No i don't feel i am the oracle never claimed to be but I do feel that I have more knowledge than the average person about the sport this I will not deny, yes playing at that level does give me an advantage wether you like it or not or does the kid playing Bantam have the same knowledge as the NHLer? You can't help but learn something when it is part of your life for so long, do you have any idea how much I gave up for the sport no you don't, and to have someone tell me it means nothing, and someone who sits there and reads a paper and all he can do is spout stats, knows the game in and out like I do is quite insulting, especially someone who only watches the game, at least if it was someone with experience (equal or greater) I could tolerate it. If I come off as being conceited or a prick about my hockey knowledge so be it I really don't care anymore I know more than you get over it and move on I've tried saying sorry with no effect, you go through what I went through for this game I love, I've dislocated and separated both shoulders the right one 9 times and the left one 7 I'm 26 and filled with arthritis from being smashed around the rink, my kneesd are trashed, my body is like an orchestra when I walk everything creaks and cracks when you have made that kind of sacrifice then maybe just maybe I will value your opinion until then you are some guy who thinks he knows something and doesn't really know anything.

I am still curious how my opinion is no more valid than the average person when you do something for a long period of time you get good at it unless you really suck and you learn things about the game or whatever it is you are doing. Does a mechanics opinion hold the same value as someone who has just looked under the hood of a car for the first time? I think not unless you are an idiot you will listen to the mechanic.

Well I've had enough for now I'm sure i'll have more to deal with later so keep em coming I can handle it. Good Day
