Thoughts? Did I do OK? Kinda sucks when your pick is 8th out of 9 teams. Most of the good D and goaltending was picked in the first 2 rounds.

Saad is an awesome pickup. I think him and Ryan Jo in Columbus will really be quite the duo...
Goalies are good. Howard probably is no longer a starter but he's good as a 3rd guy behind 2 solid starters. I would've still preferred a Rinne, Rask, Lundqvist, or Price as one of your goalies but I assume those guys were not even available.

Yeah I know E. Kane is risky but was too talented not to keep. If he keeps his head in the game he could have a monster year.
I do have a lot of injury-prone guys but I'm hoping to get lucky this year. I got Datsyuk in the 13th round so even if I get 50-60 games out of him it'll be worth it.
As for the goalies, this was the best I could do. Rinne was the 3rd pick in the draft, I picked Bob at #8, and Dubnyk was the 3rd pick in round 2. All of the other star goalies were already keepers on other teams.

Despite already being a leader on the team, soobahn might still be a bit immature to wear a "c". Unless he's ready to drop his acting career, him being your liaison to the refs might backfire.

Pat Kaleta is generally an idiot...but, this is the most intelligent and awesome thing he's ever said.
He's my new fave player.
When I shoot, I'm shooting to score. When I hit, I'm imagining it's Tom Brady.
He's my new fave player.

Where are the Kane jokes & posts Yumchah?

I don't see many Derick Rose comments in the NBA thread either.

Of course what they did isn't NEARLY as bad as what Brady did. I mean, can you compare MAYBE lowering the PSI on a ball to raping a woman? Not in Yumchah's world you can't
Right everyone?

Reposting for the soft-supple ball worshippers like dom who think insulting a Chicago athlete who is some weird defense of cheating or comeback:
If they are guilty...get out. If an athlete is a cheater, regardless of race, Aston Martin, Pagani, robot, or Kate Beckinsale, they should be punished and tarred.
Got it? Good.

And if Rose is a rapist, he deserves all the injuries.

I'll keep watching for the posts Yumchah. You're still roughly 1,378,456 Kane\Rose posts behind your Brady\Pats posts.

Scotty Bowman allegedly had the opposing locker room painted during the 1996 and 1997 playoffs. For consecutive years Blues players noticed that their locker room at Joe Louis Arena reeked of fresh paint before game 5. In the past two playoffs, the Blues found their locker room reeking of fresh paint. Before and during Game 1 in Detroit last year, the dressing room thermostat was either stuck on hot or cold, depending on what the Blues didn't want.
Patiently awaits Yumchah posts about banning Scotty for life.

In all seriousness, not sure where people are thinking I'm giving Kane/Rose a pass. But...okay!
And oh, whereas Brady et al are actually guilty of cheating...Kane/Rose? Not guilty yet. Just guilty for being retards/idiots...but, nothing charged. So, until then, I've got nothing to really PW about.
But can we chalk this post up as one on the Kane/Rose "hate" column?

Since that may make some people feel better.

About Brady. And his soft supple balls.

And actions that directly impact the results of a game and the spirit of competition.

I don't get it...We are talking about a franchise that is systematically CHEATING and accused of it by everyone on the planet.
And the defenders' only comeback is to point at so-and-so's fave team and point out their players that were allegedly guilty of rape? Eh?
As I said, the latter is reprehensible but, it's completely different issue.

And lets be clear, I'm no Pats defender, not my team. I feel they ARE likely guilty of everything they're being accused of. My argument is its common in every sport, every team and many, many players. It happens all the time. Players and teams bending rules or doing questionable things such as painting locker rooms the day before a game to get an edge. I just don't see the big deal. And now that the media has latched on to the Pats like Patrick Kane to a 19 year girl in a bar, its just getting really really tiresome.

Start a petition for banning Bowman. I'll co-sign it.
