Army's next move of Desperation (Filling the 2C)

Post by a smell of green grass »

Tis the season for the Chief to fill the most glaring roster hole as soon as possible. Get our your desperation meter, folks. The mother lode is coming.

We all know how the desperate moves ultimately pan out. Last year, we drafted Jiricek in Round 1. The fans had been promised something to make us forget Pietrangelo, and all we got was a defense that grew older and worse every year. Five Perunovich years had solved nothing. Desperation hung over the defense like a perpetual puck in the crease. So Army drafted the oft-injured Jiricek because he can skate like a Superstar. Buium was gone because the Blues "stay competitve" to avoid all the problems that come with a "losing culture". One year later, where do we sit? With Jiricek in the medical waiting room, watching Buium on YouTube videos.

This year, the desperation is over the 2C position. Our draft position is bad, so the desperation can't be solved that way. Instead, Army is going to resort to the massive overpay for a veteran fix. Make a note in your calender 2 years out. When you are asking yourself how we got saddled with YET ANOTHER expensive, declining veteran for 3 more years, remember Army's desperation in May 2025.

There isn't one center in this draft that will be playing in the NHL next season.

You need some uppers.

This is just getting boring. Time for a new name, a new character with a new shtick.

I have never advocated for others using the foe feature. I used to get so bored when 16W and a whole slew of others would constantly complain about quoting bleeder because they ignored him and didn't want to see his posts. I have no problem with bleeder so never understood. Now I do. Not going to tell you what to do and I'm not going to ask people to stop quoting this booger eater (lots of others already have taken that) but you should consider.

And I've mentioned this more than once but you should have seen his act on current affairs. You think this nonsense is bad, it was a giant joke over there. His schtick there was and impending civil war. Always touting it and his tag line (much like his army tag lines here) was "Choose your side wisely." He denies it but he's lying, like he does here. I know there are others here who can verify. I'm guessing batolli saw it when he posted there. Brummer for sure saw it. There is a chance that Burton and Aesa remember. Just paints a good pic of what you are dealing with.

And it's never going to stop. It's like the infected in Last of Us. It's just going to continue to spawn.

In a 12-month span, the knucklehead Armstrong transformed the Blues top three centers from Stastny, Berglund and Lehtera to Schenn, O'Reilley and Bozak.

I'll hang up and be sure to ignore your next spewing of ignorance.

Does reality just pass you by every day? You must live in an alternate universe, because the one you write about doesn’t exist. At least not in context to what you post. I will just keep saying it, no one can willingly be this obtuse. You either have to work for the P-D and prostitute yourself for clicks, or you are in dire need of psychological assistance.

I've reached the point where I think he has to be a mod or as you said, works for the PD and is just trolling the board in order to troll, ehhh, the PD? It wouldn't surprise me if he is Dierker. Something about the way Dierker composes his diction is very similar to green funk. Because while their anti-spam/troll prevention systems aren't unbeatable, they are fairly advanced, at least in terms of message board security. They not only match footprints from one account to another, they do IP reputation lookups which typically means you have to either spend money to get clean, residential-based IPs, or you spend hours searching through VPN/proxy network IPs to find usable ones, or the easy one, you have a backdoor in because you're the site's admin.

The first two options actually require time and effort and/or money and you would have to be a mentally deranged person to waste months of your life trying to convince a bunch of dudes who obviously don't care about your ideas. Additionally, I've been banned about 10x for the most inconsequential ridiculous garbage like posting a reply in a thread that someone else started and was later considered political. Yet somehow this guy has been reported thousands of times without reproach yet continues to have several hours a day to waste on this place?

Something doesn't add up. lmao

I would say "stranger and stranger", but it's all been equally strange.

People spend their completely finite energy and attention in patterns that bring them something.
You absolutely cannot control another person with words on a forum and you definitely can't get them to change if you insult them as a person

Some people say "this person's standards are low, they don't care about that, so I don't have to care about it either" and they just reply to the person they perceive as craving negativity and go on with their day and the cycle continues. Obviously the original person is getting something out of the negative attention. I have a guess: negative attention is still attention.

I'm trying something a little different since as was referenced the tactic of calling out everyone who responds is also unworkable, but also just giving up and letting things slide into cesspool degrades the legitimate experience of the other 100+ people here. So my approach has been: Positive attention to the person, negative attention to the ideas, BUT ALSO a relatively limited shelf life in responding substantively each day a new thread is posted. BUT ALSO not a long memory so that the person has room to start fresh any time.

The reason for not a long memory is this, and I think it goes to the thesis of the OP which is: something in the past was painful and it's inappropriate go just go on like it never happened. Here's what wisdom the OP overlooks. Everything changes, the nature of life is change. You cannot get a single emotion that you have to stay fixed, you cannot. And that has the result of, over time, making the past full of both misery and pleasure you can't touch. You have to leave the present some room to change because it's natural law.

Invariably it leads with a false premise.
