THE 2-PER-DECADE DRAFT: An All-Time 2-week HOLIDAY Game (from Dec. 18th to Dec 31st)

[Habsfan18]

EXCUSE ME. SHE is a lady.

That’s what I said. Look up.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Of course, you must have gotten a look at her and reasoned that calicos are rarely male.

On a hockey-er note, which 2 of Abel, Lindsay, Potvin, Fetisov or Clarke doesn't get a letter? Abel seems the obvious cut, but it's really hard after that!

My first thought was Fetisov. Not that he isn’t also deserving, but Clarke - Lindsay - Potvin looks like a pretty good leadership trio to me.

 

[Habsfan18]

I’m still debating between Beliveau and Messier for captain. Bourque has an A for sure.

Messier is Messier and an ultimate leader, but I have Beliveau with the C in my roster post right now. Beliveau just feels like the right call, maybe it’s the Habs fan in me.

 

[VanIslander]

For the Sting its pretty clear:

Gretzky (C)
Kennedy (A)
Lidstrom (A)

But team MVP: Hasek.

 

[ted2019]

Georges Boucher D 1920's
Clint Benedict Goalie 1910's

 

[VanIslander]

The Sarnia Sting select Dit Clapper (1930s), Tim Horton (1960s).

Merry Christmas guys!

 

[Johnny Engine]

Merry Christmas everyone!

In the spirit of peace on earth and goodwill to man, I'm going to use a 60s pick on a player most of us over here didn't even get to see until 1972, 10 years into his men's league career (and he started in the top Soviet league in 1965).

Boris Mikhailov!

And now for a real Christmas miracle. A saviour comes from the most humble of places. Percy Leseur (00s) is the 4th goalie taken in an all time draft, after Roy, Hasek and Plante and before a bunch of unmentionables.

Yeah it's weird. Yeah it makes total sense for my needs in this format.

I hope everyone's having a wonderful day.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Well Ted came first and now Leseur is the 5th goalie.
Still ahead of all the usual suspects for the 4th best goalie ever.

 

[Habsfan18]

Merry Christmas guys!

Frank Mahovlich, LW (60’s)

&

Johnny Gottselig, LW (30’s)

 

[Johnny Engine]

Good picks everyone. With that, I have 3 unscoopable picks to end the draft (60s, 80s, 90s).

Which one should I take on the second-last day?

 

[Johnny Engine]

My 20s pick is Hooley Smith.
That's the guy I want, but I know Ted will be gunning for him. If Ted gets here and takes him first, I have a backup pick for the same role.
If not, sorry Ted.
My other pick comes later today.

 

[VanIslander]

The Sarnia Sting select Didier Pitre (1900s) & Georges Vezina (1910s).

 

[Habsfan18]

Cecil “Babe” Dye, RW (1920’s)

My second pick coming shortly.

 

[ted2019]

Blair Russel LW 1900's
Cecil Dillon RW 1930's

 

[ted2019]

The Sarnia Sting select Didier Pitre (1900s) & Georges Vezina (1910s).

Thought about picking Pitre, but decided to go into a different direction in a last minute decision.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Blair Russel LW 1900's
Cecil Dillon RW 1930's

Dillion is an excellent 30s pick as an RW, and I hope I didn't mess with you too much.

 

[ted2019]

Dillion is an excellent 30s pick as an RW, and I hope I didn't mess with you too much.

Why did you mess me up?

 

[ted2019]

Doing this has got me excited about the ATD.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Why did you mess me up?

Thought you might have wanted to reunite 2/3 of the S Line

 

[ted2019]

Thought you might have wanted to reunite 2/3 of the S Line

Nah, I just went with a system in my head and flew from the seat of my pants.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Well, everyone's happy!

 

[Habsfan18]

My other pick will be Hugh Lehman, G (1910’s)

 

[Johnny Engine]

Was going to wait a little to have something happen here in the afternoon when not much is going on, but I see that it's very late where VanIslander is, so I'll take Henri Richard to complete this gritty bottom six:

Abel - Lalonde - Mikhailov
Walker - Richard - Smith

 

[Johnny Engine]

(That's my other 60s pick btw)
