You Suffer (But Why?)

So does that mean those of us who still check in here are squatters?

.

The current state of this forum makes me think of what life would be like if there were a massive global reduction in population density

So what happens if we don't log out?

nvm

LOL, what's up with this? Are people squatting on this site until they kick everyone out?

I don't comment in general anymore and haven't said anything re: the forum shutdown. But that's because the transition to the new forum has been practically seamless with most of the regulars having made the migration. And with pretty much everyone there already, there wasn't need to say "goodbye". We're not losing anything with this forum; I can't remember who posted it on the new forum, but someone pointed out that it's WE, the membership, that make the actual forum community, and now we have our new home, one without the onerous landlords. IMO, there's no need to campaign to save this place. This is just an (internet) address that will be vacant/demolished soon. The community and its spirit lives on in it's new home.

Maybe they have a secret identity

That's going waaaaaaay too far, even as hyperbole

What? I thought Petan only drew into the lineup because Hogs was on IR.

Is there a rule in Toronto that UFAs must be shorter than Dubas or something?

Won't help. The Caps had a pretty good goalie coach--almost parallel to Sanford, in that he was the student of Mitch Korn. Much of Samsonov's problems are in-between the ears and I don't think he's coachable. The Caps gave him every opportunity to become their #1 and he didn't take it. Hell, I even recall once the Caps radio PxP guy ripped into his lack of focus and desire in the middle of a game after one of his many dismal performances. Seriously, Samsonov is total garbage and not an NHL goalie. And I'm ecstatic that he now plays for the Leafs.

LOL, I actually found that article online. The writer clearly doesn't have a clue who Ilya Samsonov is because that was his basis for declaring the Leafs a "winner" in free agency. According to him, the Murray/Samsonov tandem will be better than Campbell/Mrazek. He's in for a cruel dose of reality when he actually sees Samsonov in a game. As for why the Canucks were "losers": guy only said the Canucks didn't move Miller and in his opinion, the Canucks roster is not a playoff team. So yeah, this guy doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

The only reason BC had wired internet during that outage is because the infrastructure wasn't Rogers's, it was Shaw and Telus. Pretty much everywhere else in country, people were offline completely. No way they should let this merger go through

Poor Stech

That's a lot to spend on a bottom pair dman

As bad as Samsonov is, he's still probably better than Murray

He's from South Jersey, which is Flyers territory. And I've heard he grew up as a Flyers fan

If Fletch signs Gaudreau to a massive contract, Fletch and Dave Scott are likely gonna need police protection

My peeps in Philly are absolutely freaking out at the possibility of Fletcher pursuing Gaudreau, because it's "something so stupid, only Fletch would do it" as one of them put it.

He's not a reclamation project I'd recommend. He's kinda like a fancy house built on a poor foundation: On one hand, he's very athletic and has the physical ability to make an unbelievable save; OTOH, his fundamentals are so poor that he consistently and regularly gives up really weak goals, sometimes from distance. His work ethic isn't outstanding either--I'd heard that his ex-partner Vanacek frequently put in extra time while Samsonov did not. Buyer beware for any team that signs him.
