the max 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Never got a PM from Goblin...let's step it up folkies. After you make your pick, send a PM to the next guy. It's not hard and it might help us get this thing done before October. Anyways, my next pick is astonishingly still available. One of the toughest motherfuckers to ever lace the skates, one of the most feared players along the wall, had a good scoring touch but if you so much as breathed on Bobby Orr or Phil Esposito the wrong way, you'd have him coming after you looking to chat about it. He scored 20+ goals eight times in his career, finishing with 277 on his career to go along with 516 assists. He was a part of one of the greatest lines in Boston Bruins history, Cashman-Hodge-Esposito, which was dominant and helped bring the Bruins two Cups. He was also a member of Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series. Niskie's probably going to kick my ass, but folks, Wayne Cashman. LW. Next pick, under the radar but a quietly good defenseman. He set the NHL record for assists as a defenseman in his rookie year with 50, was a main cog on the deadly Islanders powerplay. Defensively, he wasn't a bonecrusher but could certainly play his position well. He finished with 369 points from the blueline in only nine seasons. In the playoffs, he was still a good player finishing with 57 points in 102 games. Internationally, before he came to the States he was good for 145 points in 276 games in the Swedish leagues, playing until the age of 35. Ladies and germs, Stefan Persson. D.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Facts and figures: - It's Treble's pick in Round Eighteen. MFer somehow has made his 18th-round pick already. So, like when I jumped the gun earlier, his pick will still stand, but he's skipped, and we'll go from Nskie straight to Gert. - We're fine to go back to the 12-hour clock for the remaining two-and-a-half rounds. - Gert, EMHE, and JJ still have no team names. - I thought we'd see pretty well nothing but backup goalies in the 20th round, but EMHE, Gert, MFer, and Treble only have forwards left to pick. Max would fit into this if he had picked a coach. - He's one of four teams still without one: Goblin, Nskie, and CanadianChris are the others. - Conversely, CG and Angle both have at least one pick to make for each on-ice position, and similarly, Nskie only has goalies fully represnted. - More proof that it's a defence-first draft: CanadianChris, TakerHart, Goblin, and Max also have their defence corps represented in full.

MFer 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 - It's Treble's pick in Round Eighteen. MFer somehow has made his 18th-round pick already. So, like when I jumped the gun earlier, his pick will still stand, but he's skipped, and we'll go from Nskie straight to Gert. That's because you have me down as picking Guy Carbonneau (which I did not). I should only have 17 on my roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disregard what's in bold, it's Nskie's 18th pick, with everything officially in order, save TakerHart, who can still make his 17th pick anytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 I guess it's time to name my 6th defensemen. He'll help my team with toughness (over 2000 career PIM), and is a serviceable offensive weapon (11+29 for 40 points one year) even though he's definitely a defense-first d-man. The Northern Lights Five would like to welcome Lyle Odelein to the organization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Almost 250 picks in and this guy still hasn't been taken? Gotta be a steal right there. Sid Abel 1949 Hart Trophy winner 3-time NHL All-Star 2-time NHL All-Star 1st Team 2-time NHL All-Star 2nd Team #85 on The Hockey News list of 100 greatest hockey players A member of the original "Production Line", Abel gives me five centers now, but him and Alex Delvecchio can play left wing if needed. Also, it'll be interesting to have Abel and Maurice Richard on the same team. Along the way, Abel picked up the nickname "Boot Nose" after he taunted Maurice Richard and paid for his insult with a punch that broke his nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
