I know hockey-reference is in development, but it ain't there yet.

Edit, I found "The Internet Hockey Database", holy crap my man Dino Ciccarelli is 16th all-time in goals scored? Crazy

/endthreadjack

I use that same site (Hockey DB).

Dr. Sak · 03-11-2008, 09:52 AM

Please start sending me lists...

DeToxRox · 03-11-2008, 10:10 AM

Bsak don't use the list I sent ill be here to pick

Logan · 03-11-2008, 10:33 AM

Time to put an hour limit on how long we'll go if you're not around or haven't sent a list?

Dr. Sak · 03-11-2008, 10:38 AM

I think you are right...there is no reason we can't do a round or a round and a half a day.

Logan · 03-11-2008, 01:14 PM

Bump?

Maple Leafs · 03-11-2008, 01:14 PM

This draft is like watching Jason Allison in the shootout.

Lathum · 03-11-2008, 01:14 PM

so it's been 4 hours since the last pick?

Lathum · 03-11-2008, 01:15 PM

ok, that was weird

ntndeacon · 03-11-2008, 01:34 PM

Lathum · 03-11-2008, 01:37 PM

johnny93g

Johnny93g · 03-11-2008, 01:43 PM

2.12- Ken Dryden, Goalie, Montreal Canadians

Winner of 6 stanley cups in just 8 seasons. Never lost more then 10 games in a season, and never won fewer then 30. 5 vezina trophy's.

Logan · 03-11-2008, 01:44 PM

the triple-bump!

Dr. Sak · 03-11-2008, 01:47 PM

just as long as Johnnyg doesnt take a certain person...I have someone vtbub wants from his list.

vtbub · 03-11-2008, 01:48 PM

I'm here.

Johnny93g · 03-11-2008, 01:50 PM

3.1 Tim Horton, Defensive Defensman, Toronto, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, NY Rangers

A little blurb from the legends of hockey website

Tim Horton was the ultimate defenseman in his time, and one of the greatest to ever play in the National Hockey League. An excellent skater, Tim had good rushing ability and a powerful slap shot. But he was better known for his defensive play where his physical strength and intelligent play made him a joy to watch for 24 seasons. One of the truly classy gentlemen ever to play the game, Horton starred with the Toronto Maple Leafs for 18 years before stints with New York Rangers, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Tragically his career and life were tragically cut short following an car accident in 1974.

DeToxRox · 03-11-2008, 01:50 PM

im ready too

vtbub · 03-11-2008, 01:51 PM

Maple Leafs · 03-11-2008, 04:52 PM

Hey everyone...

Here's an idea for how to pass the time during the next long delay between picks (like this one).

1. Think about how annoying it is to have to wait hours between picks, and how much less fun you're having because of it.
2. Realize that you'd hate for this to happen when your pick comes up.
3. Send a list of picks to bsak, just in case you're not around. Even a list of three or four will probably be enough.

If everyone did this, we'd be sailing.

Lathum · 03-11-2008, 05:16 PM

DeToxRox · 03-11-2008, 05:36 PM

I hope Jim Carey is still around when I pick again I need a reliable tender.

MikeVic · 03-11-2008, 06:34 PM

Can I just pick random guys for people if they take a long time? Pokey Reddick for goalie.

Chief Rum · 03-11-2008, 06:49 PM

Who is up? I was pretty shocked I didn't get an email today from Brian telling me I was up. For good reason--the draft didn't get to me! WTF? What's the hold up here?

I say we award this drafter Mike Sillinger and move on.

Maple Leafs · 03-11-2008, 06:51 PM

Anyone who complains about the delay but does not send at least a short list to bsak gets a John Kordic reverse facial cross-check.

Lathum · 03-11-2008, 06:52 PM

on 5 hours now.

I may need to drop out, we are going away for Easter

Pumpy Tudors · 03-11-2008, 06:54 PM

OK, you guys got me. I'll take Mike Sillinger.

Dr. Sak · 03-11-2008, 06:57 PM

Starting tomorrow we are going on a 2 hr pick clock starting at 8am est tomorrow morning.

Suburban Rhythm · 03-11-2008, 07:00 PM

This may help my cause...I am eyeing an active player.
The longer this goes on, the better his stats get.

I actually did not send a list to Brian, but he knows how to reach me. I felt that having to go off of lists hurt me in the literature draft, so I want to make my pick live where I can.

Yeah, that's fine too as long as he can always reach you (e-mail, etc).

Oilers9911 · 03-11-2008, 09:36 PM

I will select, as my coach - Punch Imlach

Maple Leafs · 03-11-2008, 09:43 PM

3.5 Larry Robinson, defensive defenceman (MTL, LA)

Chief Rum · 03-11-2008, 11:44 PM

Hate doesn't even begin to describe...

I may have to draft a certain Swedish center in retribution.

Dr. Sak · 03-12-2008, 05:15 AM

Suburban Rhythm selects...

3.6 Dom Hasek (CHI, BUF, OTT and DET) Goalie

Dr. Sak · 03-12-2008, 05:18 AM

Chief Rum selects...

3.7 Ron Francis (Leader) - Hartford, Pittsburgh, Carolina, Toronto

TazFTW · 03-12-2008, 05:43 AM

3.8 Bryan Trottier, playmaker (NYI, PIT)

Chief Rum · 03-12-2008, 06:43 AM

Francis is Swedish, right? (still hate ya, Sean

! )

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 08:37 AM

ready in 1 sec guys, hope I didn't hold stuff up

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 08:43 AM

3.9 Billy Smith Goalie -Kings, Islanders

Won a veznia and 4 straight stanly cups, waon an amazing 19 playoff series in a row, hall of famer and an added bonus he only played for 2 teams.

Honolulu_Blue · 03-12-2008, 09:02 AM

3.10 Bobby Clarke (Leader) - Philadelphia

A talented playmaker, he had three 100-point seasons, twice led the league in assists, and played in eight NHL All-Star Games. He was also a great defensive player, a great checker, and one of the best in the face-off circle. One of the game's great leaders, Clarke was the captain of the notorious Broad Street Bullies during their heyday in the mid-1970s. The Bullies were a reflection of their captain, who had a tireless work ethic, a strong will to win, and a willingness to do anything it took to win even if it meant bending the rules.

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 09:06 AM

thought about Clark for the 1 team value but I couldn't pass up on a goalie who won 4 staraight cups, still a nice pick HB

Thanks. Though between Partick Roy and Bobby Clarke, I clearly have already drafted the least likeable team.

As a life long Devils fan ( a REAL devils fan, not one from New Orleanr

You should just run with that throughout the whole draft. There are tonnes of good jerks out there. I'd give extra points for the added flavour
