I don't want to get too far from the topic of this thread, but...
Ya know.. it's kinda sweet of you to identify with HFCanucks with 174 messages in total but unless you've argued with Y2K in the tank thread (and I don't recall you doing so) I just don't see it (I'm totally kidding here and being a dick).
So, for the sake of your emotional well being, I encourage you to use the ignore button to ignore me because and I'm going to keep on doing what I'm doing which is analyze and interpret Canucks happenings from a business management and organizational behavior perspective along with everyone else here.
My low post-count in a decade of reading indicates that I am good at ignoring toxicity.
lol.... something like only 20% of vancouverites are on twitter. talk about niche representation.
it doesn't matter if it's an echo chamber here, if what's being echoed is correct. not to mention, other canucks' forums; also echo chambers. just with a lot of rose coloured stupidity. started on CDC, then reddit, then here. this place has the largest portion of pragmatic and astute canucks' analysis.
the projecting here is remarkable. disrespectful to speculate, aka discuss hockey on a hockey forum, but hey, "egotism is blinding everyone that disagrees with meeeee" yikes
get off it. we are here to speculate.
in my opinion, EP is pissed the team is run like shit, markstrom was sent packing, regressing the team
there. it's an opinion now.
can we discuss it now?
Good on you to reinforce my point about taking into account more diverse opinions on the Canucks. What percentage of Vancouverites are on HF Boards?
You misrepresent. Egotism was only applied to one poster who specifically demonstrated it.
To quote some forum rules on Rumours & Hearsay: "It's not acceptable to post that you heard someone has a drinking/drug/sex/personal problem from a "good" source. Do not post information that can be considered defamatory without a link to a credible media source."
Speculating about off-ice relationships between players and management is disrespectful and shouldn't be done without a credible source.
Echo chambers can promote largely correct lines of reasoning and still stultify discourse. This is the case in our universities at the moment. If the goal is pragmatism, let us address contentious theories in a thorough and impartial manner before we reject them outright. Whether or not ownership is the main culprit for mismanagement is one example.
As for EP40, his perceived drop in play and lower point generation is likely just bad luck. His on-ice shooting percentages are high, but his personal shooting percentage is down, especially on the PP. He now also leads the league in posts+crossbars hit with 5, several of which beat the goalies cleanly, but are not registered as shots. His on ice-point share is also way down, which speaks to his lower shooting% and also how arbitrary the second assist versus third assist differentiation can be. This said, it seems incredibly misguided to speculate that his drop in play has anything to do with his relationships with teammates/management.
