I used to think it was ok when it was not part of internet jargon but now I wish it would die. The same goes with the word "fail".

yeah seriously and when i hear people say those words i just think they are fag

Alright, dippoop, let's have some fun.

First of all, I think it's adorable that you think being able to create an alt account is in any way reflective of your intelligence, rather than what truly represents, which is access to an extra phone line. Bravo, dippy, bravo. Maybe at whatever trade school you failed out of, this constitutes a staggering intellectual feat, but to those of us capable of breathing through our noses, it just means you can probably be trusted to eat with utensils. Probably. Oh, and incidentally, the reason I don't create alt accounts is because I don't have to - people offer them to me.
Next, I am utterly, uttlerly astounded that you fail to grasp the irony of you accusing anyone of making repetitive or lame posts, when you are the undisputed king of either. You literally have three replies: 1.) 'that was lame'; 2.) 'that was too long, so I didn't bother reading it'; 3.) taking whatever someone just wrote and saying it back to them. And all three replies are indicative of not only a remarkable lack of intelligence, which comes a surprise to no one, but also to a pathetic level of delusion on your part, because I know that you genuinely think you've managed to hide this overwhelming handicap from us. With that in mind, it's only logical that you'd turn into a rat as a means of further trying to escape the very narrow limits of your, and I use this term charitably, "brain."
The thing is, Shirley, we all know what you are - a bloated, suburban homophobe who sits around drinking Canadian and listening to poop music like Big Wreck with your troglodyte suburban friends, contemplating new ways of frosting your tips and popping your collars in a desperate and futile attempt to derive some kind of meaning to your utterly pointless existence. Quite literally, if you died tomorrow, not only would the world keep right on spinning, it would actually be a better place, because there'd be one less fat, white-bread, sack of human poop wasting our otherwise precious resources.
You should've been a blowjob or an abortion. Now feel free to go cry to EO, or spew one of delightfully predictable and delusional non-comebacks, because everyone on this site knows that you waved your white flag of retard surrender and forever made yourself my female dog the second you decided to rat me out like the unintelligent coward you are.

my favourite was the roundabout way he called him a mouth-breather.

that is quickly becoming one of my favourite insults now that the "douche" family of insults is becoming overused.

and btw, did anyone else note the irony of the people hating the word epic posting in the epic posts string?

Touché

I have been working on the UFA Rumour Chart all morning (To launch this weekend) when a friend from Montreal called and asked me... "Wow, has there ever been a more perfect example of two 'teams of destiny' meeting than the Canadiens and the Flyers?"

I honestly can't recall. The only other series I have cover where two so unlikely teams found themselves playing each other was the Carolina/Edmonton Cup Final. I should probably ask Peter Laviolette this question. He is the common denominator in the two series. I have been critical of some of Laviolette's in game line management, but the timeout he called yesterday...well that was the stuff of hockey legend.

About an hour ago I got a text from another friend saying, "Fate really is on the Flyers side."

So it got me thinking.. The 2009-2010 Canadiens and the 2009-2010 Flyers...

Are either of them a "Team of Destiny?" or a "Team of Fate?"

So I looked up both words...and the dictionary pretty much has the two words as synonymous, but to me they really have very different meanings...

Then I found these two definitions....

Fate: The preordained course of your life that will occur because of or in spite of your actions.

Destiny: A set of predetermined events within your life that you take an active course in shaping.

So in other words, when we speak of Destiny we talk about something we control more..."You make your own destiny" where when we speak of Fate...well fate is fate. You can't change it.

I am suddenly reminded of every history class I ever took and the Puritans who believed in predestination: the belief everything big and small is written in a book and all we are doing is playing out the play.

While I do believe in life everything does indeed happen for a reason, I don't believe in predestination. There is a fine line there. I simply want to believe I have more control of my destiny.

So enough Philosophy.

Let's look at these two teams. The Montreal Canadiens to me are a team of Destiny. You can't really give fate too much credit when you draw Ovechkin's President Trophy Winning Capitals, and Crosby's defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins and defeat both on the road in 7 games. You can't say "fate was smiling on you" when you have to beat the Pens without Markov.

The Canadiens have taken whatever was in front of them and found a way to beat it. You can no longer call Jaroslav Halak "a flash in the pan." His save % has been over 930 for months now.

The Habs stars have been their stars. The players they have acquired have done all you would have ever expected of them and Halak's play has allowed the team to be outshot 2-1 night in and night out.

The Flyers on the other hand feel like a Team of Fate. The Flyers made the playoffs on a shootout, drew a first round opponent they dominated all year, and then in round 2 got Michael Leighton back just in time. Every time the Flyers look to be out of it..they suddenly aren't. something happens, and they are alive again.

Last night's come victory, battling back from 3-0 in the seventh game of a series they battled back from 3-0 in was the stuff Hollywood Movies are made of. Almost felt scripted.

Calling the Flyers a "Team of Fate" is not meant to diminish anything freom how much work they have put into this amazing run. They are a different team than they were all season. They are working very hard and feel like they can't lose.

More fate?

The Flyers became a better defensive team when fate dealt them the blow of having to go through so many goalies. Ville Leino was inserted into the line-up only when other players were injured. Michael Leighton was picked up on waivers because Emery was hurt. The rise of Briere and Giroux had much to do with the extra ice-time the were given when Jeff Carter went down. Claude had a less than stellar year due to a lessened role as a third line center behind Richards and Carter.

So what wins?

Destiny or Fate?

You could argue either side.

You could say Montreal is the best at adjusting in any way they have to and it they could beat Pitt and Wash, they can surely beat the 7th seed. The Canadiens are perhaps the best counter attack team we have ever seen. The harder you play against them, the more you play right into their trap. Halak is the ultimate "Player of Destiny" and the team with the best goalie wins...

You could say the Flyers are not an attack team like the Pens or Caps. Theyare more of a balanced counter-attack team, similar to the Canadiens, and it will be very interesting to see how the Habs deal with a team that won't fire 50 shots a game on them but also has far better defensive defensemen than Wash or Pitt.

You could say the Habs beating the Penguins, who dominated the Flyers this year and knocked them out of the last two playoff, is just another example of fate shining on the Flyers...

But you could also say that No one wants to play the Canadiens right now.

What say you?

Agreed on tanking, and yes nuts to the everything significant is related to Ovechkin versus Crosby.

I would suggest that the issue is really hero worship that materializes in North American pro sports in rediculous contracts for a very few versus their teammates. But this is just a pet topic of mine....

I would love to know what your point regarding Domenic Moore is? Are you critisizing the Leafs for moving him for a 2nd?

It would seem that Domenic thought he was worth 2-3M per year - which no team was prepared to give him. What is the likely reason for that... he had what 30 good games with Leafs during one particular season... and then he seems (general consensus) stunk it up in Buffalo during the playoffs. The history is this. Then signed for much less than his 2-3M per year expectation - long after the hot FA period with Florida. From which I beleive he was traded again to the Habs for a 2nd.

If I'm reading you right your are critisizing BB for not resigning him. In BB's shoes I would have moved him and I would have moved him for less than the 2nd in a heartbeat. Clearly - much of the season in Florida yeilded the same result. The fact that he's having an over-achieveing (relative to his play typically) playoff is not a condemnation of BB's decision - in fact the two have nothing to do with one another. The only judgement you can make about Moore relative to the Leafs would be whether you believe having him on the roster this past season would have made the Leafs a better team at between 2-3M dollars. I think not.

This is what I really hate about Leaf "fans". They make completely disconnected arguments. Here's one for ya....

Larry Murphy won the cup after he left the Leafs. Yes he did. That's a fact. Larry Murphy didn't help make the Leafs a better team and approach winning a cup while in Toronto (WHICH IS ALSO A FACT), despite getting tons of playing time and doing precious little with it.

Please critisize trades like the Kurvers for Neidermeyer deal all you want - where there was a direct and obviously negative outcome. But don't throw s__t out about moving a player out who either has rediculous contract demands or is otherwise problematic. Trading Domenic Moore for a 2nd was an excellent outcome for the Leafs, they weren't going to resign him for the money he wanted - so in essence that got a 2nd for not having his playing time for the last 20 games of the season - nothing more. The fact he's in the playoffs at all is coincidental... and has no connection to the Leafs.

If you are inferring that Montreal was brilliant for acquiring for a 2nd (or whatever) from Florida - that's fine - how does that have any barring on the deal BB made to move him to Buffalo. If Montreal (and every other club) really thought that much of Moore - they could have signed him for much less last summer or at least so the FACTS would indicate. If you are inferring that Montreal's management approach to the season is 'brilliant" because they are having a great run right now... fine that's an opinion thing. If they are "that" brilliant - why didn't they annoint and recognize Halak sooner - and put him clearly ahead of Price - which as recently as November I believe - they seemed reluctant to do.

For me the jury is still out on the Kessel deal... but its done. All we can do is watch and wait. I genuinely hope the deal with Boston works out well for both teams - not a win-lose scenario - rather a win-win. But we won't know for at least another 2-3 years.

In short - critisize management (BB and Nonis) all you like for what they do or have done... but put at least 10 seconds of thought into what you are saying please.

Case in point. I think (just my opinion) that signing Komisarek to a 4.5M+ CAP hit contract was a mistake - because of it being too much for him. More significantly I think it was a poor choice for the Leafs to make - because having Komisarek effects Schenn in a negative way - not because Komisarek is a poor player. Trading Komisarek (as a hypothetical) him - if that's in the cards - would be good idea - and not because of his play because it would free up CAP space that could be better allocated to the forward position.

Its time to look at trades and possible moves not only from a "look what Larry Murphy did after he left toronto perspective".

I also love how he brags about the Leafs getting a 2nd round pick for Dominic Moore, than contracts himself later saying it's the Panthers who did it.
