That just sounds like Ranger and Devil fans.
I didn't even know that they played?

Be more specific. This makes no sense unless we have a player's name and a team name.

They both suck.
-Rangers fans.
Check out the post game threads every time they do anything but win by 7. And even then, sometimes...
many people claim to watch far more games than they actually do.
Rangers and Lafreniere. But I figured it would become an anti-Lafreniere thread because the kid is one of most hated players on HF.

Unforgiven
People wanting more consistent refereeing and no game management, but then complaining that the game gets too soft or whenever penalties are lopsided.

X team loses 5-0 but it was because they got goalied and the refs were biased against them, no it’s just because the team played

"[list of players] are shit, they suck, I can't wait to get rid of their sorry loser asses."
vs.
"We'll send you [few, some, all of the players in that list] for a 1st" / "if you want [any one player in that list] it's going to cost you at least a 1st."
2)
"This league is too soft, there's no emotion, we need more hate in the game,."
vs.
[guy does something trivial that pisses off people] "No, not that shit, that's against the code."
3)
"We need to make it easier for teams to make trades, keep their own players, etc."
vs.
Every idea that makes the salary cap more inflexible - like "a player's salary should just be his cap hit" and "we need to shorten how long a player can sign a contract"
vs.
Franchise player tagging, or cap discounts for homegrown players, or other ideas that would put the players - who have already made it clear they don't like escrow and want to reduce it - in Escrow Hell.
4)
"We need more divisional games to build rivalries"
vs.
"JFC, why are we playing [divisional rival] again? We need fewer games against division teams, this is too much."
5) Why poor attendance is a bad thing, conditional on where a team is located. Mentioned above.
6)
"Divisional playoffs build rivalries, we need more of that"
vs.
"The current playoff system sucks, we need to go back to 1-8 in the conference."
And while not contradictions, there's also a long list of ideas that get offered every 3-4 months as if no one else has ever thought about them, or that they haven't been discussed [and 99% of the time picked apart because they were terrible the 1st time around, and the 15th time they're not any better].

The one game (and others) where the Oilers won 3-0, but were outshot 59-27 was one of only legitimate circumstances where this is untrue.
Too many times people have an excuse, when in reality it’s just too hard to have 82 extremely consistent efforts playing against the worlds elite players & coaches
Warden of the North
Ned Stark's head
In July, player under contract for one more season.
"He's only under contract for one season, no one is giving a top prospect and a 1st for him".
Same player at trade deadline
"He's worth a 1st, 2nd, and top prospect".
"He's only under contract for one season, no one is giving a top prospect and a 1st for him".
Same player at trade deadline
"He's worth a 1st, 2nd, and top prospect".
Fans give a GM a “winner” label for making a splash at the trade deadline.
Fans accuse the GM of being loose with picks and killing the team’s future years later.

Even that isn’t a legitimate circumstance, you can outshoot an opponent but shoot volume instead of quality. It’s just a bad look as hockey is too random to say you got “goalied”

Fancy Stat A: Player 1 is amazing, a star
Fancy Stat B: Player 1 is average.
Fancy Stat A: Player 2 is amazing, a star
Fancy Stat B: Player 2 is average.
Fan of fancy stats:
The team should ditch Player 1, look at their fancy stat B scores, they aren't very good.
They should go after Player 2, their fancy stat A says they're amazing.

And you believe that? Player will gladly give up millions or tens of millions on their contract in exchange for a cup. Only someone who is gullible or never had to work for a living would believe this

Ya stats can be twisted into your favour in anything, when only presenting a couple of stats out of a thousand.
lol, their still multi millionaires, never played sports before eh.
So ,would a superstar with 100 million career earnings ,multiple awards and no cups trade places with a player with no awards, 20 million career earnings and 3 cups

No one trades cups you earn them,
What a stupid comparison 100 vs 20
Would a player take say 10% less pay for a cup absolutely they would.
Lots will say higher
No one will say 80% less, thats why it’s an extreme example.
