Xray Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 It was surprising to see a post about passing plays leading to a lot of scoring for the Sabres in the last 3 games. Sadly reading that thread didn't give me a feeling that I'd be escaping Hockey Speak anytime soon. The very first time a Sabre tries making a passing play that fails it won't take two seconds for some parrot to start blabbering that crap about being "too cutesy" and how passing plays do not working today's NHL. All I needed to do was open that Vanek thread and there it was, I was hit with another dose of Hockey Speak. No, there cannot be a post speculating on what would have happened with those four 1st rounders without someone reciting that same lame speech about how the Sabres had no choice. The worse part of it is that even though each and every chapter in the book of Hockey Speak has been parroted 10,000 times, for some reason there's a need to drone through the entire mantra. You get the strong feeling that whoever's posting actually believes they're conveying something original. What's really happening is that the reader's heard it so many times that he's puking his guts out. And no matter how illogical the Hockey Speak gets, there's no challenging it without being the target of personal attacks, you'd be threatening the 'knowledge base' they've worked so hard to earn listening to sources like wgr. Ther's no shortage of parrots and no getting rid of Hockey Speak, but what about shorthand?... Example: Hockey Speak_Vanek: Breir/Drury lost, had no choice blah blah Hockey Speak_Zubrus: best player down stretch, Jagr blah blah Hockey Speak_Scoring: post lockout , different NHL, Cutesy doesn't work blah blah Hockey Speak_Roy: trade for "true #1 center"/ Marleau blah blah Hockey Speak_Roy: "won't do what Lindy wants" blah blah Hockey Speak_Grier: Leader in Locker Room blah blah Hockey Speak_Goose: there's more hockey than playing hockey blah blah Hockey Speak_Insult#1: time to do your homework blah blah Hockey Speak_Insult#2: living in mother's basement blah blah I'd much rather see "blah blah" as a queue to skip past it, because unless you've just started following the Sabres yesterday you already know what's coming.
Xray Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Let me guess what I'll see if I read a series of your posts, as if I don't already know.

Calvin Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i've no idea where the post was going.. maybe it's just me :rolleyes:
Stoner Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 something about this seems familiar.... It's almost like I can see right through this.
nfreeman Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Is there a point to this thread, other than to demonstrate how an unwanted troll can simply re-enlist with a new handle?

I love the fact that what we do here makes you so upset that you feel you have to start a new thread to tell us. I really do. It makes me SO happy knowing that you are so miserable.

Either mods couldn't do it or he moved from the public library to the terminal in the AV club at school.

Perhaps some exercise -- ya know, get out of the house -- could help clear your head. Tennis? Good things happen when you go to the net.

Stoner Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Running in traffic is always a good option too. I'm sure Wilbur would agree. You'd have to ask his owner.
Ohiofan Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 You'd have to ask his owner. I almost hit a squirrel today. Swerved at the last minute but I missed.
Taro T Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I almost hit a squirrel today. Swerved at the last minute but I missed. Well, next time, step on the gas as you swerve and you should be able to hit it clean. ;)
