The Finnish fanbase on here is the most annoying, they downplay other players/teammates to make their guy look better all the time. Is it because of the lack of talent from that country they need to latch onto anything they can get? I'm not surprised you're offended by such a comment.
So it's because of the fanbase, not the players? Cause I can understand the fanbase comment. Although, I think it's bit misplaced. Similarly as "Leafs fans are all..." But yeah, you're not entirely wrong. Since Laine and Pulju played in WJC, it created a new influx of Finns on this site. I was here then and I am here still. I do understand and realize how those guys come off. It's not flattering.
What I don't understand, is the constant need to act similarly. As in, you ignoring me for a long time even if I am being polite and asking you about what's your deal. Cause we've been here a long time and I have some vivid good memories about some of the talks we've had. Especially concerning Selanne and Kariya. (See, you didn't always hate Finns)
Are the over-the-top Finnish fans annoying and obnoxious? Yes. To a point where my very short ignore list consists mostly of Finnish posters. But there's still a good deal of decent Finns posting here, some are new and some have been here longer than I have. What you're doing, is derailing and agonizing threads with this personal vendetta.
I guess what I'm saying is, you can either keep going the way you have recently and become one of the most disliked posters on the site i.e. daver, albeit for different reasons, cause guys like Barkov are actually very good hockey players and they have fans outside of Finland too. Continuously aggravating discussion in threads involving them will make you, not the Finnish homers, look like a gigantic penis.
I have no beef with you, I respect the discussion history I've had with you. I'd rather remember you as the discussion we used to have. If you're retort will still be similar, I think we can just agree to not quote each other again.
