With all that has gone on between Russia and the election....

[tvstrip]

Isn't it a little ironic that there's a very good chance that today (or within the next several days) the most popular man in Washington will be a prominent Russian?

Actually it WAS about hockey. The "prominent Russian" talked about in the op. Is in refference to Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. Just so you know. If anything it should have been moved to sports.


That is all, carry on

Omg

Quite possibly one of the strangest twists on a thread yet.

Ya, that was bizarre considering the author of the thread talked about hockey in each of his posts. Did he hijack his own thread?

:dunno:

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I wanna hijack my own thread :shy:

 

[tvstrip]

I don't think it was hijacking... can't threads be "hybrids" that are equally political and another field?
Case in point, we have several active threads in P/R that deal with fictional TV shows more than politics.

As for the political relevancy of this thread (and why it belongs here more than sports):
Alex Ovechkin lines up behind pal Putin in Russian election

I was going to comment with "Ovi!", originally, but I don't give a shit about hockey unless the Red Wings are in the finals. The political relevancy (and it's tie-in to sports) in your OP was obviously lost on some.

Show me your papers.

Well, it started as a hockey thread, then Connor says it wasn't and deleted material. I don't know what the topic is now. :dunno:

I'll just leave this here I suppose ...

I like Sunshine and Lollipops! And Mr. Sandman. Because he brings me dreams.

The origial post had no name, so most people coming into a political thread will not assume that thread has anything to do in reference to hockey.

As for why I intervened, I did so after a complaint.

So, the lesson here is, the OP should have been a little more clear on whatever message he was trying to convey.

Damn! Someone complained about that?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

:wtf:

We have to narrow this down team! Russia, election and hockey. And the post went on for 24 hours before Tvstrip replied to his own thread about no hockey fans. That is when RJ came in. RJ went on about the lockdown and money spent because of caving, never watch and went as far about if NFL does it he will boycott the NFL. That is when Tvstrip started talking about hockey, posting scores and whatnot. Vegas 1 to whatever ultimately to 3 to 4....

Either way, patooey! Patooey I declare! This thread should be apart of the Metoo movement now!!!! It has been assaulted and shoved into obscurity!

Restore OP! Restore OP! Restore OP!

We shall persevere! We shall persevere!

that was the point. It would've defeated it if he had said ovechkin.

who complained?


I call bullshit or that person who complained needs to be called out for being a fucking retard.

Can Connor MaCLOD please stick to college football when it comes to moderating?

It's not like he's getting paid for this.
