NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE SEVEN! Part One!

[Beef Invictus]

Why is that humongous

Why is that humongous

Because you get your pics in Pee Town.

Apparently Mrazek also commanded the 14th Alabama Fusiliers during the Civil War.

What about the Royal Fusiliers Company Z?

 

[ajgoal]

As I am still reeling, i'm not ready to pick a Buffy replacement. So we'll move on to Team Chain Restaurant and go with a local favorite which has by my count 13 locations at least.

Back to you @CanadianFlyer88

Place is ok.

 

[mja]

Checks out.

No pick tipping! @JojoTheWhale was eyeing him up for his legend 4C.

 

[BiggE]

What about the Royal Fusiliers Company Z?

 

[BernieParent]

That was way harsh, Bern.

Worst of all, you took it as myth, meaning that it doesn't and can't exist in the Quackverse as a real thing. I was going to will it into existence through the Dealer's Choice, then pick up an aging 1st ballot HOFer that's still on the board, and then use the FoY to get him back into his prime.

Now I am really remorseful for choosing this and unknowingly thwarting such an ingenious plan. Let me dunk a few of my legends in and keep you in the know whether there is any truth to this myth.

Mom update: seemingly no worse for wear after some a fat nap and some dinner

"The Tampa Bay FireSticks are pleased to select, as their Franchise Chain Restaurant, Ruth's Chris Steak House.

"We express our admiration for Ruth's Chris Steak House founder Ruth Fertel, who mortgaged her home in 1965 to buy a small steak house in [REDACTED] As a single mother of two boys, Mrs. Fertel taught herself the restaurant business and successfully turned her investment into a high-quality franchise. The name comes from a tragedy when a kitchen fire destroyed Chris Steak House in 1976, forcing Mrs. Fertel to relocate; however, she could no longer use the name Chris Steak House. Short on time, she improvised, adding her own name to the sign. The next year, they opened their first franchise location in 1977 and now features locations in 21 countries. In 2019, total earnings topped $468 million."

"We look forward to a long and calorie-laden partnership with this refined restaurant chain."

I guess I'll get this one out of the way because I don't eat at chain restaurants, outside of fast food on occasion, and this is the last chain restaurant I recall being at more than once in "recent" years.

I first went into this restaurant for the novelty of it in 2011. We were in San Francisco and this restaurant had a nice lookout on the pier at Fisherman's Wharf. We didn't go to another until 2017 when we took our niece to Disneyland and this restaurant was across the street from our hotel. I haven't been to another since.

I am still blown away that it became a thing.

Our team chain restaurant is Bubba Gump Shrimp Co..

Over to my PNW rival, @Rebels57!

This was my first choice as well. Surprisingly good food for what it is.

 

[Lord Defect]

Looks like we need a goalie, so why not one who only played in one NHL game, in mop up duty, gave up 1 goal on 2 shots and finished with a GAA of 9.55? And, as an added bonus, he played for the Flyers!

Jerome John Mrazek (born October 15, 1951) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockeygoaltender who played in one NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers during the 1975–76 NHL season. He played for three seasons with the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He also played in the IHL and AHL.

So why ol Jerome? Well, besides the cool beard and the fact that he played guitar, his nickname was “Moses” And, who knows? We may need someone to lead our wandering through the Quackverse and someone who can part a sea or two.
Levels kids, levels.

@BernieParent , the Firesticks, sadly, are on the clock again

We have had two Mrazek’s that have barely played for us? Amazing.

I’ve eaten here once. It was good but man was I disappointed by the portion sizes.

I have a few hundred dollars worth of gift cards that I’ve received for my last couple birthdays that I haven’t been able to use due to COVID. I am chomping at the bit to get back.

I've eaten there once, too. I got food poisoning. And yet ...

You're lucky an admin couldn't take a joke. Otherwise, this was a slam dunk for me

The fact that they f***ed with people about this is truly galaxybrain

Team Urban Myth - GREMLINS!

No, not the ones you can’t feed after midnight. We’re talking about these guys:

Though they usually looked a little different on WWII posters.

These mischievous creatures started popping up in the 1920’s as an explanation by RAF pilots for unexplained damage and malfunctions on their aircraft. They’ve even been credited by some as helping to win the Battle of Britain. How? By having gremlins to blame for their mishaps rather than each other, British airmen could commiserate with one another and morale remained high. If they had started to point fingers at one another, morale could have plummeted, with disastrous consequences.

You may think it foolish to bring gremlins into the Quackverse, but you’d be wrong!

How dare you not include this one.

That’s pretty cool to learn the origin of that’s true

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Good morning, riffraff. Let's play the Feud!

We start the day with known deleter @Hollywood Couturier on the clock, total perve @Young Sandwich on deck, suddenly enriched investor @JojoTheWhale on the lido deck, and then the royal intellectual crater @Lord Defect drooling on the lido afterdeck.

Man, was it relaxing to skip that hockey shit or what? Sounded like they got their sloppy, apathetic asses handed to them again. Are you surprised? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?! Lolz what a f***ing joke. They don't deserve us, you know. A grown man stealing 25 million dollars right out in the open in front of everyone. Embarrassing.

I hope you have a nice day, but more than that, I hope you pick stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. And here's a friendly reminder - it's spring. That means that you will probably be sitting up there in Philadelphia and Canada and other places where the internet functions, and you will have your windows open, because I know many of you weirdly enjoy the outdoors for whatever reason, and because most of you are ridiculously flush with cash, you will have a lot of papers - bank statements, balance sheets, betting slips, etc. - in stacks on various flat surfaces. Do you want all those records of financial success blown to smithereens so you have to bend over like Chuck to pick them all up? Probably not, right? So get a f***ing acrylic block. This isn't rocket science. It's business, and I am a motherf***ing businessman.

Just trying to make sure no pick tipping occurred. You know how it be.

The Las Vegas Desert Ducks are proud to select the greatest defense partner of all time and the glue that binds an entire franchise together... Matt Niskanen.

Good luck to everyone else that DOESN’T have him.

@Young Sandwich you’re up.

 

[Young Sandwich]

If you haven't heard of this urban legend before you are either too young, too innocent, or need to get some better friends. It involves a gerbil, a tube, and Richard Gere's butthole. Yes, I am sad to report that it is not actually true that Mr. Gere had to go to the hospital to have a gerbil removed from his rectum.

Team Urban Legend - Richard Gere was into Gerbilling


Save us, @JojoTheWhale
