I couldn't even visit the thread. It was so toxic. Grown men who turned on our 1st overall pick in his 18 year old season and who obsessed on ridiculing and dumping on the kid every day.
Slaf was PPG at the end of the season.
It's really not...the signs were there.
Yeah some of these comments, especially on twitter were brutal. That wasnt criticism anymore, just blatant hate. Leafs and Sens fans should focus on their teams. And even some Habs fans should be ashamed of themselves.
You’re talking goals right?
it was legit BRUTAL!
not gonna lie... I spend most of my free time over the last 15 year reading this board as my ADHD fixation. like everyday! gotta keep the mind entertained at all times, so its either a million different projects, which my wife just "loves" or reading this board... HF Habs board was/is my go too comfort lol
but at the end of last year and the beginning of this year this board and particular thread had reached a level toxicity that made me straight up avoid these boards for a few months. it was disgusting, depressing and wholly un enjoyable to visit due to certain people beating their chest in every thread and every post shitting on the kid that we're supposed to be excited for! shitting on everyone who was trying to be patient and hopeful for our 1st over all pick.(the nerve we had wanting to be excited!)
there is nothing wrong with not liking a player, or being concerned about development or bad habits etc.. but it was no longer about that .. it became about being right and shitting on everything and everyone who didn't whole heartedly agree with and champion their toxic opinions. and it was like a f***ing cancer that just infected every thread on here.... lines became drawn, and then both side had to go to the extreme with their positions to counter eachothers. good riddance to those days!
...the thing I'm most happy about with Slafkovsky progression is that this board, like slaf, has now turned it around into a supportive and hopeful (for the most pat) place again! almost rivaling the turn around of The Slafsquatch him self!
man I'm so f***ing glad with him this year! I just hope some people have learned a little bit of patience with these 18yo super talented kids and give them a chance with a little bit of positivity.
Do you do stand-up comedy? You are one entertaining guy.
Hol' up. Nobody hated Slafkovsky, thats ridiculous lmao. He was playing like shit and the reactions were according to his play, not anything else.who's moping? we were reminiscing about the toxic bullshit a handleful of slaf haters filled our boards at a childish and unbelievable rate. these, posters who cried and whined every f***ing post, trying to get people to join their crusade against an 18yo kid who's was just entering the nhl.. all so they can stroke their own egos and say that they were right?! ... talk about pathetic! grown ass men becoming so f***ing engrossed and obsessed with a teenage boy that it fills them up with literally and visceral hate? yup PATHETIC! LOL
But, our discussion was not directed at anyone in particular.. just about the overall cesspool this board had become because of the endless posts and then extreme one-uping both sides fell into at that time
I'm sorry that our discussion hurt your feelings and clearly caused a guilty ass negative reaction with in you.. but popping up now in a aggressive retort to a conversation that was just about the general toxicity around that time, is quite telling.
anyway thats the most effort i will be putting towards this clear bating bs... so hate on my hater! Cheers
