Instead of believing credible and consistently accurate sources, bringing trolls onto the board and giving them a voice through the most credible and respected posters here is not ideal. Just saying, and I will say it again, I expected better of you. I look forward to every post you make and the time you spend on this board is amazing - you contribute to one of the best hockey forums in existence. Please help keep it that way. This is rich. Complete projection. If only most of us posters could say the same thing about looking forward to your posts on here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this, and since it's coming from our most reliable and respected poster, I assumed it to be vetted and true. Then I read further into the thread and saw that this is made up and lies. Thank Goodness!!!! You go me good on this one @-Vintage Canuck- My heart hasn't raced that fast in a long time. Kind of a cool feeling!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered something from the news to give insight to a player (e.g. having some illness and still having a great tournament) and you re-post some malicious lie of the worst nature. Ya, totally comparable. Justify all you want, nothing more from me on this. You know full well what you did was across a line. I dunno, Rob. You do offer some good opinions and insight on many occasions. But you got realize that your credibility will be questioned (not only for the Juolevi flu post)...I usually take your posts with a grain of salt...but questioning Vintage Canucks motives...who in my mind is the backbone of these forums...is kinda laughable. I mean here you are presenting yourself as "Rob Zepp", a guy that used to play pro, and now posts here hundreds of times a month because you just happen to be following Canuck prospects so closely (even though the Canucks are not your favorite team if I recall correctly?). Not only that, you chum around with scouts, and watch games involving our prospects in the middle of the night with multiple scouts . I think I know who to believe more... 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are past the whole "Olli has a gaming addiction that will ruin his career", which was laughably completely inane in the first place, perhaps we can make speculation about who this player? I'm thinking it's Tanner Glass. He got cut from the WJC team. Glass does fit the original report too, right? He does play junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Honestly wish Marek had never shared that story to begin with because this is exactly what I thought would happen. Even without definite confirmation of who the subject of the report was, discussions about Juolevi on CDC and abroad have gone from reasonably healthy debates about his playing abilities and development to an excessive microanalysis of details of his personal life. Add the fact that people's opinions about Juolevi are already quite divided and you get a bunch of childish bickering about everything from Juolevi's gaming habits to who is a credible news source. I'm not going to bother reading this thread again for a long time because there's nothing useful to be gained from it. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying reading fake crap on prospects to your heart's content! Hey Rob! Please don't quit contributing because of these posters. I have had most of them on "Ignore" for a long time because they clutter up the good info with their inanities. The only "complaint" I would have with your content is your willingness to quote them and argue/discuss with them. It is good to see them put in their place but they don't learn and the mods don't seem to be interested in rooting them out. And when they get a stupid idea (like you didn't "prove" that Juolevi had the flu or some other illness that it discredits you in any way), they just keep bashing away at it. So keep up the good work and please don't quote and feed these types; it's not worth it and they don't deserve the exposure. (Obviously not talking about Vintage here; he has great content and it is weird to see you two sparring a bit there.) By the way, I liked your ideas of UFA defensemen we could use, I just don't know enough to make a comment of any value. That RHD sure sounded like he would be ideal for the Canucks at this time and at that price point. Personally, I can't wait to see Juolevi and all our prospects back in Beautiful BC so we can get new, local information. Only a few more weeks 'til the draft too so hopefully more solid content is not far off as that heats up. 2 thumbs up from me, Bud; keep up the good work and reports from a pro's perspective. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's stating that it isn't Joulevi, so the piranhas will keep searching the hockey data bases until they can finds another 'likely subject'.

DeNiro Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Can we not just agree that posting bogus sources is bad no matter who's posting them? If everyone just sticks to the rules of the forum we'll all be better off. No need to feed the piranhas, let them starve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
