I hate Team PT. This one might be better because I actually have more than 2 other people on my team, but yeah, I don't particularly care for it, I'm not a history guy really.

yes, but probably not for long

No suplexing this train

I nominate the person who will be spending 13 miles on a trail tomorrow morning (me)

Watched it now, it was good, but yeah in the future if you want me to watch a video like that, I'd have to know you made it.

I had no idea you made the video, perhaps because it doesn't say anywhere in the post that you made it. I assumed (and rightly so, from the information provided) that it was just another Vancouver playoffs marketing video, whether from their department or from some random fan (one that I do not share a league with) and as a Pens fan, that would have no interest to me, so I never even clicked on it. I would think other people probably have done the same thing.

Frank, nothing against you at all, but I didn't spend 2/3 of my career with you on my team trying to get you a cup, to repay all the work you put in for me. That was the case with Boychuk. You've had cups, you've certainly been around long enough to have had cups, and I hope you get plenty more, just not this one.

I prefer them on the bottom. To me, they are one of the less important aspects of the forum. I like to talk about things (general discussion and sports discussion). I like to read articles (590s, media). Then after that, I might check into my locker room and see what is going on in there. I suppose my argument for them being on the bottom is much the same as your argument for them being on the top - it is based on the things you personally find important.

Bonus Look Season 44 Entry Draft Prospects Kerkko Hyvärinen Defense - Finland

Yeah you're the one guy on Quebec that I actually feel bad beating.

So I'm Quick? Yeah, I'll take that.

I'm retiring preseason, so I'll still be there in shell form next season.

It's one of those positions where we'd like to potentially upgrade, but not at the expense of bigger needs. When Stewart is healthy (like he FINALLY was for much of last season, but hasn't been for some time) he's a decent back. There's also a lot of confidence in Fozzy. That said, O-line is the biggest need, and there's definitely no sense in going RB when he's not going to be able to go anywhere. I have a feeling RB might be a position that's addressed in the 5th with one of the compensation picks, a guy to take a shot on and groom behind Stewart/Tolbert. If he busts, we're still ok-ish, if Fozzy continues to progress. O-line first. I don't think Gettleman really expects Oher to come in and save everything. He's an upgrade over Byron Bell, but then an actual bell would be an upgrade over Byron Bell. Remmers stepped up toward the end of the season, he's probably the best tackle on the roster right now, followed by Oher, which is why we need a tackle, and it wouldn't hurt to grab a guard too. Steve Smith or no, the single biggest reason for the decline last season compared to the season before was the retirement of Jordan Gross. Replace him, and we're 11-5 again. Yes, just one guy - but good OTs are hard to come by. After that, probably the secondary. Tillman is a decent (old) pickup, just like Harper was last year, but neither is going to be around for long, and neither is really good enough anymore. They're upgrades over anyone else we might have had, but secondary by piecemeal isn't a great idea. Bene needs some time to develop, for right now he'll be a good nickel corner and can come in on injuries etc. We need to pick up a safety to develop as well. I like what Tre Boston has done since joining but he can only fill one spot. After the secondary, WR. Benjamin certainly did better than expected, despite all the drops, but Ted Ginn (who we had 2 seasons ago and didn't impress, now picked back up after a season away) is currently the second WR. That's a problem. He's a massive upgrade on Bersin or Philly for returns, which I suspect is his primary usage this season (and will likely give Bersin the door) but a solid #2 would be nice. My best guess as to RB would be that it is the fourth biggest need, after the three above (fifth, if you want to count tackle and guard separately instead of lumping them in as O-line). There are a few obvious bright spots on the roster. D-line, even without Hardy, is still very solid, if not as fear-inducing as before - Star and Short are good, Johnson was worse last year but just because he could draw the double teams without Hardy opposite him, so if Ealy steps up (or Addison plays like he did for a few games early last season) D-line is still just fine. Linebacker is also its usual self. Luuuuke isn't going anywhere, nor is Davis. Klein is meh, but we don't need him to be anything special when Luuuuke and Davis are there. Olsen is still lighting it up at TE. Cam, while not great, is also not terrible - he's certainly starter quality, which is more than can be said for some other teams' actual starters.

REALLY? So not only was I shitty at defense, I fought a ton? Maybe I was pissed at being shitty?

Is it no TPE for worse than 12th?

This point task closes upon the completion of game 3 of the series, no excuses. Pick the winner, all three correct will earn 1 TPE (N/A is an answer here) Game 5: @ - col Game 6: @ - col Game 7: @ - n/a Predict the score, Correctly predict the score and winner for 3 TPE Game 5: @ - 3-1 col Predict the leading point earner of the series for 1 TPE Thomassen Predict the leading penalty minutes earner for 1 TPE Laich Predict the leading special teams goals earner for 1 TPE Gow

So with NY now out, I'm probably going to be the highest scoring fantasy player. Considering my history of players, I find that weird.

Since the 3m is not from a contract, can I wait a week or so to claim it, when Hyvarinen exists (when preseason recreates are official)? With only being able to buy one Jagr there are only so many things I can spend money on with Brookside.

Excuse me - you will what? No heads will be had. You are out, I am not out, nor are my teammates. Onward to leading fantasy scorer-ness!

Only reason you haven't GMed me (or at least I don't think you have) is because I'm usually one of the other GMs

Cologne beat Stockholm, not Helsinki

Carolina, and of what will probably be there at 25 (the playoff ride was fun but ultimately screwed us) I'd say Clemmings. If some other guys are there (Peat comes to mind, but likely a late teens pick) I'd take them. That said, there's a few season window to build the team up, because we should keep winning the NFC South by accident. There are no other football teams.

We don't need to beat you, we beat everyone else more times and come out ahead of you anyway. In case that didn't give it away, PENS!!!! Watching Lemieux and company lift the cup when I was 6, I don't know how you can get more hooked than that.
