Gimme minutes!!!!

Only a few short days ago the S57 Dispersal Draft was held and the Yukon Rush had themselves one hell of a draft. Let us meet the new members. 2nd Overall - D - Dragon McDragon - @JardyB10 The rearguard from Moose Jaw is an impressive specimen at 6'5" and 210 pounds. McDragon could certainly stand to add some muscle to his frame in the future to better handle the rigors of professional hockey. The Yukon management is not complaining though, he boasts some of the best defensive IQ in the draft and his headman pass is already on par with some veteran players in the league. McDragon has already started working on his skating; it is not quite good enough to call average but coaches say he is a quick study and it won't be long until he is a stud. 7th Overall - G - Burger King - @Tyler Knowing that you can't win without a good goal tender the Rush made sure to target one early in the draft. King comes in at 6'4", which is a pretty typical size for goalies in today's game. The young net-minder is raw in terms of skill but has sky-high potential and could end up surprising a lot of players who think they are in for an easy game. The tendy from Houston is well rounded but once he gets some professional coaching we could see a drastic change in style. 12th Overall - Otto Axelsson - Dangles13 The Rush went with another raw player with high upside at 12th and also another position of need. Swedish center Otto Axelsson is unheralded and not particularly skilled at any one thing. He projects as a well-rounded play-making center and at 6'2" he is a big pivot with strength to play a good two-way game. Can the young Swede deliver on his draft position or will join the ranks of so many before him who couldn't handle the pressure of being a professional athlete? 17th Overall - LW - Vincent Oakhart - @Boomcheck Keeping up with the pattern of drafting big fellas, the Rush took big sniper Oakhart to complement Axelsson's pass first mentality. The heaviest player Yukon selected projects to be a goal scoring phenom who can skate and crash bodies with aplomb. Less raw than some of the other players drafted he might be leaned on heavily to start the season but if early indications are to be trusted he can handle the load. 22nd Overall - RW - Matthew Clyne - @haffiedq The first player less than six feet for the Rush is offensive minded American born Matthew Clyne. The undersized winger can skate and shoot but is also an underrated passer who can dish with the best of them. He might have a hard time adjusting to the pros with his small stature and his reluctance to hit the gym may find him in the coach’s dog house more often than not. 27th Overall - LW - Larry Lobster - @VHLwhat Last pick of the Rush is American born Larry Lobster, another big shoot first player. While he has a cannon for a shot he doesn’t bring too much to the table and scouts have questioned his upside. Hopefully Larry can grow beyond his expectations and prove the doubters wrong.

I guess I'll play

Play-maker. The phrase of play maker is a weird one, it means different things to different people. To some a play-maker is a passer, he has the uncanny vision needed to set his line mates up for a nice goal. Some view a play-maker as a player who holds on to the puck and makes his own space so he can score. In football a play-maker is simply a player who makes plays. A quarterback who scrambles out of a collapsing pocket to deliver a dime 25 yards down field, a wide out who breaks the ankles of his defender to turn a 5 yard catch into a 60 yard touchdown or even a defensive back who has a nose for big interceptions and can change the tide of the game. For me I dislike the term for that reason, making a play is about so much more than a nice pass. A breakout pass from a rearguard to get the offence going is beautiful and so important to making plays. A big power-forward crashing the paint and creating havoc that allows for a sniper to wire his wrister bar down is making a play. Even a bottom line grinder who chips the puck and hammers the defender to force a turnover is making plays. We need to get back to the basic meaning of the term and start calling players appropriately. Snipers don't just shoot, I mean Dany Heatly did but... I digress. Most goal scorers are competent puck handlers and can pass fairly well. Two way forwards are not just defensive stalwarts and are usually quite proficient offensively. It is two way and not defensive player but we forget that. Ask yourself this; Why are all the best players in the NHL usually called play-makers? The Crosby's and McDavid's are not one dimensional by any means and Crosby has even led the league in goal scoring but is still a play-maker. People need to wake up and start using their brains. In a world where we are so conscientious of labeling people I find it odd that we are so narrow minded in the hockey community. Otto Axelsson is indeed a play-maker but he isn't a simpleton who can only pass the puck to his team mates. Otto can check and defend and make opponents afraid to be on the ice with him. He has a fast and accurate shot that will help fill the net, it's not a heavy shot mind you but it will lead to goals. Axelsson can stick handle with the best of them and will rag the puck as long as needed until his linemates get open. Otto Axelsson is the real deal, the total package, he is a play maker!

Much thanks friend.

+2 Otto Axelsson

How about for this we use team activity? Something like the team with the most media/graphics has the highest finances.

cool

Yeah let's go team that I'm barely a part of

It really depends on how good of a week you have.

Player of the week receives a blowjob?
