Hot take of the year: Canes fans were never a super breed of hockey fans that were smarter, friendlier and humbler than everyone else, they just rarely happened to be involved in hot topics where other fans weighed, now that they feel offended by other fans there's replies are just as passive aggressive and defensive as the rest of ours.

I mean, I get why the false idea that the franchise is broke would be a touchy subject but the only reason other posters bought in is things that were reported about this GM situation and Bergervin's low ball offer sheet that he obviously thought would work, so I don't really blame poster's for falling for it. Where are those loveable, self-effacing, bunch of jerks now? I've seen a couple, but these posts aren't a good look.

Turns out we really are just a bunch

The entire franchise is a giant troll job. They bait you into thinking they are a poorly run joke then they pull the carpet out when you find out they do business like any other team.

Either Dundon is an attention whore, or a master at keeping a non-traditional team in the headlines year round. Maybe a bit of both.

Outside of Ottawa... are there?
Well, they have only $2m in cap space, are middle of the pack in players salary, are still waiting on Justin Williams to decide, and bought a first round pick for $6m in real money, so I think there’s your answer.

If they they were bottom of the league in player salary like they were in prior years, mainly under Karmanos, you might have a point, but they aren’t.

And you wanted me to explain why I said it was ironic you put HF on blast for making over-dramatic posts.

I hardly see how making a joke is overdramatic.

Not much more I can add to my explanation that you haven't.

You could add some sense. Any sense at all would be an improvement, really

To recap, posts I have made in this thread:

- A mild poke at the overreaction of the previous thread
- Three (3) "Dundon so cheap" jokes. This is a meme, a running gag. See: Speculation: - Tom Dundon so cheap
- a vaguely sarcastic reference to "dysfunction"
- a picture of what Don Waddell's face probably looks like in the midst of orgasm
- a mild poke at somebody accusing me of "stock responses"
- an actual non ****post (for once) about teams letting the FA market set prices for their potentially returning FAs
- a pat on the head
- a gracious acceptance of the "super breed" remark with a tangent on the virtues of riboflavin
- reference back to "super breed" remark
- A South Park joke
- a joke about how black people (it's OK, I'm black, mostly) smoke menthol cigarettes and drink fortified wine products
- a joke about the mighty downtown Durham bridge, which remains undefeated against all moving trucks, RVs, and anything else taller than 11 feet 8 inches
- a joke about Don Waddell sexually victimizing a piece of furniture
- a joke about preferred synonyms
- an honest question about how you can categorize anything I've said here as "overdramatic." I shoot for absurd on on a good day, surreal on the best days, pithy on the rest of the days, but "overdramatic" doesn't seem to be a good bucket here. Absurd? Probably. Prolific? Definitely? "Overdramatic" tho? Nah, don't see it.

Now. We cool?

Guess some on hfboards are not familiar with how negotiations work. Employer says person is replaceable, employee interviews at other jobs to create demand. Toss in the August doldrums in the hockey and you get a non story being a story like the Carolina/Wadell "fiasco."
