A healthy Shattenkirk will put up 40-50 points next season now that he is away from AV.

Just look how Staal and Yandle were criminally underused by AV and have been reborn on other teams.

And this is the best hockey McDonagh is playing since 2014 now that he is away from AV.

The evidence is overwhelming

I agree with all of that. AV was our biggest problem imo.

Haven't looked through to see if this was mentioned, but - there is a pretty small group of Devils fans that think that Schneider is a bad goalie.

And that's not just like...during his awful stretch this year people were saying he sucked. It's that they think that never in his Devil career has he been a good goalie.

How can you disagree with that?

Let’s ask the audience:

FANS OF OTHER TEAMS- Are you allowed to freely criticize your GM on your team’s board, or are you forced to post in one thread if you want to do that? Because that’s HFOil right now, where a group of five or six posters has basically made it a bannable offense to question Chiarelli except for in one thread. At the same time, they mock those who want Chia fired for needing a “safe space”, completely oblivious to the irony.

Just curious if that is the standard elsewhere.

The Canucks board moved a lot of Benning talk and Tank talk into their own threads as every thread was turning into a Benning bashing thread and every GDT was turning into a tank thread. As far as I know, the enforcement hasn't been as heavy handed as on the HFOil page, but whenever a conversation gets too... let's say, off topic... it gets cleaned up. Otherwise you can go to the thread about our farm team and have to sift through pages of Benning hate before you can even find out the score of their most recent game.

The #1 easily and there's no way anybody can beat it is :

"I don't think it's that bad an idea to hire Garth snow (Backup Goaltender) as the GM"

Sean Monahan on the Flames board deserves his own thread for Dumbest things said within your own fan base.
From both sides of the argument too.

We've had him referred as:
The 5th Best Centre on Calgary's depth chart.
3rd line RW

We've also had:
Elite top line Centre
Wouldn't trade him straight up for X (where X is someone like Jack Eichel)
Elite defensive centre
Does everything right

There's no middle ground on our board with Sean, and that's what makes discussion about him so fun.

certain rags fans who go overboard with corsi and insanely overrate players with shiny shot differentials. lots of player hyped up completely fell off the earth and aren't even in the league anymore.

A poster on the Leafs board suggested we put Andersen on waivers two weeks into last season.

There’s still some that believe he’s no better than James Reimer

Hmmm, lots of things....some of them off the top of my head:

- earlier this year (Nov or Dec?) a fan wanted to trade Evander Kane for a 3rd round pick
- fans wanting to bring back Darcy Regier
- when Derek Roy was on Edmonton fans wanting to get him the following off-season again
- fans wanting Zemgus Girgensons on the first line

Oh Jesus, I just remembered a small but vocal minority of Islander fans who were furious over the Griffin Reinhart trade when it happened.

You see, Griffin Reinhart was a 4th overall pick. And Barzal was a 16th overall pick so this is a terrible trade. Maybe in a few years we can trade Barzal for the 28th overall pick!

I was just thinking today about how I actually talked to another Pens fan and she told me she didn't like coach Sullivan and "missed Dan" (Bylsma).

I guess being peak trash talk season between fans with the playoffs and all, I thought I'd turn the tables a little. What is the dumbest thing you've heard said recently within your own fan base?

I don't believe you.

As a Pens fan, the amount of people that hate Matt Murray.

What would I have to gain by lying about something like that?

There are fans like her who also hate Sullivan "because of how he treated Fleury."

I believe you man! I was just messing with you because that's such an asinine thing she said.

In regards to MAF - Oh yeah, I've seen the comments and heard them on Mikey and Bob plenty of times!

A poster on the Bruins board said ‘say goodbye to your fans, leafs’ after the end of game 6. Disgusting
