone except the republicans, democrats, libertarians and independents that voted for him - and that there is why the wall isn't going up as quickly as many of us would like.. If we had a wall and actually DID everything we could do about illegal immigration then this issue would no longer be an issue, but these establishment republicans and democrats want it to be an issue... I mean the fact it is a problem shows that our government isn't doing enough to solve it..... The truth is that Trump's ideas are really screwing up the establishments agenda and plans... You see, politicians are only supposed to PRETEND to have solutions to our problems, they're not supposed to actually fix those problems, and building a wall would be a solution to this problem hence no wall, and it's certainly not for a lack of effort -- its because establishment politicians are the enemy of the people... It's because they act in their own best interests as a collective establishment, not our best interests.. We're merely nothing more than useful idiots that vote, and are dooped into foot the bill for their lavish lifestyles - just a bunch of morons that keep them in power.. I mean that's how they view us "common folk"...

Of course it's funny when they say "Orange man lies, where's your wall?" as if obstructing the wall somehow makes Trump a liar, lol.. Yea where is that wall? oh right, Trump could cure cancer and the establishment would obstruct the cure (they probably would given big pharma owns them).. Trump wants 5.8 billion for a wall, for our own security and the establishment objects, then foolishly believe obstructing Trump like this is a good idea.. Of course these are the same people that said absolutely NOTHING when Obama loaded a military transport plane with 5 billion dollars in cash and shipped it off to Iran in the middle of the night -- right, nothing to see there folks, but spending that on a wall - Orange Man bad - infrastructure spending bad.... lol when in reality 5.8 billion is absolutely nothing... Trump may as well be asking for a dollar because that's closer to 5 billion than our annual budget is...

I don't know ... maybe we could just stick to hockey talk on hockey message boards ... you know - seeing how this is a hockey message board.

Wow.

I remember - not so long ago - when I was strongly condemned by several here - including, as I recall, Mr. S2S - for posting political views on this forum.

True, they were from the progressive / liberal viewpoint....

I guess it’s OK to post nationalist pro-Trump commentary - just not any opposing viewpoint.

Lots of hypocrisy around, I think.

I'm of the mindset that it doesn't belong here, which several have already said, this is for hockey. We got enough tension and separation between us when it comes to the hawks, we don't need anymore on more controversial topics. No political post is acceptable.

Getting away from hockey, which I grudgingly do. Agree with this.

It's more as the far left barking and far right barking and the rest of us in the middle repulsing the extremes.

The far rights really are racists, they don't want non-whites or non-Christians in the country. The far lefts are cry-babies pushing weird green policies.

Make America Great Again? We have military bases on every region in the world. McDonald's, Starbucks, Disney, Star Wars and Lady GaGa have conquered every society.

At the same time are we tyrants and colonizers? Hell no, we keep order and participate in this world.

Not officially a MOD but I do speak to them

Keep the politics off the board. I know a long HB suspension this season is not all that harsh of a punishment but the trade dead line is coming up and could be fun for us Hawks fans. So please no religion, no politics. Its really a simple request . Besides you will not be changing any ones mind anyways.


Please.


No more warnings coming.

P.S. Penalties may still be handed out for what was already posted. Thanks.

Nice post man. I think you might be up for the hockey buzz comment Calder.




What do you think Forsling's future will hold?

From a 4th period article suggesting the PREDS have made Tolvanen available.

LOL one of these things is not like the other....

The Predators have expressed interest in the likes of Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Artemi Panarin, Ottawa Senators stars Mark Stone and Matt Duchene, and New York Rangers forward Kevin Hayes, among others.

This team isn’t going anywhere with Jeremey Colliton as coach. This is the NHL, not a Tier 2 Swedish league.

He doesn’t have the personnel to play man to man, yet that’s the system he installs. Every night we see slow defenseman chasing forwards behind the net, up the sidewall and out to the blue line. The other defenseman gets exposed down low, and most of the Hawk forward aren’t smart enough to drop down to take the D man’s low spot.

And how the hell do you run Forsling and Gustafsson out as a pair against one of the stronger fore checking teams in the league? If there was ever a night to play Koekkoek, it was last night.

Colliton will not be the HC when the Hawks again are Cup contenders. He’ll be back in some 2nd level Euro league, where he belongs.

- scottak

I thought the same thing, Bruins are a tough team, especially at home, Koekkoek is definitely tougher than Forsling.

Good idea that’s one subject I never get involved with On these boards, I’m moving off of Tom Wilson and On to Josh Manson, Washington isn’t dealing Wilson, and Manson would look really good on the backend for the Hawks , While having shades of daddy, he can also play in today’s game.

We're adults. Even D. He just is the same size as a child. There is no reason for MODS on an opinion board. Just because some people get their undies in a bunch is no reason to ruin the flow that has been happening on this thread since some changes were made.
