^ Just that goalies can make or break you. Good luck!

M.I.N.O.

Just picked Bob with my first pick. One owner had 2 picks in the first round and he took McDavid and Eichel

Stamkos, Hall, Nash and Voracek were all gone before my pick was up.

Yumcha

Yeah, figured. You have decent goalies...just hope your lineup can stay healthy.

M.I.N.O.

So here's how my team stacks up:

FORWARDS
Corey Perry
Jonathan Toews
Logan Couture
Evander Kane
Nikita Kucherov
Wayne Simmonds
Brandon Saad
Kyle Okposo
Brandon Dubinsky
Pavel Datsyuk
Derek Stepan
David Perron

DEFENSE
Shea Weber
Kevin Shattenkirk
John Klingberg
Jazke Muzzin
Justin Schultz
Olli Maata
David Savard

GOALIES
Ben Bishop
Sergei Bobrovsky
Jimmy Howard

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.

Yumcha

I like it although the large question mark is Kane -- who we're not sure if he'll have his head screwed on straight with the Sabres. Okposo, Datsyuk, Toews, and Maata are potential injury concerns...they typically miss time throughout the year. But, if they can stay healthy, they are blue-chippers.

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.

M.I.N.O.

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.

who do you think Habs captain will be? patches? Plekanc? or BJ Buuban? lol

Yumcha

Pacheeoretti or Sooban?

black label

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.

Oh Sickest TL

habs are my team , but I agree with you, I don't think boooban is ready for the C yet, I think patches will be great, pleckanac seems to be a quiet fellow but we will see. Markov too but his career is almost done. Only if the whole team had the same heart and grit as gallagher!

And LOL at your sig

Yumcha

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.

dom

Where are the Kane jokes & posts Yumchah?

dom

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

cough**homer**cough

dom

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?

Yumcha

Kane can be kicked outta the NHL for all I care.

Yumcha

Reposting for dom.

Yumcha

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.

Yumcha

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.

K Thx

dom

Ban Scotty Bowman!!!!

Patiently awaits Yumchah posts about banning Scotty for life.

Yumcha

Brady. Balls.

Yumcha

Brady.

Yumcha

More Brady.

Yumcha

Cheating.

Yumcha

Soft supple. Balls.

Yumcha

Balls.

Yumcha

Belicheat.

Yumcha

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?

Yumcha

Since that may make some people feel better.

Yumcha

About Brady. And his soft supple balls.

Yumcha

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

dom

I've seen no ban Scotty Bowman posts yet. Oh right he's employed by the BlackHawks. Got it

Yumcha

Has Bowman adjusted team's thermostats and repainted their dressing rooms while employed by the Hawks? Are there accusations that he had those antics employed in any of the Hawks 3 Cup wins recently?



Got it.

Tell that to the Big Ben haters

Yumcha

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.

dom

Again. Point

dom

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.

And when I see a million posts on the subject. It irks me a tad. That's all.

Now about banning Bowman....

Yumcha

Fair enough.

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