Don't Mess With The Metro

First of all, hello to all of our readers. I’m Tyler and I’m a new writer for Don’t Mess With the Metro. You may know me from my design account on Twitter (@stbvisuals) but little did you know I have capabilities of actually forming sentences with words instead of just placing pictures together! Crazy, huh? Well, I’m the new guy on this website and hopefully you’ll like what I have to contribute. Just know if you don’t like it, you’re a delicate little cupcake. Now that we have that out of the way, I can explain how this whole ordeal is going to work.

Every week, the boys here at DMWM will be voting on the teams who had the best weeks. This will include game performances, trades, signings, re-signings, waivers, trade blocks, and pretty much any type of news that would concern that team.

Note: rumors are fake and won’t be discussed. I can tell you right now that we aren’t going to be one of these run-of-the-mill, no-good, incompetent rumor headquarters that call their hunches “sources.” No. If you want that, go on Twitter. No one likes those guys. Those guys probably eat unfrosted poptarts and wear Velcro slides. We aren’t them. So don’t come to us with “oMg I hEaRd ThAt My FaVoRiTe TeAm Is TrAdInG mY fAvOrItE pLaYeR” because it’s #FakeNews.

For an example of how things will go down, let’s say the Carolina Hurricanes pick up a player off of waivers who has a previous history of playing well when given proper chances (cough cough Adam Clendening cough cough) AND they go on a 3-1-1 stretch during the week, with 2 of those wins coming on the road. They will climb the rankings, if the boys here at DMWM feel like their moves have made them more likely at a playoff spot, and ultimately, a chance at the Cup.

Now, let’s say the Columbus Blue Jackets don’t make any transactions but go on a 0-4-1 stretch during the week. They will (most likely) fall in the standings.

Please note that all decisions are made by our own crew and our own opinions and not just one person. So please don’t come hunting us down and threatening us just because your GM made a bonehead move. That’s not our fault. Deal with it.

This is just a pretty straight-forward and to-the-punch description of how things are going to be going down here.

Have a nice day and if you don’t, I hope your team loses its season opener.
