Blainville a team that never had a rebuil there always competitive we need there gm or coach they finished 14th this year they upset Val Dor in playoffs but they were not competitive as a whole this year and had to rely on the most boring style of play to keep games close they also have never been successful in playoffs when they are a top team Pretty sure they lost in back to back semis to Baie Comeau, and that's about it

CB is a lovely place to visit, but the shortest roadtrip is to Halifax and its still 4 hrs with good road conditions. Everywhere else is 5+ hrs. That becomes undesirable for players and Coaches because they spend so much time on the bus. Add in a Coach that isn't noted for developing players for the next level and players that have clout (highly rated) or other options (NCAA) start saying "I don't want to play there".

Because in this reality, it looks like a Charlottetown Islanders fan on a Cape Breton Screaming Eagles message board telling us all how unsuccessful the Armada have been in the playoffs. So lets examine that statement, shall we? Lets go back 4 seasons. Over that time frame: BLB Armada have played in 10 playoff rounds, winning 6 of them, with a record of 28-24 ( .538 winning %) Meanwhile, Charlottetown and CB COMBINED have played: 10 Playoff rounds, winning only 3 with a record of 22-34 ( .392 winning %) The armada are significantly more successful in the playoffs than your team and the team who's boards your posting on COMBINED. So yea, If that's "unsuccessful", you WISH the either of these teams were "unsuccessful".

What does any of that have to do with the conversation at hand?
My team has had very little playoff success never said they did heck we haven't even had much regular season success
My comment was in response to the poster suggesting blainville never rebuilds and is wildly successful ... Both of which are simply not true
But if you feel better with your post calling me an idiot good for you
And it's posted on this board because that was the board the guy I was responding to posted it on

There are 18 teams in the league, and you should know as well as anyone how difficult it actually is to get to be one of the top 4, considering you cheer for a team that has literally never done that. For you to then turn around and call a franchise unsuccessful for doing what the Rocket/Islanders have NEVER DONE two seasons in a row, makes you sound like a pompous, delusional hypocrite, holding other teams to a standard your team can't achieve. If you define success as "winning a championship", then there are 17 unsuccessful teams every year, and some teams have never been successful at all. Blainville hasn't really had to rebuild prior to this season, and they've always been surprisingly good despite it. The numbers bear that out. But hey, I wasn't calling you an idiot, I was just pointing out facts. If FACTS make you look like an idiot, than you should probably re-consider your stance.

Blainville we're rebuilding this year
But hey I guess that fact should be ignored right?
They were 14th in the league during a rebuilding season and managed to upset a team in the first round
When they "went for it" they never made it to the finals let alone win a championship
That has nothing to do with cape Breton or Charlottetown and frankly I am not sure why you chose to attack that post the way you did
What exactly did I say that was wrong? Please enlighten me
While you're at it show me where I said my team has done it better... I'll save you the time I didn't
Pompous hypocrite? Really

None of this BBA talk has anything to do with our overagers... Thanks for the memo but not every thread on these boards has to absolutely stick to 1 topic. Just post about that topic if you want to add/respond to that conversation. Trying to dictate what others are talking about just makes the situation worse and further takes the conversation away from the topic.

Trying to dictate what others are talking about just makes the situation worse and further takes the conversation away from the topic. Well i apologize for opening and assuming the thread would be more about our upcoming overagers rather then a debate about BBAs rebuilding and how successful they are or arent. And how does it take away from the topic at hand further by me mentioning that? I apologize if I am wrong, cant always be right like some people.

Please enlighten me While you're at it show me where I said my team has done it better... I'll save you the time I didn't Pompous hypocrite? Really I never said the fact that they were rebuilding this year should be ignored, I even mentioned, previous to this year, they never really had a rebuild. As for their "went for it" year, they never really did go for it. This is why they were good for so long, because they hardly ever spent assets to load up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall them ever going out and getting a premier guy at the deadline. It's debatable if that's a good or bad thing, but it certainly contributed to not needing to rebuild for so long. As for what you said that was wrong, again, this depends on your definition of success. To call 2 consecutive years as a final 4 team, one of them going 7 games unsuccessful, I disagree with that strongly. And yes, I think you're pompous and arrogant for shitting on that accomplishment. I'm not saying you said your team has done better, but I'd expect you of all people to appreciate that getting to round 3 isn't easy. So getting there 2 years in a row is an accomplishment to be proud of.

Well, to be fair, the topic of the overagers isn't a very complex one, it's essentially, here's 4 options, pick 3, trade one. If you're lucky, you'll get Bishop back (which I'm hoping so you can trade him to Halifax to play with his little brother )

Everyone aspires to be a champion, everyone wants to be Chicago or LA. I think I just have built up frustration reading the Habs boards on HF. There's a really common attitude among that fan base, a black and white extreme of Championship or Bust. There is a grey area somewhere between : [Complete waste of time]-------------------------------------[Championship] , and while not making it all the way over to the right on that chart may be disappointing, I feel like some people don't appreciate the journey, which is most of the fun.
