    Sometimes, the blogs would be pretty decent. Meltzer comes to mind. Even Engels had his moments. The rest of them regurgitated stuff, were there to practice writing, or were just trolls.

    Not once do I ever recall going to Hockeybuzz for news or for an “insider” opinion. It was 100% about the forums.

    This hurts man. I tried very hard to regurgitate my trolling.

    I agree although the guy doing the Leafs blogs now is actually the best they’ve had. He seems to look for interesting takes on things. But I agree that the site is just just a mechanism for guys to get together and tell each other how stupid they are.

    Cool look at how a clip from a baseball telecast is put together.

    I think we are seeing the death of HockeyBuzz, or certainly the death of that site as we knew it. The new site looks more modern, but is actually worse in almost every way for the members. Casual visitors may like the new format better, but regular forum members who came for the commenting are going to be turned off by the new comment system. No quote posting (what is it with sites lacking that basic shit now?), no threading, no private messaging, and a bunch of social-media fluff like emoji reactions and like/dislike thumbs. It’s not good.

    And what’s with the poor customer service girl trying to hold people’s hands in the comments and post video tutorials on how to use the fluffy stupid features nobody asked for or wants? Is she still there? Bless her little heart. Have the wolves run her off or eaten her alive yet?

    Well, it might have seemed like updating HockeyBuzz would give HotStove something to worry about. I think it’s the opposite. Ek just did HotStove a huge favor.

    My two cents.

    I’m not sure Ek ever understood what made his site work. He seemed to believe that we were all drawn by all the roomers (E1’s to E5’s) or by the his insights and not that he just gave everyone a home to bitch or troll Leaf fans.

    Now, Now Mitch Marner is a big boy now!

    He has his big boy pants on and moved his family to Las Vegas because the big meanies in the media and the fanbase in Toronto was just so cruel and mean to him.

    He has always had the big ass stupid hat though.

    AA only thinks of children because the only one he’s ever touched is himself.

    Somehow someway both sites will end up merging.

    No chance. This will become a silo and echo chamber for the left wing lock until they also get bored and go back.
