Chia appreciation thread.
- Thread starter backhandsauce
- Start date
These are both since you said you would let it be.
Why can't you just show a little respect and keep the negativity out of the Chia appreciation thread?
Because I don't understand why we have to have hermetically sealed threads where no dissent is allowed?
The roster and coaching staff is better today then when the season ended. Couldnt say that this time last year.
There are threads for spewing anger at Chia and for somewhat reasonable discussion. It's not an unreasonble request. It's called be a decent human being. The thread for all out attacks on Chia - #firechia and the thread for back and forth discussion of Chia ... rate 1 to 10.
Seriously, why can't you respect the fact that people may want to show appreciation for the work Chia has done?
Fair enough. Every team is going to run into cap issues from time to time.
Guess it depends on the situation with Strome. Brodziak now gives them an option at 3C. Not ideal, but it does provide the team more leverage in dealing with Strome.

Wasn't picking out specific teams, just some deals that I would have made if we had space

says the guy who loses his s*** and goes into defensive mode if anyone says anything less than nice about his hero hall. fine. if there's any hall appreciation thread out there i'll be sure to drop by...
Lol, if I said no one could say anything and about Hall, you might have a point. But i didn't and you don't.
And as if you need any motivation to indulge your bizarre obsession with Hall.
By continuing to spread your anger in a thread started to avoid that anger. What good are you doing by insisting to post contrary to the stated thread purpose?

I'm not angry. I dunno why you continue to conflate criticism with anger and bitterness.
I'm. Not. Stopping. Them.

Traano and the Blues..
Wish Chia could do a spare parts for quality deal ala STL.
Not "stopping them" is not respecting them.
Seriously, why can't you respect the fact that people may want to show appreciation for the work Chia has done? The never ending criticism is disrespectful. Can you please use one of the other threads to criticize Chia? Or at least answer the questions why you refuse to doso?
Chi made two pretty solid signings today. Yet, you are obstinate in resuing to comprehend why your continued insistence on posting your criticisms in this thread is just plain ignorant.
LMAO come on. It's a hockey board, it's not that serious.
Ok here's some appreciation: I appreciate that Chia has (so far) not completely **** his pants and made a couple of good small bets working with the tiny amount of cap space he left himself.
So you are just taking the piss out of everybody? Good for you. Nice to see that being a decent human being is beyond your level of maturity.
Oooh. Sarcasm. The sign of a truly developed man.

Not kissing a hockey executive's *** on a message board makes me a bad human being now?

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
He acts like you're saying this to his face. I would hope the GM has better things to do with his time than read message boards.

Mods should thread ban certain posters who are not adhering to the spirit of this thread. There are other (several) threads they can vent their criticisms about Chia. I came to read some appreciation but it consistently being derailed by certain posters.
I appreciate Chia bringing back former oilers Brodziak and Rieder. It feels some wrongs have been made right, they were two players I didn't want to see traded when they were here.
Though there is still a ways to go to regain my full confidence in him. He is definitely taking the steps in the right direction...even if it's baby steps.

No purposely posting on a thread aimed at showing appreciation for Peter Chiarelli just to get a reaction from people leaves you a little short of being a decent human being.
Nobody is saying you have to kiss Chia's arse. Just post your criticisms in the thread meant for it. Keeping your criticism out of this thread isn't kissing arse. It is what a decent human being would do.
Excellent post.
Regaining full confidence in Chia really only happens with a strong season from the Oilers. The Oilers are definitely headed in the right direction.
Even that Down Goes Brown guy on Sportsnet gave Chia a little love for his small moves. Rieder and Brodziak are good.
Chia has built the team and it's do or die now. Repeat 2016-17 and he may earn himself an extension. Repeat 2017-18 and he's out of a job.
