The Everything NHL Thread

[CaptainKishimoto]

Last year's standings tell a different story ;)

 

[Chill Murray]

[18:59:43] <Teifu> you and captain cashew can start the club of people who unexplainably love subpar teams

Avalanche > Trashers tbh!

oh hey can i join the club

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

oh hey can i join the club

Ya sure, we need someone whose team is clearly worse than ours ;)

 

[Psycho]

Jeez I should probably be the leader of this club what with the Kings...though my Hawks probably keep me out of the running.

 

[Eraddd]

Do my Oilers qualify me for the club?

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Do my Oilers qualify me for the club?

Depends on how Quinn does ;)

 

[Psycho]

Do my Oilers qualify me for the club?

Probably not, they have at least been solid in previous recent years!

EDIT: Wahoo, go me 500 posts as a smogon user for over 3 years.

99% of them in the NHL thread?

Hey... thats not too far from my ratio either.

Yeah, most of them are in the NHL thread though I did start a surviving thread in the Physical Fitness thread!! All hail my achievements o.o'

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

I think I had like 200 posts before I started posting in this thread =S

 

[Psycho]

Yeah, well this thread is basically just a conversation extended over long periods of time for most of us frequent visitors.

 

[Synre]

Psycho is right about 80% of his posts in this thread, Captain is a little over 50%, lol. I'm kinda surprised I don't have a more significant amount of my posts here... "only" about 20%. Also surprised you both have more posts in this thread than me, lol. I think I easily have the most words in the thread at least... hooray for saying half as much with twice as many words!

In other news I had my first fantasy draft yesterday... I wish smogon was as easy as that public is going to be. Even with a fair bit of mock drafting I made some "mistakes" though, it'll be fun to see if I screw up the important drafts as badly as I usually do.

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

I already posted this in the league chat thing (useless =]) and I was wondering if we could get more forwards (3 of each position instead of 2), especially if we're doing a keeper.

 

[Eraddd]

there will be definitely "wtf" moments for me. I guarantee it. I make the stupidest mistakes in drafts.

 

[Vineon]

I would have liked a keeper but apparently it isn't going to be one.

I'd rather we stick with the current formula, 6 attackers and 4 defensemen.

I thought we weren't doing a keeper? I'm confuzzled =/ Anyways, I'd like to have another forward please :)

since nobody expressed opinions on formats a couple weeks ago we kept it the same as last year.

so no keepers. and why do we need more skaters?

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

I like deeper leagues <.<

i'm pretty sure several people expressed interest in doing a keeper

over and over again

but that could be bias on my part considering i was one of those people

You are right in that respect wer, that people did express interest. However, when the final tally was called for no one really spoke up so I see both sides of the story here.

Since, I would really love to see hockey return to Canada, I've been following the Coyotes bankruptcy fairly closely for the last month. For those who are interested, here is a blog that is being continually updated with the courtroom proceedings.

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Heatley deal apparently being finalized (he's going to be a Shark in any case).

interesting, interesting indeed.

 

[Synre]

What's your source on that? I haven't found anything anywhere... if it is true, it akes me glad I drafted him in my public (in the third round, lol), though I'd really been hoping they'd hold off on a deal until after the other three drafts I do happened... although honestly, did anyone NOT think this was going to happen?

Heatley is one of those athletes that is everything I hate, but somehow is still someone I like to root for... I'm kind of hoping he does well, and I watch more Pacific division games than any other division so I'll be glad he's there to entertain me.

But I'd still laugh if they played Getting Away With Murder if he scored at Ottawa or Edmonton.

 

[Vineon]

If they do move to Hamilton and the move proves to be success, it should open up the way for a return to Winnipeg and Québec. I am definitely paying attention to what's going on.

Bring me back mes Nordiques.
