Why was the State of Hockey closed?

Seriously? The guy is an HFBoards sanctioned writer, he's posted his stuff for people to comment/critique-why close the thread? The criticism was generally fair.

Are hf staff immune from getting shredded for asinine screeds?

I pmed Lou asking the same question.
I'm sure he'll share his reasoning, Lou is a standup guy.

Im not trying to pick a side in that case, but it does seem like several admins on this site have major power trips every now and then. Who is the guy the admins answer to? I think maybe some admins need to be rotated in and out as to not asbuse their power. Its amazing and pathetic how seriously some people take things around here

I agree. You make a long winded post/rant you live with the consequences. Especially when you get burned making controversial and racist statements. Whoo-boy. I think everyone was pretty nice so I would have liked to see this writer defend his stance.

Not to mention there were actually some good ideas that came up in the responses to the post. I like the Coke/Pepsi/RC way of looking at things. And the comment about not putting a team anywhere that does not have a college hockey team. One thing I would like to add is I still think some areas of Europe are a much better market than where some of the franchises are now. Make 3 conferences with one being in europe. Whats the difference between an East coast swing for my Oilers and a European one???

Another 4 or 5 time zones and 7 extra hours of flight?

Damnit, I thought that the thread was closed earlier. I wanted to get my shots in with his idiotic reply. Oh well...

I have now deleted the thread in question as it has become an internal matter. If anyone has issues, they can contact me, though I don't really see the need, as it's being handled.
