I think I'm falling in love with you
it was still a moronic trade, I hate it, and I still think Despres is better than a vast majority of the prospects they kept over him...

I politely disagree as i could easily have gone without the relentless repetitive hatred from a few extremely negative individuals.
I would love to have a keyword-based post filter but unfortunately that's unrealistic.
I asked if there was any way to eliminate all posts with "Gibbons" in them last year, when I was getting sick of people pretending he was a high upside prospect instead of a Swiss leaguer (what he actually is).
Someone linked me this

Not what I asked for, but still kind of hilarious.
Sorry in advance for the rant, here but if things are so super "unbearable" how about instead of dropping in for a second and devoting time and effort into complaining about all the complaining... maybe just put the blinders on to the stuff you don't like and talk about what you want to talk about, instead? The more interesting and well-articulated, the better!
I suspect it's because it's easier just to whine about it instead of actually trying to change people's minds via intelligent dialogue. Kind of ironic, huh? That the people making things "so unbearable" actually contribute to the general conversation regularly and the majority of the "OMG SO UNBEARABLE" crowd kinda swing by every now and then just to drop whiny, inane one-liners and then scurry off? It must be tough to go through life so thin-skinned and unwilling to look past things that bother you.
Groupthink can be aggravating, I get that. So can circle-jerking. But it's not hard to avoid, at worst, and much more rewarding to attempt talking through. There are tons of posters on here I rarely agree with but value highly because they will actually put in the time, effort and clarity of thought to make me often re-think my position. Which is awesome. Obviously there are also people just not worth your time. But, I mean... welcome to life?
Just a thought.
There's nothing wrong with putting people on Ignore. It can change your life if you peruse these boards often. I wouldn't even blame people for doing it to me lol. I'm sure they could form a cogent argument why they did, at least on an anecdotal basis. I would never do it to someone I vehemently disagree with or get catty with though as long as they have a valid opinion.

How about an explanation from Lovejoy on why at age 31 he was a healthy scratch in Anaheim?
I really hope Lovejoy can shut us all up. Here's hoping he is so much better than what we think he is that it makes this trade palatable.
I don't use ignore.
You've missed out, you've missed out on a huge chunk of what life really is, theirs...life is a massive ****in mystery

In the words of Joe Rogan:
So start using your ignore feature or you shall go on through life missing out!
I saw from the Avs board GDT that these are the expected pairings for the opposing team tonight:
Hejda-Redmond
Guenin-Barrie
Holden-Stuart
If Nate Guenin's in your top 4, you may want to have some serious thought about doing something to improve your blueline....
Oh, and hey, it's Brad Stuart! Thanks again for the Cup Win, Brad! (Seriously, he's responsible on both goals in Game 7 - he turns over the puck to Malkin for the first goal, then makes a bad pinch on the second).
HA! It would sort of seem to me to be the other way around, no?
