OT: The new hfboards, now with a higher character limit!

[Goose of Reason]

First post on the site, thought this would be the proper thread to make it in. I usually watch every game and browse the GDT while I do. Finally made an account after seeing this thread.

Welcome to the board!

I pull up the thread when we get scored on to see how many people **** on the goalie.

Reddit is better than HF, because not every "main board" thread turns into a pissing contest. The GDTs are surprisingly civil. I feel like there are more pure hockey fans there, where as HF has more team fans.

That said, I am watching more games. What I mean by that is, I used to post about every little thing in a game, and I found that it interfered with me actually watching the game. I would miss stuff, because I was calling out a dumb play on the GDT.

But that's me.

On Randy Carlyle... if the Ducks had hired former coach Mike Babcock (obviously fantasy), I think the interest and support would be totally different. I think most people feel that 2011 will eventually happen again before 2007 does.

Carlyle is like dating your ex; Babcock is like dating your old high school flame.

Tomorrow's high here is -3 F and the low is -10. Am I crazy for actually liking that? So long as there is not too much snow, I would rather be a bit cold, than too hot.

Well, if you call -3 to -10 a bit cold, I might have to say yes. This morning I had to be out in 40 degree weather until it warmed up. I'm still thawing out and checking for frostbite.

If the area you're in actually has wind, and those are actual temps instead of wind chill, then yes, you need to seek help.

Does the self-moderation keep the jax-es in check?

These violent delights have violent ends.

Boy do they ever.

I agree with you 100% on reddit. Main board threads here are usually terrible, Reddit's nature means you are forced to interact civilly with everyone to remain not-banned from /r/hockey.

As for watching the games I've been watching fewer this year. I work full time and I'm in grad school, as well as planning a wedding. I'm busy.

 

[The Noot]

What's absolutely horrible about reddit is the way they handle their content.

To just put the most popular stuff on top creates nothing but echo chambers while controversial opinions usually don't even see the day of light. In other words, a system that prevents conversations and disputes and encourages morons jacking each others off.

 

[kducks]

I take it this is the new OT thread.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I take it this is the new OT thread.

Yes, it morphed from the old one that hit the limit. But oddly enough, this could probably be it's own topic/thread.

yes, they are air temperature, not wind chill lol

Also, I am wearing shorts today

I like Reddit a lot, but I at least can have a different opinion on here and can talk negatively about this team when warranted. Try that on Reddit and your opinion gets hidden from everyone and you get told to shut up, can't speak negatively about the team or you're not a fan. So annoying.

 

[Goose of Reason]

The Ducks Reddit page has never done it for me. Actually, pretty much Reddit in general. I like this place way more.

While I've never been in temps nearly that cold, I agree with the premise. You can always add layers of clothing to get warm. There's nothing to cool you off except AC.

Take your pants off.

[Carolinas Identity*]

[kducks]

Then runs inside to put pants on right after.

Pants are overrated
