    GM's recommendation on hitting

    Except Boogaard doesnt do that kind of stuff, and neither do most heavys. Its the Avery, Ott, Tucker, Cooke and Tootoo's of the league this is aimed at.

    A better move would be to get rid of the instigator rule, to weed out ******* like Matt Cooke from the NHL.

    -29, this is great! I'm so flatted to have garnered so much attention. Apparently some in here are pretty self conscious of status or trying to be elite or really making a point of showing that they dislike some people.

    Zetterberg needs to step it up

    Hurt or not....Zetterberg needs to start working harder. A perfect example was last night when he had a partial breakaway and decided to stay to the outside. He really didn't drive the front of the net and give himself the best chance to score. This is a guy who has scored 40 goals and is pinned to be captain after Lidstrom. I'm very annoyed with his unwillingness to take it upon himself to get this team into the playoffs. Pav is doing it. Franzen is doing it. Homer is doing it. If Z doesn't start doing it....he won't get the chance to step up in the playoffs like he always does. I love Z but now is his time to get going. Didnt he just start making a ton of money this season? time to earn it.

    No suspension for Cooke

    Yeah, it's pretty sad how guys like Matt Cooke and Jarkko Ruutu have replaced players like Tony Twist and Stu Grimson. I'd rather see a return of the talentless enforcer than to have these cheap shotting pricks who just want to end a player's career. Even if these dirty punks have the skill to be a contribution to the team offensively, I don't want to see them in the NHL anymore.

    No suspension for Cooke

    All I want is to see someone pummel Matt Cooke within an inch of his life. Is that too much to ask?

    You would have hated Primeau when he was with the Wings -- absolutely infuriating. Think Lang, only more whiny. He didn't start playing to his potential until with Phily. My list: 1) Konstantinov 2) Yzerman 3) Lidstrom 4) Larionov 5) Kocur 6) Fischer 7) Datsyuk 8) Hasek 9) Hudler 10) Zetterberg

    No suspension for Cooke

    Is Richards a repeat offender? Cooke is. Derek Boogard recently got suspended for a knee-on-knee hit because he is - all together now - a repeat offender. One could say that Richards got the benefit of the doubt because he's not a repeat offender. Matt Cooke, on the other hand, does this s*** all the time. Remember the suspension he got for his hit to the head of Anisimov? REPEAT. OFFENDER. Cooke should have gotten at least five games, if not more.

    It would be a very good lesson for a lot of posters on this forum to log onto capgeek.com and just scroll through teams salary charts just to get an idea about how much people are getting paid and how they are producing. Id like to know what players you guys would rather have than Filppula and Cleary at their cap hit, excluding young players on their rookie contract.

    I've never seen a reputation system abused on any other forum I use that has it, so seeing it abused here is rather mind-boggling. One forum I go on goes by a "karma" system and has a lock down of two hours before you can give or take "karma" from that same person again, but there's no limit on how many times you can give it to different people in a day. Another forum with a similar reputation system to this won't let you give reputation the same person again until you've given some to other people (a button message will pop up saying "you must spread some reputation around before you give it to that person again!"). It works well on both sites and I think it could work well here too, but people need to stop being idiots about it and spamming people with negative reputation when they don't deserve it. That defeats the entire purpose.

    No suspension for Cooke

    It was a legal hit, why would he be suspended? Just like the Richards hit. Both legal, but vicious hits. No suspension warranted.

    Nope. There have been moments in the past obviously being that I've been a member on here for a while but definitely not lately. Even if there were it'd probably be with people who could care less about the rating or rep thing that badly either. Some may not like me, that's fine, doesn't bother me at all. Not looking for acceptance or a fan club. I am who I am and probably not much on here will change that, nor will I change people on here myself in all likelihood. I don't have personal vendettas against anybody here nor would have much of a worthwhile reason to have one, especially when it comes to rating somebody in an Internet forum. Your guess is as good as mine is to what I might have done recently or over a lengthy period to warrant this, or over a lengthy period, because I don't have any grudges with people and nobody that I can think of has any beef with me to where I think I'm being stalked obsessively or where I should tell somebody to just leave me alone. If this is a revenge factor towards me for somebody or some people, knock yourself out I guess if it makes you sleep easier at night. It's pretty embarassing though.

    Excellent stats. I live just south of Vancouver, trust me dude rarely plays with the two Sedins. Like I said in a previous thread and LGW tried to trash me, Sammy is totally outgunning the Wings goal scorers. ANd the WIngs lost some much needed grit when they let him go. Even the Canadians on the Cauncks say he got all the talent of the Swedes with the grit of a Canadian. Its time to face facts; all that defensive responsibility is great, but if we don't put the frikin puck in the net, then it's all for not. I thought we were on to something with these recent 5 goal games, but WTF against Calgary at home, ouch.

    I do appreciate it. That doesn't mean I don't think this system is ripe for abuse, though. I feel bad for good posters who always make great contributions to this place only to find those contributions basically crapped on. It sucks.

    Pretty much. No, I just likely wouldn't have come off as polite. I'm tired of people bitching about nickle and dime s*** when they're lucky the forum is up and running. That, and I see in red and white anyway.

    Wow... this forum feels... awkward

    I don't like the reputation system either. We've clearly seen in this thread how it's being abused by people who are just going around giving negative points to people they don't like, regardless of what the post actually says. How does that promote a friendly and welcoming forum atmosphere? I'm sure I'll get a slew of negative points for saying that, but anyone who does is merely demonstrating their immaturity. I feel bad for people like Jack (SWF) who always make solid and positive contributions to the board, and are getting caught up in this.

    Ya think? I just checked my profile and it's at nearly -70. Now am I crying about that or sending out a campaign to get + reps? No. I could really care less about reputation or status on here, and I'm not going to rate people's rep on here with the +/- thingy. Doesn't really matter to me, you are who you are and my rating isn't going to change that. I just find it funny, and a bit sad, that I am that low and am garnering so much attention. I'm all for a playful joke or ribbing here and there and that's where the rep thingy can be a bit of fun, but come on, -70 in a matter of a day? You have to be an absolute d**khead to do that, and I know I'm not that kinda person 24-7. The only way it got to that is somebody/some people having too much fun or for whatever reason just not liking me or having a personal vendetta. Do you really care that badly about reputation or putting somebody down? You really think this will make you that much cooler or accepted? Are you really this pitiful?

    Nobody is going to have a high reputation. We all freaking hate each other here. Well, maybe the mods will from a sucking up standpoint.

    Apparently, if it hits -50, that poster gets banned automatically. At least that's what Matt told me via PM

    Interesting. So if mindfly gets banned (which is more than likely), then I have a good chance to take over the top spot.

    Speaking of reputation, whatever happened to that "most irritating poster" poll that you started several months ago?

    Wait, so I can't increase my own reputation points? That blows. You don't expect me to be nice to everyone all of a sudden just so others can increase it for me? I'm not liking this new feature.
