CanadianGuitarist Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 Much like when I screwed over CC with my pick of Kurri, I had considered taking Spezza to put a wrench in your machine.
Smartly Pretty Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 First Brad Park, then Ken Morrow. I swear to God Max, you're fucking killing me. And CG, honestly, if you had a team of a Gretzkyless Kurri and a Heatley/Alfredsonless Spezza, you'd only be hurting yourself. Kurri, ok, but Spezza? I'd never dream of picking him without the other 2.
the max Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Ha ha ha. I almost picked Morrow last round but knew that if I did, I could say bye bye to Perrault. Lidstrom-Park Howe-Morrow That's a fucking dynamite top 4. I dare any motherfucker to lineup against them, knowing that not only do you have to get through them, but you have to score on Hasek or Parent.
CanadianChris Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Assuming I get a fourth guy of better quality than, say, Hal Gill, I'd match my top four against anyone.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 The Nickelback-hating brother I often bring up effing loves Hal Gill. We were playing NHL 08 when I called him a pylon. Naturally, Gill went on to score the Leafs second, third, and game-winning fifth goal (in OT).
JJ Johnson Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Goblin's 12 are up, so I present... the man! The myth! The possible answer to "What does Brian do?"! Brian Bellows, W 3-time All Star 485 goals 537 assists Name is a complete sentence Youngest captain in NHL history; was an interim, which is why the record is Crosby's
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 To add more scoring to an already potent line-up: Steve Shutt, LW - Averaged almost a PPG in 99 playoff games (98pts), had 4 seasons of 45+ goals (including one where hit 60), is a +393 for his career, a phenomenal two-way player, 3 time all-star, hockey hall of famer, 5 time Stanley Cup champion etc. Shutt is another solid two way player who is consistent giving me Kariya, Zetterberg and Shutt as my left wings which is, unquestionably, the best LW stable so far. Plus, another proven winner, never can get enough of those.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 The possible answer to "What does Brian do?"! Dates my kindergarten teacher. Yes, "Miss Debbie" was dating Brian Bellows when I was four.
Nightwing Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Herb Brooks, Head Coach Steal of the Round. Excellent choice.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I was thinking of picking him. He didn't exactly turn out to be a good pro coach but I'll just pretend your picking on his behalf.
Smartly Pretty Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 He was just fine as a pro coach. Fastest coach in Rangers history to 100 wins. Also, people forget he won silver in 2002 as well.
nl5xsk1 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Unless I'm mistaken, Treble's 12 hours are up ... With the (whatever pick this is), the Northern Lights Five would like to welcome Howie Morenz, center, to the organization. Considered hockey's first true "superstar", he played a huge role in establishing the NHL in the US. Injuries shortened his career, but when he was healthy, he was one of the best point producers in a defense-first league. A couple of Harts, a couple of Art Ross's. Voted #15 in The Hockey News' 100 Greatest Players.
CanadianChris Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Shit, he was my next pick for sure. Nice.
MFer Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I've only got two defensemen, so I'd better pick another one before the pickings get slim. Kevin Lowe
treble Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Serge Savard is listed as a forward, even though he's a defenseman. I'll fix it. And, since I want a good back-up goalie: Curtis Joseph
Gert T Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 With my next selection, Gert's team takes: Sandis Ozolinsh/D I needed another big Defenseman.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 Critically overlooked to the Penguins early 90's success. Derailed by off-ice coke addiction, but one of the best players of the early 90's.
Guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 It's time to add more grit to this team. We're proud to select Clark Gillies.
Zetterberg is God Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 I probably missed something but did the order get fucked again? CG picked before 909, UndertakerHart and me.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 CG, you suck! You need to keep things in order!
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Cam Neely meet Ulf Samuelsson!
Zetterberg is God Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 I won't lie and say I know a lot about my next pick but it sounds like he was underappreciated (I guess playing with Doug Harvey will do that). He was also the reason Harvey didn't win seven consecutive Norris Trophies: Tom Johnson, D 51 goals 213 assists 264 points Six Stanley Cup championships Norris Trophy winner, 1959 Hall of Fame inductee, 1970
CanadianChris Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Fun fact: I actually had an email published on one of those ESPN.com Page 2 top 10 lists about how much I hated Ulf Samuelsson. The list was top 10 most hated players, and he wasn't on there, so I felt compelled to make a case for him in the reader feedback portion. Fuck that guy.
nl5xsk1 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Cam Neely meet Ulf Samuelsson! Note to self: Pick a real, true enforcer to beat the living shit out of Ulfie when the Five play against UndertakerHart's team. Yes, Neely will want to do so himself - again - but I don't want my top-line RW spending 5 minutes in the box for fighting, or 5-10 in the house of corrections for aggravated assault. Let a 4th line goon go to jail.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Since that ass monkey CG already went ahead and made his pick out of the order, it's my fucking turn... Randy Carlyle, Defenseman Awards and Honors: Norris Trophy: 1980-81 (Pittsburgh) NHL All-Star First Team: 1980-81 (Pittsburgh) All-Star Game: 1981, 1982 (Pittsburgh), 1985, 1993 (Winnipeg)
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 Cam Neely meet Ulf Samuelsson! Fuck you. This. And though it's right to blame me for letting things get outta order, I've been on a bender, and picked (rightly), after Angle. The day-and-a-half server maintence was a cancer on this draft. Edit: I was plastered when I picked Stevens. Not that it impacted my selection, but I interpreted Angle's "Wrong Thread" as his selection. (What happened there, anyway?). So, yeah, I'm entirely at fault. My first round opponent will receive a one-game lead in our playoff series. I'll look into whatifsports tomorrow and toss some ideas around as to get a fantasy tourney going. Double edit: We're updated. I'd like to see a 'pm the next draftor' system in place.
