You missed out...this place was the bees knees back in like 2008-2012 days
- TPC

i remember those days. i joined one day during my summer internship in nyc - can't even remember what drove me to the site.

those days were wild

ps - inject this tom hate right into my veins 24/7/365 plz

Oh didn't even notice

How did you guys just lurk and not join?
- TPC

Because I wasn't crazy enough yet. Clearly not an issue anymore.

I think what bothers us most about Tom, is he can be funny, is pretty intelligent when it comes to hockey, can argue his point of view in a way that makes you think, but then for no reason at all, decides to troll the blog and and provide nothing to it. I don't get it. Its like a cry for attention.

We gotta put him in “Bogey Land”. We did this at work with a guy. No one talks to him, answers his questions, just make believe he’s not there, etc

It would work but not everyone will ignore him unfortunately

I have no idea why it’s called Bogey Land either btw haha none of them are golfers

you were probably right
- jimbro83

Well I was wrong about my whole view of him. I really disliked him at the time and thought he was pretty worthless. Its why I like this place because if someone can point things out that you might be missing about a certain player it can change an opinion.

I hated Stepan because of his slump, but you pointed out how he was still really good defensively and a very smart player. So I started to watch that side of his game and it definitely changed my opinion.

I always hated him cause no one should just lose all their hair and go bald from age 24 to 25

That's (frank)ed up.

I do remember not recognizing your user name when you started...I think I kind of hated you to, especially when you went at it with Jimbo

Yeah I got that vibe. I would post something quoting you and you wouldn't even respond.

three guys in my history on here I vehemently defended have been Dubinsky, Girardi and Stepan

I really dont recall too many other players where I defended them anywhere close to like I defended these three guys

Girardi I always defended. I would go at it with Tanner like crazy until I realized it was useless

- TPC

The worst part was it was at game time and it would be like 5-6 of us on here. I was like man, this TPC dude is a real (frank)ing douche.

this particular blog, this group, almost every one of us were big Dan Girardi guys

NYR twitter world had lots of Girardi hate

I pretty much only ever defended one

I don't think you guys remember how excited it was in here when they signed him straight for the playoffs

I'm with you on G. He didn't everything he was asked of, did it exceptionally well, and when he started to regress, the fanbase acted like he had never done anything well.

that was great and he had two GWG's in that opening round series vs Ottawa

What was worse rangers twitter? Hate for Girardi or when people said we should have kept Talbot and traded Hank.

I think part of it is, newer member you are never sure if they are an alt account. And watching you just go at it right away with Jimbo I was like yea he won't last here

lets rebuild and make the priority bringing in young fast players

oh by the way here's Milan Lucic to raise the speed level a notch
- jimbro83

I think BUF and EDM are the targets. Both teams have had a ton of picks, BUF has drafted 6 years in a row 8th or better. DET at 6 is going through a rebuild themselves as are the Kings. The reason I stay away from COL at 4 is bc it will cost significantly more than let’s say 8/9 and depending on who you ask the person getting drafted 4th could go 7th and the person going 7th could go 4th, there’s no clear cut order after 1-2.

You must think I'm an idiot. Which is fine. But we don't agree on much, and we always agreed the Staal trade was horrendous. I know what you are doing. Let me know when your back to normal.

could be a loooooooong wait

I like Buffalo as a target
