Oh my god.
Every time I think he can't set the bar any lower, he does it. Bravo.
My eyes nearly rolled out of my head at that.

Personally I'd trade 10 calder cups for one extra Rangers' playoff win. Maybe I'm in the minority.
Yeah.Do you remember 5 or 10 or 25 years ago how many games the Rangers won in the playoffs?
I did enjoy his Chris' Corner segment on Blueshirts United.
I still find this funny as ****
Using a minor signing of a minor leaguer as a cautionary tail or as any indication as to the direction of the NHL is overreacting.
Oh my god.

Herman is anything but an idiot, tbh.
But that's a discussion for another place.
He wore an A for Hartford last season. This is very likely nothing more than veteran leadership signing for the Wolf Pack.
I don't know whether I'd call Herman a moron--but I'm not a fan of his. I've had one kind of negative interaction with him-- not that I was looking for it either. I don't really look at him as an expert--more that he's fairly well informed but also has certain biases. There are a lot of rangers posters here at HF who are just as well versed if not better versed. It's not just Herman though there are other blogsters who are a little full of themselves as well. I did like Leslie-- not saying I always agreed with her on everything but she tried hard and had a nice personality and she was open to being critiqued.
Anyway we need some guys in Hartford who are experienced--who can help younger guys get acclimated into what it takes to become a professional. It helps if they can play well at the level they're at. Summers seems okay at the. AHL level--not so okay at the NHL level--and Hartford's really short on defensemen at the moment so I don't have a real problem with the Rangers bringing him back.
Herman is extremely thin-skinned and every tweet of his trying to highlight the absurdity of other viewpoints are complete strawmen. He tries to make anyone who disagrees with him out to be the biggest idiot, yet rarely cites his source.
Resigned =/= re-signed
I hate being a "grammar nazi" on the internet, because honestly, no one cares, but yeah there's a significant difference between resign and re-sign.
As far as Herman, we're not really supposed to discuss the source, but that's a silly tweet. He's just drumming up controversy. It's like ESPN's "embrace the debate" BS. He knows what he's doing. The discussion of his tweet here and on other boards probably gained him a few followers. Obnoxious but savvy.
agree with you. jeez. didn't think i would create this type of uproar. i think those guys at blueshirt banter do a really nice job.

Yep, he gets quoted on here and takes it to twitter and ridicules it people who disagree.
Really hard to take him serious when he laughs at people and never tags them though. Asked him about that a couple of times, no answer. Well at least i dindt get blocked
Guy says he isnt on Hf boards but keep posting screen shots. Lame.
Btw, you can quote me on this Adam.
Lol that tweet set off a firestorm.
It's over reactionary, sure, but I think his ultimate point is that leadership and all that is fine but you could probably get a career AHL'er with leadership that's actually good. He referenced Chris Bourque as a guy that performs well at the AHL level who's been around.
This signing is just whatever to me. I dislike it because there's a chance he'll actually play a game with us at some point. He's just not good.
And Herman used to be a poster here that was a pretty big name FYI.
It blows my mind that people on this board even cite the guy. He's such an idiot.
