CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartly Pretty 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post 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.

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.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post 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.
