The Thread Where We've All Got Playoff Beards

[SeanDMan]

...do you play in a league with incompetents? That's a nice team.

Thanks, I was worried that I hadn't drafted well.

And I won't disclose the deets of the rejected trade, I will say that it was an insult to my intelligence and I took one look at it, laughed and then hit the "reject" button.

Slogger.

No Slogger.

This is about more than hockey, Slogger. This is about heart. This is about love. This is about family, Slogger.

See that, Slogger? See that? I'm Uncle Phil, and you're the other guy. I'm asking you why I can't have Daniel Sedin. You're saying maybe I can, maybe in a little while, then you admit you're scum, and you're content to be scum. Then Will Smith walks in the room. He's Henrik. He's Henrik Sedin Slogger, remember that. He wants to know why Daniel doesn't come around anymore. Why doesn't Daniel play hockey with Henrik anymore? Why doesn't Daniel love Henrik? WHAT THE FUCK DID HENRIK DO TO MAKE DANIEL NOT LOVE HIM? TO HELL WITH DANIEL AND TO HELL WITH EVERYONE MAN. Man how come Daniel don't love him no more?!

This is what you're doing, Slogger.

YOU ARE TEARING A FAMILY TO PIECES.

Problem solved, trade him Henrik. He'll offer you Adam McQuaid and Mike Ribeiro. It's a fair trade. You'll lose a few powerplay points, but you go bonkers on PIMs and you gain in just about every other stat.

[SeanDMan]

Well, that sounds like a really good deal. But I got a better one. How about, I give you the finger...

...

...and, well, that's all I got, but seriously, fuck you.

I've noticed quite a few teams here where I've said to myself "What fucktards were filling up this league?" Unless you've gone under 10 teams per league, some of these teams should have never gotten that much star power/high ranked players.

[SeanDMan]

I was in the league which slants it close to down syndrome territory.

[Plubby]

TGWL: There are 8 teams in our league.

Sean: I was actually pretty impressed with that league, for the most part. There was one guy whose draft wasn't as strong as it could have been, but it seems like it ought to be fairly competitive.

Really, don't the Caps have to win one of these years? Might be biased because I'm a Sabres fan living in Maryland and I'm absolutely tired of hearing people bitch about the Caps. So hopefully they can win and people around here can breathe a little easier.

[Guest mr. potato head]

I would be flabbergasted if Tampa doesn't make the playoffs.

[TGWL]

I wouldn't be. I think they will finish 6-8, but really last season they got pretty lucky with an incredible goalie, I don't think he'll have that kind of year this season. Can Stamkos put up 50 goals again? Not so sure. He had a bad finish last year and if he starts this season out slow, Tampa might struggle to make the playoffs.

[caucasianheat]

Agreed with MPH, Tampa is as good as they were last year when they looked to play spoiler in the East. Too potent offensively to put out of the running. I don't see Florida anywhere near contention either, I think they'll be sharing basement real estate with the Sens and Islanders.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Fuck all your predictions, the Leafs are making the playoffs this year

[Ruki]

Fuck all your predictions, the Leafs are WINNING the playoffs this year

Fixed.

Also, just so everyone knows, I'll be the first person in here screaming that the sky is falling should we lose tonight. I'll also be the first person in here planning the parade when we win.

Your the one that took Hendrik with the First Overall pick...

and stop sending me offers with a gaggle of crap players + maybe one good guy for Daniel.

I don't care how bad you think my Bench Goalie is.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

My god, I missed Don Cherry.

I love the rants.

EDIT: Welcome back Lombardi! 1-0 Leafs! I knew taking Lombardi in my one of my fantasy leagues would work out. 1 goal!

I've changed my mind on Steckel, aswell. I'm definitely glad we got this guy. Killing it on the faceoffs on the PK.

[Ruki]

I think he's like 9/10 on Faceoffs right now. It's great!

But you know who needs to score? Kule and Grabbo. Will help my fantasy pool.

Same, for sure. Kulie's been trying, so hopefully in the third. This 5on3 didn't look too great though.

PHA-NEUF! 2-0 LEAFS!

I love our PK now, and Reimer is playing solid as well. Steckel is 15-6 on draws, very nice.

Edited October 7, 2011 by Closed and Moved to Archives

[TGWL]

I hate the leafs, but I have kule and hope he can do as good as last season.

[Plubby]

Reimer should be made the next POTUS with his TML Bailout plan thus far

[Mountainous Cleavage]

So, the parade shall run from one end of Younge St to the other.

REIMER WITH THE SEASON OPENING SHUTOUT! First opening night shutout since Belfour was in net!

[TGWL]

it should be noted that I also have Phaneuf
