i get annoyed when you guys write in the capitals thread bashing them. thats not fair at all. so basically what you are saying is that because your a pens fan and a mod, what u say pretty much goes?
Well, there's a difference between trolling and bashing. "Bashing" a team who has lost 8 straight is not trolling, it's pure fact. If people are trolling, and people actually have a problem with it, bring it to our attention. I'll say Dev is close, but just saying that you're happy about a team losing in ONE post is not trolling. Writing it numerous times, or every single day, etc, that gets closer. The tone and content is important too. Certain posters choose to ignore facts when they bash certain teams, so a certain thread was created for his specific fantasy views. In all of the recent posts Dev has made in the Caps or Flyers threads, he has done nothing but posts facts, then reasonable opinions about them, IMHO. It has nothing to do with what team I happen to be a fan of.There's also a difference between what Serge does and what other people might do, but he has an understanding with the mods. If he wasn't friends with all of us, he'd have just simply been banned from the forum years ago. So let's not talk about double standards, because there is one, but it benefits Serge.Biatch, I know you're a smart person, you can figure out what's going on here. With the way you post, it's always a coin flip between whether you're actually being serious or not. This is the last time I post about this. If there's legit trolling, the rest of the board will let me and Bob know and we'll take care of it appropriately. If you think I'm being a bad moderator, bring that up with Bob.

Posting a pic of a cookie monster with a certain number is stating facts i guess. FWIW I have found what Dev has been doing very annoying...I would be shot if i did that in the Pens thread..

Bashing a team who has lost 8 in a row isn't trolling. How is that fair? To post pictures making fun of Ovechkin, saying he isnt' great. Putting the stanley cup in a picture of washington so far away, an empty trunk. Laughing everytime they lose. We already know the team has lost 8 in a row, there is no need to rub it in our faces. If the Pens were to lose 8 in a row, I guarantee you would not allow me/Serge or anybody to write a single negative thing in your thread. Why? Because you would call that trolling. Even though that is a fact....

Well, I already addressed that, that was posted in the wrong thread, but the fact was that number represented Crosby's point streak. I agree with you it should have been in the Pens thread.

I'm done replying to you. If you think there's a problem with my moderating, take it up with my boss, Bob.

I understand how it is. Basically you and Dev can continue trashing teams in their threads and nothing will be done about it. It's fine tho, you don't need to worry about replying to me anymore. I'm done again with these boards. I thought things may have changed, but obviously not. I'll be posting my picks for the survivor hockey pool and that's it.

Everybody's point it valid.If the only time you post in a team's thread is to bash them and you do it numerous times that is trolling in the FCP hockey forum sense no matter how accurate your statements may be.We created a playoff bash anybody you want thread and that worked well. Maybe we need one for the regular season as well. Leave bashing to bashing threads and leave team discussion to the team threads.That doesn't mean negative discussion about a team shouldn't be in the team thread.For example saying "wow Ovechkin and Green really seem to be sucking on offense the last month" when discussing the Caps losing streak nobody should have a problem with.Coming into the Caps thread and saying "woohoo 8 in a row, I hope they keep it up" is annoying.

I agree with Bob.And Biatch, you're wrong if you're telling me I've been posting negative stuff in teams threads and trolling. I'll agree Dev has, but you should get your facts straight before accusing me. :club:

Geez. I'm sorry everyone is so sensitive. I don't post things intended to legitimately piss people off. I typically post facts (as Zach mentioned) and I try to do it in way that's semi-clever and is meant to get a laugh out of people. ivh1k2.gif - This was meant not only to note Crosby extended his streak but because he beat "The monster" to do it. I'll admit a mistake in posting it in the leafs thread but I'm sure it would have gotten just as much of a reaction from serge if I posted it in the Pens thread.Ungreat 2330712020_773fb54648_b.jpg - I should have put more into this post but basically all I did was put a picture into a direct quote from the announcer at the end of the caps 8th loss in the row. I guess you forget that I posted the below a few days earlier...

I think it's likely that this team is going to be better in the long run because of this losing streak but I'm still going to try to enjoy every second of it.
So bottom line is that I guess I'll cool it a bit but I really feel like we're a little too sensitive around here. Sports are great because of this back and forth and if it's too bad that some people around here aren't mature enough to handle it.

I honestly have NO PROBLEM with these posts..I am mature enough, however the double standard is what I was bitching about..The Ottawa Biatch backed me and we had some agreement from up above..Now we have another new thread that lives on because of you my good friend..You are a trailblazer and not the one from Golden State.

Still tho, Sergeo, you shouldn't mention double standard around here...
True dat monsieur Zachary..I wont use that term...Back to thread...The Flyers had a bad game today, but still are Stanley Cup contenders..They will miss Pronger for the next 6 weeks though..Will they look for a goalie..Or is BOB the guy they go with.

What's Philly's cap situation like and do they have any players who they can Finger to the minors to make room if they need to.
Why would they want to make room?I think this team is as stacked and as weakness free as any in the NHL.Unless you really think they're gonna go after Vokoun. Which Im not so sure they need/want.

I agree, they are really deep, and pretty much stacked everywhere.Goaltending was the real pre-season weakness, but Bobrovsky has surprised, and they seem to remain confident enough in Leighton/Boucher.

You can never too stacked, was just wondering if they had any obvious deadwood which they don't seem to.
