Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Sabres Oct. 9th (in Korea, 8th here in NA) - HOCKEY IS BACK!!! Edition

[Sens Rule]

3 hockey games in 4 days? On a LONG weekend too?

Good start to the hockey season

Up against the Jays playoffs.

I can't believe the degree I am on the Jays bandwagon. It is crazy. Don't follow baseball hardly at all since the Expos left, or even before cuz of 94... And Jays baseball on the RADIO is can't miss for me. Cutting the cable cord, for me, meant full season tickets and going to my parents, my brothers or to a bar to watch all away games. But the Jays are going to see me channel surf and maybe even watch playoff ball over regular season Sens hockey... For a few weeks.

 

[Sens Rule]

I don't get it. It's not a league made up of just sens fans and he was ranked like in the mid 100's by yahoo, and on average he went in the 110-120 area I got him at like 97

He will be a top 25 hockey draft pick easily. Nice steal.

[ChocolateLeclaire]

haha I just drafted stone last night a little before pick #100 in my league.

Me too. I was astonished he was ranked at #150-something in the Yahoo draft. Hoffman was ranked even lower!

I took him later as well.

 

[Cosmix]

You must be a veteran! Not many would suggest a Sam Cooke song. Good idea! I like Sam's music!

 

[Cosmix]

Not gonna be able to watch this. :/ Two tests on friday to study for.

I have two testes too!

 

[Super Cake]

I have two testes too!

Yup, Jays playoff baseball is can't miss stuff!

Same here. I got to draft both Stone and Hoffman in the late rounds seeing as no one else seems to be aware of how good these guys will be this season.

Good for us Sens fans that Yahoo and other fantasy leagues have no idea what's in store.

 

[mat_sens]

Stone was ranked 39th in the espn rankings. Was able to grab him at 35

Disappointed in you.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I'm disappointed in anyone who thinks baseball is exciting

 

[Senscore]

I'm disappointed in anyone who thinks baseball is exciting

It just has to mean something. Tension is exciting.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Ugh, we still have to wait till Thursday.

 

[Benjamin]

I'm disappointed in anyone who thinks baseball is exciting

Its exciting once every 5-10 mins for 10 seconds.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I'm disappointed in anyone who thinks baseball is exciting

I feel sorry for anyone who can't get excited over the Jays' amazing run to the playoffs.

I'll be watching both for sure, but Jays games will be first on the menu.

 

[ElRossoMatt]

I got Stone in my league with the 77th pick, Anderson with the 97th and Hoffman with the 134th. In all three cases there were guys ready to take them right after I took them.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I can't get excited about baseball

I sometimes got excited and decided to pay attention

And nothing happened for 10 minutes

So I stopped being excited and watched something else

 

[starling]

Baseball is like 3-hour long shootout.
Some people like shootouts.

What's with the Oct 9 date in the title of the thread?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
Lazar-Zibanejad-Ryan
Michalek-Pageau-Chiasson
Prince-Smith-Neil
Puempel the extra forward

Lines from today. I kind of like that 2nd line, Lazar adds some speed to the line

The third line is awful. Prince should go up with Pageau and Michalek.
I can't explain why they cannot see Chiasson's ineffectiveness.

Gawd can nobody keep a secret anymore! BM is trying to trade for a top 6 and Chia is part of the bait now that the cat is out of the bag he'll be worthless!!!

Read page 1... then it will all make sense.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Hoffman-Zibanejad-Ryan
MacArthur-Turris-Stone
Prince-Pageau-Lazar
Michalek-Smith-Chiasson

or

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
Prince-Zibanejad-Ryan
Lazar-Pageau-Michalek
Puempel-Smith-Chiasson

Bottom line: No michalek in top 6 and no Neil whatsoever loool
