Zetterberg is God Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I'll take my final defenseman with this pick: Kenny Jönsson, D Swedish Elite League rookie of the year, 1993 Swedish Elite League player of the year, 2006 Two time Olympic gold medalist (1994, 2006) World Championship gold (2006), silver (2004) and bronze (1994) medalist Named best defenseman at the 2006 Olympics NHL All Star, 1999
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Alright, I still need some defencemen, and I'd like a tough guy before I add a goon. Not very offensive (except to Punch Imlach), but a great hitter, and a tough guy. He came back into overtime to score the winner in Game 6 of the 64 Cup Finals after breaking his ankle in the first period. Gentlemen, Bob Baun.
CanadianChris Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Well, my right winger made it, anyway: Gamblin' Rick Tocchet, RW As for my last left winger, he was a slightly sentimental pick, but he was tough and could score when needed, and is a perfect fit on the fourth line: Wendel Clark, LW
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 God dammit. Even though I knew he wouldn't make it back to me, I was hoping for Clark. Tocchet's a good pick, too.
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 I'm still torn between two forwards, so I'll let the rest of you decide for me, and I'll lock up my backup goalie. Might be a bit of a stretch in an all-time draft, but plenty of pedigree, and a fine junior career. Roberto Luongo.
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 WhatIf didn't quite work out as planned, so we'll do a regular season like the NBA draft; each GM will 'sell' us on his team and once that's done, PM me your ranks of each team (1-14), and the top eight teams will make the 'playoffs'. I haven't quite worked out a playoff scheme yet, but I'm thinking something along the lines of assigning three or four guys to roundtable each series.
Zetterberg is God Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Yeah I can't think of a forward so I'll grab my backup now as well. Probably better choices out there but I think this guy is a good fit. Solid team guy and you wouldn't hesitate to throw him in. Also the "worst" goalie to win three Cups, including two as a starter: Chris Osgood, G 363 wins 47 shutouts 2.43 career GAA Three Stanley Cup championships Two time Jennings trophy winner Four time all star Scored a goal in a 1996 game versus Hartford
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I am so so sorry for forgetting about this man: LW Adam Graves
Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I need another forward, preferably a right handed shot. I realized Owen Nolan wasn't taken. He's my guy. One of few real power forwards to come after Neely.
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Good picks. Nolan was one of three missing parts of a curious stat I noticed; I won't mention it as it's pretty well name-dropping, at least not for now. I doubt the other two will be taken; maybe one of them.
CanadianChris Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I'm curious now. Since I'm done picking skaters, could you PM me who you're talking about?
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Forwards Adam Graves- Mark Messier- Teemu Selanne Slava Kozlov- Henri Richard- Theo Fleury Sean Avery- Tiger Williams- Darren McCarty Adam Oates- Joffrey Lupul Defense Raymond Borque- Eric Desjardins Adam Foote- Ulf Samuelsson Derian Hatcher- Craig Hartsburg Goaltenders Mike Vernon XXX XXXXXXX Coach: Mike Keenan These are my tentative lines so far. Edit: I forgot about Adam Oates.
CanadianChris Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Here's what I'm looking at (subject to change): Propp-Gretzky©-Lafleur Gainey-Savard-Geoffrion Tonelli-Brind'Amour-McDonald Clark-Hunter-Tocchet Shore-Fetisov Salming-Laperrierre Tremblay-Huddy Tretiak (Broda) Coach: Bob Johnson
the max Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Bucyk-Dionne-Francis Goulet-Perrault-Schmidt Cashman-Smith-Lemaire Broten- Lidstrom-Park Howe-Morrow Duchesne-Persson Hasek Parent
Zetterberg is God Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 So far it's pretty much the order I picked them in but I'll most likely make some changes. Shanahan-Stastny-Howe Krutov-Datsyuk-Kharlamov Anderson-Turgeon-Cournoyer ?-?-Holmstrom Stevens-Housley Johnson-Jonsson Wilson-Quackenbush Plante-Osgood
Gert T Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 With my 18th selection, I take: Dave "The Hammer' Schultz/LW Am I one pick behind also? I thought I saw someone with 19 picks. I may have counted wrong.
MFer Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Martin St. Louis 2004 Art Ross, Hart, and Lester B. Pearson winner 4-time NHL All-Star 2004 NHL All-Star 1st team 2007 NHL All-Star 2nd team He's small, but he's a damn good player too. Gives my team that shot of "electricity" that I need. Also leaves me with five former Hart winners on my squad.
nl5xsk1 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 No time for a picture, but the Five select Joe Juneau. 102 points as a rookie (including a LW record 70 assists), a good playoff run with the Caps, and potentially a good yodeler.
JJ Johnson Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Don't really need another center, but he's available and I think that's ridiculous. Vincent Lecavalier.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Hahaha, if you'd have let my drop Peca I'd have taken Lecalvalier where I took Redden. Haha.
the max Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I just realized that I only have one active player on my team. A shock.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 3rd all-time in PIM. And Philadelphia loves him. This is great also.
