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

[Rebels57]

Don't be a hater.

 

[Rebels57]

Our Disney song was used in the timeless classic Gnomeo and Juliet, but it's not a Disney original, so @Hollywood Couturier owes us money when it is played in association with Disney productions.

We ask that you ignore all covered versions, especially that of a certain trashy Canadian band.

Disney song: Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) by Elton John.

@Rebels57, double dip time.

This feels like a loophole lol

Speaking of hating, that f***ing diabolical "Take Me to Church" should die in a fire. Such total ear poison.

 

[Rebels57]

I'm not much of a book reader these days and Ian Fleming is our Team Author, so for our Stand Alone Book, the PORTLAND FOG will be selecting CASINO ROYALE, my favorite of Fleming's Bond series I have read so far.

 

[Rebels57]

For our Re-Draft, the FOG are replacing Katee Sackhoff as our Team Actress with NATALIE PORTMAN.

I picked Sackhoff early on because she's a Portland native but we've gone so far off the rails at this point that it doesnt matter.

Portman had been doing incredible work (Star Wars aside) since her first role as the 13 year old Mathilda in the Luc Besson masterpiece, The Professional. She continues to be one of the best in the business 28 years later. I'll fight to the death for her honor.

@CanadianFlyer88 you're up Loopy McLoophole

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@BiggE you can go - @CanadianFlyer88 said he is busy for a while and will make it up when he gets back on.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I am back. One moment, please.

JT: Ok, so let me get this straight Vince, you don’t want to re-think any of these picks?

VM: FIRST OFF DAMMIT, CALL ME MR MCMAHON!!

JT: yeah ok hotshot, and you can call me Coach Tortorella!
JT: So, nothing? Not even that trashy skank, Bregoli??

VM: Well, maybe you’ve got a point there, dammit! She is disgusting. Here, my secretary is texting you a suitable replacement. Just read the damn text!!

JT: Fine, anything to get this over with, I have a real job to start looking for! Anyway, the new rinkside reporter for the Methgators is Florida’s own, Barbie Blank aka Kelly Kelly!

Well? That’s it, you can show yourselves the hell out!

@DancingPanther , drop the bong and move things along

If you haven't yet, you have to watch the original "Casino Royale" with Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, Orson Welles, Ursula Andress, David Niven, and more. I haven't watched it in so long that I don't know how it holds up anymore, but it was my favorite film outside of "Star Wars" growing up.

Hozier is an excellent singer

 

[DancingPanther]

I'm up again? What the f***.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Hozier is an excellent singer

Sure.

I'm up again? What the f***.

Sure.

 

[DancingPanther]

I dunno man, Riley Damiani is having a pretty good rookie AHL season. Point per game, was the captain of his CHL team, well liked, good two way player with good vision. Go with him. Make him play wing and Jost play center I suppose.

 

[DancingPanther]

Sure.



Sure.

@pit back to you bud!

GM Doug: What do you mean I have to pick again? I'm exhausted. Do you know how much work I put into googling celebrity chicken lookalike earlier? Jesus.

Alex Turcotte: Excuse me sir, but that's not good behaviour.
GM Doug: What? Who? Hey, didn't I draft you?
AT: Yessir.
GM Doug: So what did I do wrong, other than draft you?
AT: You took the Lord's name in vain.
GM Doug: I did?
AT: Yessir.
GM Doug: When?
AT: Just now.
GM Doug: You must have misheard me. Now how about a bright young boy like yourself earn a signing bonus on your ELC by making a pick for me?
AT: Really? That seems swell!
GM Doug: Yeah, boy it is. Sure is swell. Here's the category list.
AT: Oh, I don't even need to read past the first one sir. I can get you the best in the world for all time.
GM Doug: You, uh, can? And no one has taken it?
AT: That's right.
GM Doug: Well then go for it!
AT: The Chicago Chimpanzees are pleased to select the most important and best selling book of all time with five billion sold - The Bible.
GM Doug: Oh Jesus.
AT: Sir!
GM Doug: WHAT?!
AT: You did it again.
GM Doug: Boy did I. @Chuck Downie , you're up.
AT: You better get to confession.
GM Doug: What I better get is a cut of each book sale. Eesh!

This was the other book I was thinking on taking. Nice pick. Fun fact, it’s the most shoplifted book in history.

@Hurricane28

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Good morning, puppet masters.

We start the day with @Hurricane28 on the clock, @BernieParent on deck, @Hollywood Couturier on the lido deck, and @Young Sandwich on the lido afterdeck washing his underpants by hand in the hot tub.

Tonight is Asian Cinema Night, obviously, and I think I might watch "The World of Kanako" again, because it's awesome. Funny story - if you watch it, and love it (Spoiler Alert: You Will), you can then go to the Try Hard Garbage Shop and buy merchandise featuring stuff from that film, including - but not limited to - acrylic blocks. Because I'm not just a film lover, or a Japanophile, or a freak - I'm also a damned businessman dammit.

Today is the perfect day to choose a Standalone Book or to re-draft a Non-Defunct Sports Franchise, ajgoal, or think of a Historical Figure to raise from the dead and put in your [REDACTED} for the journey through time and space to the new place. It's probably going to be grim for the first many hours, but then let's take off and get 'er done, like a chicken with its innards bursting to poo and a perfectly good patio to aim at. NEE-HAW!
