nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 I've selected a great goaltender and a great defensemen. But neither of them are the kind of guy that you'd put on the cover of your media guide, or the kind of player that guarantees that the networks will want to show your games. Neither one is a face of a franchise. But Sidney Crosby is that kind of guy and that kind of player. And while there are players with better career numbers, I'm going with what he's capable of doing rather than what he's already done. The Northern Lights Five are proud to select Sidney Crosby with their 3rd round selection. In lieu of a picture, I'm going to ask everyone to watch the Stanley Cup - there's a slim chance that they might show him or talk about him there. - 100+ points as a rookie - led the league in scoring in his second year, becoming the youngest player in North American sports to do so - won the Hart Trophy as a teenager - dives & whines with the best of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 I was wondering when he was going to be picked. I had a glimmer of hope that he might fall all the way down to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Time's up, EMHE. Pity pick at the end of the second round, a la Baron's pick of Toe Blake. Can I use my draft pick now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Time's up, EMHE. Pity pick at the end of the second round, a la Baron's pick of Toe Blake. Can I use my draft pick now? First, why was Angle is God skipped? Edit: Oh. my fault. Well, clearly others missed it as well. Sorry, Angle. Due to the overall fuckuppery, here's the new draft order to finish the third round: Max, Angle, EMHE. To start the fourth round: Angle, Max. After that, we'll screw up less, and we'll continue.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Two things that I can't believe weren't brought up with the selection of Glenn Hall. One is a record that will never be broken. The other is a record that hopefully never will. Glenn Hall started 504 straight games. He threw up before each one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 So what's the order now? I don't think Smartly should be picking again, he just picked. Everyone being absent has fucked it all up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Baron's pick was taken away, and Goblin picked, so it's your picks and Smartly is a moron. I assume I get a pity pick after you pick, but regardless, it's definitely not Smartly's pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Again I could be wrong but doesn't Max pick after Gobblin? It also seems like Smartly made two picks in this round (unless he was supposed to and I missed it). The order is fucked and we really should start keeping better track of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 And now the end of the round is all fucked up, Smartly seems to be picking whenever he wants, and I don't even know why I don't get my two picks at the end of the round... What the fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Again, here's what happened. Smartly just kind of jumped in wherever, but it's Max's picks. Then I'm assuming I get an end-of-round pity pick, having inherited Baron's team and his missed pick. Then it's Goblin's pick again and the universe is in harmony.

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 What about my pity pick? It was partially my fault for not making it (but moreso the guy I asked to do it instead who didn't) but I explained that I wouldn't be able to make it and I got skipped without mention which fucked things up in the first place.

JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 I wasn't aware you got a pity pick, that must've slipped by me. I guess you'd pity pick first because you come first in the draft order, but I'm not entirely sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2008 From the look of things, we should erase Smartly's pick of Leetch, and go: Max EHME Angle is God JJ Johnson Max Goblin Smartly Also, if I could make a suggestion, if someone isn't here to pick, I say we just skip them and let them come in and pick whenever they come back, a la the NFL draft. This picking at the end of the round is too confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
