A Sacrifice to the hockey gods?

Re: A Sacrifice to the hockey gods?
Good points, Strange, but it still comes down to over-inflating Tuna's importance. If we declare it to be a true 'sacrifice', then we've elevated his worth beyond its true value. How can losing a Leaf fan really be a sacrifice?

Give me a pestle and I'll find a mortar.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

They can't be happy with us letting a flaming Leafer run amok...
btw one vote (Tuna's) must be deducted from the 'No' total

How have "the tables turned"?Island Nucklehead wrote: Tuna's troll game is strong and he should have been banned long ago. Mods kept him around to be used as a punching bag for his joke of a franchise.
Banning him now that the tables have turned would be poor form.
You haven't been drinking the water over there have you?
You were right in saying "he should have been banned long ago"
... WE NEED TO REPENT!!!

No matter, I’ll take that bet yesterday.
Should we say $20? I’m much more confident than that but $20 won’t get me riled up much when you inevitably welch on the bet. It’s more of a pride thing anyways. Even if I didn't follow hockey I'd jump all over this, what with the 100% inaccuracy of anything and EVERYTHING you've ever predicted regarding the Laughs.
Oh, and never mind the Canucks are at a disadvantage as they play in a better division.
Never mind the Canucks are at a disadvantage as they reside in the vastly superior Western Conference.
Never mind the Canucks are at a disadvantage because of a travel schedule that is infinitely worse and that, without a doubt, contributes to the team’s usually absurd amount of man-games lost most years.
That’s right, we won’t bother trying to handicap these disparities. I’ll give it to you straight up; however, if you are so cocksure of yourself and the Laughs, you can make up for these inequalities by sweetening the pot some. Let's say putting your future posting here at the Corner on the line as well. Not a complete banishment but when you lose, in addition to the $20, you don’t post anything even remotely leaves related here at the Corner again. Ever. Then the mods can go ahead and close this thread permanently unless Ol Paddy is going to take up the Laughs mantle or if Doc continues to need a outlet for his unbridled TO hatred.
So what say you? Are you ready to back up your jive-talking, jive turkey?
We are, at least for now, out of the downward spiral of a nine game losing streak (which is when this talk of turning Tuna into sashimi began) so I say no need to sacrifice the Tuna...at this point in time. I suggest we just let nature take it's course and, as usual, let Tuna take himself down. I hate to quote myself, but let's not forget he has placed a wager on this season that included his future posting at the Corner. Once the Canucks finish better than the leaves, he will be at the mercy of the Board and at nobody's fault but his own. As per the bet, it's not even a banishment, he just would be banned from Leaf trolling - which would kind of be great in itself. To come to your favourite trolling station and not be able to throw your line in the water but instead forced to wallow around these forums in pure indignity. However, if it comes to pass that the Board decides they want to bleed him out on the stone altar after losing said bet, it wouldn't make much difference because he never posts anything but Leaf garbage anyways. Truth be told, i don't think we see him much of him, if at all, should the leaves finish behind the Canucks.

Loving the fact that only 13 people bothered to respond -> LOL @ Tuna!!
(only 5 voted to put him out of his misery)
If he were a top-notch troll dozens would have voted to rip his heart out!
Tuna remains (until his inevitable meltdown?) so folks can continue to torture him slooowly.
Great hockey gods, you are a nasty lot!
