[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks

Deal bout as real as a three dollar bill? -
This required a "report"?!?! ...seemed pretty obvious to anyone who pays attention to NHL hockey. [Report] The Clouds Impeded the Sun for a Portion of the Day, Sun Still Set to Rise Again Tomorrow

SHAW ROGERS SPORTSNET AQUAMAN WHOEVER

I feel like this is a PEBKAC error. -
Is anyone really playing? ...it's the "just don't get hurt" game. It's like a hungover pancake breakfast.

How on earth could a single person represent an entire fan base in a supportive manner? It's not realistic or even logical. Just look at the arguments here. At the very best, it would be a representation of a small subset, and that's on a single topic. The same group(s) aren't going to agree on all different topics. And then what, does it turn into a government-style election with different parties campaigning their choice for an individual? Where does the money come from? And when does the representative start siding with the franchise to get kickbacks? Or making a decision to hold onto their seat?

Plan the parades!!! Yup, one for both teams.

Are we still in 2022??? Honestly I have questioned if it's 2023 myself, multiple times already.

Nice that you have your opinion. My son gets my unconditional love, and is one of the most amazing humans I have ever met (yes I am biased, but you seem even moreso in the opposite direction). He literally goes out of his way to help others, because he also understands when people are at their lows, unnfortunately having had to go through having a teammate, and close friend, take their own life at the age of 11. Unconditional support does not mean being "an enabler". I have been, and know many alcoholics and people struggling with depression. I certainly support them and am thankful to have had others' unconditional support, no matter what they/I do. Doesn't mean I'm handing them a drink (enabling). I would/do genuinely hate to see a parent not providing their child with that level of support. And I feel bad for those getting what you seem to be describing as "support". Political leaders or cults, as you reference, are clearly not providing positive unconditional support. Again, it seems (dupe) that it's making excuses to not support. You seem to be taking the "extreme" stance of if someone is unconditionally supporting, they are somehow enabling them to make the wrong decisions. It's supporting when it's, whether they make the right or wrong decision, not helping them make the wrong decision. I also feel bad that you are in a position to feel that nothing in life deserves unconditional support. Maybe you could use some unconditional support?

Interesting take when the sentence literally right before is to a lesser level, and I describe your quoted sentence as extreme, but ok. Likewise.
-
You seem to be trying to drop two big names separately, but happened in the same, if not only, single blockbuster trade of the (off)season at a point when the Flames were not even possibly losing, but definitely losing their two top players with the season over... And perhaps the "poker player" analogy is reasonable...but that makes a minimum of 30 other teams a failure as well? Because they didn't make a blockbuster trade in a cap-strapped era while not losing their top two scorers?
-
What better options were available with the cap space? ...and with what teams that had cap space to take Canucks players? I do admit, Miller could've, and maybe should've been moved. But for what return? What were the offers? Would the rabid fans be happier with a bag of fringe NHL players that end up being bottom six forwards or bottom pair defence at best? Would they all be bitching about how a 99-point power forward (which doesn't grow on trees) was shipped off for mediocre NHL players? It's easy to look at what might have been the best outcome. But no one seems to acknowledge that some of the best players might have been moved for nothing of impact, putting us in an even worse situation.
-
Ask Francesco? Or maybe you'd like to book their schedule? I will admit, it would be interesting to have them release, and be able to see their legit schedule.
-
I disagree, and don't believe I'm missing the point at all. I believe your comment "I'm missing the point" on the subject is exactly what I'm staying. Just as much as people are saying it's making excuses that they are not doing their job, I think the comment is making excuses to be unsupportive. Someone can say they are supporting while showing negative behaviour, analogous to someone being abusive by belittling another to somehow get them to improve. Or more extreme, beat someone up to make them tougher. Sadly, I'm not even surprised anymore when some describe "support" as just showing up, if not less.
-
I always imagine the positive effects of what would happen if the players and team received (at least some level of) unconditional support from across the entire fan base. Kind of like what has shown to be very effective in addiction or mental health situations. Alas, our toxic fan base and media will never let that happen, as many seem to feel the need to break others down to build themselves up.
-
Could it be they were busy actually trying to do their real jobs, and improve the team in an extremely difficult flat cap environment across the league instead of catering to a bunch of whiny bitching fans? I don't know if the former is true, but the latter has some merit.
