    I guess my pt is if we here at BC have issues with people and their posts, why not just bite our tongue or in this case our fingers and go about our business. Believe me, there are a few people on BC I could do without (as I'm sure some can do without my post), but I just stay away form them.

    Anyway, I'm moving on from this and will just say:

    GO FLYERS!
    good point---I've tried to guide him, ignore him, help him, teach him, and just when you think he's got the point, he gets worse......

    when he ceases to be totaly rude to others, I'll cease trying to corrrect him....

    you make a good point of ignoring him, but if he keeps getting worse with me on him, how much worse will he be when we Ignore him, giving him full rein to berate/belittle people and their respective teams....

    another thing----a problem has never been solved by ignoring it....

    but I understand where you're comin from...

    thanks


    Don't make me go Cajun on your Ass!

      here's a few of Chados sayings....

      NBA is fixed

      Your team sucks

      your conference sucks

      when one gives an opinion, Chados reply is LMAO

      what game were you watching BRO....when someone disagrees...

      please don't talk rude to me re CHADO----that's what this is all about from me....Is Chado's total rudeness to everyone else, and I'm simply giving him the same..........

      I repeat---go back and read, then you tell me who's rude...
      Kapt, I'm not gonna defend Chado, but IMO, I just don't think saying the NBA is fixed (I think some games r), and as far as the other 2 statements, I think it depends on as you say, presentation...nothing wrong with ribbing a fellow sports fan about their team or conference, but it depends on how you do it...maybe Chado just needs to go to an American school...lol

        You could say that about most College sports too Jimmy. I'm sure alot of fixing and crazy shit goes on there too with these high profile unpaid athletes. People don't start threads and bitch about it CONSTANTLY though.

If you are going to bitch about the NBA refs, tell the NHL ones to look in the fucken mirror too because they are an absolute fucking joke!
          Before moving to Florida I was a HUGE NHL fan. It was my favorite sport. I agree! The NHL refs are pretty bad, especially in the playoffs. They are very inconsistent with their calls.

              good article about hockey, montreal, and how its fallen in boston (which used to be a big hockey town). i agree with all of it:

              This rink gives you chills
              In Montreal, they have the magic down cold

              Globe Staff / April 13, 2008

              Upon leaving Bell Centre in Montreal Thursday night, following the Canadiens' quick-and-easy dismissal of the Bruins in their playoff opener, all I could wonder was, how in the world did the Habs not finish 82-0-0 in the regular season? Surely they could have won at least 81 and lost the other in OT.

              The Habs' record against the Bruins this season - 9-0-0 going into last night - could convince some that they are the late '70s Flying Frenchmen brought back to life in slick, new-age RBK clothing. So thorough was that Game 1 thumping, it was difficult to imagine the Bruins figuring a way to negate the Canadiens' speed, slipping out from their suffocating forecheck, or shimmying the puck down ice to establish any kind of offensive presence.

              All game analysis aside, though, the night was even more remarkable, at least to these aged eyes, for its sensational presentation and the fervor of the Montreal fans. The passion was astounding, pulsating, especially in the minutes leading up to the opening faceoff. As the sellout crowd of 21,273 roared in anticipation of the Canadiens skating out for introductions, I turned to a longtime pal in the press box and remarked that I'd forgotten how great the hockey environment can be, and this was before a single pass had been made or check thrown.

              "The crowd, the noise, the music, everyone in the stands with their towels waving," mused Bruins goalie Tim Thomas the next day. "When I came out, it was like being a Roman gladiator."

              One thing is certain, the Canadiens know how to stage a hockey game like no one else, and they deserve nothing less than an A-plus-plus for event presentation. On Thursday night, they used light and sound to blend their storied past with their present, mixing songs by U2 with heroics by Maurice Richard. The house lights all but turned off, quotes from Habs Hall of Famers were projected on the ice. Legends long gone, but their words reverberating.

              "You could feel it inside you, just rumbling," said Bruins rookie Milan Lucic. "It was awesome. It's what makes pro sports so great."

              Now, granted, anyone who has had the comings and goings of Causeway Street the last 15 years as the focal point of their hockey experience could not help but be overwhelmed. For too long, the Bruins have been painful on the senses, and no amount of gussying up the presentation, be it at the old Garden or the current Vault, can mask all of that. No wonder that most of the Hub's sports cognoscenti, and 98 percent of sports yahoo radio, have marginalized hockey, and especially the Bruins, to being little more than fodder.

              No matter what their postseason fortunes the rest of the way, the Bruins were a bit better this year. They were more engaging to the home crowd, and the underlying truth always will be that nothing gets people excited more than winning. Both the old Garden and old Forum had their moments of pulsating emotion, too, long before all the electronic gizmos came into vogue. It is, and always will be, first and foremost about the W's.

              However, it is also very much about the culture, the people, the place that the sport holds in the public psyche. Hockey has always been king in Montreal, and with the Expos now transplanted to Washington as the Nationals, there really isn't any big league competition for Les Habitants. They own the town - lock, stock, and puck bucket.

              As crazy as Red Sox Nation is, imagine Boston if the Red Sox were really the only show in town. That's how it is in Montreal, where the Habs have won 24 Stanley Cups, albeit one of those before it was considered the NHL's championship mug (note: nothing gets the locals stirred up more than if you slight them the one Cup).

              "It's great to be a part of it," said Thomas, "even if you're on the opposing team."

              If only half the rinks in the Original 30 could tap into such excitement and passion, it would be the crack cocaine of the professional sports industry. We wouldn't be talking incessantly about changing the size of goalie gear, widening the nets, increasing goal scoring, whether to employ one referee or two, targeting the next team to move, wondering if the collective bargaining agreement will stay in place. The bigger issue would be how to build arenas for the 30,000 or 40,000 eager to pay to watch the games each night.

              The Bruins and Canadiens were back at it again last night, same city, same stage, with the building shaken right down to its very foundation. Tonight, the two clubs will play Game 3 of the series on Causeway Street, where it now has been some 20 years since hockey has come even close to capturing our imagination, overtaking our senses, taking from us our hearts and our hard-earned dollars. It takes but one trip to the greatest NHL city of them all to realize what we had, and what me miss.

                Here's the difference..........

                Show me one other thread where a BC member is constantly bumping in support of his team. You probably won't find one.

                We all get excited when 'our' team does well. I was as excited as I've ever been in my life watching the NY Giants march to their Super Bowl win. I wasn't on BC day after day created new thread and bumping old threads supporting the Giants. Eight of the first twelve posts within 30 minutes in this thread were by Chado. When he wasn't getting any responses he then asked "Everyone watch this video at least". It obvious that other members don't share his enthusiasm. Why continue to ram it down our throats? I feel like I'm watching ESPN's coverage of Tiger at the Masters. Enough is Enough.

                  Honestly who gives a fuck if he starts a thread to cheer on his team. If u see a thread titled this( about hockey, montreal whatever) and u dont "give a fuck about it" dont click on it. Its pretty ridiculous how people can get so worked up over a harmless thread o nthe internet. Not tryin to defend chado but to be honest with you the thread has no business havin 5 pages of all bs. It should have 1 page at the most of people who maybe like hockey or montreal. Chado probably starts these things bc he knows it will get this kind of reasponse and attention. I mean this thread has 560 views and thats crazy. I just think people need to let shit like this go, theres no reason to get worked up or care about someone starting a thread. theres probably 2 or 3 threads everyday on here that would may get on my nerves...i just ignore them and move on no reason to be mad about a thread on the internet. just my two cents hope i didint piss anyone off

                    I love hockey, especially the Playoffs and appreciate that Chad shows enthusiasm towards the sport but does he go overboard, absolutely. I think it is part of being a 22 yr old but he shouln't get a flier for it (not that he is).

                    The one thing you forgot Kapt, and I will not forget it as I was very offended, was the infamous 'I feel sorry for you Americans for having to live in that country with Bush as your President.' Not to make this a political argument but I would live here even with KB as President (but maybe not Hillary), before I would EVER leave anywhere else. That is when he lost me. Feel sorry for me...PUHLEEZE!!! Ignorance is bliss.....
