I have said for years that we suck because we don't have any Finns.

 

WTF that is I don't know.

 

We have struggle since Kimmo Timonen was traded and well we haven't had any on the big club and well we see the results you have to have at least one Lucky Finn if not you won't win.

 

They finally figured it out and drafted one this season and he may be a good one Samu Tuomala not sure if you are familiar with him but a speedy skilled winger.

 

 

Plus I miss one of my favorites...

 

Sami Kapanen!!!!

 

Welcome to the site.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum from another Finn .

 

Speaking of Finns, how has Hawks' Kevin Lankinen been doing this season? Last season he seemed to make quite a splash, but I don't see much of him this season. Fleury doing much of the work now, I guess, but what about Lankinen?

Lankinen not been great but not as bad as his stats make him look like

he has few really good games, where he has stood on his head,

been best player on the ice.

Thanks, its more the merrier i guess

Welcome. I'm a big fan of Finnish players, I have Barkov and Lundell in my Keeper. I think I would like the Finnish people and intend to visit one of these days. I think the Finnish people would like me too, which is more than I can say about most of the idiots here 

Thank you.

Winnipeg / Manitoba have big & strong roots what comes to Finland,

thanks to one Finnish Flash  

Not sure thou how your current team is handling with my kind, no offence,

I hate PoMo for starting it all

Yeah, Canadians and Finns tend to like each other, very similar folk i believe,

spirit and all, comes with cold harsh winters i guess

But in sports...we are not always as friendly to each other, but its sports,

nothing compared to real life, its big and important to us both, (hockey, sports)

but real life is still real life.

Yeah, i think its a good chance that i'd like Canadian person as well,

if i'd ever talked to one in person. One thing thou, you wouldn't

win me over by offering me a beer, i'm one of those weirdo Finns

who don't drink alcohol

What really irks me is that there are some good people there.  I don't mind having a debate with people on hockey topics but the moment a moderator enters the debate and takes the opposing point of view, consider yourself blocked. It's over. They immediately silence people as a tool to win whatever hockey argument they're having. 

 

Here's an example of how life at HFBoards goes, and this is not an exaggeration:

 

User: "Crosby is a better all around player than Ovie."

Mod: "Nobody will remember Crosby in 20 years. Ovie is light years ahead of him. Only a fool would think otherwise."

User: "You're calling me a fool? You're entitled to your opinion, but Crosby has the Stanley Cups and the Olympic gold to prove how good he is."

Mod: "You've received xx warning points. Infraction: Name calling. Attacking a moderator. Suspension: permanent"

------

 

(the end)

 

This is so true.

I went back to HFBoards again for a few weeks (wanted more Leafs chat and activity) but got banned for the second time today (lol).... for the same reason as last time: having an opinion different from that of a moderator. I didn't break any forum rules but they just banned me to silence me. So I see nothing has changed there. It's still the sh_thole I remember it being. It's an absolute crime that they have so many users there. I'm wondering how many are really just re-opened accounts from banned users?

 

Example: If they say they have 1,000,000 users, I'm guessing over 900,000 of those are dead/banned accounts and the same people keep creating new accounts to get around the obscene and petty moderation.   

 

 

Yeah, moderators there are not good people, most of them anyways are not.

- not impartial anyways

Thanks to you all from the reply's. Felt like a warm welcome.

I might have few, who'd probably join if i'd ask

Yeah, it was great place, it sort of still is, but not really,

it has just gotten so big, just hoping that Canucks official

message boards never folds  - because 100 000+ Canucks

fans would brake any board  just kidding.

But if most was to migrate to HFBoards, it couldn't handle

the amount of new members, it already haves 300 000+ members,

another 100 000+ would push it close to half million.

I mean, there are 150 000+ Leafs fans alone, in the HFBoards,

most came after the Leafs official message boards folded.

You as well 18th December? cool!. December IS the best month

Yeah, photograph is close to my heart and i'm good at it i guess.

Oh he DOES NOT suck grrrrrr

Hi. Newbie (rookie) here.

| I'm still a vacant member at the HFBoards, so i haven't completely left that place.

- man that is so toxic place these days, staff bullies members and vice versa, fans bully fans,

and the advertisement bombardment and the ever changing rules... that place has grown too large |

Hows things here?

Hawks boards here still alive?

I'm about 40, male, from Finland, you can call me AJ,

into lots of sports, most actually , but hockey & football (aka soccer) the #1 & #2

After about 20 years, i got back to school last year,

studying to become a professional baker. (3 years)

Ive been an amateur photographer for 10+ years

and i'm some sort of artist lol ( tried to be anyways ) 

I'm a easy going, honest, cool dude, who passionately likes all sports
