I just want to say this with some holiday spirit...

I'm sincerely not trying to trigger anyone, especially Jello. We do have differing opinions on this player and it may sometimes seem I'm chucking daggers.

But it's just a real frustration for me to how this team imploded. I do tend to go off on rants because of that. I actually have way more contempt (if that's the right word) for management decisions and owner's direction.

It pains me to see an opportunity for us to get much better quickly, then hear them waffle on about pseudo-rebuilds or whatever after a series of "lucky" wins. Even analytics nerds can't deny this.

So yeah, what Don said. No offense to anyone. Just me doing my thing.

Ok, I'm out.

Talk about whatever you want Hank.

There is zero issue there.

Let's just not lob hand grenades at each other when a truce was laid out.

It's Christmas ffs.

Yeah, it's probably better for me just to calm down and enjoy a nog or two. Get ready for the WJC.

I'm giving and receiving no presents this year. Hope y'all are having more festive holidays.

Well, the flames didn't get a Christmas miracle for Expat, and Hawks couldn't pull off a win and give us 32nd for Christmas.

Brother, I feel you've given me a great present this Xmas.

Perspective.

Keep on giving, and you shall receive.

Merry Christmas.

Oh well, 1st overall draft pick will be worth it.

Rogers wanted him removed from Canucks games because they wanted homers gone from their broadcasting. He was given 2 choices, take the games we give you or retire.

They didn’t want non-Toronto homers on the broadcast is more likely.
