Tuesday Links: Finishing headlines just like the Blues finish g

by Poor College Student on Oct 19, 2010 6:01 AM CDT

Now where did I leave that bottle of Maker's Mark?

And spare me the "We outplayed them for most of the game" stuff. I fully realize that. Hell, we'll probably come out pissed off as all hell on Friday night because of it and hopefully that'll be for the better. Right now, I'm just going to sit here and be pissed off that we lossed to the Hawks. I'll come back to the land of the rational sometime later.

First they thought I was ASD, and then ADHD, and after a few years of having MD, they told me that I am probably EI. But all I know for sure is that I have TS... Fuck it, just call me alphabet soup.

I love the fact that the video and the episode of Family Guy when Brian and Stewie breaks Peters’ Bird is the Word cd are shot the same exact way.

It was a shitty night at work too...

after watching the muther f’n “chicago indians” won in that fashion. Its like the spirit of AM possessed Payne and we shat the bed for the final 10mins plus overtime. I WANT SOME REVENGE ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

Halak (da big poppa) was spectacular, DP was “da show stoppah” but still no win. These moral victories are getting real old real f’n fast.

On a bright side Pietro looked like a real pro and a star last night, even Brewer was workin it.

I think Murray loses this game in regulation...

… because the entire third period would have been focused on protecting the 1-0 lead.

It’s no fun to be the better team for 53 minutes and have only the loser point to show for it. But there are worse alternatives.

Some observations.....

- at this pace, the blues would finish at 98 points, probably good for 5th or 6th in the West; right where most predicted. I still feel empty; probably because this team seems capable of more with their caliber of play in the first 5 games.

- Blues defensemen need to start punishing guys for getting all up in Halak’s grill. I know he has only been with the team for 5 games, but guys…stand up for him. The Hawks were doing this early and often. The refs obviously are going to let guys push our goalie around (apparently goalie interference isn’t called anymore, unless the goalie is the one penalized for phantom interence…that was bullshit call too on Halak that lead to the first Hawk goal), but we sure as hell shouldn’t allow it.

- Petro and Johnson looked really strong last night. Johnson needs to play more than 21 minutes a game. Two offensive plays that stood out to me: 1.) That pass to DP57 that sprung him on the breakaway a minute after his 1st goal was great. And the two d-men he split on that play? Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. Great touch by EJ to get it in there. 2.) Petro made a great play to spring Perron on his first goal to draw Keith to him, make a nice little pass to DP57, who then did the rest around Seabrook. These were great plays both Petro and EJ against what many call the best defensive pair in the NHL.

- The Hawks are going to hate playing against Halak for the next decade or so. He made some unbelievable, anit-Turco saves last night. And what do I mean by Anti-Turco? I mean cool as a fucking cucumber saves. Point blank shots from the slot that he casually kicks out the leg and acts as if, “that’s all you’ve got”. He damn near got to the first Hossa goal; and the second you can blame on 3 blues players for literally taking over his crease. Last night didn’t end well for the Blues, but the day is coming soon when Hawks fans will leave the UC frustrated by this guy on a regular basis.

- should be a great atmosphere for Friday night. Can’t wait for it to get here.

Please come back on Friday and cripple Hossa for the rest of the season.

I'd rather skip the crippling and get right to the taking Winchester's spot in the roster.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Looks like enough people flagged it . . .

for it to be removed.

And it was probably for good reason . . . considering all the anti-troll imagery that was coming out of it. It probably made sense for all parties involved.

See now

I don’t agree with that.
While I didn’t agree with the post and the opinion (being a homer) I also don’t think it should be imploded.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it’s to stir the pot.

If it's a genuine opinion, I agree.

But when a poster (1) disappears for days on end when the Blues are winning, (2) reappears only after a frustrating loss, (3) pins the loss solely on one player, and (4) titles his post in such a way as to imply that any disagreement is foolish; then you have to consider that the post may have crossed the line from pot-stirring to trolling.

I don’t know how the site software works. If a certain number of flags triggers an automatic deletion, well, that’s the breaks. But if an actual moderator has to step in and drop the hammer, then I’d question the need for deletion. Ideally, the moderator would be able to drop a comment that says, “I judge this to be a troll post, and I’m locking it.”

by BleedBlue42 on Oct 20, 2010 1:35 PM CDT up reply actions

I don't have full moderator privileges here, so I'm not very well-versed on how the system works here . . .

but I’m pretty sure there is no automatic deletion for those types of things.

However, I’d be willing to bet enough people flagged it (a record amount, possibly) as a troll that the heads could not just stand by and let it be. And there were some REAL ballsy comments on that thread (not that there never is . . . there ALWAYS is) basically damning the troll. When I threw mine up there, I think I counted one out of about 10 comments that said nothing of the guy acting troll-ish.

Six in one hand, half-dozen in the other. Anyway, probably for the best that it’s gone.
