CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 Edit: After spending four days limping my computer through a virus/spy sweep, we're forseeably back up and running. For the record, I have had this PC since 2006. In nearly three years of porn and gambling online, not a single problem. SNEAKERS O FUCKING TOOLE sent my computer into a tailspin. Double edit: I kind of like the story above, so even six months later, I'll keep it....anyway, I've brought up the draft in conversation a few times with people who aren't posters here.

Goalie: Dominik Hasek, Bernie Parent Coach: Jack Adams *Unlike Clarke, Suter, Roenick, and Samuelsson, I like Theo. 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.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Also, even though I got the AD reference in JJ's team name (and let's keep the David Cross jokes to a minimum), it reminded me of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes back to college, and the NRC shows up at the power plant. "No, we're not a nuclear plant. We make cookies here, uh, that's right, cookies. Mr. Burns old-fashioned, good time, extra-chewy...." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Smartly Pretty's out of town until the 20th or so, but I know the general idea of his team. Would it terribly offend anyone if I wrote a synopsis for him, or is he just going to have to go on his own players' merits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 We have write-ups for five of the fourteen teams. Gert still needs a captain, but all lines are submitted. I'm going to be Nazi about the write-up deadline. If you don't sell us on your team by Monday night, tough luck. Starting at 12:01 Tuesday, you can pm me your rankings: Exclude your own team, and rate the others on a 1-13 scale. I'll tally the results (I'm hoping this can occur Wednesday on my day off. More likely, it'll be between my shifts later in the week. I work days Thursday and afternoons Friday, so I have some downtime to get everything together). I'll heed CC's suggestion. All fourteen teams make the playoffs, with 3-14, 4-13, etc. Teams 1 and 2 get a bye. From there, I'll assign a selection of bi-partisan GM's to pick a winner. (I'll repost that criteria shortly). For the greater good, I have no problem with JJ doing Smartly's synopsis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
