Apparently, there is some question as to who had the best team this year. Eagles fans like whttryrage have been posting comments on my site about their supposed superiority. I am here to remind them that the RAGE RULED THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR. I didn't always feel this way, but after some moral support and sound arguments posted on my site by other rage fans I have seen the light. POINT BY POINT - why the rage should be given the presidents cup.
1. Before January, No team could beat us. Unbelievable record that showed our dominance. Things went slightly downhill after that, but who cares. If you look into it, you will see that a combination of horrible refs and not getting a single break caused us to miss the playoffs.
2. It's all about the regular season. More specifically, the first half of the regular season. I hate to keep harping on this, but we were vastly superior before january. We were in fact so strong, that it is ridiculous to award the presidents cup to anyone else. Who was better than us when we were playing our best? No one. Stupid refs and not getting any breaks will cause teams to lose. Playoffs are just a glamour show to add revenue to teams before the offseason. It's in the beginning of the regular season that true champs shine. I am starting to see the playoffs as like a consolation prize for those who didn't bring it in the regular season can have something positive to reflect upon in the off season. Like, well we weren't really a good team and our regular season record was ok, but at least we won a couple playoff rounds and got a trophy, maybe next year we will be better when it counts.
3. If we had made the stupid playoffs, we would have won. Can any one doubt this? Look at our record (before jan). We dominated. I would have been surprised to lose a single game in the playoffs. I think we would have been 12-0. Brahmas? Eagles? Steelhounds? Laredo? etc. WE RULED THEM THIS SEASON.
4. On paper, statistically, before jan, we have the best numbers in the league. Based on the strength of this, they should stop the playoffs right now (nobody cares anyway) and give us the cup.
5. If whytryrage's team, the eagles, win the whole thing, WHAT DOES THAT PROVE? Face it, during the first half of the season (before the above mentioned conspiracy against us), you had no hope against us. We racked up win after win against you. So you managed to take advantage of all the breaks and got all the calls and limped into the playoffs? Big deal.
So if any members of the head of the CHL are reading, stop the playoffs, give us the cup and justice will be served. I am planning on getting a championship ring made that states the fact that we won it all in 2008, because aside from the formalities, we did.
I'M CALLING OUT ALL MY FELLOW RAGE FANS AND THE MANY OTHERS WHO WILL AGREE WITH MY ARGUMENT TO JAM THE INTERNETS WITH BLOGS STATING THE RAGE WON IN 2008. BE PROUD, BE LOUD, WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN IF YOU JUST BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so freaking pumped right now that I dumped my soy chai beansprout latte on my pants.
Rageman... You just need to learn when to say when. Once again, you take things so far (before January), that it would lead anyone who reads your posts to wonder where your true interests are. Not to mention, you drink "Soy Chai Beansprout" Latte's. Where do you buy one of those? Or, are you one of those resourceful phonies that makes one at home? If that is the case, it sucks to be you.
RageaholicSo, for now I'll take you at face value and assume you are a Rage fan. As I said before, if you are not a Rage fan - shame on you for kicking the Rage and their fans when they are down after a miserable last third of the season. You have to admit, the CHL refs are a bunch of hockey wanna be's that get a rise out of making bad calls, especially against the Rage. The Eagles and Scorpions rarely got penalties at the BEC.
I am going to go enjoy my non "Soy Chai Beansprout" Latte. If you are really drinking one of those, you need to get a life outside of Broomfield and your favorite coffee shop. I would really like to know if someone REALLY sells that flavor. I bet not, just as I would bet that you are not a true Rage fan.
I met another guy at the games this year. Tim, is a nice, down to earth guy. He and I hook up for brewskies now and again. If you are a true Rage fan, we should all go out and discuss next year's potential sometime.
