[sydnikov]

Ooh she big mad 🌝 "I ain't reading all that" and it's a post that's less than 300 words is wild... Guess she knew she had no good response :(

And unlike this pos Avalanche fan, I am not going to assume that all of them are like this just because of one experience

[sydnikov]

Yk I do really miss the Aho-Necas OT connection right about now

@blood-sweat-and-100-bears blocked me because I called them out for slandering the Hurricanes fans over the Rantanen trade.

The hard truth is not neither fanbase is responsible for this trade. It's an innate part of professional ice hockey, and there's nothing we could've done to prevent it.

If you're mad that Chris McFarland traded Rantanen to us, that's fine. But you need to direct your anger toward McFarland. Dragging in personal experiences and an online incident from a few years ago to cast every Hurricanes fan as a miscreant is the very definition of childish—no different that a child screaming because they didn't get their way.

We are all here because we love ice hockey and should have basic respect for each other. If you can't handle that simplest of tasks, maybe you need to find a new hobby.

Blocking someone for giving you a truth you don't want to hear is insane. You know very well that every fanbase has its shitty people and that whoever edited that wiki of Pasta are just low lives. I remember that incident vividly and it was never even confirmed a canes fan did it to begin with. The bad apples do not accurately represent the rest of us at all, especially who live in NC and have been fans for years. I'm sorry for whatever poor experiences you've had at our arena to make you think we're all bad, but to put it blankly, it's very ignorant of you to continue to assume and act like we're all awful people, or something.

Hockey is a business. Businesses want money. You're allowed to be upset over losing one of your favorite players, I'm sad about Neci and Jack, but the reality of it is that this happens, and will continue to. Do you see me attacking the Avs fans that are excited about getting two amazing guys? I'm not telling you to "eat a bag of dicks" or calling your fanbase "trash", am I? Especially when @/hanaaishi wasn't being rude towards you in the slightest. We do not deserve to have your anger placed on us for being happy about a superstar coming here, place it on your GM instead who actually made it happen.

I'm very happy that Mikko is here now. I hope one day you'll be just as happy about getting Necas and Drury, despite the fact it came at a cost. I assume I'm getting blocked after this, too, but hopefully you take my words into consideration 👋

Expecting H*rricanes fans to be kind and not giant assholes is honestly asking too much.

This is the same fanbase that edited David Pastrňák's Wikipedia page to say that he shot his infant son (who died days after being born) in the head after something he did in a game that they disagreed with.

Fuck all of them and I'm over it.

I hope Mikko leaves that fuckass organization as soon as possible.

[sydnikov]

okay.. for all the canes fans here's a quick Mikko rundown

^thats him.

Back to back 100 point seasons, back to back to back 90 point seasons. He has the record for most goals scored in a season for the Avs, 7th all time point scorer, 6th all time goal scorer in avalanche history. 619 games played 682 career points. He was the leading goal scorer and second in points for the avs this season! (Part of the reason the trade blindsided us) He's a really good hockey player.

His number is 96, but I guess that may change now. He chose it because Crosby was his favorite player growing up so, like Sid, he went with his birth year. He was with the Avs for a decade, was their first round draft pick in 2015. He was an alternate captain and a lot of signs pointed to him being their captain if Gabe never came back. His nickname is moose. He's not a very physical player, never had a 5min major or suspension or gone gloves off, despite the fact he's a 6'4" giant and will absolutely scuffle with people he doesn't fight. He's also incredibly silly and kind hearted and full of love. And he falls a lot on the ice, he's like a baby deer. Or moose.

There he is... my boy.

Everyone who talks about him talks about how he's incredibly nice and friendly, the reporters even gave him a homemade award for "media tolerance"

He's also, uhm, not bad to look at.

Please be kind to him 🙏🙏🙏

Also. And this will be my last post of the night about this whole thing, but y'all—WE STILL NEED A GOALIE 😭😭😭 Andersen will most definitely get injured again (and also he's just slow, could tell when watching him) and PK might not be far off if he's forced to start every night

[sydnikov]

Sigh

[sydnikov]

I loved Necas as a person, but I wasn't always a huge fan of him as a hockey player. When hot he was amazing, the problem was that he was never consistent, and that's what the team saw too—Rantanen, however? Helluva player. I'd choose him over Necas and Drury any day

[sydnikov]

"go to hell" is basic. "i hope tony deangelo signs with your favourite metro division team" is smart. it's possible. it's terrifying. it's happened to 50% of us

[sydnikov]

I'm literally at my college's hockey game trying to process all of this

[sydnikov]

????!?!??
