MabusIncarnate

This might have been the worst deadline I can remember since being a Wings fan. Mrazek blows, and I was happy to get rid of him the first time. Just keep Veleno and ride out Lyon, no part of this move makes sense to me. Replacing one or both of Holl and Gus was priority in my mind, and addressing the D wasn't even hinted at. Bulls*** day.

I can deal with Petry on the bottom pair when he's healthy again, but need to get another to replace Holl/Gustafsson and i'll be happy. I think that spot is our largest glaring issue besides a more productive 2C.

Let's go boys, way to dominate tonight.

I watched the Lions tonight instead of the Wings, imagine if they get Hutchinson back deep in playoffs on top of it. Gibbs/Monty combo have been just a blast to watch. Looks like Husso played well tonight at least, yet another game where our goalie holds the opposing team to 2 goals and still can't get them the W. Offense sucks s*** 5 on 5 this year, something needs to change. I thought Kane/Tarasenko would be more difference makers for goal scoring at least. Tired of losing, if you haven't hopped on the Lions train yet, do so. They are very fun to watch this season.

This ******* killed me If we ever get Matt back or at least get him to give me more mod tools so I can promote people i'd commit to making Leftwinger a mod. It would be nice if I could adjust registration to approval or restrict new topic creation from new users also, trying to check in daily to at least clear out the spam bots.

Looks like Talbot getting the start, Kane out again tonight. Hope they can build off of that last 3rd period, Calgary coming off a loss. LGW

Sounds good, i'm not investing my time then if this is too much to ask for you to act like an adult.

Just pretty much in one ear and out the other. Going forward, on the general boards and in th GDTs, we will start using players names, not insults like a 10 year old like "Buttplug! Dildo! Dycknose!" and littered with all caps words will be considered disruptive posting and deleted. If it continues, it will be warnings, then suspensions. Re-read what I posted in the other topic if you are confused about not acting out on the main boards. If this is an issue, you guys can go back to the spam floods. I'm not reading this nonsense daily and committing to keeping the boards as free as spammers as I can. Thanks.

Good win tonight boys!

I'd support both of them as mods, and i'd tell Matt the same if we can get him here. You know I was never a tough mod, and I always tried to be neutral and fair unless I was drunk and people were sending me into PMs that I didn't know were PMs. I'd loosen up on the crap talking, I don't care if you guys wanna call each other names within reason. I wouldn't be opposed to saying start a Politics topic in the Water Cooler on a trial basis and I just won't look at it unless there's a report. Idk if he'd go for giving it over to me, or what this place costs monthly to run which would likely fall on me also, which is fine as long as it's not astronomical. But I want to keep the main forums, the GDTs civil, and on topic because we would need to aim to get people to start returning, or people to sign up again. Vote Mabus 2024, less homework for everyone and better meals too.

I feel like he knows this place is here, he runs it, and is just done with it at this point. It's slowed to a near halt and let's be honest, a few of you treat this place like an edgy teenager's Twitch stream and he decided to jump ship while we bled members. It's off putting when this place used to run on community rules and had conversation flow about hockey. That obviously doesn't go for all of you, but reading back on some of the s*** that was being posted here when I was away for a while and there was little to no mod staff was kind of absurd. I do encourage someone to reach out if you have him on socials, i've sent him messages on Xbox that go ignored. If you want this community to survive, show some respect for the site. We are hanging on by a thread.

I just cleaned all that up, my bad. Stop yelling at me. I don't really care at this point that i'm not allowed to post stuff from our moderator section. This was my last topic I made there, no replies. Note the date.

I noticed this topic but LGW had been offline so I couldn't reply. It's become pretty obvious that Matt is seemingly done with this place, along with the other mods outside of one rarely popping in. I've attempted contact with Matt for a few years with no reply, unfortunately he is the only one that can promote users to moderators. I'll commit to checking back here and trying to get involved again, clearing out the spam accounts and try to keep an eye on things if you guys still want me around. My only stipulation is I really want to keep political discussion and politics off the boards, this became an issue of why I left the first time around, I was the only one trying to regulate it and the normal users here refused to end politics here, I got tired of having to constantly remind people. That's where i'm at with it, if the politics can be kept at a minimum and we make an attempt to follow the guidelines of what LGW was long before the activity dropped off, i'll stop by here at least 3-4 times a week and try to be around for GDTs also. I'm also willing to loosen up a lot on certain things, stuff like users ragging on each other, as long as it's friendly enough, i'll toss "personal attacks" out the window unless it gets way out of hand. We've known each other long enough to know what to expect from each other by now, and i'm fine with that. Just let me know if you guys want me to be part of this going forward, I am on HFBoards a lot now because this place died off so fast when the team started sucking. I wouldn't mind being a regular around here again.

Well it's getting close to that time of the year where game releases of any value are far and few between before the fall releases come, what are you currently playing to pass the time? I'm currently playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer pretty regularly, and i'm about halfway through finishing the campaign on Insanity difficulty. I'm also on the side playing Halo Anniversary edition co-op online, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, and Monday Night Combat.

Playoffs??

This s*** is on TNT so probably no ESPN+ tonight I'll find a way. LGW!

This topic will be 10 years old in 3 months, good lord the memories skimming through. Miss this place a lot.

Tough loss, thought this was one we would take.

I am ridiculously excited for this kid to get here.

Full disclosure, just gonna be honest. I love this place and Matt was good enough to make me a mod. So many people have left, and the site continues to go down for months at a time. I think i've at this point moved onto HFboards. I seeming can't get a response to the state of the site, why it goes down, and basically every other mod has left by now. Surprisingly, I think we had a lot of fair weather fans here, and I get it, the Wings are really bad right now, but how far the activity has plummeted is disappointing to say the least. I thought a lot more people here would have stuck it out. We went from 15+ page GDTs to 15 replies. I have recently been battling alcoholism and it's been a very hard ride. My life right now is in jeopardy as a result, my liver is ruined. It made my tolerance drop, and I feel like i've been unfair here at times as a result. I always did my best to be fair and understanding. One time, a poster here pulled me into an ongoing private message and I was so drunk I didn't even realize it was a PM, and scolded and modded some people as a result and had no idea that it was exactly that, private. I had no place or reason to get involved and i'm sorry. I've been on an ongoing collapse but i'm getting better. I never wanted to see this site fall apart, but we all have lives, Matt has a family, the team is bad, and LGW isn't what it once was. I just want to apologize to anyone who may think my actions were a part of it. Maybe we can get up again and be what we once were, cool FlashyG GDTs, tons of people posting during games. Let's just do what we can to hold it together. Legit gonna be a softie here, but I love a lot of you guys and want to keep a hold here.

Might be the shortest GDT in the history of this site. Blashill is a bonehead with that 5:15 left in the 3rd goalie pull. Mantha is lazy and sucks. Zadina had a couple nice goals. Svechnikov had 4 points in 4 games, that's a positive, and that's all I got. Flush another one down the crapper, it's gonna be a long rebuild.

Rasmussen on the Taxi Squad, seems like Svechnikov still in, will post lines when available. I'm reading Brome, Rasmussen are up and Nielsen are down, 4th line of Brome - Rasmussen - Svechnikov? LGW!!

Svechnikov - Fabbri - Ryan Brome - Rasmussen - Mantha Zadina - Namestnikov - Gagner Helm - Glendening - Erne DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Djoos - Nemeth

Let's make it 3 in a row, hoping to see more from Svechnikov tonight. LGW!

Lines seem to be the same as last game, will update if that changes. LGW!
