No idea how that happened, it’s a mystery. One of life's greatest mysteries really. When did I call anyone stupid? I'm just looking at some old takes gone wrong... sorry for having a discussion on a discussion forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this isn't incessant trolling, I don't know what is. Mods ain't gonna do anything though cus I'm the villain here. Maybe pick a different username if you don't want people commenting on it? From what I've seen in this thread recently, there's been no real harrasment at all and you seem to be very keen on playing the victim here. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to believe we would rebound, when JB was hired as the new GM in 2014 when he said in a press conference "This is a team we can turn around in a hurry" - It is now 2023 in days getting the same results(How can anyone defend him, when he said that)? He had a good kick at the can (at least 2 years too long for my liking) Eventually I came to believe JB could not build a team, He would max out our cap on signing bottom 6 forwards, when strong teams build from the goalie out When he got EP, He was then eventually building another Leafs Oilers team with forwards He kept changing direction then traded some of those mistakes for a Dman that plays the same side of Hughes on a long term deal because he hadn't been building from the D out and when given the opportunity of a 50% chance on OEL he was like a fat kid in a candy store and blew all his money again, when he only has Boston if he was that desperate (maybe he wanted to do Boston a favour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at 2.5 or so a week ago so they must have adjusted. Demko is at -6.7 mil in value on those cards too and signed for nearly as long. What does it mean? Nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't these "grown men" got anything better to do? I guess not in some cases... Though 65k posts on a hockey forum... not sure if I should feel impressed or sorry for him.

Had injury issues the last couple seasons but he’s earning his contract right now. Karlsson is the exception, not the rule. Also, why are you comparing OEL to Karlsson? Karlsson's a generational talent. OEL is not even close. If you think OEL is going to trend upwards... can't wait to bring this thread up 3-4 years from now. Hopefully you'll be a Canucks fan by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct. But to give some context, I picked this username in 2006 - dude wasn't even drafted yet. Alf has been harassing me for a while about my username calling me a Leafs fan etc (see snippets below). Unless I had a time machine, how the hell would I know John Tavares would be a Leaf? lol Mods have turned a blind eye over this incessant trolling but gives me a 'friendly' warning. Tell me how this makes sense? I'm just trying to talk hockey and this guy literally harasses me about my username. Yet I'm the troll and he's not?

So give the same energy to other people. You can copy and paste this exact comment to Alf. No? It's not bothering me at all, I just don't understand his obsession with my username. I guess the dude has nothing else to do. 65k points since 2015.. I think CDC is basically his life at this point. Good for him I guess... guess there's nothing to do at the Senior Home.

The crowd then gaslights the victim and makes them the villain. EDIT: I'm just here to talk hockey so I'm not going to continue about the username discussion. If Alf wants to keep harassing me about it, then good for him. He can add to his 65k post count. Mods won't do anything and that's fine.

It really isn't that hard to connect the dots there especially as someone who has been calling others blind/stupid/delusional. Maybe you should spend some more time working on comprehension skills and less time talking down to and making fun of people and patting yourself on the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to bump this post in 3/4 years when OEL is bought out or scratched. If you don't think you OEL is part of the problem, I want whatever you're having and double it. Then I can say 'I told you so' again! Edited December 22, 2022 by JohnTavares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
