Incredibly tasteless.
Yes, we all know damn well that the Jackets will be way worse without their star forward. No need to rub it in.
Same reason I’m not going to post the Gaudreau “I came here to win” meme anymore. It’s gratuitous.

I mean I get what he was going for but that initial Tweet was worded so badly he deserved to be clowned just for stupidity.
Don't give a shit if this is too harsh but he should be blackballed from the league.
That clown wrote that, probably re-read it at least once to spell check and proof read and decided it was a good idea when they barely died a little over a month ago. Then decided to edit it with an equally bad edit.
Guy needs to be told to f*** off and go do something else for a living. Colossal piece of shit.

It was a stupid mistake that he owned up to. There was clearly no malicious intent behind it.
Hoping the guy loses his career and labeling him a "colossal piece of shit" over a poor choice of words is a ridiculous over-reaction.
I already blocked him and won't read his articles going forward. Takes two seconds to block and 0 effort to not click on his articles going forward.
If you think this guy didn't know what he was doing to get attention because we all know these clowns love attention I have a few bridges to sell you. This guy is somehow the president of the hockey writers association, it's embarrassing.
I already know how you feel on a lot of this stuff and that's totally fine, I respect your decision to not care about it. For me, he can f*** off forever but I've always been a hard ass with 0 tolerance in terms of forgiveness and second chances.

Seravalli is an idiot. To even think for a split second that going down that path in the article was worthwhile proves that.
I think that's the proper way to handle it - block him and not read his articles. If more people do that he'll at least lose some of his prominence/reach. Calling him to be blackballed on the other hand was a bit extreme.
Like a lot of others, I don't particularly like Seravalli. I follow him because he's one of many writers I get news from, but I completely respect your decision to be done with him. Maybe I'll unfollow him as well as he's far down the list anyway of interesting NHL sources. I don't think he was intentionally trying to gain attention by any means possible by writing that, as that just seems extremely idiotic, but including that in the article in the first place was rather stupid, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I followed and unfollowed him on principle.

People love to pretend other people are evil with constant malicious intent.
I get it, it's cathartic to just call that jerk who cut you off every name in the book and just unload all your anger on them that has no other place to go, its a perfect outlet, because obviously that's a bad person who deserves the vitriol. Never mind that the person could have been thinking about 100 other serious things and just had a lapse of awareness and would apologize instantly if they realized what they did, but that would ruin the pleasure that comes from dressing down the bad guy.
That's the internet today, people don't make mistakes, aren't misunderstood, they are just evil people doing evil things for evil reasons and us good guys need to let them know, in the most hateful ways possible.

He should have re-read that article because it's his job to read his writing before he posts. Not only did he think it was perfectly fine, he edited it in 2 more different ways, all equally awful before posting an apology because people called him out.
Sometimes, people are just f*** wits who don't deserve the cushy bs jobs they have.
And hell, most people who cut others off in traffic are absolutely entitled assholes who don't give a flying f*** about anyone else but themselves. Anyone who drives around this area knows it's not just people who made an honest mistake because they just have so much on their plate. What a load of horse shit.

For what it's worth, I don't think he's evil. I think he's a dope.

You're right, lets ruin his life, that'll teach him for what he did to us.

I don’t know what’s funnier, the news or the kiddie background
Here’s the main board thread. Fair warning though, I don’t think there’s enough popcorn on the Eastern Seaboard to properly enjoy it.

Rumor: - Per Kevin Weekes. Shesterkin rejects NYRs $88M / 11M AAV offer
Unless he’s pulling a Costanza and holding out for less money, this ends pretty well for us. He’s either gone, or screws their cap flexibility
That's Nick Universe at the American Dream Mall so even funnier that's he's breaking it from the former parking lot of our old arena lol

That kinda sucks. While I don't want igor on the rags, there is no way that contract ages well at all and would have seriously tied their hands. I almost wish he accepted

You’ll feel better when it’s $12 mil AAV for 8 years.
