Carolina is going to kill it this year.

I’m optimistic as well even though I’m a freddystan. Hopefully they’re both competitive enough to push each other to be great.

If you speak about their No. 1 Draft choice that was a classless attempt at humour.Wife beater no, teenager who made a big mistake.

All you've done is obsess about it because you know people are annoyed when you bring it up several times a day.

Playing innocent here is a bad look. You're being a troll, just admit it and move on to becoming something better on these boards.

You're so hard to like..

And that's the big difference, I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt for once by explaining the difference between an opinion and expressing things as fact... But ultimately he only goes back to these things to begin with because he has regularly been able to incite a riot with them.

That's the core issue...

When you say they allow an anti-vaxxer on the team, you're expressing that as fact not opinion. An opinion would be "I think he might be an anti-vaxxer because of...". Fact is "he's an anti-vaxxer". That's the difference.

When you regularly state things as fact that aren't fact, you drive people to point out that it's not fact... And you don't get to project yourself as a victim as a result. It doesn't work that way.

Why was Nylander not invited to Sweden’s summer camp?

Because he was unvaccinated. I’m sure he got the memo that everyone has to be vaccinated, but he chose not to. Why would he choose not to? It doesn’t matter.

Yost is really saying the Leafs failure is a playoff failure. His last dance is about the possibility they miss in the playoffs again. His point, I think, is that you can't win in the playoffs without a solid bottom six, six good Dmen and quality goaltending.

So, if it is a last dance and it does not work, how do you change the character of the team to be more playoff competitive?

Depth shcmepth. Haven't u heard? Dudes here sayin' our stars just need to be stars and we all good! We just need our 4/40M forwards to do....everything! It's all gonna be....."fine".

I may be in the minority here but I feel equating/comparing women beating to anti-vaxxing is in poor taste.

It’s very possible.

One of FLA/BOS/MTL has to miss for the Leafs to make the playoffs. And if they do make it, they’ll likely face one of those teams.

Some people have chosen not to because they want to become more educated first. Some have been advised not to or to wait by their doctors. There's plenty of reasoning why some haven't run out to get it first opportunity and none of them have to be cleared by you.

You're the first one to crawl into a ball and cry bullied and victim because someone doesn't see something your way, but you're the first one to write off anyone who hasn't been vaccinated as an "anti-vaxxer".

You can't have it both ways, you either respect peoples positons and can be cordial to differing stances, or you can't.

All I did today was state my opinion. If you can’t respectfully talk about it, then don’t respond.

You guys are doing what you always do, gang up on me and try to bully me, saying thing like “everyone hates me” lol..

Ps. If you “want to be more educated about it” then you’re still an anti-vaxxer. All the facts are out there at this point, so if you choose not to get it then you’re an anti-vaxxer.

It was about the organization’s willingness to acquire people with questionable character, not comparing the two and what they’ve done. If you don’t think Mailloux has character concerns, than I disagree with you.

I have already tried to explain to you how you expressed it as fact, not opinion. I see you've selected... Will blatantly ignore and still try to play victim as a result.

Literally no one has said anything to you of the like during this discussion.

This is the problem, you can't play by your own rules. I've expressed my disagreement, I've pointed out the problems with how you articulate yourself... And I've done so rather respectfully. You immediately respond by victimizing yourself and crying foul. That is not how adults discuss things or slightly close to how discourse works in general.

You are the definition of a snowflake. There, that is the peak in disrespect I'm willing to give you here, and I'm only doing as much because it's clearly fact.

PS., no... It doesn't. That is another opinion you have just projected as fact. Someone could have had vaccinations their entire lives, their hesitation to take this one does not instantaneously make them an "anti-vaxxer". It literally doesn't even rule out them taking the covid vaccine eventually...

At 17, you didn't do anything regrettable, I did. He paid a fine, apologized, time to move on from this. Well see if the Habs culture helps Him, I think it will.

Not at all poor taste or not at all in the minority?

I think it’s downplaying the situation to call it “regrettable”. I’ve done things I’ve regretted at 17, but no, nothing like that.

That’s not true at all, HOHO.

If I bring something up that people don’t like, I don’t do it to annoy anyone. You’re not going to bully me (although you guys try everyday) into agreeing with you on every point. Idk why this is so concerning to you and the other 4 posters who struggle with having a respectful, cordial discussion about almost anything.

It’s not my concern if you don't like me. You F5’s tell me everyday that “everyone” hates me. That’s pretty gross, just on a personal level. I don’t think I could speak to someone like that but whatever, you do you. I’m not a troll because I have different opinions, we don’t all have to agree on every single point.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Again, playing the victim.

There’s absolutely nothing cordial or respectful about accusing me of being someone else. For the (frank)ing last time I am not HOHO.

This has nothing to do about bullying you. This whole Nylander is an anti Vax rhetoric is simply unfounded and quite annoying to see you argue every single god damn day with other posters about.

I could give a (frank) if Willy is or isn’t. I don’t even like him on the team. But you purposely do this every day and then cry foul when people get tired of you beating the same dead horse.

Geez

You know I love you, AA.

But put up or shut up.

There isn’t a single source reporting this.

If it was true, Damien Cox would be all over it.

Put up or shut up.

For those keeping score at home I have 2 accounts. Both same profile pic. Neither account is HOHO.

It would be fantastic is we could stop trying to irritate each other on these boards. I get life is boring for some of us but find a hobby.

Mine are playing in an over 30 Mens hardball league, growing weed, and making hot sauces. That is a little window into who I am. Haha

I don’t cry foul about that.

There’s a reason he wasn’t invited to Sweden’s summer camp, and it was reported that it’s because he wasn’t vaccinated.

That’s all we know.

If it was Jones or Domi or some Hab you guys would be on and on about it. I think Nylander has character issues, I’ve thought that since he first came into the league. Babs has hinted that he’s hard to coach, and subsequently benched him for it. Then there’s the other stories about him not being a good teammate.
