His knee-sliding celebration after scoring in OT is one of my favourite hockey highlights ever. Fuckin' Theo Fleury is a longstanding inside joke - a buddy of mine wanted to take his then-girlfriend on a date, but had no money. He thought his 1990 Pro Set Theo Fleury card would pay for said date, if traded in at a card shop. It did not. This was Theo's fault. ** I like him. JJ does not.

Guest Report post Posted May 10, 2008 I'm in. I'd like to do 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies, and 1 coach. But I'm down for whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 That seemed like a lot, but if there's only six or seven guys doing this, compared to the 16-or-so doing the NBA, 23 could be feasible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Count me in ... and while I'm pretty laid-back about roster sizes & whatnot, I do think having a full roster makes sense (12+6+2, plus a coach). Era cap, or can I pick Joe Malone, "One Eye" Frank McGee and George Hainsworth? I think players that are too old-school would be detrimental to your cause. If we're doing this the same way the NBA one is done, we'd be agreeing on a "best team" winner at the end, correct? And if the person isn't well known by the masses, it might hinder your chances of winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Can a guy who is/was a player and coach get drafted twice? Nah, it should be done like the NBA one is: a person can be drafted once and only once. If he's taken as a player, can't be taken as a coach and vice versa.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Right now, since my 3-day non-stop work marathon is now over. Let's do the 12-6-2-1 roster. The same guy can't be drafted twice under player/coach rules, as mentioned. You can draft an ex-player as a coach (or vice-versa) to your liking. For example, if you'd rather have Guy Carbonneau beind your bench instead of a two-way centre, go right ahead. Snake-like order draft, which I just drew at random. 1) CanadianChris 2) EHME 3) CanadianGuitarist 4) Angle Is God 5) UndertakerHart 6) KingOfThe909 7) Gert 8) MFerExtreme 9) Niskie 10) Treble 11) Smartly 12) Baron 13) Goblin Clock will be 24 hours - starting at 1 am eastern on May 15. Feel free to speed things up and submit your pick if it's your turn. Anyone who misses two straight picks will be disqualified, and have their roster thrown back in the pool. CC, lead us off.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Oh my God, are you serious? I get to pick first? Really? And here I was just hoping for a top-5 pick. OK then...this wasn't quite the no-brainer that it would seem, but close: Wayne Gretzky, C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Mario Lemieux, Centre. Arguably the most talented player to ever play hockey(IMO he is)... Problay would've selected him 1st overall had I had the 1st pick aswell. He is the perfect player to build a team around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 I'm going to go against the grain and start off between the pipes: I don't like him personally, but he's, in my opinion, the best goalie of all time. Even though I've cooled off on 'wins' as a stat, 534 is still nearly 18 years of 30-win seasons (and he played in an era with ties). Add that to three Conn Smythes - no one ever came to play like St. Patrick. Angle, the floor is yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 While I'm not sure if we'll even get to my pick over the weekend, I want to give y'all the caveat in advance regardless ... I don't have internet access on weekends and thus if my pick comes up, I'll probably be unable to make my selection before Monday. I'll try to get online at some point between now & then to limit the down-time, but I rarely go online on the weekends so can't guarantee anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
