BamBam Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I say we adopt a new rule... No more apologizing for posting an Ecklund Rumor. You shouldn't have to say "Well..Its Eck but here goes" or.."I shouldn't post this cause its eck, but this is what he's saying now" Half the people on this board realize its entertainment, and the other half can't stand the guy. For those that find him entertaining just post the rumor, and don't apologize for it. Its the other half that need to build a bridge and get over it. At the end of the day its "Entertainment". Nothing more...Nothing less. Seriously...we all knew that if Eck was right about his rumors over the last two years we would have had a kick a$$ team. Doesn't mean that its not cool to think..."What If" Thats the whole identity of the city, and the major identity of this board. Its what we deal in everyday...What If?
Hawerchuk Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Agreed. BTW, how the heck does Eck even have a job? None of his predictions ever seem to come true. Amazing.
Bmwolf21 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I agree the apologizing is unnecessary, but the rumors definitely need to be sourced so we know whether to take them with a grain of salt or to generally ignore them altogether.
shrader Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I agree the apologizing is unnecessary, but the rumors definitely need to be sourced so we know whether to take them with a grain of salt or to generally ignore them altogether. Speaking of unnecessary, how about this thread?
2ForTripping Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Agreed. BTW, how the heck does Eck even have a job? None of his predictions ever seem to come true. Amazing. Kind of like a politician, lie through your teeth and keep on going, hope the people buy it and get on to the next load of manure.
plenzmd1 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 this may have been posted before, but love when ECK is on the XM 204. He is on for twenty minutes spoutin all kind of rumors, comes up with none he focuses on,, then Boomer will come on say something to the effect: what a load of crap, that will never happen" . Funniest thing on the radio
Goodfella25 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 So, if I make a blog and post baseless nonsense, you guys will discuss it day in and day out because it's fun to think "what if"?
inkman Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 At the end of the day its "Entertainment". Nothing more...Nothing less. I like Excretainment, or Entertainshit, Misinfotainshit, Clickonmywebsiteandhelpmegetpaidbitches.
will Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 well, as long as you put the word "eck" in the title or subtitle, so i know not to bother clicking on it, then no apology necessary. if "eck" is missing from the thread description in any way, and i find out after wasting my time clicking on it that it's an eck rumor, then you definitely owe an apology. thankyougoodbye.
Bmwolf21 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Maybe we should just keep a running Eklund thread so his crap is contained to one thread. Just a thought.
BamBam Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Posted June 28, 2008 I think his rumors need to be separate. This way we can add up the all-star calibur players that should be on our team. And I'm also good with posting "From Eck" in the subject line. If you don't want to read it, no harm...no foul.

And I'm also good with posting "From Eck" in the subject line. If you don't want to read it, no harm...no foul. My preference would be all Eklund in one thread, because every day he throws a ton of crap at the wall hoping something will stick. Plus if it's all in one thread it's much easier to keep track of the rumors rather than jumping from one thread to another. Just my unsolicited two cents.
nfreeman Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Speaking of unnecessary, how about this thread? So true. And yet, here we are!
Two or less Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Agreed. BTW, how the heck does Eck even have a job? None of his predictions ever seem to come true. Amazing. Because he's right 1% of the time and yet when he posts a new rumor, people get super excited, make new threads and visit his web site. lol

Plus if it's all in one thread it's much easier to keep track of the rumors rather than jumping from one thread to another. Just my unsolicited two cents. Oh, come on, it's far more entertaining to see a separate thread for each player/rumor. How else are we going to keep the Datsyuk and Zetterberg for Miller, Tallinder, Enroth, and 2 1st rounders straight from Tucker and Sundin negotiating rights for a used bag of pucks (or Andro if you must know his name). When somebody posts "he's nuts, that'll never happen" w/out hitting the reply or quote button it'll really kill some momentum as that could work as a reply for 99%+ of them.

And what else would Bam Bam post about if he couldn't start his twice daily Ecklund thread?
BamBam Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Posted June 29, 2008 And what else would Bam Bam post about if he couldn't start his twice daily Ecklund thread? I'd be lost. I've made a vow not to bash management, or vanek, so without Eck I'd be screwed. I view my Eck postings as a service to this board. It gives us fans hope who believe that theres some that really does exist with this team. Sabres 08-09 Season...."WHAT IF?"
Eleven Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 I think his rumors need to be separate. This way we can add up the all-star calibur players that should be on our team. And I'm also good with posting "From Eck" in the subject line. If you don't want to read it, no harm...no foul. Agreed but for different reasons...I need to read the rumor when it IS from Eklund, so I can laugh. No fun reading other rumors, really.
Bmwolf21 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 On the other hand, I fully support an immediate ban if someone posts an Eklund rumor and doesn't tag it as such.
ROC Sabres Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 On the other hand, I fully support an immediate ban if someone posts an Eklund rumor and doesn't tag it as such. Does this go for individual posts or the opening of a thread?
Bmwolf21 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Does this go for individual posts or the opening of a thread? Just whomever posts the Ek rumor without telling the source... :nana: Actually, to be honest - any rumors people post should be sourced in some form, whether it be a link or quick note on who said it and on what radio/tv show...
