A Plea
I hesitate to do this, because I am not here to edit what all of you have to say in the comments. The fact that a lot of you are far smarter and funnier than the three of us who write this is what makes this blog so much fun. And you're always free to say as you please. But if I could suggest or ask for the straight-up name calling to stop. Passionate debate is fine, and in fact encouraged. But in midst of that to call someone "fuckwit" or "moron" or any other of the labels I see far too often recently doesn't further debate, and it raises the vitriol level to a point where we are going to turn some people off. I understand sometimes it's needed, and when we get trolls from opposing sites infiltrating our comments we all get annoyed. But we'd probably be best to leave them alone and not acknowledge their presence. So please, feel free to be angry with each other and argue, but let's leave the barroom crap for places like the 300 Level and other messageboards. It's not really what we do here.

Why is it always the 300 level that's a euphemism for boorish behavior?
Those fuckwits morons fancy pants in the 100 level don’t even understand the game.
I meant the 300 Level Message board
but you’re probably making a joke I missed.

That's why they have to sit closer cliff
kind of like when the teacher made the fuckwits morons intellectually challenged kids sit at the front desks in class.

in the old building
the highest level had more fights & rowdier drunks – and were generally broadbrush slandered on that basis.
There has always been a mix of knowledeable & ignorant at all strata of ticket prices.
Hockey has always been an odd mix of blue collar & wealthy folk, and thorough knowledge of the game resides at both groups (and ignorant fans are all over too).

I will abide...
I have noticed that I have been getting particularly vitriolic when the goalie issue is raised, so I have been simply typing “a”.
I do not feel the need to waste any more letters than that on them.

Im still allowed to insult
other teams players, McGuire/Milbury etc with clever combinations of curse words though, right?
I havnt been this drunk since college, so if I make stupid comments or insult anyone, consider this my disclaimer
i think the name calling/cursing is not wanted toward other people on here

I have formally apologized to me for calling myself a Moron and Retard
And I have accepted said apology from myself to me, provided I do not do it again, in which I case I will kick my ass from here to LA.

a 'mea culpa' and apology
I used both terms with regard to the troll from DC defending Oveckin’s hit on Campbell.
I will better watch my temper with those who are thoroughly bereft of even the slightest burden of having knowledge of the game.
To anyone other than that aforesaid troll, I sincerely apologize. I regard the rest here with increasing affection, and any slips I may have made were not intended to offend & likely involved alcohol aided lapses in judgment – though remaining my responsibility.
As to the DC troll, I was fully sober & completely meant it. I am sorry if anyone else was offended, and to my gracoius hosts here, I acknowledge the faux pas and promise to be more judicious in the future (even with those undeserving sorts who slither in here)

Can I offer my other favorite SSS.com as an example of how to do it right?
We fucking swear all the time, we rag on each other all the time. However, we never call each other shit like “fuckwit” or “faggot” (which is a disgusting word to use anyways). Use some class if your going to disagree, and bring the info to back it up.
"we never call each other shit like fuckwit or faggot..........."
because we save those insults for Cub fans.
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."

who likes to joke about the nature of some sox fans, kind of like Sam did in the C.I. when he said “but what do I know, I’m just some semen guzzling cub fan”
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
uhh
Better insults for Cubs fans exist, saying shit like “faggot” makes you sound like you are 12
I will talk shit about the cubs and cubs fans sure, but do not act like you guys are any better
You've mentioned that elsewhere
are you positive it’s not 11, or possibly 13?
I'm not anti-social; I'm just not user friendly

but in case you aren’t, I was referencing the 11/09/09 (LA Kings) issue. In From the Editor, you addressed the perceived wriglification of the UC.

There is hope
I have sent several comments to your blog regarding the entries regarding the Wings Hawks. I am a Wing fan, but foremost a hockey fan. I think it is great Chicago, an original six team, is back in the saddle. Unfortunatly the lead story regarding that game (auther: McClure)was classless. I am sure we Wings have our idiots too, but the blog and responses have no place in this great game where we pride ourselves to be the greatest, classiest, and most knowedgable in sports.

In light of recent comments/developments, we at SCH have begun to question the manner in which we as commenters and the authors of this site are perceived by others under the umbrella of SBNation. To learn that we are perceived as a “classless” is obvious cause for alarm, or at least major concern. Since leaders lead by example and “leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future”, may I suggest a little “dressing up” to insta-classy-fy your image and this site? Maybe something along the lines of this?:

stop posting it and go away. How’s that for class?
"In an ideal world I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching."
What?
I just went back and re-read the preview and summary and have no clue what you are talking about when saying either were classless. Please enlighten us with your wisdom…I would legitimately like to know.
And it’s “Author,” not “Auther”
Ah, thanks

If you don't like what you read
go to a different site. I’m sure Wingin it in Motown could use a few more readers/posters seeing as they only get a bakers dozen worth of comments anyway. Scum will always be Scum, no matter how “classless” you think that is. I’m more insulted that Detroit claims that it is “Hockeytown” but you don’t see me trolling over on your site. Wipe the tears, have a beer, and get over it.

When the trolls go a trolling, let’s insult their team, their building, their coaches, their uniforms, and anything else that you think of. However, no direct responding to anything they say.

“that Kane his mouthguard is like…..” from some troll
“What is a winged wheel anyway? Thanksgiving dinner in Hamtramack”

I know he likes to grace the highlight reel and Im sure thats what was going through his head when he shoved Phantom 51 into the boards, but someone seriously needs to sit him down, hold up a picture of Todd Bertuzzi and say if you dont change your was this is who you will become!
Drink it up!

The Rule
If you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face (either because you have better manners or would just be afraid of the massive ass-kicking sure to result — I don’t care which), don’t say it here.
I think, frankly, that should be the rule for just about every blog. But I’ve given up on most of the rest. This one I would really like to stay with. (Pardon the grammar fail.)
teaching respect for the Indian, one Red Wings fan at a time.
Your forgiven on that "grammar"
Now are we all going to hold hands and skip?
I’ve given up on other blogs b/c people are so harsh and take things out of context. I understand everyone gets a little pissed off b/c of losing or losing players, or whatever it is but this is the best site I’ve found to rant and understand the non-sense we talk about hockey!
Hockey is life! Lets go Hawks!

When my jar-head uncle showed my brother and I how to use a knife, he made us swear not to tell mom. He used to tell us that he was Recon in Korea and Nam, and the only time he was ever afraid, was at our house.

“Hockey is hilarious”
“It’s hilarious that you can’t marry your mother”
“I put my hand in the garbage disposal and my sister/girlfriend accidentally turned it onbecause she thought it was the switch for the microwave, you know, she wanted some Mrs Pauls fish sticks. It was hilarious”
