  2. Nightfall will be at 7am tomorrow morning
  3. @DarthMelvin @falcon45ca @Blue Jay 22 @Master Radishes @CommonMarble @Sharpshooter @Lewitelli @naslund.is.king @Porscha @RubySausage It's up to you guys, but I can do Nightfall around 6 tomorrow, or midnight. Keeping the 48 hour rounds for now.
  4. Wrote it a couple days back and left the name blank before everything was submitted, and just filled the names in. Let's keep the angle shooty stuff out please.
  5. @DarthMelvin @falcon45ca @Blue Jay 22 @Master Radishes @CommonMarble @Sharpshooter @Lewitelli @naslund.is.king @Porscha @RubySausage DAY 2 STARTS NOW To clarify this rounds votes, please use a VOTE A and a VOTE B format. Vote A will be for the Lewt/Ruby/Sharp pool and B will be for everyone else. Example: VOTE A: LEWT/RUBY/SHARP VOTE B: ANGRYELF NOTE: PLAYERS IN POOL A (LEWT, RUBY, SHARP) ARE INELIGIBLE TO BE VOTED FOR IN POOL B. VOTES FOR THOSE THREE WILL NOT COUNT.
  6. NIGHT ONE Tired of all the pain and suffering, some of the city’s faithful got together and decided to take problems into their own hand. Unfortunately, it looks like there were too many cooks in the kitchen. There was a 3 way tie between @Lewitelli, @RubySausage and @Sharpshooter, with each getting two votes apiece. The decision was made to get a good night's sleep, and revisit tomorrow. The town decided there would be two separate lynches: VOTE A for the equal three, and VOTE B for the remainder of the city. Town heads request that ALL PROPER VOTE AND UNVOTE PROCEDURE SHALL BE USED, OR OTHERWISE IT MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED. Overnight, @luckylager got wildly drunk at Brewsters and thus decided to do the responsible thing, calling a cab. Unfortunately, the mafiosos felt he was a danger to their operation and infiltrated. They had a cab of their own, and picked him up feigning a standard pickup. Little did he know, the stand-in head was in the backseat, chain in hand. Lager was choked to death, and his body was left in a dumpster. On the other hand, @Ilunga was just leaving Surrey Memorial after visiting his sister, who hit her head in a freak pole-dancing accident. The dummy decided to walk, and was going down a side street when a random homeless man ran up behind him, shot him dead, squealed like a pig and tbagged him. In his defence, the homeless man thought anyone walking through a side street at night was a vicious gang affiliate, but Ilunga had been murdered and defiled in cold blood. Vote Count: o Lewitelli (2) – Naslund.is.king, Luckylager o RubySausage (2) – CommonMarble, Ilunga o Sharpshooter (2) – Falcon, MR o Luckylager (1) – DarthMelvin o Falcon (1) – SS o Porscha (1) – Lewt o Nik (1) – BJ o DM (1) – Porscha o Master Radishes (1) – RubySausage
  7. My bad, just got home. I'm going through the thread again but it looks like a 3-way tie for 2 between @RubySausage, @Lewitelli and @Sharpshooter
  8. Okay, I think I should clear things up here. I copied everyone's nicknames/abbreviations into my own document and used that for the randomizer. Porscha was on that and the randomizer, but I forgot to add her @ to the signup sheet, and copy-pasted that to start the game. I then DMed everyone, regardless of role/alignment, to tell them the game had begun to make sure the notifications were clear. There was no "tacking on."

  11. Offer Bedard, Pearson and OEL to Colorado in exchange for Makar. When they say no, jump for joy because we get a bonafide star on his ELC.
  12. Unfortunately, I agree with you. I think it’s highly unlikely we make the pick if we’re outside the top 4, and I’ve resigned myself to the fact that all my prospect watching will be for nothing.
  13. Nightfall will be TONIGHT AT 11PM PT. All selections and votes must be in prior to the deadline or they will not count, and ideally role selections are in earlier so I can get NF organized before then. Of course, this is not a requirement but it makes my life easier lmao @DarthMelvin @Ilunga @falcon45ca @luckylager @Blue Jay 22 @Master Radishes @CommonMarble @Sharpshooter @Lewitelli @naslund.is.king @RubySausage @Porscha
  14. I would’ve thought such a big talker like you could give more than an inch, but I guess that is SDE in its purest form.
  15. If they do up it to 34 teams, look at the NHL drastically changing the playoff format. There are some good teams that won't make the playoffs this year and I doubt Bettman likes that for league revenue. I think a play-in round with an extra training camp for the top teams is most likely coming.
  16. I wonder if the team who gets Michkov will offer a monetary sum to void his contract like Carolina tried to do with Alexander Nikishin earlier this year.
  17. Figured this deserves a new thread because Weekes is essentially saying it's almost a done deal as he did with the NHL to Australia games earlier this year. Third times the charm for Atlanta? I at least hope we get entirely new logos and branding for both teams, and that the league doesn't get watered down too much.
  18. We've seen time and time again that the most aggressive PK teams that do well in the regular season get creamed in the playoffs. It actually pays to be a bit passive, and the big thing I've noticed is that we're being a lot more diligent with blocking lanes than we used to be aside from the one goal against.
  19. I know someone mentioned this a few weeks back, but I'm really starting to see the vision for this team. Kuzmenko, Beauvillier, Kravtsov, Mikheyev, Aman, Raty, and even Lekkerimaki are lighter forwards who emphasize skill with their games. Hronek and Bear are hard-nosed, no-nonsense kinds of guys who are known for their effort and compete above all else, who also have a little skill they can use (albeit Bear is more defensive natured). The key is this is a fast and skilled forward group around Petey and Hughes, but this isn't a soft team. Tocchet wants the guys playing basic, but stark defensive hockey that can turn into rush chances for us. He also has them working their tails off along the boards. Boeser has been fantastic lately in this aspect, which has been a weakness since his back injury. The thing with skinnier skill guys and boardwork is they have their sticks in just the right spot, so even if they lose the strength battle they can still come up with the puck. Even with smaller guys, this group is being insulated now and in the future by guys who know how to fill a checking/hitting role to protect these guys: Joshua looks like a Barclay Goodrow lite under Tocchet, Bloom looks like a low-ceiling guy who has an above average shot, and while Lazar and Stillman didn't work here, the idea was the same. Mix in Myers (once every 30 games or so), Podkolzin, and Miller, you get a fast defensive team that'll beat you on the boards, and doesn't need to dominate possession to be dangerous. This is the identity the team is looking for, and now we need to find guys who buy into that mentality. Funny enough, Toronto probably wins the cup if they had that mentality. They're far too possession oriented and their goalies aren't good enough to stop constant rush and breakaway chances against. This is the style of play the Islanders played in back to back conference finals runs, except we have more offensive firepower (don't worry, I know they were WAY better than we are now. Just a stylistic comparison). Another key point is that Colliton has the boys in Abby playing the same style of play, which means there aren't any growing pains for callups trying to learn the NHL way. This, imo, has been a massive reason why we've been a development graveyard over the years going back to the days of Cassels and Shinkaruk. We've gotten low-event games from multiple guys who aren't NHL regulars, which isn't something we've had in the past. Going forward, I think it really matters what players we bring in. It doesn't matter if they make mistakes but they need to be able to avoid taking the second, third or fourth mistake afterwards ala Myers pre-Tocchet. I see Graves in that mold a bit, but it wouldn't surprise me if they go that route given his size. I like Mayfield and Severson, but they may price themselves out of our range. In terms of who we may pick up in free agency, I like: Connor Clifton LD/RD - Bos (27) Carson Soucy LD - Sea (28)
  20. Man, I know his contract is only for two more years but I every bone in my body is telling me I need a Kuzmenko skate jersey. I seriously love everything about his game.

      He was great pickup. Buy it. Do it. 
      ‘Even better if they will put numbers on one of the indigenous jersey that would be sweet.  
      ‘That is my favourite Canucks jersey so far. The Thunderbird is better than the skate or whale.

      The Thunderbird is the best logo the Canucks have ever used, by far. If the jerseys weren't $800, there'd be one on my wall right now.

      $800 Holy crap. Guess they are the OEL buyout fund.

  21. The guy is essentially a construction worker. He'll do the nitty gritty stuff without question, he has a no-nonsense attitude, and if you piss him off you have to deal with an angry guy with a big beard.
  22. Every once in a while I'll go back and look at the first 20 pages or so of Petey's thread. So much crow to be eaten because we didn't take Glass. He's a superstar, and I can't imagine a better leader for this team going forwards.
  23. Oh yeah just so you know, we don’t actually play mafia here. We just farm upvotes and pitypoints. That means you need to start liking my shit, jerkoff <3
  24. I think we need to get you mafia scumtards together for a game and some (and by that I mean far too many) beers.
