Whats up guys. Im Brandon from Sault Ste. Marie ON. Thought i would give a shout out to let you know ive finally arrived haha. I just signed up and am pumped for the season and our draft to start. Im just taking the time to look over all the posts and stuff in the message boards so i know exactly what is going on for the draft, and so i don't ask any questions that have already been repeated. This is a lot of stuff to take in, all in one day, but i think i pretty much got it now.I just signed up for paypal and am awaiting bank verification, then i will send my pymt right away. This looks like a good group of guys and should be a fun year. Good luck boys!

to our newest member from the next to newest member. I just want to say that I am glad to see someone who has an original logo. You should have seen what the others had up there before. It looks to me that I am the only member of this league from the United States. Oh well, there is always one person to spoil the party, eh? Also, I am the oldest one I believe. So, you see, I have a lot going for me.
Well, we are all glad to have you aboard. Just so you know.....The Commish, Greg, knows all there is to know about hockey and has already declared himself the winner. I didn't mean to offend you Matt, but I don't know if you have Commissioner status or not. Now, don't go off crying like our old friend Eric. I would begin to have a complex.
Time for me to go back to watch the Mets lose again to the Phillies..........when the hell is hockey starting??!!!
And always, ALWAYS, listen to the Commish! He is a wise man!

Is Ray getting brownie points for suking up? I'm gonna launch a full investigation if he gets the first pick in the draft.

Actually, Greg and I talked about it last night. Since we've been putting in so much work over the last couple of weeks, we didn't think you guys would mind if we took Crosby and Ovechkin for ourselves ... you know, as kind of a gratuity for all our hard work.

I don't want either of them, so go for it

Of course, this is providing we still get our first rounds picks....

Hey Everyone,
I see Scoop & Red just joined the forum. Welcome guys!
Red, I hear that you have to keep your pops in line sometimes. I've heard rumours that he once tried to trade your Dany Heatley for Derrick Boogard. Is that true?
Cheers, Matt

''just so you know.....The Commish, Greg, knows all there is to know about hockey and has already declared himself the winner''
Once again an outstanding post from Ray. I was speaking (virtually that is) with Matt this a.m. suggesting that we are extremely close to generating the draft order. Our last two 'unpaid' GMs (welcome by the way to Brandon) are generating or have generated PayPal accounts and are just waiting for the green light so to say. Once Matt is in agreement I will generate the draft order which y'all will be privy to instantaneously. In light of Ray's recent post, I will do everything in my power to ensure that he receives an advantageous position in our draft.
PS Once again, I want it out in the open......I want the 10th pick. I don't have any experience with a massive snake draft of this magnitude, but I really feel tenth selection is solid.

Personally, I like the 10th pick as well. Anyways, I'm eager to see the draft order

Alright Gregger, I'm all in favour of letting the draft order rip. If in doubt of official team names, use the ones accompanying the email addresses on our ESPN site. Mike is on vacation for a few days, so not sure when he'll be back to verify his rather interesting choice of team names. Sounds like he has a corporate sponsership...
Can't wait!

I also prefer the last spot in the draft as that is where I wound up last year(we generate new draft orders randomly each year---makes it more exciting) and won the league. The year prior, the last draft spot won it also. So there must be something about having that turn spot in the order...2 quality picks back-to-back.
6th huh? I thought you said advantageous. You must like using big, fancy words. Actually, sixth is alright....kind of get to see what is going on and not too long a wait between picks.
Gooooooooooooo Nutbars!
My favorite is Baby Ruth, just as an FYI.
Post number 21.......blackjack!

Since I am the oldest one, let me start. I joined this league because of a post I saw on Dobber's website. So, I actually do not know anyone involved in this league. So, I was wondering, who here knows each other. I take it Greg and Matt are somehow friends. What is the connection each one of us has to this league and to each other?

Good morning Gentlemen.
Once again, a very high quality post from Ray. Matt and I are strangers who happened to both submit our resume and photo into the website:
Out of thousands of possible matches, I selected him. In his submission photo he was wearing nothing save a midnight smokey deep dusky blue Speedo which appeared to be felt lined, and he was holding up what appeared to be a spreadsheet of some sort. He portrayed an air of absolute authority and dare I say alpha male dominance. Something I simply could not resist.
Greg
