Spite Player VI: Casey DeSmith (G)

@GKJ

 

[GKJ]

@pit can go, I’m the only one picking my category

 

[pit]

I could be defective here, but I've tried this search and not seen him anywhere. I expect to be corrected.

But the fact that this player is sitting out there just demonstrates how long we have been at this and how much careers can change in a couple years.

Redraft pick: Tage Thompson, drop Alex Turcotte

Not bad for my third line C.

@Magua , make that last pick of the round.

Jojo took him as a dealer's choice recently.

I’m pretty sure he was taken somewhere or other.

Ah ha, explains why he wasn't on the player's page. Knew it was too good to be true!

Edit: NEW PICK!

Drop Alex Turcotte

Redraft pick: Dawson Mercer

 

[Magua]

The Honolulu Ghibli give a respective kick to the curb and a suffocating hug to our Team Re-Draft Picks:

Jack Roslovic (OUT) and Troy Terry (IN)

Do you think this helps our roster, Troy, my shiny new All-Star?

Joke’s on you, we’re never playing hockey. But in theory, yes! Cap, you can move Buchnevich to C — which the Blues are experimenting with — and Terry to RW.

@Striiker — I love the smell of choccy milk in the morning

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

OK, I think I am caught up now.

We start the day with @Striiker on the clock, @BiggE on deck, @Rebels57 on the lido deck, and CelsiusFreak69 on that West Coast swing. Motown Philly back again, doodle oodle doo doo. Asnito's defective ass needs to make up two picks, and Perv and GKJ need to make up one apiece.

I'm not saying anything about tonight. It's beautifully cloudy outside, rain on and off - lovely atmosphere. I'm going to enjoy the great indoors with that as a background. I hope all of you are able to do the same.

Enjoy this from the single most underrated band of the 80s, which was otherwise full of nude scenes.

Good song choice, it’s one I love to cover.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lots of shows about volcanoes last night

 

[Asnito]

Sorry for the delay, crazy weekend. Picks incoming

 

[Asnito]

Our spite goalie is a local kid who spent his whole career as a rag, Mike Richter.

 

[Striiker]

I can’t go. @DancingPooHead ruined my life

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I can’t go. @DancingPooHead ruined my life

You guys can work something out - just have a chat with him. You'll get Dortmund.

Just skip your pick for now.

 

[Asnito]

Ancient civilization change from the Mongol hoard to the Visigoths who sacked Rome in 410.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Catching up here after catching a monster of a brown trout this past weekend while tits deep in some pretty sketchy river flows. The crafty f***er slipped out of the net before I could get any pictures, but at least my dad was there to see it while losing his shit over the size of the fish from the bank.

With Stan Kroenke descending further and further into what can only be described as a combination Bernie Lomax/Bond Villain look, we figured it was time to ditch the walking corpse for someone who isn't most likely dead already (and also has waaaaay more money).

We're going to take this re-draft opportunity to nab the current richest sports team owner in the world. Suck it Ballmer.

Team Re-Draft - Owner - Mukesh Ambani (Replacing Stan Kroenke)

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@BiggE can go. So can @GKJ

 

[BiggE]

Look at this cheesy pornstache sporting piece of shit! Our final spite player, forward MIKE BULLARD.

Bad enough that he was a balless douchebag, but the Flyers traded the late Peter Zezel for this asshole. The highlight of his Flyers career was coach Paul Holmgren nearly choking him to death after he was out drinking the night before a playoff game.

In the Quackverse, he will be required to chug cans of sterno while skating endless Herbies. f*** him.

@Rebels57 , come do this thing of ours.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Suck it Ballmer.

I’d rather complain than find solutions

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

@Striiker

I'm not sure about the Child Labor Laws that may be involved here but...

I won’t watch anything after 5.

 

[Rebels57]

FOG Re-Draft

Out ---> D Justin Holl
In <--- D Vince Dunn

Dunn often flashed high-end puck-moving ability in St. Louis, but it wasn't until his second season in Seattle after being given the chance to be the primary puck-mover that we saw what he is capable of.

14 goals (with a sustainable 9.4% shooting percentage), 64 points.

 

[BernieParent]

I won’t watch anything after 5.

Just start earlier in the day.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

First and foremost, the Sockeyes would like to pay respects to our legend forward, Petr Klima. His road to North America was unbelievable and helped open doors for the Eastern Europeans that followed. RIP big guy.

***

For our final spite selection of the round, we will turn our attention to an individual who has had a decades long impact on the Flyers, despite never being officially associated with them, nor with the NHL itself.

His mundane request, common amongst all American youth, had repercussions that could not have been predicted at the time and can be barely understood today. A true "butterfly flapping its wings" scenario.

All this kid did was to ask his dad to play catch. In a horrible twist of fate, this request led to his dad breaking his arm. This directly impacted the 2004 Stanley Cup playoffs and meant that the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated in the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Final before ultimately winning the Cup against Calgary.

Fast forward 18 years to 2022 and the Flyers hire the asshole who coached that 2004 Lightning team to glory, which has sunk the Flyers even farther into the darkest timeline. Had this kid just played Mario Kart in his bedroom that fateful day in 2004, we would never have remembered the name John Tortorella.

And for that reason, the Seattle Sockeyes choose to spite Jakob Desjardins, who definitely played hockey, but we couldn't confirm which position he played (we are placing him into the spite defenseman slot).
