Are you serious?!
There have been repeated personal attacks on Mo. Todd, Lordo and now it seems Pope as well have been told to grow a pair in the last few days. It's gone too far and I respect Pope for airing his feelings about it.
The crazy, crazy thing is that we are as good as top of the league almost half way through the season... It is the overreaction from people that grinds.

It's ironic though, people naturally associate the inferno with this abuse but it's not. The only real abuse given out on here is from posters towards other posters.
The problem is people leave the game pretty emotionally fuelled and a few pints in. If they're unhappy about what they see then they can use social media to directly vent their emotions towards the players & staff. It's not just a hockey issue it's an issue in most sports.
However another issue with this in the EIHL is; some of these guys could earn more money outside hockey in a 9-5 job. They play because they love the game and because people like; Todd, the owners and Lordo spend a lot of time recruiting and convincing these players to join which is even harder now with a weak pound. If you're getting abused every week then it doesn't take long to fall out of love with the game, quit and "Pursue other interests outside of hockey".
Can't get my head round how someone can celebrate a teams success in April and then abuse them 6 months later.
