Donut's Fantasy Game 5.0 - Discussion Thread

[JonnyGraz]

Not surprised. It's a total mix up of personalities that I doubt would work in the NHL. They are just big names. I think that HCT would work very well in the NHL today.

LOL. Like backchecking, passing Backstrom hasn't worked with trigger-shooting OV! Adding nasty net presence P in the mix ought to dominate, as the voting agrees (or do you think Corey Perry is less of a net presence than Joel Ward?! LOL!)

Because Hall has been so awesome? Not. Or is it because Crosby is so awesome that throw any two liked wingers with him and he'll shine? (as some have indicated)

 

[donut]

Head's up is that the penalty for the goalie selection is very much similar to the penalty I had in place for the roster update.

Also, if you end up exceeding the cap, your team will be shut down and you won't be eligible for voting as well as the next game.

 

[LT]

12.5M in cap space for 4 more players... I got this

 

[Addison Rae]

hall has been ****ing awesome at the NHL level I don't think you follow hockey if you think otherwise. and yes crosby literally makes everyone he plays with better I don't know what you're going off about.

 

[VanIslander]

Seriously,...

The strangest order of centers I've ever seen!

1st line center: Tyler Johnson
2nd line center: Jonathan Toews
3rd line center: Henrik Sedin
4th line center: Joe Thornton

They don't call this "fantasy" for nuttin'.

What's wrong with it? Johnson is playing at an elite level, and Toews is better suited for a shut-down 2nd line role anyways. Johnson is better than both Sedin and Thornton, so it makes sense.

Tyler Johnson is absolutely not better than Henrik Sedin.

 

[LT]

Tyler Johnson is absolutely not better than Henrik Sedin.

He has been this season.

 

[Addison Rae]

He has been this season.

at what exactly? Henrik scored more points, despite Johnson having a ridiculous on ice shooting% (an unsustainable one) and Henrik absloutely rag dolls him in possession. So no, Tyler Johnson was not better than Henrik Sedin at ice hockey this year.

Go start a poll asking who's better.

I agree that Henrik is better but with the way Johnson has been playing this post-season, I'm pretty sure HF posters will be voting Johnson over Henrik

 

[Gecklund]

Isn't Slava Voynov unable to be picked?

 

[JonnyGraz]

Isn't Slava Voynov unable to be picked?

Why would that be?

 

[Gecklund]

Why would that be?

Just so people know, we do not associate with criminals in GM Games. Don't both drafting them animals.

That's why.

 

[JonnyGraz]

That's why.

My bad, didn't realize he was a criminal...
Changed to Jared Cowen

 

[member 202355]

Jared Cowen has an absolutely abysmal 5v5 GA/60 of 3.32, and a GF% lower than that of Luca Sbisa. That's how terrible he is.

 

[member 202355]

Brendan Gallagher. Also can you people send pms before slipping people? And can you send pms period? I have not gotten a single pm from Vancouver this entire game. It's getting ridiculous.

I believe I sent you a PM in an earlier rounds, although admittedly I forgot to do so after our latest pick. I promise not to forget this time.

 

[Gecklund]

Maybe in the first round but I have been constantly checking the thread because of not getting a pm. I thought you were only sending them to Gino or something but he wasn't getting one either. Anyway just try to send one for these last few rounds please!

 

[donut]

Most teams have 2 picks left in the draft, let's finish this thing up soon!

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

and the John Scott's team is complete! yes!!

 

[LT]

Will update my roster tomorrow - don't have internet right now.

 

[donghabs98]

My team doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.

 

[donut]

Post your finalized roster with cap-hit/cap-space info when you're done.

I'll explain voting and ask for votes tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for everyone who participated in the draft and best of luck in voting and the "playoffs'
