My understanding is that the decision was made that the sports threads are too "insular," so probably at some point.

Switching to more important matters, you had mentioned spreading a virulent flu bug throughout the Pens locker room leading up to tonight's game. How did that go? Well? They all flu'ed up?

I think there's a clear difference between legitimate hostility and occasional/jest trash talk. The only legitimate and prolonged hostility I've seen in this group has been towards Tabris. I get the feeling that follows him to most communities he tries to meld with though.
I think we're pretty safe guys.

NHL-GAF is really the only reason I come to GAF on most days, so hopefully these threads don't go away.
Hawks and Falcons fan, bro.

So that thread isn't a parody of the whole "Feed it Pizza" meme here. It certainly is borderline either way. Sports-Gaf has been called "too insular" explicitly despite the fact that there are numerous "insular" communities on Gaf dispersed through random topics. My point here is that the standard isn't applied AS a standard but arbitrarily and then justified with the TOS. If the mods STRICTLY imposed the TOS then there would be a TON of stuff that gets banned that doesn't. All I'm saying is that this recent criticism of the sports threads as "insular" is stupid. Disagree with the pizza example if you want, but I really don't think the singling out lately has been warranted.
That's what I was saying that one night, that one glorious night, were were in third spot.
So the the NBA thread is Germany. NBA-GAF are the Jews. The mods are the Nazis. And the NHL thread is... Poland?
Wait... that means....
That means our major exports are cars, machinery, furniture, and iron/steel products?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

I didn't forget them.
I love Suter, but think he's gonna resign with the Preds.
I think Weber's overrated, and I think he's gonna sign with whoever offers him the most money.
If the Stars could sign either one, great. I think they have a better chance of going after Parise.
Why would he, he's in his 20's and healthy.

Well-crafted.
I honestly think, though, that this summer is the dismantling of the team I've been waiting for. Holmstrom has to be gone. Babcock hates Hudler, so he'll be gone. Their beat writers have already said they're going full-bore after Parise. I'd imagine if Lidstrom retires (which I think he will) that they'll also go full-bore after Suter.

I wonder how free agency will go this summer. No CBA or salary cap for next year. Teams that spend to the cap now maybe in trouble next year.
If there is a next year.
If there is a next year.
That wasn't on the website I stole info from.
You know Holland is only going to sign Brian Rolston so you might as well forget about this Parise nonsense.
:lol

You'd figure teams would be wise enough to understand that the salary cap may (I'm guessing will) come down in the next CBA and wouldn't spend like mad.
They're all flu'd up. AHL squad is replacing the entire team. Given that the Jets are playing on the road, I think I've upped their chances of winning to about 20%.
Likewise, and it's the main reason I got a gaf account after lurking for so long, it's the best place for NHL discussion period, trash talking included.
"Business as usual," they say.
So, I'd imagine conservative spending. Too much uncertainty to make a lot of big signings, unless GMs are confident about the CBA and cap.

Conklin will get an extension too though.
I think that's why so many teams have a bunch of cap space this year. There's only a few teams that are up against the cap.
That happens every year though.
Cap Space, what's that? -looks at Canucks- nope, no idea what that is.

Parise just wants to spend a year here to see what types of extravagant features our retirement home offers when he finally leaves and returns at the prime age of 38.
its been too long, barrage

Sorry--I should have guessed.
If Lidstrom retires (good possibility) and Stuart leaves (100% possibility) Detroit could easily sign one of them and Parise. They may end up with $20 million in cap space.

so they locked the NBA thread to defend this poster's honor because some members were derailing her thread?

If this thread gets locked Bish should have things changed so it's locked but Tabris can still post in it. :lol
