Someone has to martyr Vantel and the injustices he faced.
- Marwood


That’s another thing I don’t understand. Someone mentioned, either RC or Lefty, that a few old timers left because of Vantel. Not sure if true but I do remember a lot of animosity years ago a Vantel being in the middle of it.

So why quit when the tables turn?

I also mentioned it.

Vantel has been really hateful to a pile of people over the years, just doesn't like getting called out on it.

Sorry, couldn’t remember who said it.

The ‘Vantel free zone’ was created for a reason... twice. That must tell him that some long time posters accused him of the same “atrocities” that he’s accused others of doing.

The fact that he asked EK to delete his account (twice as Booner mentioned) is weak. Could have just walked away and stopped posting. Again, it appears some are fishing for sympathy.

a few old timers jumped in over the weekend. i think it's just a matter of being excited about hockey coming back. when the interest is high, you'll see more of the regulars posting. high interest generally happens when the team is winning. or now that we're back after a big break.

it would be hilarious if the team started crushing it and went on a huge roll.

the board would be jumping and we could say that "the board livened up because vantel and booner left." #narratives

This!
Puckshack was one example of many. Vantel was cruel & ruthless with many posters past and present. Crying that we chased away Minivan was one of his finest moments.

my guess would be that it was in a long email explaining why he wanted it deleted.

a + email. i would bet dollars to donuts that the email mentioned the financial impact of the situation.

Clearly, but I think sticking with hockey and calling out the BS will be enough to get him back in there.

Yup, he's starting to unravel a bit.
Why can't some of these posters accept a counter argument without naming calling & yelling 'narrative'? A number of people don't agree with buddy's take and explain why and it spirals into I'm a victim don't try and chase me away.
Anyway, it is great to have actual hockey to talk about and still enjoy the summer of the pandemic. I think I'm going to enjoy a lemonade & bourbon this afternoon and toast all of the victims of HockeyBuzz.

I'm not a garnish guy but I do like adding some homemade blueberry or strawberry syrup. In a big tumbler filled with ice best enjoyed with a jazz cigarette by the woodpile.

remember to have some sombre piano music playing as you read the long list of fallen comrades; those who fought valiantly but didn't survive the ravages of war.

There will be an unveiling of a statue in memory of those, at the picnic next summer. Don't forget that the tickets for viewing the full contact croquet sell out quickly.

I think we can find 2 more martyrs by next summer. Confidence is running high.

It's no longer a picnic. It's been upgraded to a weekend: The Annual BoonTel Festival. Register early to get the commemorative t-shirt.
