yeah, being nice to people, commiserating over a sport we love... surely a sign of a broken society
Correct.

with all due respect, if you think that people being kind to one another is somehow a problem...Correct.
I don't know if they're stacked but they're very talented, they're just poorly coached and they're not a team.
I think the "you are all New Yorkers" part hits it on the head. If you grew up with the Isles-Rags rivalry in the neighborhood and school, especially the older fans, there is no way you'd be going to their board with kind words and discussion.this isn't true, I have had some good conversations with Rags fans.
I can wish their team no success but still be objective and recognize that they have a lot of good peices
you guys are hysterical sometimes. I forget you are all jaded New Yorkers and I am a blissfully ignorant, friendly to a fault Canadian ;P
It also just comes across as patronizing. There’s a certain etiquette on message boards that isn’t a 1:1 tie with real life. For example, I have Ranger fan friends who I can act friendly with after a game, say “good game” etc. But nobody wants to see that on a message board lolI think the "you are all New Yorkers" part hits it on the head.

Nope, but the number of unique posters seems to increase dramatically when things aren’t going well. They are more than happy to point out what is wrong...but seem to disappear when things are going well.So only posts that highlight positive results are well-grounded and those that dare to mention potential areas of concern are drama? Is that the way it works. Good to know.
And the Rags have never been in playoff position this entire season, not even for a day.
You think Panarin is having 2nd thoughts ? 2 years as a Ranger, ZERO playoff wins.I don't know if they're stacked but they're very talented, they're just poorly coached and they're not a team.

I'm much more reader than poster but perhaps that's because there is not a lot to say about things going well against the likes of the Sabres and Devils because it doesn't mean much for a team with supposed Cup aspirations, whereas embarrassing losses at critical times against our true rivals rightly invites scrutiny. If the Isles had beaten the Caps and Bruins down the stretch then I'm sure the board would have been lit up with enthusiastic posts from all camps but that's not what happened.Nope, but the number of unique posters seems to increase dramatically when things aren’t going well.

Well for the record I think you are coming across as an assholeIt also just comes across as patronizing. There’s a certain etiquette on message boards that isn’t a 1:1 tie with real life.

legit bemusing that posters creep the rags board then come whine here that certain islander fans shoot the shit with them... without naming names of course.
we shoot the shit with sid the kidney, it is no different
question my integrity as a fan all you'd like, but from my POV anyone criticizing me for being able to objectively evaluate a team's roster and be civil with rival fans is a gatekeeper
I am not going to defend my conduct on this msg board beyond what I have already postedZeeker is no asshole, he and many others, are emotionally invested into this team.
I usually the Rags forum after our games, since that’s the only time when people are honest (... and it’s also satisfying observing their meltdown, not gonna lie). The Rags obviously got some major flaws in their lineup, but you will never see them talk about their issues when it’s all happy times.
I like the Isles and despise the Rags. I’m not from the NYC area, nor from North America. But the fact still stands, the Isles and the Rags are rivals, competitors. Posting on their forum, downplaying our performance and wishing them best of luck is just bad taste (going both ways) - and it got nothing to do with “kindness”. I can only talk for myself, but if we lose a game and someone from the other fan base invade our forum telling us how good we will be next season I would get annoyed.
this isn't true, I have had some good conversations with Rags fans.

Since we had some old records being broken, when was the last time a player lead his team in points and PM's? Barzal well on his way.
