Next Up, More Of The Same

Whoopie-ding. Some toolbag and a pathetic excuse for ~~a journalist~~ an “editor” don’t have anything better to do, so they try to make their e-peens look bigger by taking the same unoriginal, tired, lazy, and (of course) moronic shots at the Hurricanes. CLEARLY the Hurricanes are doomed if fans from Raleigh won’t go to the Durham Militarized Zone just to get two-fer vouchers that have been just left sitting out on an unmanned and unadorned table on the concourse at the DBAP, Ross McKeon knows all there is to know about hockey, and I am the King of Siam. Et cetera, et cetera.

Some, of course, just have to go and get all butthurt and cry about the stupidity while the rest of the Caniac Blogosphere is just rolling their eyes and saying “whatever”. Luke DeCock, on the other hand, showed that he is a better man than I by politely agreeing to an interview with that same toolblog after the hackjob about the unpromoted and unnoticed 2-fers at the DBAP.

Whatever. Same shit, different season. Their skewed perception is their pitiful attempt at reality, and no matter how hard you try you just can’t disabuse some folks of their delusions–so Caniacs are better served by just rolling our eyes and focusing on stuff that really matters (like…oh I dunno…the Hurricanes). You’ll be a lot better off for it.

Actually, it was a different toolbag who interviewed DeCock, but same site.

We had a pretty good discussion going on, despite the “crying”. (68 comments and climbing) Plus the “editor” toolbag in question has agreed to come to a game and party with us. Maybe some good will come out of this afterall. *S* Sorry you don’t approve.

Some of us can choose to sit back and roll our eyes, or some of us can choose to call out a cheap shot when it’s a cheap shot. To each our own. *shrugs*

I’m surprised you bother read our site anyway, considering that we haven’t been on your blogroll in awhile now.

And when that same editor goes home (assuming of course that he bothers to show), I am willing to bet that he’ll repay your hospitality by taking more potshots. Maybe you’ll get some free Yahoo Sports kit in the bargain.

Cynical? Yes. But my cynicism is borne of long years of experience.

Thanks for stopping by!

[...] but not least, one of my fellow Hurricanes Bloggers felt the need to call me out because of my “crying” concerning Drew Mindell’s [...]

As I stated a few threads down, I see why the SE takes the shit that it does for the on-ice product, but I don’t agree that it’s a reflection on the hockey markets so much as the hockey people: either they’ve fucked up or they’ve had horrible luck. However you choose to look at it, contracting a team because it sucks is not the right move. If a team is winning like it’s going out of style and playing before an arena with as much excitement as the pre-2007 United Center, then we can talk about movement, but the closest we’ve come to that scenario in recent years is Nashville, and again, that team has not won a playoff round yet in its existence.
