GO RANGERS!!!

there's a shocker for a name haha!

[BadKarma]

We're drafting 18 rounds, and at 10 teams, with a 90 second selection timer, in theory, it can take a MAXIMUM of 4.5 hours, but most picks take less than 30 seconds and if even 1 person doesn't make it, you can subtract almost their entire time (18 x 90 = 27 minutes from the max time) because the computer only takes 2-3 seconds to autopick for them. So plan for 2 hours.

EDIT: Who is team "Better than you"?

/
I going to change my name. Just couldn't think of anything original.

Name is now; I Love Gilroy

[Oxyminus]

Gilroy has looked good so far, hope he makes the team!

I'm missing all of the pre-season games. Oct 3rd really needs to get here already. Which reminds me...gotta get my jerseys washed before then hoho!

He's on it already. Safe to say anyway. He's been our most explosive player in the preseason.

[Oxyminus]

Agreed.

He fits the mold of exactly what they need on the blueline, and he's been doing it well.

[Ishido]

God damn Ryan Miller, 42 saves vs the Wings.

[Oxyminus]

Dubinsky finally resigned!!

Anisimov had a BEASTLY shorthanded goal, good day.
Gaborik, Prospal, Dubinsky, Higgins, Kotalik, Drury, Avery, Callahan, Anisimov... That's a solid... Not incredible, but SOLID top 9.

Lisin has looked good too. But there's no sense in burying him on the 4th line, especially when Torts seems to really like this Voros/Boyle/Brashear line... Not that I blame him. They've been a force since being put together.

Season needs to staaaaarrrrtttt!!!

[Ratatapa]

Habs got owned 6-1 by Sens lol (didnt had our best line up but meh can't always win)

And sens goal #1 was scored by


yes Alex kovalev lolz

[Thoronas]

Canucks are still unbeaten in the preseason. Same thing happened last year, hopefully we'll be in a similar spot at the end of the season too

Anyways my fantasy hockey team name is West Coast Express. Looking forward to the draft. First time Ive done one of these so I'm probably going to squander a pick or two.

[Oxyminus]

For real... I've never done a live draft before either.

It's only going to be a matter of time until homerism kicks in.... Gotta have some Rangers on my team!

And thanks Sepp for setting this up.

[lolBST]

Think I get Seppu week 1... gonna beat you like a redheaded stepchild!

[lolBST]

Also, how you set that comment under the team and all in the matchups?

edit:nevermind.....

[Sepukku]

NP Oxy, everybody.

Everything, schedule wise, will switch again if/when we get an 11th & 12th person in the league. BrillCS still needs to sign up, and then we need to find a 12th person.

Kessel traded to Maple Leafs, signs 5-year, $27M contract

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. Toronto won't be building through the draft anytime soon lol.

[Brill Weave]

LOL I didn't post it because I just assumed one of you guys would have posted it earlier. See what happens when I'm out of state?! This thread falls to shit!!!

[Arnwulf]

Haha, sorry I don't usually check the boards on the weekends.

In other news, first round draft pick John Moore seems to be sticking here in Columbus, at least for the time being. Instead of going to Juniors, the team is now considering keeping him at the AHL level and possibly NHL level. I guess he's really turning some heads at camp.

[Brill Weave]

When I was driving to Missouri, Columbus was actually fairly nice to drive through. I was expecting a barn at the middle of a crossroads.

[Abraxas]

me and you week 1 ratahabs. grab yer bag

ITS ON

[Ratatapa]

wait till i draft brian leetch, adam graves, mike richter, mark messier, jari kurri, and mark eaton.

I will fucking destroy you

[Richybear]

Watching the Detroit vs Rangers game on TV right now. (I love how there's a free preview of Centre Ice until Oct 24th. )

Commentators must need some seasoning too, but it made me laugh "If you're just joining us, welcome to the game between the New York Rangers and the Redskins.... *pause* make that Red Wings."
Rangers are alllll over them right now, 3-0 about halfway through the first.
