Someone predicted it, at a time where it was pretty well thought that only Bylsma was going to be canned.

There was a new account that was posting stuff that kept getting flagged. Some of the stuff that was flagged (and deleted) was corroborated by more established posters. It all related back to the Shero and Byslma firings, and a bunch of stuff about Morehouse and the FO.

On the topic of compensation for fired personel. It will 100% be gone by January. So theres that to look forward to.

I may be older but I'm never forgetting #47 & #41
Which is an interesting thing for a mod to do. Considering the whole personal attack angle and all, but whatever. It's over now.
Yeah, I'll miss IC. He was one of a half-dozen or so posters whose opinion I really respected. 
It's a shame that the fight involved a few others (Bigs, Jiggy, Cole).
It's a shame that the fight involved a few others (Bigs, Jiggy, Cole).That was a stupid argument, but to pin the blame on any one poster in that instance is asinine. In a way, it's a microcosm of being Penguins' fan. In the end, we all lose...

Yeah, it was all pretty dumb and unfortunate all around.

The king is gone, but he's not forgotten.

I've never thought Capp to be thin skinned. Certain topics were sure to set him off, but that's true for most of us. And he is able to walk away from an argument ... 'Good luck in your future endeavors' was/is his trademark
I've seen some other folks comment about him lording over his sources, or that having inside information swelled his ego, or something to that effect. I wonder if it ever occurred to anyone that there was information he couldn't divulge because it might tip off who he is IRL, and maybe cost him his job? That he wasn't holding back stuff because he was on an ego trip, but that it was too specific?
As for who is going to know ... people in the industry do read these boards. Players, agents, FO and PR people from all the teams. And they do have accounts for flagging posts ... we saw that the summer that Shero and DB were fired.
I'm with you on hoping they're both back to posting again, though.
Agreed. I never got the arrogant stuff with IC at all. Highly sarcastic and a little over the top at times for sure, but not arrogant.
I know. Oh do I ever know
.I've said this a lot but it gives me great comfort that our first round pick is lottery protected this year. While I doubt we'll be a basement dweller or anything close, it's obviously easy to see us missing the playoffs, and with the new lottery format we'd have a shot at the #1, #2, or #3 pick.
So missing the playoffs would suck but hey, at least we'd have a shot at an impact player.

Meh ic will be back. If not another will take his place. There are always those in the know lurking on long term national sites like this. Eventually most start posting

Geno's next injury will send you over the cliff.
Hahahaha! Yeah... that's a distinct possibility.
Nah... just kidding. I don't really care, anymore. I think they finally broke me. They can suck with him or without him, ya know?

That would give me comfort but for this organization's approach to neutering impact players through inferior management and coaching.

Both IC and Jiggy will be back.
Honestly, that was more odd between them than anything. Jiggy saying that Sid isn't demanding a thing but being catered to regardless, and IC basically getting angry over the Jiggy suggesting that Sid is making demands even though Jiggy often said he didn't.
The one thing I disagreed with vehemently was that Sid isn't catered to. IC blamed it on stupidity, but what I never got a chance to tell him is that if there's one thing I've learned having my hand in a bunch of different businesses and dealing with people who think they're smarter than they really are, is that stupidity is often random.
At some point, when stupid decisions seem to always favor a single individual, it's not stupidity but a form of favoritism. In other words, if Sid often found himself in spots or with linemates that didn't make sense, I'd chalk it up to incompetence. But when Sid (almost) never finds himself in an uncomfortable spot, there's an angle there.
Really, it was two people getting looking for reasons to get angry. In the end, it was a fight that usually only couples get into
Both are solid posters, and both will be back.
