NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - FRESH DOWN THERE PHASE NINETEEN!

[Lord Defect]

This phase needs to end. I just realized someone HUGE has not been taken and I feel like I need to bring him to the quackverse with us.

 

[ajgoal]

You can never have too many Finns, according to our esteemed explorer, Mr. Cousteau.

So we're picking this guy:

Now I'm being told he meant these:

Whatever. What does he know about hockey anyway. We're sticking with our guy.

[Beef Invictus]

I was about to make a pick with supreme confidence that she was available and now I'm shaking and pissing with rage at her being taken already. You fools. I must reassess.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It is time. Time. The time placed upon me by ajgoal. Earsplitting ajgoal! Burly ajgoal! Former ajgoal!

I need to buy more time to think of more people. So I shall dive back into that Well Of True Talent, the Fifth Round of the NHL Entry Draft; the place where Yunmk Flumbing once drafted the inevitable Kaprizov.

I now draft: CONNOR HVIDSTON

Hvidston is quite young. He scored goals at a decent clip, but what really makes him stand out so far is very good defense. His offense is on the rise (Once he got up to speed, as a mega-youth, he had a great second half) and he can drive possession his way. This is good. We select him. Here is the only portrait of him known to have been taken within his lifetime:

I assumed as a Quebecois your Team Band would involve way more hurdy-gurdy

@Captain Dave Poulin , whenever you get a chance, please change our franchise creeper to Danny Bonaduce. Thanks!

@Lord Defect is going to be made that you sniped him on Danny Brierenaduce.

That's who you just realized wasn't picked, right Defect?

Wow that’s a hell of a stretch.
I only take pure briere peoples. How dare you sir.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ah crap. I will pick tomorrow, sorry. It's my birthday and I'm being forced to celebrate.

HBD Jojo, Virgos unite! Mine is this coming week.

Happy Birthday, Jojo and Perv!

We start the day with birthday boy @JojoTheWhale on the clock, @Asnito on deck, @Young Sandwich on the lido deck, and mja on the lido afterdeck.

So that film I was gagging to watch is called "My Sassy Girl" (2001). It's the film that my soulmate Jun Ji Hyun made when she was 19 and (along with a Korean commercial in which she looks like a sex goddess) propelled her into superstardom. It's so, so, so obvious why that happened. She is amazing and perfect in a very quirky role. She plays a girl whose boyfriend has died and she can't bring herself to let go. She is super wasted and standing on the edge of the subway platform when she is rescued by this slacker college student goof. They become close friends, and are kind of dating, but she keeps telling him she'll kill him if he doesn't do what she wants. Like he orders Coke at a cafe, and she says "Do you want to die? Have coffee." She turns to the waiter with her most melting look and says "We'll have coffee, please." She hits him all the time, but he doesn't really complain - he wants to help her heal (plus he is super goofy himself). Her parents don't approve of him because he has no plans, so she sometimes spends a long time away from him. She also writes terrible screenplays for action movies about heroines coming back from the future in different scenarios. She makes him read them, and they are all terrible.

It's almost impossible to explain why this movie is so charming, as you can see, but it is SO f***ing charming. Ji Hyunie is so, so, so meltingly charming. It builds toward more melodrama and seriousness near the end, but never loses its focus on the pair of them and doesn't betray the promise the plot starts (the way "Friends" did when Rachel dated f***ing Joey, the stupid bastards). It f***ing rules, and I am so happy that it lived up to its reputation.

Let's have some birthday cake and celebrate the fact that these two fresh Quacks are one year older. WOO!

While the main character of a certain show was selected long ago, it's to my relief that the show itself (one of my favorites) remains untouched.

The Honolulu Ghibli are pleased as punch to select as our Team Trainer: Rupert Giles

The Watcher to the vamp slayer, Buffy Summers, Giles is described as a "Super Librarian." Giles is calm, outwardly professional, inwardly caring -- he's both trainer and father figure.

Giles has unparalleled knowledge about demonology and sorcery and the supernatural -- and what is the Quackverse but supernatural? That's far more important than hockey; any idiot can learn hockey. If you've lived by a Hellmouth, you're more than prepared for the hellscape of HockeyGuys™. Giles is also well versed in the teaching of Slayer combat technique, so he's got the physical training part covered in spades too.

Exactly, Giles. Exactly.

******

@Captain Dave Poulin -- you're basically the Quackverse Watcher, aintya?

Amazing pick

@Asnito Gogo

Happy B-Day. I had the same issue last week.

You can go ahead and go - I think he will be busy all day. (I misread his post earlier.)

Don't have any write up ready so we're going to continue with adding to our Beer League team. Joel Maata come on down.

@Young Sandwich here's a little something to get the juices flowing before you pick

In a lake with spinning gear? Pfshhh, that's basically cheating. Killer fish though.

Pick incoming, just finished up my 6 year olds bday party at Monster Mini Golf in Cherry Hill. It was a great success.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I was convinced this young woman was already taken, but my extensive searching says otherwise. She's cool as shit, beautiful, funny, badass, charismatic, influential, super charitable, and all around awesome. Oh yeah, and she's dating Spiderman too. She's the total package and exactly what the Sexpos are looking for in a spokesperson.
