  1. I’m not overthinking or upset. I’m discussing metal in the metal thread. If you can’t handle someone not kowtowing to your opinion when you reply to their posts, you probably shouldn’t do it.
  2. Last I checked they’re playing metal music in a metal band. That makes them metal. I’ve seen them live and the guy had probably the most technically proficient unclean vocals I’ve heard in a live setting. Because you don’t care for the timbre of his voice doesn’t mean it isn’t “real” metal. That concept is promoted by people who base their entire identity on being a metal head and need to project how tough they are because of the music they listen to. Same goes for people who say something isn’t “real” Hip-Hop, Country, etc, because they have an incredibly warped sense of authenticity. It’s embarrassing and the gatekeeping over how br00tal you can sound is a massive part of the reason metal isn’t really seen as a serious genre. Bruce Dickinson and Dave Mustaine have unfathomably whiny singing voices. Are you going to tell me Iron Maiden and Megadeth aren’t real metal?
  3. oh god you’re a “that’s not real metal” guy. Yeah I can totally see teenagers flossing along to Viscera right next to Ed Sheeran and Billie Eyelash because the vocalist doesn’t gag on every last syllable.
  4. Damn that’s one of the cringiest takes I’ve heard in awhile.
  5. Back when the team was wearing the original navy orca, everybody was clamouring for the blue and green stick to come back. The skate was an afterthought. Now that we're back in blue and green, people want the skate. Its just nostalgia for what currently isn't being worn, and the Canucks don't need to trade in their unique and fitting colour scheme to look like team Germany knock-offs because they're the flavour of the month.
  6. Obviously. They deserve it too. I recall watching Kucherov and Vasilevskiy storm a wall and garrote a bunch of Ukrainians themselves. The Russian army didn't even know what was going on, they just came out of nowhere clad in nothing but warpaint screaming about the Blue Jackets.
  7. It honestly feels like Chicago is trying to be a tire fire at this point. Its as if they looked at the Coyotes or Sabres and said "Hold my beer."
  8. The ellipses is used to denote lost text. Not a "thoughtful pause", unless we're ignoring the actual use of written language like when we say "literally" to mean the complete opposite of what literally means. I'm not going to bother with the rest of your worthless post because you completely missed what was being said, I was not the one who started that, but you feel like you need to live up to your name and join in.
  9. Conversations that happen inside your head aren't relevant.
  10. Yes. That is exactly the point. Glad we're in agreement.
  11. Somebody who uses words without understanding their definition, or even punctuation like the ellipses should not be telling anyone they have poor reading comprehension.
  12. Yup, this roster is ready to compete NOW. We're cup contenders, which is why our goaltending cannot be touched, and if the Rangers call up and offer Shesterkin at 50% retained, Lundkvist, Schneider, Lafreniere and their next 8 firsts for Thatcher and Poolman you hang up on them because its not worth it, we need Demko NOW.
  13. Literally? Not figuratively or metaphorically? They're not "literally" untouchable then.
  14. Yeah but there’s a difference between “untouchable” and “value so high nobody in their right mind would pay up for it”. Which is the difference. When you say “Untouchable” it implies you simply won’t listen to any offers, even if the GM calling you isn’t actually in his right mind.
  15. I like the sentiment but there’s still no such thing as an untouchable in my opinion. Obviously Hughes and Demko are shaping up to be pillars of the organization, but even then if somebody comes along with an absolutely stupid offer, you have to listen.
  16. Well I’m happy. I’m not a huge Niners fan but beyond that I’m okay with whoever takes the Super Bowl. Just super thankful I don’t have to tolerate Mahomes insufferable family there.
  17. That Maiden inspired riff in the bridge is mint.
