Great guy with a lot on his plate. - Farts in an elevator... Tolerable. If you're chewing gum or something and grit your teeth convincing yourself "you'll live" everything will be just fine. In a car, when a woman cuts loose a silent one and doesn't say anything. My God, I just about gag. Opening the windows late just means it's going to get caught in my hair or pores for Christ sake and minutes will go by as I hope my damn eyes will stop watering. Farts when meds or something is causing them. Get used to it, welcome to old age. - Drove by Reid's last Friday night 3-4 times. I'm hardly ever in St. Paul. Partly grew up around there though off Hodgson. Lived off East 7th for a bit in my 20's... Anyway, the girl toy made a cake for a co-worker and while she ran it in to Patrick McGovern's Pub I kept going around a few blocks unable to find parking and not willing to look too hard. We weren't planning on lingering around. Maybe one of you guys know of it. It was a two tier Groom's party cake... For a Wild fan. It was fancied up with the Wild trees, #8 and a pair of skates on top. - Confrontational... These guys are too rich for your blood. They have character, will, determination, pride and enjoy just about everything hockey brings them in whatever form. For them it's not just an interest level it's a pure enjoyment level. Kind of like when you blow your nose instead of just eating the boogers and licking your fingers. Maybe you can relate to that. Would I ever meet these guys? Sure. It's very hard though as I'm over an hour away from the Excel (to say the least) but I've made it there a couple times over the past couple years and so far dragging the girl toy along on journey's like that, well let's just say they've been her company’s corporate suites I've been a guest in... And if I didn't have to drag a woman along with me (wait, I guess that could be construed as the other way around)... If the girl toy didn't drag her boy toy to the games I'd have freedom to wander around more and act like a normal citizen as opposed to a stuffy goodie two shoes. Hanging around with some chicks at sporting events is sometimes worse than being constipated... If you know what I mean. It would be like hanging around confrontational for eight to ten minutes. Not very joyful, ya know? Otherwise I'd be there a ton more.

Its your perogative to post what opinions you wanna post and I could care less as I skim over most of it but its kind of silly to assume that someone isn't going to respond when they're constantly being called out or slandered no matter who's the one slinging the mud in this circumstance between all of you. You obviously do have the time or you would have dropped it by now instead of egging it all on everyday for how long now? As for the "whenever someone new comes to the forum" stuff we've heard it all time and time again... that "little birdy" is most likely someone who has had problems with one of them in the past trying to make a message board ally out of you in thier crusade against the "message board mafia". I'm not super old on this forum.. only probably 3-4 seasons now and although there was some ribbing when I first started posting I never caught the flack some of the people do lately and I wonder why that is? Either the "message board mafia" completely missed me as a new board member, I was given a Granlund/Shep style free pass or the whole ideal of the "MBM" existing is false. I don't buy the "everyone is out to get me" mentality some people come in here with .. because between all of these rants and e-fights over my time here there has been new people popping up and contributing with no problems from the older members at all. I've disagreed with LiG and Rotten a number of times myself and its never got personal.. infact, I've come to enjoy thier posts and insight even if its something I don't personally agree with or hold the same opinion on.. maybe its time to ask yourself why are you getting all of this flack when alot of the other newbies aren't and and alot of us haven't in the past when we were new? or you can keep on assuming everyone here is one of thier "lap dogs" as you so kindly put it just for having an opinion that is similar to thiers or doesn't agree with yours. 1 person likes this huff5328 · All-Star Forward · · · Members · 101 · 5,866 posts Posted September 20, 2013 · Report post Agree with Soulfly, kinda hard to feel for you Confrontational when you're digging at these guys with every post.

ClusterChuck Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I always enjoyed the little battles between people and glad to see them continue. I always liked to go back the the GDT and watch the transition of emotions throughout the game and how during it the sidetracks of recipes, Personal stories and so on. The pics, Gifs and photoshops too. I know they still go on now but because of my schedule etc, I still have to record the game and watch it after it has started. Also having fans from other teams (Edmonton in particular) show up to discuss things. That was fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargocase Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I used to be a "bad fan" because I so wanted the Wild to keep improving.

So many players have come and gone. So many posters. Makes me really miss the old Pollyanna fans. Nuck trolls, foreign fans of specific countrymen, and actual NHL fans who knew the game.

I still recall meeting you for some pre-game where the Children's Museum is currently located at at that pre-season game in Season #2; we played the Calgary Flames. I remember when Socodawgs jumped onto the Wild.com boards, I didn't really tear into him as much as I told him I didn't forget about what he did as a mod. He immediately jumped off the boards after that. He is the only person that I can say without just empty anecdotes from other places that I know I scared off.

Fargocase Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Here's a Tom Reid's war story. Me and my son Matt were there when he about 10. Talking to other Wild fans. A guy came up and wanted to trade tix. About row 6, sec 115, season tix. I don't remember where our tix were but not nearly as good. Why? Because he was a great guy and wanted the kid to have a great time. So we're in Bill's seats (whatever his name was) and people all around Bill's seats talk to us. In warm-ups a lady grabs Matt, goes down to the photo hole in the glass and hollers some Wild player, "Give the kid a puck!" Some player comes over and gives him a puck. Let the Haters hate, but that incident defined the Wild organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseAndAssist Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 As I was listening to Martin St. Louis' induction speech, I couldn't help but remember at that pre-season game against the Flames, St. Louis was playing in that game! That was where it all started for him...not because of any of us, but interesting to be at that point in his career. You and I caught all kinds of flak for not being Wild homers on Fanhome. I remember the ad nauseum discussion how this franchise was profiteering and fielding a bargain basement roster when it didn't need to. If you read Mike Lynn's book, you could tell he had a strong aversion to the organization ever spending any $$$. MNSOTA deserves the credit for introducing me to everyone at Fanhome. I remember when I'd get told, your wife is nice, but you are such an %sshole! At times MNSOTA would ask me to stop causing problems...oh well, to the good ol' days!

And "Don't mortgage the future." What was so stupid is we were talking about signing UFAs! There was absolutely zero logic in that. UFA's have no future penalty, other than the Cap Hit, and the Wild had such a low payroll a half dozen expensive UFAs wouldn't have mattered!

Yea, happy to have the NHL back was worthy of the Common Man's "IALTO" (I Always Love That One) line. Yea, don't mortgage the future was also a wonderfully sad argument about spending money on free agents when you were a bottom 5 team in payroll. Damn, you and I had to deal with a small army of fools who tried to tell us to drink the company Kool-Aid. You are right, it was Allan Walsh that got Gaborik AND Dupuis to hold out in 2003-04. Dupuis ended up taking a lesser offer when the team was more than happy to let him sit and then when he came back he sucked. I don't think I laughed so hard at anything on the boards more than the quip someone had about Dupuis being unable to drop a piece of candy in a Halloween pumpkin / bucket because his aim was so poor. For whatever reason I could literally picture that happening and him standing their and sighing at how he missed yet again. Then Gaborik...came back later too, this time for the same offer the team made him in the summer after he canned Walsh. People used to give me crap about 'having a blog that no one reads' when I started, and at some points I wondered if that was true until I got a comment from Allan Walsh about something I said about Gaborik a few years later. I don't even remember precisely what he said other than he tried to correct me on something. And I was like, hey aren't you the jackhole that got Gaborik to hold out? So many good memories there. And yes, it was contentious, because Fanhome and the Wild.com boards were their own sort of turf. But the modding over at fanhome became oppressive and they kind of morphed into a Go Wild Go place or your not welcome. I know I was suspended multiple times for simply disagreeing with people too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargocase Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I always liked Dupuis! Yeah, it was hilarious when he let one rip from the faceoff circle and missed the net by 10 feet! People used to really rag on him in Gameday threads! In the Wild's first year a poster came on and posted about Dupuis, before he had made the Wild. I didn't know anything about him, I think he went undrafted because he broke a leg or something late in his junior career. Anyway, this female fan of his piqued my interest so I looked him up and followed his career closely, starting when he was in the AHL. I never met the girl, but we corresponded on the boards. She wasn't another Puck Bunny postimg silly chit about his hair... You could tell she was French by the way she posted. I had a mental picture of her as a young cutey with a darling French accent! It might have been Dupuis' Mom or Gramma. but in my mind's eye she was a hot young French chick! I remember an argument with a Dupuis hater from way back then. Said it was an absolute fact that Dupuis would never, NEVER score 20 goals again! Of course, it took Pascal several years to make it to Crosby's wing, but that's one case where I'd love to throw an "I TOLD YOU SO!" back into that hater's face. Other than from the AV's official NHL board, I have never been banned anywhere. And that was a totally bogus ban, I wasn't flaming anyone, they had some total Nazi Mods that refused to allow anything anti-Avs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was a totally bogus ban, I wasn't flaming anyone, they had some total Nazi Mods that refused to allow anything anti-Avs. Sounds like the old Vancouver Canucks boards. Wouldn't allow any email addresses from Hotmail.com or gmail.com and only positive things about the Canucks...like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupuis was undrafted, and you're right...a broken leg was at the heart of that story. Then he did really well with the Cleveland Lumberjacks (as did Richard Park) but the IHL and the Lumberjacks folded after that first year (2000-01). A few IHL teams joined the AHL like Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Chicago and Houston...but most of their league disappeared shortly thereafter. Dupuis' strange tendency in 2003-04 was to skate just inside the blueline and blast a slap shot...often when he had the room to take it in closer he didn't...he just cannonaded a shot 10-feet wide and turn it over. It drove me and many others crazy. After the hold out, I wanted nothing to do with him. Then he got some better, more scoring roles on Atlanta and later Pittsburgh and his career took off. We still have a puck with his autograph on it at our house; and I got another Pascal Dupuis signed puck from a podcast I listen to out of Iowa believe it or not (they happen to have one big Pittsburgh fan on it).

It was so easy and simple, yet I can't even remember the protein source. It was my go to for a few months. I'd gladly share it again if you remember what it is!

It seemed like just about ever few months there had to be a major message board pissing match. The plethora of people just sitting back and watching it all unfold...
