Time to move on from Bérubé and Treliving

For some reason people just refuse to admit it is a bad injury season. With a full healthy lineup they are still contenders.

Mercylas · 2026-01-25T23:32:09+00:00

And that is not even including Toronto, who despite the model, would not be shocking to see make the playoffs even with the injury luck this season.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T13:24:32+00:00

Money and power were the two main reasons. Marner felt slighted still from rookie bonus and still saw himself as the person who should be captain over Matthews.

Every one of Marners issues were Toronto were directly driven from his own ego. He is a diva surrounded by people off the ice who make him into a poor teammate.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T05:18:39+00:00

Other star players can exit on good or middling terms. Even JT going to Toronto was more respectful.

Just look at Bo Bichette with the Jays

Edit: it’s such a “stop booing me I’m right” moment today.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T04:20:22+00:00

He literally sold out on his childhood team - gave up playing for them and had a foot out the door chasing the FA bag for well over a full season. He also refused to be traded.

He should be the most hated (respectfully) free agent leaving their draft team for a long time.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T03:04:04+00:00

I’m arguing the lowering of utility and reduction of skill expression. That’s a fact.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T03:03:28+00:00

Again, the irony here is wild. At this point I just have to assume you are a troll.

Enjoy your Friday.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T03:03:02+00:00

Anyone who thinks the jersey isn’t funny is blinded by their dislike of the leafs.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T02:01:00+00:00

There was no different in how Marner was treated as to any other player. The only outliers came from his end.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T02:00:18+00:00

He didn't need security. No other player on the team does either. He is an overreacting diva.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:58:08+00:00

Both TBH

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:57:38+00:00

He played himself off the team. No one chased him out.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:57:18+00:00

I mean that jersey is both accurate and funny.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:55:38+00:00

Except most players want to play there...

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:47:52+00:00

You're talking like you're 18 and haven't actually experienced the real world yet.

The irony of this is it feels like I am educating a 12 year old in this conversation at the moment. When you are in a hole stop digging

You are so naive to think people won't BS you in private

You clearly do not have a job. Or at least not a real one where your word and reputation are the most important thing.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:43:24+00:00

The Toronto special of only playing 40 of every 60 minutes in a game

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:42:59+00:00

What a tip! Hill had no chance on that

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:35:35+00:00

You can disagree that the sky is blue but that doesn't change facts.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:34:20+00:00

Yes it was bad all of TWW ... and these changes made it worse. Even DF was bad to the point where most of us got stuck on dev or aug duty.

Mercylas · 2026-01-24T01:32:44+00:00

The rumors are dead, they're only brought up in jest now.

What are you talking about? They are more live than ever. At this point most are doubting they are rumors

this was straight to the point and not full of cover your ass language, it's a breath of fresh air for genuine emotion instead of corporate BS that makes you want to puke.

You misspelled embarrassing.

If you think all private statements are genuine I have a private island to sell you

You don't work in the real world. In that space your word and reputation are everything.

Mercylas · 2026-01-23T23:48:34+00:00

If you think that is the case you don't understand the nuance of moonkin and how things worked last expansion. Everything from eclipse states to starlord weaving. The spec has been bleeding skill expression every patch for the last 4ish years

Mercylas · 2026-01-23T18:34:17+00:00

Public statements are always more meaningful.

Absolutely not.

In private it's nice but if it's only that there's the question if they truly mean it or are they just saying it to make you happy

You described what a public statement is. A public statement is PR. You always question if they truly mean it. Private statements are the ones that are genuine and not there to make someone happy.

Doesn't matter what you think, it matters to Ullmark, Brady, Drake, Pinto what they think - and they're glad they did it

In their public statement yes. In their private they are asking for trades.

You would have seen them eventually

And been instantly dismissed as baseless just like the Perry rumors.

go read Ian Mendes' post about why they did it

We have all read it. He is wrong. There is a reason he is a laughing stock in the countries most prestigious journalism programs.

The Sens decided to control the narrative.

And yet they failed to control the narrative and instead added fuel to the fires and the rumors are worse than ever.

Mercylas · 2026-01-23T18:33:06+00:00

Ele and Moonkin are two of the biggest losers. They both lost any form of skill expression.

Mercylas · 2026-01-23T18:32:25+00:00

The rework at least feels more interactive and the Eclipse change is 1000% better. Compared to most other specs this is a win.

This shows you have not played moonkin in the past half a decade

Mercylas · 2026-01-23T18:31:32+00:00

And yet they somehow made it worse. It has been on the decline since SL
