The fact is, he should not even be on the ice, just like he shouldn’t have been on the ice after knocking Knies out of the series. Those were not just clean, hard-nosed bodychecks. – Aeth
True. Bennett should still be serving a suspension for his blatant attempt to injure on Hagel in the first round.
Marchand should have been banned from the league years ago for countless flagrant attempts to injure.
Fact is, the NHL allows this shit and tacitly condones it when they refuse to punish for it. In any other realm of life, these are assaults that would result in criminal charges. They have nothing to do with playing the game. It’s about cheating to injure the other team’s players and remove them from the lineup.
Leafs fucked up by not murdering Bennett right afterwards. Bennett should still be recovering from the beatdown and going through rehab to get back on the ice sometime next season after he relearns to walk, eat, and talk again.
But it is what it is and Leafs fans just know to live with it. We have no choice.
I make the assumption that they will continue to work on this site. I have some concerns about HB. I was never banned or anything but you would see other people being banned for absurd times, no answers, no responses and no communication from the people in charge. When MiB left, I tried to communicate with just about anyone there – and mostly I found people who had already left. It doesn’t feel like it’s got a lot of runway left.
I think at some point HB is just going to be AA and Joel hate posting at each other every 6 minutes with Strider popping in every 13 days to say something insanely conspiratorial; it’ll be like a Sartre play without any existential crisis. – MonkeyPunk
Dozzer inadvertently confirmed something about HB that I had long suspected : the moderation system is completely on the fly and the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. There is no moderator-only forum on HB, according to Dozzer. I don’t recall his exact words, but it left the impression that there used to be a mod-only forum, but there no longer is. On other large busy forums, moderation decisions are discussed and often voted on in private between the mods and admins only. Decisions to lock a thread or delete a post might be made unilaterally, but any decision to ban somebody usually required a discussion and consensus unless it was a blatant porn spammer or something like that.
Worse, Ek won’t respond to emails, private messages, or social media tags. Contacting Ek is kinda like praying – you never know if he’s actually listening or not, and then usually nothing happens anyway.
That’s not a good way to run things and it makes things difficult on the mods like Dozzer who are trying in good faith to keep things going smoothly, but their hands are tied by wonky outdated software and a site admin who is AWOL when you need him.
Mike and Bill seem like they have ducks lined up in a neat row compared to HB. I have hope this site will continue to improve with new features because it’s built on an actively-supported codebase and not some ancient stack written on clay tablets.
There’s a couple more HB posters I would like to see over here, but there’s probably 100 or more I am happy never to see again. I’m glad you’re here Monkey.
I got the best seats in the house. Laptop hooked up to the big screen TV, ready to pipe in a HD stream of the game.
No traffic. No parking headaches. No drunk assholes (except myself). And a lot cheaper…. a lot.
My WiFi has been a little wonky lately, so I usually have to refresh the feed a half dozen times – usually at the absolute worst times (last minute of a period, overtime, fight, powerkill, etc).
I’ll be using the Toronto feed if I can find one. The Florida feeds are unwatchable – just blatant fluffer homerism to the highest degree.
Yup, his post were not only stupid but factually incorrect. – Fake
That’s what happens when you regularly ignore facts and science, and start believing your own ideological horseshit.
Corporate suites are chock full of phucktards like that and the NHL is no different. Panthers guy just said the quiet part out loud. It’s just gonna motivate the Leafs even more.
So, Panthers executive tweets out something politically controversial and it’s an instant suspension.
However, the team’s players are allowed to head-hunt with impunity. At least one blatant headshot per series. Hagel in round one by the steroid cheater Ekblad and then Stolie by that crackhead Bennett.
I’m honestly more concerned with the events happening on the ice than the dumb shit some suit in the executive suite is saying. At this point, I just expect dudes in suits to say dumb shit. It’s in their job description.
If the league could turn their attention to the group of dirty cheap-shot artists on the ice, that would be great.
Good thing Edmonton has shit goaltending. Just imagine McJesus and DrySaddle playing in front of an elite goalie.
Just went peek in on HB.
Same shit different day.
Politics and flame wars.
Some things will never change.
This place has been a breath of fresh air.
Go Leafs!
