Thanks Ben - some Karma for you. I\'ve pumped you up to 20 now.

[Crazynuck]

see goaliepost.com

[smack]

Harding is now slated to start for Minnesota.

Thanks Dobbs, apparently someone seems it was undeserving and took away some of my karma :laugh: oh well. Thanks again.

Your probably thinking its me Ben because of our past discussions and the fact that you Karma went down two and I was one of the two ppl to respond to this post. I\'m here to make the site better and don\'t have time to worry about little things like taking away ppls karma. Just thought I\'d mention this because someone took Karma from me and i\'m just assuming its you after reading this post. I also want to put bad blood from the past behind us.

Makes me wonder who thinks its undeserving if Dobber was the one that gave it to you.

[Dobber]

It\'s okay - I overpay Ben\'s Karma because he has some great posts and I know he\'ll get knocked down a couple. In the long run, my karma boosts will win :lol:

As for Ben vs. Crazynuck vs. Flyer - since we can\'t do a cage match (unless someone owns a big cage? let me know!) I have another idea to settle it once and for all. I will start a post in \"other\" about it.

[Crazynuck]

This email was just to let Ben know there are no hard feelings and I like how we have different views. His opinions have added to my hockey knowledge.
Bring on the cage match.

[VintageVibe]

I never assumed it was you Crazynuck for the reasons you have so graciously stated.

[VintageVibe]

It was probably goavsgo...no need to worry.
