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

[Beef Invictus]

Thank you ajgoal! Different ajgoal! Pathetic ajgoal! Taboo ajgoal!

Do you remember that I am up? I remember. I do the now.

I do the Hype Song. For doing hype, I pick:

If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues



This is a good song for a mutiny-based team. Rock accordion is also always good. This is good. It is up-pace. It is defiant. It covers burial at sea. All sung through the most mangled mush-mouth in rock history.

It is the time for @BernieParent

Threatening Bernie! Kind Bernie! Thankful Bernie!

I think there's probably a way we could trim down our own rosters so Biff, Defect II and Toe have some actual hockey players to pick from. Since we have four lines of current players and four lines of legends, we could probably pare that down to two of each and let them scour the leftovers. We'll have to figure out how to do it, but it should be doable.

How do we feel about that - any complaints? No problem if everyone is against it.

You can have all my players. Hockey is stupid.

 

[ajgoal]

I have no problem with that.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Dog pulled up lame, dropped to the ground, and can't put any weight on the leg at all.

Complete ACL tear. Poor pup.

What’s a hockey player?

Complete ACL tear. Poor pup.

Poor thing.

ugh that sucks, poor baby.

I didn't want to jinx anything with this, but I have a nearly identical story with our departed dog. So this was what I assumed.

Our dog went outside to pee. She was outside for maybe 30 seconds. She showed up back at the door totally normal and as we last saw her, except for her leg hanging floppily and not being used at all. Needed ACL surgery.

 

[BiggE]

Excuse me, brb, I need to go hug my doggy and tell her she’s precious.

It looked exactly like a football tear, Beef. No contact, no nothing. Just walking on uneven ground and then not walking. So that was my fear too.

They're trying to squeeze him into a surgery room tomorrow. Otherwise it's Monday and he's 60 lbs, loaded with arthritis, and as best we can tell, 12 years old. I have no idea how he's supposed to function for a weekend.

 

[Beef Invictus]

They tie the ACL back together with fishing line. We are friends with a few vets so I think Beefette was allowed to watch, but I don't recall specifically. That dog was possibly the most liked animal at that vet hospital, because Beefette worked there and for a while the dog was allowed to go to work with her and she befriended everyone. She acted like she owned the place. She basically did. Numerous vets used to grab her to use as a teaching tool because she was so good about it; most of their current staff learned to do blood draws on her.

I took her in for an appointment once and I was treated like the dog's accessory.

I'm pretty expert at rehabbing dogs at this point; you're gonna have to keep him on pretty strict rest. The 60 leebs is a pity because you'll want to carry him a lot, to avoid re-injury or compensation injury. My dog was 20 leebs so it was a lot easier. The silver lining is that ACL surgery is easier to rehab than spinal surgery, I guess.

They make cradle-like things. Sort of a strap you run under the dog so you can' basically lift most of the weight off their legs, but still keep them moving around a bit but with less strain.

Complete ACL tear. Poor pup.

Nooooooooooooo

[BiggE]

Ozzy sends her best to your pup, @JojoTheWhale

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, ffs. Sorry you and he have to go through this.

 

[Asnito]

You can have all my players. Hockey is stupid.

Nah I'm good

 

[BernieParent]

You people really need to stop making it my turn while I am doing IRL things.

"Ahead of making our final selection of this draft round, the owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks convey our feelings of sadness at the news of the serious injury to the dog of fellow QuackVerse owner @JojoTheWhale and our deepest hope for a quick and complete recovery.

"For our Team Anthem, we will select based on the FireSticks brand and pick Light the Fire Again by Canadian musician Brian Doerksen (whom we have had the pleasure of meeting IRL)."



"We now step down at the completion of yet another round, thank the QuackVerse Overlords for their creative categories, (hopefully) welcome @BigToe to the QuackVerse, and invite @JojoTheWhale to make his selection amidst his dog care provision."

 

[ajgoal]

Complete ACL tear. Poor pup.

Oh no! Poor buddy.

I guess it depends on your housing situation, but I considered one of these for my dane when he started losing strength in his legs:

I decided against it because of the setup for our stairs to the yard, and he only had moments of weakness which I could pick him up after. His issue was permanent, too. Not sure if you could find a set to rent.

 

[Rebels57]

Complete ACL tear. Poor pup.

Sorry to hear! Happened to my sisters dog earlier this year which prompted me to get pet insurance on ours.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Before last night I had never heard of a dog tearing his ACL, and I'm pissed that it has happened to one of ours. Someone is going to get it.

We start the day with Jojo on the clock, but he obviously has more important things to deal with, and we are not in a hurry. @Asnito is on deck, @Young Sandwich is on the lido deck, and @CanadianFlyer88 is on the lido afterdeck.

I said yesterday that the earlier preview suggested that the old guy had a chance to get back with the girl, but no such thing happened last night - in fact, she and the new guy got even closer. The preview for the next one again seems to suggest that there will be another chance, so we'll see, but she really has made herself look horrible. She told the new guy that until he came, she didn't see this as a show where romance was possible. It was complete bullshit when you look at her behavior toward the first guy - if what she said is true, then everything she did up to this point was phony and false. So I once again went to bed super pissed at her. I didn't have a dream about it this time, though.

I was right about the UK cancelling all the football this weekend, which is good - these teams could use a rest, even though the season just started. But our thoughts this morning are with the pup. Sending all our thoughts and prayers your way, good dog.

Im hearing it all the time nowadays which makes me wonder about their food.

 

[Asnito]

Our food truck will be a converted Tuk Tuk serving Thai food.

We will be offering nothing but spicy noodles as they are phenomenal after a hard night drinking.

We also offer all the spices needed to make it flaming hot, which is an excellent hangover cure.

As a shout out to our newest member we will name it Ka-TOE-y's.

@Young Sandwich find us some scantily clad lasses to be our servers then make a pick.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Team Trainer seemed like a layup for the Sexpos at first glance. We'll just pick one of the countless beautiful Instagram fitness trainers and call it a day, right? Wrong. We wanted someone more than just a pretty face and a tight bod. Someone who was a pioneer in their craft with the business acumen to skyrocket to the top of it. This fella was no joke. He's widely known as the Godfather of the modern fitness movement, and just generally badass in all facets of life. He was the first to introduce nutrition into fitness and preached it until the day he died (while still being jacked as f***). His prowess as a motivational speaker will certainly come in handy when it's time for a pregame prep talk or before heading into a bloody battle with our rival hares. The dude had a great sense of humor even in his old age. Case in point: When asked about sex, he had a standard joke, saying that despite their advanced age, he and his wife still made love almost every night: "Almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday..."

Team Trainer - Jack LaLanne

Get jacked @mja

Killer pick! And thank you, but I'm done this phase - Team Anthem Singer was my double-timer. @CanadianFlyer88, please proceed.
