Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Quick thanks to DN crew

So I was just reading an article over at the "Hockey Wilderness" site for the Minnesota Wild. Someone had created a FanPost based on what they had heard from Jeremy Roenick (who works on a nightly hockey show) about how the Blackhawks might be open to trading one of their star players because of Cap constraints, etc... So naturally, one of the members posited that if true, would the Wild have the pieces ability to land such a start player (which obviously should be discussed as similar situations are discussed here all the time). The guys (will call them douche pickles) that run the site, immediately went after the guy who posted this Fanshot, saying that they do not allow for that garbage to be posted on their website. So the guy protested asking "why he shouldn't be able to talk about it" and I threw in my two cents that it was a FanPost, not an article, so he should be able to talk about whatever he wants. The next thing they do is say that if you don't agree with us we can always "ban the guy that annoys us because we get 60k hits a month", what jokers. Anyway, long story made slightly less long, it made me appreciate the freedom you guys give us to throw out whatever crazy ideas we want to for discussion and that you guys will do the same without passing judgement. It clearly obvious why you guys get as much traffic here as you do. So thanks.

This FanPost was created by a registered user of The Daily Norseman, and does not necessarily reflect the views of the staff of the site. However, since this is a community, that view is no less important.

bunch of assholes..

Excuse my language but what’s the point of having a site to discuss such things if they’re just going to get insta-butthurt over someone with a different POV, I don’t think I have EVER heard our great moderator crew throw power around like that(unless trolls attacked) So I’m with you its nice to be able to openly discuss and I’ll have to say I appreciate them also

yea

I definitely have never heard, if you do not agree with our POV, we can just ban you because we have so many other followers, on this site.

Agreed

I very much appreciate the DN crew. I know that I have put up a coupla posts that were kind of crappy but man I just love talking with other people who are as passionate about the little stuff about the vikes as I am. It’s easy to talk about AD and whether he will come back at 100% or the draft. Thanks for being cool about some fanposts that are not so good.

I'm not trying to say anything but...

suck up… :D

The Vikes aren't in a remodeling or reconstruction they are in a burn the place down and start praying they don't mimic the Lions rebuilding process.

yup, because i get so much out of doing it :)

Just realized it could be a whole heck of a lot worse. It just goes to show thats why they have over 6 million views and the Wild blog just reached 1 million in roughly the same amount of time

Sock Sucker!

According to my sister, that’s how they say it in Chile. I’m sure Grime only meant it as a jibe/joke viking_#28. Like you said, what would you stand to gain anyway…

Yea it was actually kind of funny

I read that particular post because it was the top (most recent) one. After reading it, I noticed it was posted 9 days ago! So, during the middle of the season, with the Wild not that far out of the playoff race, they had one FanPost in 9 days! that tells you a lot about that particular site

i post so many comments that are just absolute garbage and beyond dumb that id probably get banned if it were like the wilds site

I'll rec that!

I’m not just a member I’m also the president! Seriously though this is a great site and they put up with a lot of crazy nonsense.

I really do appreciate this web-community

The main stories are always well done, and there is never a lack of them. On top of that there is a bunch of people who can write up one hell of a fan post here. Everyone is respectful of each other (almost unheard of for something on the internet) even if we tend to disagree sometimes.

I like to read Canis Hoopus as well and they are very similar to this site. I guess I just assumed all of the SB nation communities were like that. I can’t believe the guy running the Wild site would be so harsh to the users… So thank you to everyone involved here, I visit this site everyday!

Man, a policy where crazy thoughts aren't allowed...

I would be banned myself from this site, much less never made a contributor. (Seriously, who does the vetting for writers on this site? Oh wait, I should shut up now.)

261 Daily Norseman readers and counting say I am a genius... the masses have spoke!

...and those who voted 'moron' were secretly Packer trolls.

I think the WIld site is more the exception.

I’ve spent time reading and posting on many other SB NFL Team sites and they all seem very tolerant and respectful. Or maybe it’s a hockey thing..?

If we couldn't post crazy stuff

I wouldn’t be a writer here. Because that’s all I write. Just sayin’…
