LOL, I was worried that we won't get enough teams in the pool on such short notice, but it seems to be filling up fine, we got 6 ppl so far. Hopefully we can get a few more.

Oh and the 2 games this weekend is only for the Kings and Ducks while everyone else is still playing pre-season. All the other teams start their regular season on Oct 3rd or Oct 4th.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I can change the draft to Tue. Oct 2nd. at night. Is that a better time for everyone? NPB-XK, can u make it on tues. nite?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No it's alright...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I can try to be there tomorrow after all...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*edited* I thought it was gonna be tomorrow... next saturday? It's gonna be far!

HAHAHAHA!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like everyone gets disappointed of their team this year...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was that after you knew that Boyle got hurt?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's a pretty good team if you are around 8-10 in the league...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You play for PIM too? You got some good defense for that... also with points and stuff... good balance...

 

 

[What Should You Be Doing Right Now?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to pee... because if I hold it too much, the muscles around my balls would contract and it hurts...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have BOYLE! Ahhh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's killing my defense even more...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright I've joined the league... I used different account from my other league...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just like drance, you guys can't expect some efforts from me too... haha...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I may even forget to do my line up...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too focused on my other league for money... HAHA...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But wait... I won't be there for the draft saturday so I count on the auto-draft...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least Crawford won't be able to use him again...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a strange feeling that LaBarbera would not be so bad this year for the Kings...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

just a question

i'm thinking of dropping erik johnson for cam ward, seeing as i need another goalie to fill up all 82 games for both slots, but then seeing how schneider is injured, i might have to leave johnson in, then i thought of dropping backstorm, but he's playing on the line with nylander and semin , so i should probably wait for the season to start then make my move eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually, you should be having 2 starting goalies and a 3rd one to back you up and fill 164 games (overall for 2 goalies) at the end... Because every goalies in the NHL don't play 82 games HAHAHA...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now you seem to have only 2... But it's up to you if you wanna pick a 3rd goalie later... Cam Ward is a very good one if he's available... He's supposed to improve this year...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah it's up to you and your strategy... I don't know how it is in your league so... Can't help more ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can remain like that and if you're not satisfied in the first 10 games of the season, you can start to make a move by then... Let's just hope those players in the waivers are still available...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took Bergeron very late in the draft... All GMs were ignoring him... HAHAHA!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

21 points in 23 games with the Islanders... I hope he could keep that pace... Up to Lidstrom's level hahahaha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His stats with Oilers killed him a little bit... That's why he was low in the draft ranking... Good thing many GMs in my league didn't do their homework on that one...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also hope I didn't make a bad move either...

 

 

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can count me in too but... I can't guarantee if I'll be competitive...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because... I'd be so much more focused on my league haha I'm playing there for a lot of cash...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're hardcore there! xD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah if there's gonna be over 10 GM, I'm in... I prefer when we are many...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

drance, that would be my dream team if I had yours in my league HAHA!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But in my case, we're 14 and none of us are noobs... It's even harder!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can laugh at my team hahaha... (especially defense):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the rules, stats and other stuff are different in my league...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hahaha dark, I didn't know Yahoo could do that... How many people are there in your pool?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah I also hope Erik Johnson is gonna be good and not gonna kill me in +/-... haha...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did the same last year, with the other prospect Matt Carle in the last 3 rounds... It was totally worth it for me...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for Labarbera, I think it's gonna be 50/50 with Cloutier... I didn't understand why last year, the coach (Marc Crawford) always counted on Cloutier after losing 5 games in a row with him... HAHA! Garon was way better... Too bad he's gone...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah Mike Smith is still Turco's backup... I'm the one who has Turco... I was almost last on the draft! Like... 13th place / 14...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not a chance for me to get Heatley haha! He was gone on 2nd pick! So you better be 1st or 2nd to get him...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turco was my 1st pick, Martin St-Louis was my 2nd... That's what I'm stuck with...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dark, how was your draft?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my case, 10/14 of "GM" were reunited together (including myself) on a huge table, doing our draft with our laptops... hahaha...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was fun...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end, all of us were not very satisfied with our team... HAHA... But not so disappointed either... We can't wait for the season to start...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's only one GM who wasn't there for the draft... It was by automatic pick and he ended up with a very crappy team HAHAHA! Only Jason Labarbera and Mike Smith as goalies...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My team is not bad either... I just don't like my defense... There was no good defense left at the end of the draft, I had to rely on a prospect named "Erik Johnson" of the STL...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did anybody pick him in your pool? Hahaha...

 

 

[What Should You Be Doing Right Now?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleeping... Stupid military spy training weeks...

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah Heatley was number one last year on Yahoo...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good pick! He may be my first pick (if Crosby's taken)... I believe in Crosby because he might still be improving... I think he may start to play in shorthanded too...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shorthanded goals... do you believe in Jordan Staal? Hahaha...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's Martin St-Louis, Marian Hossa, Daniel Alfredsson... They're all RW...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my opinion, that would be a huge advantage if Heatley was a LW, for Yahoo pool... He was a LW before right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alfredsson should get back to the top line with Heatley and Spezza! Hahaha! You have all three of them and you're gone for top places in the pool... and Heatley becomes LW/RW...

 

 

[Anyone Know French?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You guys can come and ask me questions about both French of France and Canadian French.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well Canadian French because we have tons of expressions and accents to the point that French people from France can't really understand us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I grew up in different towns of Quebec and I know all level of Quebec expressions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also grew up 1 year in France so I know the whole difference and expressions they use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe I can help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the moment, here, it seems like everyone already got helped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For personal help, come to me. Especially for extreme sophisticated Canadian French (Québécois)...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Je vois qu'il y a du monde Québécois ici comme moi... À moins que vous aviez tous immigré à Québec...

 

 

[What's Non-asian About You?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do nothing asian other than eating like an asian guy, use asian languages, ... What else... I'm pretty much an independent rebel in Asian communities...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mostly hang out with non asian people... But some weekends are reserved to "asian friends" in my schedules..

 

 

[NHL]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm already in the pool of my friends...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still not done with the list of players I wanna pick... Hahaha the draft is in a week for me... AHH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who would you pick up first in a pool (for 1st round)? Crosby? He's almost worth 2 players... or one of the goalies like Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo and Mikka Kipprusoff? I bet it's a top secret decision...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's for the Yahoo pool where I play for money haha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aaaanyway, it seems like there's so many Canucks fans in here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have two teams... Go Red Wings and Canadiens!
