You mean when the poster told me to "go to bed" and I'm the inappropriate one? Come on now. f*** off was probably a little extreme though and I shouldn't have said it, in retrospect, but it was late and I was getting lambasted with angry responses.
Along the scale of inappropriate responses to disagreement I’ll leave you to evaluate the difference between ‘go to bed’, ‘ridiculous’ and ‘f off’. Looking at the last page of this thread though, you seem to have started a trend. I know you’ve been here long enough to recall the days when that would have been an immediate infraction.
It was a valid opinion. I like Kane showing toughness but that was not the time or place for it IMO. Lemeiux baited him into it and it could have cost the Oilers the game in a game where scoring chances were few and far between.
If Kassian had done that, I bet a bunch of posters would have called him a bonehead etc. because he's on the hated list currently but with Kane being the new guy, perspective is different.
Disagree entirely with that first part. Since when have we started blaming losses on a guy for taking a two minute penalty? Oh wait, I remember. It was back when some guy went on and on and on about how Archibald cost the team
a whole f***ing playoff series by making
one ill-advised, poorly timed hit. Kassian definitely has his haters so you probably aren’t far wrong with that second part, but I would have been just as pleased with the play no matter who had done it. Certainly would have cheered if it had been Kassian. Lemieux didn’t ‘bait’ anyone. He ran around and paid the price. As it should be. Maybe one day he’ll learn to stop hiding behind the officials.
Anyway, lets move on. I have my opinion and you have yours. BTW, you see how I didn't call your opinion "ridiculous". There's a way of having a civil exchange even through disagreement.
Setting aside the irony of receiving a lecture on civil discourse from the guy telling other community members to f-off, I must admit that looking back at the comments from the GDT you may have a point here. I had mistaken you for the person who suggested several times that Kane be sent down to the AHL. That was the comment I intended to (accurately) label as ridiculous. So while your comments were imo grumpy and overstated, I retract the incorrect application of that adjective.
