A wise person, in my view, would mind their own business in consentual trades that do not involve you.

Nobody minded their own business. Opinion was 100% that it was a bad trade (for different reasons).

So stuff your crap about it being just me.

What happened to 1, 2, 3, 4 things wrong with the league?

There was nothing wrong with what I did. When Boo gave his reason, I immediately told him that is not a valid reason and offered to undo the trade with his word. He didn't reply and you kept insulting and calling me a cheater, so I undid the trade anyway. Still no recognition from you, you kept the insults coming intentionally pushing buttons you knew would set me off.

Bull****.

Due to a combination of you being inexperienced and really uncreative with hockey pools and your incessant need to give everyone your opinions of trades, it became a big deal. You put on your holier-than-thou cap for the 2nd time this season, incorrectly labeling me a cheater for the 2nd time as well, and then spewing personal insults you knew would set me off. All for a trade that would've benefited Huet.

Incorrect the first time, child, and I apologised for that (something you have consistently ignored).

Not incorrect the second time.

I have you dead to rights, in my opinion, and you are simply too stupid to know that the longer you keep this up the longer the taint of cheat will hang on your sorry, dumb ass.

[notyoueither]

In fact, you've moved a passing spat that would have been forgotten by almost all into a holy crusade that is unlikely to be forgotten by many for a very long time.

Congratulations. You're a first class moron.

[Asher]

6 posts in quick succession filled to the brim with personal insults.

Your desperation and rampant activity speaks volumes.

You lied, and you were caught, and now you're upset because I'm calling you out. Deal.

[notyoueither]

You're the rube that people are saying cheated, child.

You really have no clue, do you?

[Asher]

The two people who are saying I cheated were the people who stood to gain most by my leaving the league, and I don't find that to be coincidental.

[notyoueither]

The more you type, the more people will read about this mess, child. The more they will dig to get to the bottom of it.

It's not just two people, in case you hadn't noticed.

As for your vain hopes of winning the league...

You blamed Ninot for losing, didn't you? What would you have done? Changed settings so that people threatening you couldn't compete?

[notyoueither]

Oh wait, you did. You locked teams as you had your second hissyfit.

That explains why you really want me to stop bringing it up, I take it.

It's not just two people, in case you hadn't noticed.

And yeah, it is. I've gotten PMs from other people in the league, several of them have said publically they had no problem with my action -- just Boo's reasoning. It's you and joncha that have repeatedly stated I cheated, no one else, but you are tyring to avoid that by continually stating "everyone" said it, even after being corrected.

I thought he made some roster changes wouldn't have. Markov comes to mind.

[notyoueither]

I'm sure you've gotten PMS.

On a different note...

Avery confronts NHL broadcaster Hayward

Sean Avery

Canadian Press

4/8/2006 11:13:10 AM

LOS ANGELES (CP) - Sean Avery can't seem to get enough of the spotlight.

The Los Angeles Kings player had a heated verbal exchange with Anaheim broadcaster and former NHL goalie Brian Hayward in the dressing room Friday before players and media.

Hayward, a former Montreal Canadiens goalie, criticized Avery during Tuesday's Anaheim broadcast and accused him of running away from a confrontation with the Ducks' Todd Fedoruk. Hayward was doing prep work for Saturday's Ducks-Kings game on NBC when he visited the Kings' dressing room Friday, only to be welcomed by a profanity-laced tirade from Avery, according to the Los Angeles Times. Hayward stood his ground.

"You're an embarrassment," the Times quoted Avery as saying and Hayward responded by saying, "You want to see an embarrassment? Look in the mirror, Sean."

Avery walked towards Hayward at one point but was pulled away by assistant coach Ray Bennett.

"You're the reason the league doesn't have a national television deal. You're a (terrible) announcer and you were a (terrible) player," Avery said during the exchange.

Hayward responded: "How would you know? When I played, you were in your third year of eighth grade."

Avery has been in and out of hot water all year long:

- In pre-season, Avery said a hit by then-Phoenix defenceman Denis Gauthier on Kings centre Jeremy Roenick "was typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up."

- In an October game, Avery was accused by Edmonton's Georges Laraque of using a racial slur.

- He was the first NHL player this season to be fined $1,000 US for diving and reacted by hammering the league for it.

"How can a guy sitting in an office in New York determine if you dived or not by watching a tape?" Avery said. "They don't know if you had a bad ankle or torn bursa sac or something. I can't even tell you what play they are talking about. They don't have to tell you a play, just what game they are looking at.

"No question that this is a way (for the league) to do something to me. It has nothing to do with diving. How can Colin Campbell, or whoever it is, sit at a desk and make that call? They should send the tape to all seven members of the competition committee and let them look at it."

Everyone has the same opportunities - whether they use it or not is up to them.

Its the same IRL - when one person is attentive, works hard and reaps rewards while another person just coasts along and does average, we generally don't penalize the successful one (other than with taxes ;-) ) and try to limit opportunity for them to the about the same amount as the average bloke ends up using.

Put another way - all is fair in Love and War.

What if instead of restricting moves we increased roster spots (more D, more bench, and then more forwards as a last option) so that there are fewer tastey scraps left on the table? And definitely more IR so people aren't forced to drop players like Nash due to a bit of bad luck.

What does everyone think?

[joncha]

Sounds good to me. I dislike revolving door tactics.
