Wasn't that Brett Hull, said when they were told in 2001-2 that the Wings were too old to win a cup? I believe he said it to Chris Chelios. I'm going from memory here. I could be wrong. 2 Branton87 and Rivalred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pens fans are very knowledgeable, and unbiased. Lol. In the 26 hours you have belonged to our dear site, you have shown nothing but how unknowledgeable and biased you are.

Branton87 77 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Lol. In the 26 hours you have belonged to our dear site, you have shown nothing but how unknowledgeable and biased you are. Lets hope that you are not an accurate depiction of the fan base as a whole. I know a couple of Pens fans IRL and they're actually quite knowledgeable. Now the Hawks "fans" I've met/talked to have no idea wtf they're talking about. I'm willing to bet that 90% of Chicago's fans don't even know that there's a regular season.

dobbles 252 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 calgary puck is a pretty good site. i have been over there for several years. they have a lot of very knowledgeable fans. they have 2 problems: 1)a decent amount of people there have an irrational hatred of the wings based on jealousy. though most people can be impartial, whenever the wings play the flames several trolls come out of the woodwork and can make it rough. 2)after their great run in 04 they havent won a playoffs series and even choked away their playoff spot last year. its made their fan base very bitter. so they have a civil war going on over people that are still supportive and those that want to see the whole org blown up and rebuilt. so they often fight amongst themselves.

T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 I frequent a Leafs forum that's quite good leafscentral.co.uk, only other forum I visit regularly. I'm also a member of Calgary Puck but haven't posted there much, same goes for HFBoards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 Wasn't that Brett Hull, said when they were told in 2001-2 that the Wings were too old to win a cup? I believe he said it to Chris Chelios. I'm going from memory here. I could be wrong. It was a post-game press conference and a member of the media asked Hull about him and Igor and their goals in game 3 of the SCF. He was recalling something he said to Iggy prior to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Offsides 21 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 I belong to a number of other teams fan sites -- although I don't visit them much -- under this same username...because I wouldn't troll. Some are okay, most tend to be boring. I haven't been around to any of them lately though...have enough to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACallToArms 270 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah, I know. I once thought about doing a 29 forums in 29 days thing, where I'd try to get banned from all 29 forums around the NHL. Then I found out about this rule on LGW about not trolling on other teams' forums, so I never did it. I wonder why we have a rule on LGW, which controls what members do on other forums? I mean is it really the mods business what I do on the rest of the internet? It isn't the mods business what you do around the rest of the Internet. However, this is Matt's site, and he can pretty much do whatever he wants. I'm sure he doesn't want his site to get a reputation of having its members troll other people's sites. No reason to turn this in the hockey version of 4chan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 This. Also, if the members of the other forum discover that the trolling is coming from an LGW member, it tends to cause them to sign up here to retaliate. Trust us, retaliatory trolling is about the last thing we need around here. To get back to the OP's question, LGW is a member site of the Hockey Alliance, which has links to blogs and forums for several other teams as well. You might be able to find a few good sites there too. That's what I always assumed it was. For every Wings fan who goes to another site to troll, it probably brings them tenfold to this site. of course Matt can't control what people do on other websites. But I completely understand him wanting to get rid of people here who basically bring a bunch of trolls to his website through their actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 The way I see it is if you feel the need to act out on your right to go to some other forum and be a jerk, then the mods here are more than welcome to act out on their rights to be jerks to you and ban you.
