GDT #46 Capitals at Bruins @ 12:00

[alta]

Alright there computer genius. I admire your tech skills.

this from the guy that thinks the Caps hiring Beagle as a player is a realistic endeavor

[canadiancapman]

I thought his contract was up at the end of the year. One thing I was wrong about. One and only thing. Did you call the caps starting Grubauer and holtby coming in after and taking us all the way? Nope but I sure did.
 canucks would have gave the caps draft pics to take beagles contract on since he has another year at 3 mil.
You follow the caps and the caps only. You think it's a good idea to get rid of Carlson. Start watching other games instead of hanging out with your computer so much. You might learn something about this game you apparently like so much.

    Hey. There is no need to turn this into a Canada vs America thing. Both are great countries. America is our neighbor and our closest Ally. We are also huge trading partners. We depend on each other. Our countries are similar in alot of ways but they also have their differences. None of it makes one country better than the other.
      For the record I am talking to Canadiancapsman
     

[canadiancapman]

I haven't said one thing about America in this section.

[canadiancapman]

That was Alta that brought that up so don't put it on me.

    From reading Alta's comment you must have said something at one time.
I'm not picking sides. I am suggesting that you don't go there.

No, you implied I only know how to search for information.

I guarandamntee you I know more about this world than you do without having to look it all up. But you keep being proud that Canada was in on the two world wars from day one when you had zero choice as a direct sovereign of the crown. You still aren't independent of it.

and if you could comprehend what you read you'd know I don't hate Carlson. I hate his contract, and he is replaceable as a defenseman because he sucks at it.

One of my favorite players outside of this organization has been Iginla. I've been watching him since he was drafted. I do watch hockey outside of this town. I was at the Caps game when Iginla was here with Calgary at 499 goals, and you bet your ass I would've stood up and applauded if he got 500 here. I seriously doubt I would've been in the minority too, because that's the kind of fans in this town. I would've loved to see him here rather than Pittsburgh.

You claim to have travelled this country and been treated like shit. I can't imagine why when that's how you treat others.

[alta]

You are more than welcome to keep contributing your opinion here. If you can do it without insulting everyone. Because that's how Americans roll.


go review your last comment to Lil to figure that one out. I value her opinion far more than yours. She lives in in England and I gave her game day tickets without even have talked to her when she came to visit, because that's how we do things here.

      We still aren't independent? Yes we are. We have been since 1982. But you are correct we weren't independent during the first and 2nd world wars.
       Can we please not turn this into a debate about Canada and the US?  No one wants to hear someone else disrespect their nation.
        I completely understand you getting on the defensive. I would expect you to stand behind your country.
         You are a moderator here. So you can stop this before it gets too ugly.

yep, and notice I'm still giving him a chance to not be an ass. You may not remember some of his other posts, but I've got a great memory

[Chaos43]

     I've seen some of his posts. And I actually sent him a pm about it.
I do know that people don't like when others talk shit about their nation.say what you want about me but don't disrespect my country. And we shouldn't disrespect your country either.

Facts are facts. You don't know much about hockey and I'll leave it at that.
I'm not engaging in the Canada vs America debate. I have my opinion. You can have yours. I don't really care what you know about the world cause there isn't a way to prove who knows more.


Back to hockey talk. Simply watch more teams other than the caps before you bash them all the time.

       Actually I think most here are fairly educated in hockey. I haven't seen too many outrageous posts. Maybe members here are a bit bias. They think the refs and the league are against us. But that's the norm. You go to any message board for another team and it's the same thing.
       I try to not be bias but it's hard. Like every time Wilson gets a suspension I try find some reason to think that the league is against Wilson.
      Bottom line is that the members here know more about the game than you give them credit for.

The hate carlson gets is ridiculous, the hate Kuzy gets is a bit much. Every player isn't going to be at their best every game. Every time this team loses a few in a row, people are outraged and half the team should be traded. Relax!!!
It's easy to say the team won't win a cup when only one out of 31 wins and act as if you're a genius and should be running the team instead of McLennan.
Start talking about what moves you'd make instead of just everyone you'd trade away.

You were also invited to discuss your "facts" on the other side, I couldn't help but notice how you refused the invitation. That tells me you know your "facts" are suspect. But I think you already know that.






Chaos... Canada is officially listed as a constitutional monarchy. Who's the monarch?

You've said all this a couple times yet you can't seem to pull up any quotes to support your supposition. I wonder why.

How are we supposed to realistically talk about who we'd bring in when we, as fans, don't get the kind if information needed to make such hypothesis. That would be fiction, we do non fiction.

     We will always be part of the Commonwealth but we are completely independent now as of 1982. Before that when Britain declared war that meant Canada declared war. That isn't the case now. Britain has no hold on us at all.
      There are alot of commonwealth countries. Alot are probably in similar situations.
       The US could have been one of those countries too except for the American Revolution.
       You got your independence more than 200 years before us. Maybe we should have done that.  I think we would have gotten our asses kicked.

     Hey Alta. You do have to admit that Carlson isn't your favorite player. I don't think it's a secret.

Nova Scotia at a minimum, and possibly New Brunswick were supposed to be part of it. They backed out at the last minute, or had too many of the kings troops there to do so.


But still, when a country officially calls itself a constitutional monarchy but has no monarch. That tells me they aren't %100 independent of the crown. I'm not trying to start anything over this, just pointing out why I don't see the fully independent part.
