All-Star Fantasy Draft

In lieu of the All Star Draft happening tonight, it seems like every blog out there and their cousins and their cousin's dogs have done their own all star fantasy draft.

Given that, we've given into blog pressure (similar to peer pressure, but we have no friends so it's blog pressure), and we have done our own draft.

It's a little last minute, but maybe we'll come up with a point system to see how well our teams did, or maybe not. Don't count on it, is what we're saying. 

We've given you a round by round play-by-play, with amusing tidbits from our conversation during the draft.

Enjoy!

 

KP picked Team Lidstom, and therefore received St. Louis and Kane as part of the package deal

Because of that KC gets Eric Staal, Green, and Kesler and first pick

 

Round 1:

KC: Stamkos

 KP: I could be a douche...Fleury?

KC: jerkwadcentral

KP: Just kidding, Toews

 KC: Not Ovi?

KP: He sucks

KC: Are we picking him last?

KP: Maybe. By that I mean yes

KC: Damn that means I get Kessel

Round 2:

KC: Which one is the better Sedin? I pick him.

KP: Henrik won MVP last year

KC: BTW, I wrote "the better Sedin" down on my roster

KP: I'm taking Daniel

KC: I hope he's the suckier one, or you just wasted a pick

Round 3:

KC: Letang

KP: Ward...Cam

Round 4:

KC: MAF

KP: Burns

KP: Lunqvist

KP: Yandle

KC: Yandle candle

Round 8:

KC: Nash

KP: Giroux

Round 9:

KC: Chara

KP: Hiller

Round 10 (heads up, this round was full of fail):

KC: Weber

KP: I took him already

KC: So?

KP: Right.

KC: Sharing?

KP: No sharing, try again

KC: Yeah, good call, sharing is for the weak

KC: Keith

KP: Ummm, Green

KC: Can't he's one of my A's

KP: Who is the other D that wears an A?

*here the conversation gets confusing, and even now we don't know what happened, but we eventually got it sorted out...

KP: M. Staal

KC: F you, I wanted a matching set

KP: Now we can trade Staal for Sedin

KC: No way

KC: Backes

KP: Skinner

Round 16:

KC: Stastny

Game On!

Well That Was a Write-Off (Game Recap 2)

Sunday night game, the end result was pretty forgettable, but why let me ruin all the fun:

Stars vs Lucky Pucks

Game Recap:

• Dangles misses the warm-up beacause she was watching the end of the Steelers-Jets game (the good guys won says Legame?! Dangles disagrees)
• Legame?! Gets run over by F Clint
• New new guy, Purple helmet, turns out to be not as good and more lazy
• Paraphernalia scores, yay, 1-0
• Pretty much right off the face off after the first goal the Lucky Pucks score, boo, 1-1
• Job job job
• Paraphernalia makes worst play of the month, "passes" the puck through his own crease, which deflects off of Tank, and right to a Luck Puck who roofs it. Goalie had no chance. 2-1 for the bad guys
• Dangles demands two more goals from Paraphernalia to make up from his epic fail moment
• Job job job
• Game ends, Lucky Pucks 2, Stars 1

Other notes:

One ref and no timekeeper, good thing nothing very exciting happened

I really want a brawl to happen, would make my life

3 Stars:

1. Tank, very solid game
2. Anthony, looks like he picked up mad skillz over the break, he is also in need of a nick name
3. Whatshisname, made some very smart plays

All our newbies are really starting to get it, makes our maternal instincts proud

Healthy Scratches:

D Clint, was going to be late, but just never showed up

Jimmy, we hope he was home with the tiny human

Unhealthy Scrathes:

Slip n' Slide, out with the flu

Goon of the game:

F Clint, for taking out his teammate

Greatest. Thing. Ever.

No really, just watch and be amazed.



This wonderful invention is going to be put to the test at the next Flyers home game. Thanks to Broad Street Hockey for the explanation on how it works, unless you want to continue to believe it's magic which is totally cool with me.

More Goalie Antics and some All Star Game Change Propositions

Justin Pogge, what did the Leafs do to your poor feeble mind?



the Score also had a sweet read on what the All Star Break should really include, you can read about it here

I'm starting to take bets on how many of our stars are going to bail on the festivities and who their replacements are going to be. Any takers?
I say if more of these guys get injured, Dom's a shoe-in.

New Goalie Helmet Regulations

This just announced by the NHL, all goaltenders doing interviews after a game must wear a football helmet. Marc-Andre Fleury the first to test this new rule.



I do appreciate when professional athletes support other teams in their city but I am sorry to say Mr. Fleury that the tradition will not carry on. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!

The Girls go to Hockey [Game Recap 1)

For some reason we feel you really really need to know what happened at our hockey games. But in telling everyone about it, we hope to make it entertaining:

Stars vs Ice Gators

Game Recap:

• Dangles decides to block a shot with the unpadded part of her arm
• Ice Gators score before anyone noticed...probably cause we were too busy watching Dangles come off the ice
• Gretzky scores
• New Guy scores
• F Clint scores making it 3-1 for the good guys
• An Ice Gator trips on blue line, takes out Legame?! Hip bone takes brunt of impact off either the ice or Gator who fell...only the hockeygods know
• Paraphernalia is hit, Dangles and Legame?! vow to get the guy back
• Paraphernalia points out that he might have possibly tripped the guy earlier and probably deserved it
• Vows revoked
• Gators cause 39485729348 offsides
• The Menace, Dangles and Legame?! have unreal shift, no goal... Legame?! needs to keep working on lifting the puck
• Big win, final score 3-1 Stars
• Goalie is proud of us

3 Stars:

1. Goalie, for the usual awesomeness
2. Supastar, for blocking shots and not Goalie's view
3. New Guy, GWG

Goon Watch:

Paraphernalia

And finally the last component to a successful game story is some sort of hockey related entertainment:

I love the original, and this version just warms my heart a little.

Peace out and keep your waffles ready.
