NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – THANK YOU, HELLO PHASE TWENTY-SEVEN!

[ajgoal]

I figure @Rebels57 is out of commission on a never-ending bender through the New Year's, so @DancingPanther should probably jot down that idea somewhere safe.

I was being nice. Spirit of the season, yada yada.

I am out for a bit. Sitting at my FIL's hospital bedside while he remains between life and death.

Sorry to hear that Bern, sending good vibes and prayers to you and your family.

 

[BiggE]

@Rebels57 is up, @BernieParent is on deck, and @BiggE is on the lido deck. @Strawberry Fields and @Chuck Downie can make up their picks whenever.

Hurry up, before @DancingPanther forgets.

Huh?

I am out for a bit. Sitting at my FIL's hospital bedside while he remains between life and death.

So sorry to hear this Bern, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear this Bern. Sending good thoughts to you, your wife and the family.

I’m sorry, Bern. I’ll keep your family in my thoughts.

I’m sorry bern. He’ll be in my thoughts.

 

[BernieParent]

Thanks, all. Mrs. Parent and I appreciate your kind responses. He's 85 and has been in hospital since the 24th with pneumonia and influenza. Good to buy in bulk, I guess. Oxygen level is good for now on 80% inspired so we are home. He's an obstinate old buzzard so he may still outlive me.

(Note: I am not presently ill in case anyone reads that into my previous sentence.)

Judging from your dad jokes I out you about 65. So you’re at least 32 years younger than @Captain Dave Poulin

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family, Bern.

HURRY UP BEFORE I FORGET

You can just go now.

What is a knight really? He isn't just some righteous nerd who rides horses and carries a sword. Truly, knights are noble warriors who serve the common man. Calm, fearless in danger, undeterred by consequences, and complicated in morality as some may be forced into conflict to uphold the code of chivalry.

Is that Mario's sidekick?
Wait, is that the guy who killed the guy?

2 out of the last 3 picks have been murderers—we’re on a roll!

And yet, nothing could top a certain someone taking Adolph Hitler as his team author.

This is news to me. Is it bad or good that I wasn’t even in the Quackverse yet, and I can guess exactly who did this?

Coming from someone that works in an aspect of healthcare, this is ghoulish.
I just took someone that murdered someone and that murder took 20 something years to finalize and I felt ashamed once I realized it.
But you go on and glorify murder. That’s cool.

Tell me, what are your thoughts on Marvin Heemeyer again? Actually, ignore that. Agreed that the glorification of this dude is scary, not because we need to save the CEOs, but because political violence is a double-edged sword and it rarely, if ever, leads to a more just society.

Anyway, can we not in this one particular thread, out of all of the threads on this stupid forum?

One person murdered a person who was not involved at all with their healthcare in the name of healthcare justice, and was more well off than the person he murdered.
The other did not hurt anybody. Not kill, he didn’t hurt anybody.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This must be what my wife feels like when my extended family members talk about not going for it on 4th Down and she’s powerless to stop the inevitable.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is the Quackverse, damnit.

He didn't physically harm anyone, but he absolutely hurt people. I guess if the other dude had just taken a bulldozer to the CEO's house, it would have been all good.

Also, did you not see this part:

Very sorry to hear this, my friend. You and yours will be in our thoughts as well.

Also, did you not see this part:

You don’t get to say not to bring something into a thread when you are bringing it into a thread.
Yes, if he bulldozed the dudes house he would be financially hurt but still alive.
You seem to have a problem differentiating between the two forms of wrong.
One is categorically worse than the other.

I didn’t want to bring anything into the thread but I’m not going to stay quiet over someone else selecting a murderer with an active ongoing investigation 100% on purpose. I selected a shitty person accidentally and would like to change to someone else but I was not going to push that issue. I still would like to change it because that’s not what this threads about.
@Captain Dave Poulin can I change my pick for local what’s it called?

 

[ajgoal]

Is local icon local to me, or local to my franchise?
