you better be there for the live draft... we need some realtime trash talking to set the tone for the season.

[bishopx]

Unfortunately, I can't be. I'll be at FNL Football Practice. We're 0-3(Two of those losses were heartbreakingly close), tomorrow night's game is a must win, and a very realistic one, sowe're going an extra hour tonight to prepare. I won't get home until 8pm EST.

I'll see what I can do to fill the void of trash talking

[bishopx]

Thank you Ryan, I have no doubt that you will be a more than adequate presence to fill the trash talking void.

[AnOceanPearl]

I will also do some trash talking, but only because my girlfriend says I am unattractive when I speak, so I must always spew garbage.

[RicardoObviouso]

wow. i scored the first overall pick.

 

 

 

(its automated, by the way... i didnt set it up like that)

[Computer]

[RicardoObviouso]

well, no complaints there.. holy shit are we all that stacked?

pretty much. thats what happens when you have four teams

 

i've got datsyuk, brad richards, alex ovechkin, thomas vanek, patrick kane, milan hejduk, brian rafalski, shane obrien, ed jovanovski, craig rivet, zach stortini, sean avery, roberto luongo and evgeni nabokov.

 

i picked zach based on his 200+ PIMs last season.

[Computer]

fuck I really want to trade you goalies

[AnOceanPearl]

Too bad Gonchar is out indefinitely.

 

My team is:

 

Ryan Getzlaf

Eric Staal

Henrik Zetterberg

Brenden Morrow

Jarome Iginla

Georges Laraque

Dion Phaneuf

Chris Pronger

Brian Campbell

Niklas Kronwall

Ales Hemsky

Joffrey Lupul

Olli Jokinen

Mikka Kiprusoff

[Computer]

lol georges laroque? do you get points for being a goon?

[RicardoObviouso]

yes. i think he picked laraque in like the second round or something, too.

 

 

comp: if you want one of my goalies, propose a trade.... IT BETTER BE GOOD.

 

 

using the points system set up for this season against the players totals from last season, computer has the best team, followed by anoceanpearl, myself then chilli

Props on Ovechkin and Nabokov.

[Computer]

i offered up alfredson and giguere for nabokov and kane.. pretty reasonable I think

 

also, what are the rules on amount of players played,

 

2 c's, 2lw's, 2 rw's, 4d's and 1 g?

[bishopx]

I'm okay with who I ended up with...I wanted Iginla, and I wanted Tim Thomas for one of my Goalies(It won't let me drop one to pick him up)...but otherwise, I can't complain too much.

 

I ended up with:

 

Sidney Crosby

Joe Thornton(WAHOO!!!)

Michael Cammalleri

Jason Blake

Marian Gaborik

Martin St. Louis

Mike Green

Zdeno CHara

Dan Boyle

Wade Redden

Marc Savard

Michael Ryder

Marc-Andre Fleury

Marty Turco

[RicardoObviouso]

you'll be able to drop either one of your goalies for him in a day or two.

you'll have all of what you said plus a 'utility' player.

[bishopx]

FUCKING AWESOMENESS!!! I MUST HAVE DA TIMSTER!!!

[RicardoObviouso]

actually, it looks like both of your goalies are on the 'cant cut' list... meaning they can't be sent to waivers or free agency.

 

 

you'll have to trade one of your bench players for him and then trade on of your goalies to another team for a bench player.

 

if neither happen, it's not a huge deal, you've got two excellent goalies.

[bishopx]

True, I just wanted Tim, because I'm a fan.

[Computer]

and the domination begins...

[bishopx]

Oh yes...paraphrase YU LAW from "THE ONE"..."I AM BISHOPX I AM NOBODY"S BITCH!!! YOU ARE ALL MY BITCHES!!!

[RicardoObviouso]

yeah... just wait until there's more than two games being played in a weekend.

[bishopx]

OH HELLSS YEAH!!! SOMEONE'S GOING DOWN!!!!
