Most likely my final post

[Guerzy]

This is most likely my final post on any part of the boards that has to do with hockey, at least for a long time. This league has managed to ruin my love of the sport, a love that goes back to when I was an eight year old kid. It isn't just the officiating, with the wild inconsistencies that really make me question what the company line is that these guys in stripes are toeing. It's the way they disregard fans every time a new CBA is needed. It's the way they disregard dangerous plays that could lead to permanent injury as long as it was a star player doing the deed. It's the way the current crop of executives making decisions just seem to take it for granted that they can basically act however they want and fans will continue to dish out money. And they are pretty much right, but enough is enough for this long-time fan. It doesn't help that the average hockey discussion on this forum (not the Preds section, but the forum as a while) is on a similar intellectual plane as a kindergarten argument about whose dad can beat up who. I'm ashamed to say I found reasons to overlook all of that for all of these years, but no more.

The waived off goal last night wasn't necessarily the final straw since, win or lose, I had already basically decided that I was done, but it was at that moment I decided I didn't even care if there was a game 7. I didn't even watch the rest of the game after that I was so disgusted. People can go ahead and say I'm not a real fan if they want, and they wouldn't be wrong. As of that moment I stopped being a real fan entirely. I don't know what it was but I could just feel any passion I had for it leave my body. It was the final nail in the coffin that holds the corpse of my NHL fandom. I was a real fan for nineteen years, going through the thick and the thin with this team, but it's time to call it a show and hang it up. I've got more important things to do.

I was asked last night by a friend of mine who was barely even a casual fan until a month or so ago, as she tried to ignore every reason I was giving her for being done with it so that she could make some futile plea for me to stick it out, what happens if they win next year? It's a good question. If they win next year I'll be happy for them. I'll be happy for you all who are able to put more behind themselves than I am capable of putting behind me. I really do appreciate all of the hockey talk I've been able to have with a lot of you, going back over ten years now.

But I've put in my dues and I feel like I have the right to walk away whenever I please. That's right now. Enjoy your summer everyone, and good luck next year.

This is most likely my final post on any part of the lounge, at least for a long time. The lounge has managed to ruin my love of posting, a love that goes back to when I was an eight year old kid. It isn't just the new generation, with the wild inconsistencies that really make me question who is making all these crazy nonsense threads. It's the way they disregard popular opinion. It's the way they post lyric threads every Saturday morning when nobody knows the song quoted. And they can basically act however they want and fans will continue to post in Lounge. Enough is enough for this long-time fan. It doesn't help that the average discussion on this forum (not the Entertainment or Garage section, but this forum as a while) is on a similar intellectual plane as a kindergarten argument about whose dad can beat up who. I'm ashamed to say I found reasons to overlook all of that for all of these years, but no more.

The Daveed Diggs Appreciation Thread last night wasn't necessarily the final straw since I had already basically decided that I was done, but it was at that moment I decided I didn't even care if there was another awful thread. I didn't even read the rest of the Lounge threads after that I was so disgusted. People can go ahead and say I'm not a real poster if they want, and they wouldn't be wrong. As of that moment I stopped being a real poster entirely. I don't know what it was but I could just feel any passion I had for it leave my body. It was the final nail in the coffin that holds the corpse of my HFBoards posting. I was a Lounge contributor for 9 years, going through the thick and the thin with this forum, but it's time to call it a show and hang it up. I've got more important things to do.

I was asked this morning by a friend of mine who was barely even a casual fan until a month or so ago, as he tried to ignore every reason I was giving him for being done with it so that he could make some futile plea for me to stick it out, what happens if the Lounge quality improves? It's a good question. If the Lounge quality improves I'll be happy for the posters. I'll be happy for you all who are able to put more behind themselves than I am capable of putting behind me. I really do appreciate all of the off topic talk I've been able to have with a lot of you, going back over nine years now.

But I've put in my dues and I feel like I have the right to walk away to Discord whenever I please. That's right now. Enjoy your summer everyone, and good luck.

Here's your attention

 

[Zorf]

Is this supposed to be some sort of protest against the NHL? I think you'd be better off sending them a letter than posting your reasons in the Lounge, of all places.

Hey NHL, some guy posted in the non-hockey thread of HF that he's no longer watching HF...NHL? Gary? You seeing this? Paging Mr. Bettman...

I think they'll get the message.

 

[Guerzy]

For those asking, NHL trade/waiver freeze and signing moratorium runs from 3 pm ET Sat. June 17 until 8 am ET Thur June 22. EXCEPT...
