rumours "du jour"

or his source reemed him out. either way

Well he seemed to be pretty convinced that his source would find out because of the HB post...too bad. Any way we can track the kid down and have him sign up as a member here?

and his own idiocy. It's a public forum. Kinda like how a girl complains about how guys stare at her chest when she wears low cut tops. Duh....you're asking for it!

Yeah, that would be a dream pickup for sure. It's probably all Dung so my hopes aren't getting up. I'll just get ready for a season of Fish!!!

Same approach as me; Surest way to keep from being disappointed is to lower your expectations!

Or you could be a pessimist. Then you were either right that nothing happened, or you are happy about the trade.

It's actually nothing at all like that...

I think it is. Yost was the guy who stared a little too long and told his friends about it, and now BDP won't show any cleavage

lets just agree to disagree on this. But I do agree that if we can track him down and get him on here, that'd be awesome.

Correct. It's her own damn fault for being so dirty.

Well, it's safe to say that rumors of this trade happening are going to be non-existant with BDP now not fueling the fire.

Not so fast. Senschirp has posted a blog entitled "Where There's Smoke..." I'll be interested to see what it's all about.

Let's be honest, your numbers are misplaced. The actual comparison is Travis Yost's column versus GMHockey. My guess is they are pretty equal with GMHockey being the slight winner in terms of hits and a huge win in terms of quality that read.

I doubt any of the Sens brass regularly read Yost (though he's a good blogger, despite the beating he's now taking on HF and here, it seems). But, if people affiliated with NHL teams are going to go online, they're more likely to go to an enormous site like HB (though who knows, given Ek's reputation). And if someone from the Sens sees the front page and sees a blog with the title like "Ottawa to make major trade in the coming weeks?" and they know the rumour is founded, they're probably going to read it and they'd immediately be linked to BDP.

BDP knew his source didn't read HF but he wasn't sure about whether or not he read HB. And even if that wasn't the case, the more notoriety the guy gets the more likely he's going to get referenced by other sites as well (see, um, here).

I dunno, even if I think he's a little childish (for the Spezza incident), I definitely understand why he was ticked off at the situation and why he asked to have his posts deleted.

Agreed. He was posting fairly in cognito on only the Sens forum on hfboards and seemed to be quite content doing it for some time now. Then that imbecile Yost (who by the way, does anyone actually know who the Cuss this guy is or where he got the job blogging about the sens on HB?) ruined the whole thing for everyone.

We need to recruit bdp for this site.

ASQ : I agree with you but at the same time, I think everyone needs to be aware that whatever they write in a public board on the internet becomes "public domain" and will be linked to, cross-referenced or quoted.

It appears to me (and I think the Spezza incident points in that direction) that this person enjoys the notoriety that he/she has earned amongst Hockey (more specifically Senator's) fans.

The problem here seems to be that this notoriety has been "acquired" through the act of making public what he/she was told in confidence and got caught (or is afraid of getting caught). Never mind that this is reprehensible in the first place;

wait...was it backdroppass or backdoorpass

That's not true at all. And it applies even less to a guy like Yost who gets paid to write.

backdoorpass

If SensChirp is on the case, then that's all I really care about. BDP is a definite source, but so is JC.

My beef is with the fact that bdp is saying that his source will find out through HB (and yost) about him and what I'm saying is that the same info gets posted here which leads another user to say pickup the info from here. again, if the real issue was about his source not leaking anymore info to him because of yost's antics, but has anything been done about the post itself? no, its more of a personal combat between the two. I don't buy the bogus about this being yost's fault, which is the argument he's making. I buy the fact that information about the internet's source shouldn't be presented on such a personal level, but he's leaving himself wide open to those antics by not setting some precedent or rule. Its a public forum!

and about the sens people scouring here, I think I heard this from prags or cap'n, so no I really have no way to prove this.

The point is, 1000s of more people will read HB than here or any other hockey rumour site. BDP's source is more likely to hear about BDP positing what he does now precisely because it's on HB.

Not all hockey forums are created equal. The more followers, the more likely it is that BDP's source will hear about this. It's pretty simple, really.

In my opinion, you are scewing the facts and numbers.

In my opinion, you're not who you say you are. And if have more substantial evidence. Glad we talked. Let's not do it again.

Who are you?
What is your full name?
Where do you live?
What is your address?
Where do you (supposedly) teach?
Who gave you (or your pretend) PhD?

I don't believe for a second you have a PhD. Anyone can use a thesaurus to edit their work before they press "send". Anyone can be a pompous Donkey and harp on peoples opinion and say they deal with students theories everyday so they are a little on edge about unsupported views.

Since you brought it up first, I would be happy to end it here with you.

To the rest of you, keep up the great work on this site.

Rooney, CR never came on here and flaunted his identity, and I really don't see why he can't remain anonymous, like most people on the internet choose to be. Seems like for him to have to even defend himself he'd have to give out personal information which I can see why he'd be reluctant to do so in the first place, and secondly it's nobody's business.

I thought this fighting had ceased when someone left, let's keep it that way.
