Huge brain fart on my part yesterday--how did I leave Calder on the pine with a slot open? Arghh!

Nice production out of Smyth, Little M. It's always funny to see those guys with 1 SOG who score--on one hand you're like "very efficient" and on the other hand "you need to shoot more, you idiot!"

My pick will be made shortly. I will, more than likely set up a queue for tomorrow.

I made a 2 player Q... Permdude is my DP i think...

Can use for my 2 picks if the Q is still there... if not, i'll be back hopefully around 5pm tomorrow. Best i can do.

Cheers

Hmm, I think I may have overlooked something when I made my last pick. Not exactly a shining moment. *sigh*

Thanks Brian. You are a DP for me and I have a 6 man queue turned on. Take the first two (or three if you can get away with it) when TommyD gets around to drafting. I know you will treat me with care.

I am usually around to be a DP, but I am sicker than a dog at home today and won't be checking in as much as normal.

Left a queue with a bunch of DP's

The 5.12 pick doesn't look right.
Has the wrong player been picked or is it a placeholder?

it was the first person on Taxman's queue. I wondered about it too but thought it was a local person he knew something about.

I suspect that it's a LW that Taxman wants, with a simular name but on another team.

I think you are right. I called Taxman and he wants Semin from Washington instead of the pick that was made. Barilok could you please change that pick please.

Change made.

As per my post #365, i will be only able to check in once in while, so I made my queue longer to cover things off.

Was hoping Whitney would slip to me! Damn.

Hubble's queue is empty, so we'll have to await his return in a few hours.

I will be out for the rest of the night, so I have set up a queue to keep things moving. My DP's are Beezer and Dienasty again (hope you don't mind).

Well he wouldnt have slip to you perm.. he was last man on my Q... and snatch 1 pick before mine.

Hence the delay... i was locked in the raffinery.. no phone, no net... just got back and allready regretting that pick i made... damn you cobweb.

i really don't see how i can manage a Q for tomorrow... i feel bad about that. Maybe i'll sleep on it and go for homer reach. A receipe for last place.

Geez Hubble sure hope you're not stuck in the dehydrator...
if your homer reach is too ridiculous then we'll know you've been sniffing the glycol.

Ok... I thought picking Selanne was ballsy, but 7.06 is whole jungle gym of balls. :O

Sorry, it was not my intent to hold up the draft by picking Hubble's last player on his Q.
But I'm very happy with getting Whitney;-)
I didn't have any luck with my D-men last season, so it was a high priority for me to get a stud D early.
After taking Whitney, I had to sit in agony while good skaters fell off the board one by one until it was my turn again. But that's how it should be:-)
The 7.06 pick also surprised me.

Brad Isbister?!? What? That pick can't even be justified by the excuse that there is a similar named player our there. I even checked the alphabetical listing of players and he is sandwiched between nobodies....

Wolfer, the people want to know!!! ????

I think I am just going to go with a Recap myself. There is never anything rational when it comes to my choices.


Guys, leaving a short queue in Kafenatid is never a bad idea...

I have added Tommy D as a designated picker...so he can make his pick, my two and then his pick again. Hopefully that will save us the hours lost yesterday.

Note to Perm Dude re: Pick 7.07
Yahoo has Pominville listed as a RW, not LW as listed on Kafenatid. I don't know if this makes any difference to your future picks, but I thought I would let you know.

I am here on kafenatid...Tommy D has run 6 hours off the clock. I will make my picks and then the commish needs to decide whether or not to cut his time in next following rounds.
386barilko6

      Wed, Sep 19, 2007, 14:00
I guess as the rule states, Tommy D will get another 6 hours to burn through. Not the best thing to happen seeing as how we are already fighting up against the clock, but what can we do?

Tommy actually burned through 7.5 hours if you count the paused time as Philly made his pick at 6:30 in the AM.

Wondering what the plans are for the weekend. Right now, Kafenatid is showing the clock to be turned off on Saturday and Sunday. The reason that I am asking is that I cannot spend much time on the computer this weekend, but if the clock is going to be on, I will try to set up a large queue and check in when I get a chance.

I think as Commish you can select for him (a place holder) and let the draft continue.

When he shows up...have him designate his pick(s) and you can swap it for the place holder (is Bobby Hull available). That gets us back to drafting...and maybe will encourage him to leave a queue.

I think you used the free form commissioner only draft tool to correct my intended selection of Semin. Same process...just pick a player that is off the charts as a draft prospect.

Re 380

Will you take a long day, not turning off my queue, and the ranking I used as I was setting up my queue as an excuse?

Wolfer...if there was a mistake made, I have no problem changing your pick, so long as nobody else minds...

I think we were all shocked to see Izzy up there that high...

If wolfer and tommyd were to trade picks, 7.06 for 8.02, tommyd would get izzy and wolfer could pick, and we'd get this thing rolling again?
Fair? Don't know, but I'm sick of waiting:-(

STOP

Per post 399, Little M's queue was not intended for use in round 9. I'd recommend that his pick be undone and we wait for in the morning. I'll have my queue ready in case I'm not one before he picks in the AM.

I agree with The Beezer on both accounts. I have taken it upon myself and created a new thread for the league. Nothing I can do about LittleM's pick.
