Gloating invites the "told you so" response.
The rules are the rules regardless and that's always how it has been. Kicking a fanbase while they're down is never okay. A handful of Habs posters being know-it-all jerks do not represent the whole and do not justify that kind of response towards other Habs fans.

To be perfectly frank, if I had moderator powers on that forum, I'd have locked the thread too. There's already a mains discussion about the hit.

What rule closes a thread as soon as someone gets injured?

If kicking a fanbase while down actually applied, then many threads that the Jackets are involved in should be closed early on.

Per rules against moderator action disclosure I'm not at liberty to reveal details. I will note, though, that the existence of a thread about the hit on the mains made the closure of the trade thread much more likely. (That's the basis on which I'd personally have made the call if it was me.)

Thread closures aren't common but post cleanup is and that's frequently done. Again, per disclosure/privacy rules I'm not at liberty to be more specific. If you have continued concerns about the policy, there's a "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page that puts you in touch with the admin staff.

Believe me, the way the Jackets fanbase gets kicked around on the mains sometimes drives me up a wall as much as any of y'all. And I do personally do what I can where possible.

Sadly, we have a contract with Delaware North. Jeremy Jacobs's only purpose is to nickle and dime everyone to death. They'll never lower anything at NWA.

A lot of ex-Jackets waived in recent days in addition to Meyer. Josh Dunne, Lane Pederson (remember him?), Kevin Connauton, Brendan Gaunce...

Anyhow, the best news of today: Patrik Laine will be out 2-3 months for the Montreal Canadiens because of a left knee sprain. He will not require surgery. How accurate that proves to be we'll see, but maybe his season is back on and career likewise. Fingers crossed no setbacks.
That is great but I feel sorry for David Reinbacher. 20 year old guy and already having knee problems again, out 5-6 months due to a collision with a Toronto player in the same game (really unfortunate collision). This may hold him back in his development.

Carson Meyer was waived by Anaheim. Proud former Jacket and Powell product.

Can someone explain why Meyer and Dunne weren't brought back for Cleveland?

That one I don't get.
