Hey there all, I had decided to do this a bit ago for my 20,000 post. I would like to thank my shitty mobile service for the many double posts I could not delete myself that likely helped get me here much faster then I normally would have, ha!
Anywho, This was begun before Operation Facelift took place and every team shuffled players and the draft started. Where ever you were when the Cup was hoisted is where you will find yourself on this list. I think... If not, let me know. If you should be on here and aren't, let me know.
If you are a Season 26 draftee, I excluded you only the basis that I would have little say yet as I don't know many of you but best of luck to you on your journey.
I'd like to dedicate this post to the New England Wolfpack and anyone who has ever run with us.
AHRHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Eastern Conference

Brandon - Well, you are at the helm of one of the new expansion teams and it rests on you and JP whether or not expansion is a success or a failure. Hate to put that amont of pressure on you but I am certain you feel it anyway. I love the team name and location but cannot say I am huge fan of the John Deere colors. You are a great sig maker and the set you made for the Season 20 Wolfpack Draftees remains one of my favorites as it nailed the colors and tone I wanted in my signatures perfectly.
Best of luck with Buffalo, though the Buffalo Wings was a team name I had considered submitting jokingly.

Brumm - There is this issue in the SHL, where GMs sometimes get attached to a certain player and then are unable to draft them. That also includes players more often then not and I wanted to see you drafted to New England. You are/were great in the Firebirds LR and I felt you would have fit in amazingly on the Pack but another GM saw the same qualities we did and unfortunately for us had a higher pick. You have been an amazing member so far and I hope you stick around a good long time.
V5Vlats - I can't say I know a hell of a lot about you, I have seen you around the forums here and there but can't recall ever interacting. Whats your favorite NHL team?
Nuck - I had heard from Tanner that you are a great dude and the Skype chats with you helping you get that computer orders and your sheer giddyness was pretty awesome. I can't wait til you get it and let me know how it runs. I added you on Steam, so we should totally get a game fo CiV 5 up and running as soon as possible.
LVShark - What happens in Vegas...moves to Seattle I guess. That may have been one of my funnest memories in the SHL was Vegas, the LR was hilarious and that we drafted someone named LVShark made it that much better. I haven't talked to you in ever, but I hope things are going well for you and yours.
iRockstar - You have an extremely fitting player name for the team you are on, lucky to be traded out of a team that failed in the playoffs to the team that succeeded. I don't know you very well but I have never had an issue with you. I see you doing very well in Hamilton, especially with Muerto departing there is going to be a production vacuum and it seems you will be sucked right into that.
Rum_Ham - Oh wow, you were one of the quiet ones on Prince George and I enjoyed your presense greatly even if you didn't post a hell of a lot. You made one of my favorite signatures, are a classy member and a great asset to the league. It is sad we do not share a LR because I don't see you in the Firebirds one often at all these days. I hope Hamilton treats you well as Tanner is a GM I respect a lot and he will make the most out of players who follow.
JPL - Ugh, you are one of the TriJays. I mix you, JNH and JHS up so often it is not funny. I would comment but I think I am confusing you with JNH at the moment. I think of the three you are the quiestest so I think that's why I don't know too much about you.
Shultzy - Mixed feelings here, prior to actually chatting with you on a league level I thought you were a dink (for going back to Hamilton) but now, you seem like a pretty good dude which is nice. You care about this league and it's development and I really appreciate that. Wouldn't mind playing together someday but it doesn't look possible at all given that neither of us are likely to leave our current teams.
Tanner - TANNER MY BOY! YOU DID IT! YOU FUCKING DID IT! It was awesome chatting with you in Pack chat during the playoffs, cause despite us missing out, you made it feel like we were there. Over the last few months, I have gotten to know you because of the Skype calls. You are a gentleman and a scholar and one of the GM's I respect most in the league due to your openess and friendly nature. 10/10 would totally play for.
Bluesboy71 - It was only recently I found out who the hell Bloobs was, can't believe I missed out on that but speaking of missing out I thought it would be funny if I didn't ask for access to the Season 20 LR until draft night and be all like "Where is everyone?"
Felt I missed out on a lot by doing that and that I would have gotten to know people a lot better if I had done that.
Bushito - Someone I barely know sadly, you don't post much that I see around the boards and I don't think we have interacted at all. I like the username though.
Janchuks2003 - For some reason everytime I see your name I confuse it with Mstuk41 and I have no idea why. Another person I would like to get to know as I have never had an issue or anything and would like to change that with anyone I mentioned it about so far. A handful on one team whom I converse with their GM fairly often is making me sad. There are alot of new people in the league I just don't know at all.
SnickersLV - Do you know any sharks? I feel you and LVShark were meant to tour this league together. I recall seeing you around a handful of times but I don't believe we spoke to each other at all.
KezKincaid - This league has people who I enjoy from the moment they join and you would fall into that grouping. You seem like a great dude, a great teammate and know how to build a great player. It is unfortunate that Colt and Muerto never got to play together as I think they could have made magic together with the builds they both have. Hmm, maybe sometime soon that could be a possibility, just not with Muerto.
The Sherriff - Chances are you will not see this, you have been away for awhile but each team has a handful of players I want to comment on even if they are inactive. I recall you from way back being held as one of the best sig makers on this site. If I remember correctly, you are/were active on the VHL so there is a chance you may come back.
![[Image: 2432nnb.png]](http://i60.tinypic.com/2432nnb.png)
Terraraida - I unfortunately know little about you, though I have to say when i do see you post I enjoy them. You remind me of a poster I used to know from another site, as they had a very similar name. It is not you though, to my knowledge as the guy was British I believe.
Maceior - You either, I don't know you but you PM'd me about Mock Draft a few days ago and how pleasent you were made me think highly of you, you are a very respectful person and I appreciate how eloquent you were with your inquiry. Hope you stick around.
Buster - We don't like each other, or you don't like me, I can't remember which mostly because I cannot remember why we don't like each other much. I can't remember the last time we even got in an argument so I don't know what it's all about anymore but if you wish to keep it going just to keep it going i am fine with it, adds more to the matchups between our teams.
Mook - SCOTIAN REP! How you doing? I hope all is well with the little one and everything. Haven't gotten to talk to you muich since your rookie year and you going first made complete sense as did Merica choosing you as his Co-GM, you helmed the PT department and did so well, it is a lot of work as I am learning quick quickly and you have my respect for taking the reins as long as you did. Anyway, like I said before, you ever wanna meet for a beer or ten, I am game if I am free.
Ocho - We have never interacted at all and then all of a sudden I find you enjoy old school rock as much as I do, we share a lot of the favorite bands and you came across as a great dude to chat with and then...drafted to Manhattan and I don't think we have spoken since. I hope all is well with you and really hope at some point in both our tenures on this site we somehow cross paths at least once.
Maxy - Oh wow, Maxy Maxy Maxy. The love/hate relationship we have is humouress at times. I like you but holy shit, we will argue over fucking anything won't we. I think you are a good dude, a bit hot headed at times like myself but generally are pretty good natured otherwise. You got my total respect when you offered up your time and skill to make signatures for rookies. That sort of outreach is what may get someone to stick around longer then they would have otherwise and will only make this league grow. So much has changed since the early days. I remember your crazy stat player and how crappy he somehow did in like Season 4-6 or something. We expected Gretzky numners and we got like Toews, great all around but not a point producer. Anyway, at this time you are no longer in Manhattan, good luck on the new team and I hope you and Hoggie are doing well, haven't seen here in ever.
Narconis - I am not a HIMYM fan, have never even watched an episode but am a Neil Patrick Harris fan and have a friend who looks a lot like him. People keep saying I should watch it but I never get around to it. Anyway, back to you, you are a driven dude and do a lot around here, putting together a great player in a short span but also gaining a rep as a hothead and shitdisturber. It is a hard label to shed my friend but you seem to be on the right track. We all make mistakes, we just have to learn from them. Good luck in Manhattan, you will do well there as your totals have already shown.
Nike - Oh Goody, I get to write about...well Goody. Firebirds represent! I miss the early mornings in the LR, we both up at the crack of dawn tended to be the only ones around at that time. Became my morning roitual to post *Clicks lunch pails together* Morning Goody and within like 5 minutes you will have replied, gave me a chuckle every morning. It is unfortunate you had to step down, I assume real life took precedence there and that is understandable. Good luck with whatever it may be.
JHS - You've made quite a name for yourself already and were front and center of the first 50+ page shitstorm we've had in a long while. I have never had an issue with you myself but for some reason others seem to. Unfortunate as you seem to me to be a pretty good dude, but I have never played under you so I am not sure what you are like as a GM. Heimer-Schmidt looks to be turning out quite well and we will likely see a lot of each other very shortly in matchups.
Jorec - I think of you as one of those people who only comments when they feel it is worth commentating. I don't see you much around the league, assuming you are more active in your LR then anywhere else. Like you and what you bring to the league.
Spangle - When you were commish, I think I was one of your biggest dissenters. Did not like how you did things at all and your reactions to some legitimate concerns at the time was infuriating to say the least but since then I've enjoyed your presence around here.
Dooley - There was a chain of pool halls in my city, named Doolys or Dooleys I can'tr recall which, I remember taking a girl on a date there and quite enjoyed playing since she leaned over the table a lot. I don't know you at all I am afraid and that is regrettable given you have been here awhile.
CJ - One of the quieter people on the site nowadays, I do not recall seeing you post in public very often anymore. I occasionally say something you don't like and you let me know via rep but other then that we haven't interacted a whole hell of a lot.
Merica - Um...Wasn't looking forward to writing this one. You were in Seattle when I returned to the site at least semi-actively, my indecisiveness on retiring or trying to make a comeback with a heavily regressing player or not seemed to agitate you, shit boiled over, I left and we ended up facing each other in the finals that following season. Even in the loss, I enjoyed the story being told.
Since then, our relationship has been rocky at best. We don't get along very well but I really don't see a reason why we can't. Perhaps I just rub you the wrong way and if that is the case, well, can't do much to change that. Anyway, good luck helming the Rage this season.
You made an excellent choice in hiring Mook. The dedication he has shown as PT Director (trust me when I say it's an intimidating job) makes me believe he and you will put together a strong contender in a short span.
Drake - Drizzy, I think we played together in Seattle. I don't recall you posting much or us talking much in there but want to at least say I love your players name, it rolls off the tongue nicely and Drake sounds like a great hockey player name.
![[Image: 2u7t2sh.png]](http://i57.tinypic.com/2u7t2sh.png)
Peanutbutter - When you signed, I was like 'Oh great, this will get confusing when I refer to PB and get a response from you as well' but that has not occured even once. Since I have no knowledge of you or anything about you, I imagine you as Kate (Doc Hollidays girl in Tombstone) and that you were eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich when you created your player. That may not be true, but don't break that mental image for me.
Argarbargar - You're my huckleberry. One of the best names on the site combined with a Doc Holliday avatar from Tombstone? May be one of my favorite none Wolfpack members on this site. I love what you bring to the league and that you managed to mine the EA forums for a bunch of great members makes me even happier. I see you in a GM role someday, you are a natural.
Eurocap - I feel I do not know you at all, which is unfortunate as I recall you being very active from the time you were drafted up to right now. I supported your hiring as GM when most of the league went apeshit over it, still think you make a good GM and I am curious if you will return to that role soon.
Advantage - I don't know you at all unfortunately, wish I had more to comment but at least I am not commenting anything bad about you because I have nothing. Sorry :(
Smirnov Light - I don't rightly know which Smirnov you are, I assume the old one and even then I don't know much about you at all as we haven't crossed paths much in our time here.
Josh - Someone I don't and likely never will get along with. I'd like to say something positive, but I don't believe any of our interactions have ever been that. I would like to get along with everyone but not sure what can be done at this point.
XPark - Park, jesus, you are still here somehow and still commish. You are probably in a small padded room and your keyboard is likely screwed down to something to prevent you strangling yourself with the cord. You get the brunt of the flack around here as most figureheads do and deal with better than most would I think. I don't think we have ever been on the same team and I regret not getting to know you a little better given our long tenures here. Good luck this season in Portland, that franchise should do well from the start with the lineup it has.
Banjo - You were inactive when I was CoGM in Minny, which I was unhappy about as your name is derived from a game I enjoyed a lot and your players name from a show I enjoyed a lot. I would have chatted for hours about both with you but most of that team was inactive sadly. I am curious what you will do if/when you retire and which player you will create. I hope it's another Breaking Bad reference.
Deedz - Holy shit, how long has it been...20 Seasons...We were drafted in Season 5, you played backup and we lost out in the Finals. I recall that trade being the hardest I have ever made as a GM because it was someone I truly wanted to stay but I recognized you as a great member who was being held back by being a backup and you took that completely in stride.
I recall coming to you and seeing where you would want to go and said I would make it happen. You then went on to be one of the greatest goalies of all time in this league. Wouldn't be the first time I made a trade where the player ended up insanely better (Elyk, Boyka, Kane) I hope we get to share an LR again someday, it has been YEARS in real life since we have done so and it sucks. Hope all is well with you buddy.
Toast - I recall you do not like me or I may be mixing that up with someone else but I think it was you. If not, I am sorry. I don't know you too well as I don't interact much with you. I don't recall ever having issues with you so I am even more certain I am wrong with the first part of this.
Maytee - Fuck you and your goal scoring. Last season was a crappy season for the Wolfpack and for some reason you found the net every single game against us. It was messed up and I am insanely happy to see you leave our conference because whatever was going on with your player against us I am happy will no longer take place with us or at least as often.
I remember way back, there was something with you and the Wolfpack, I don't know the details or anything but apparently it wasn't good. Not sure if your opinion changed on us but it is a far different team now.
Byrde - The term "Byrde-Like Contract" is a thing. That was an obscene amount of money for one season and even worse that you guys could not manage to get it done. You are an East Coaster like myself and I think we'd get along great but I have never gotten along with the GM's you play for and I think that lends to any tension we have, if any.
In all seriousness, you make it over to the mainland I will fry some cheeks and tongues m'by and we will have a hootenanny.
Tylar - I know next to nothing about you besides that you have one of my favorite avatars on this site. Sorry bro :(
Cant - Oh god, the puns that we had with you, Reid, Tsizling, etc in the LR. Your name made so many possible and you were great in the LR and I regretted seeing you leave but knew it was for the best on the teams side of things. I see you retiring soon, now that Rehn has. Would absolutely love to have you back in New England. Miss you man.
![[Image: mrrdk5.png]](http://i61.tinypic.com/mrrdk5.png)
Buckley - Buckley! You champ you. You haven't been around lately, with the crazy exciting summer you have been having. Down in cancun maccing on the mama citas, now off somewhere else I can't remember and this after some barbeque where you ate wings so fucking hot most assholes would need a fire extinguisher. You were on my draft sheet early and I overslept, thankfully PB and Storm had the good sense to see that you would be a total boss in the PR and drafted you anyway. You have been a great dude in the LR and you can rock a sweater vest like it's nobodies business. "What'll ten dollars get me?" may have been the best story I have seen in the LR in a long time, laughed pretty hard imagining that scenario. Good job man, I look forward to forward to playing with Butch Fucking Buckley for a long time.
O'Reilly - What a fucking smartass this guy is. I love it though and his presense in the LR. The banter between him and I is incredibly fun and keeps things pretty lighthearted since we tend to poke at each other on a daily basis. You have been a staple of the skype chats all summer, taken part in nearly every game we play and have been a tremendous locker room presense so far. Originally I had low expectations for you, you didn't seem all that active or interested so I think I had you notated as 2nd pairing potential but since then you have done nothing but make this league your bitch. I feel you were robbed of ROTY, if anyone had looked at your play in the final half it would be hard to ignore that on a team. I am honestly a bit upset you are even considering free agency cause I feel I would not enjoy the team nearly as much as I do now. I plan to play here a very very long time and I know people will come and go but I don't want anyone to leave this quickly and the team will lose more then just a great player, they'd lose a great teammate.
Demko - What could have been. You seemed so eager and driven and then you disappeared. That is crappy as I enjoyed you and thought you would work out tremendously well. You would have had the New England net all to yourself and could have had PB and Storm build around you and a strong core for years and years. Perhaps you will come back someday, heres to hoping. Hope it wasn't something bad that caused you to leave, so if you ever read this let me know.
Winchester Wooo, this is a little strange. I remember last September, finally convincing you to sign up and since then you have done at least training and activity checks and some other stuff. You don't post much in the LR and that is unfortunate as I think you would like it a lot if you paid more attention. Your player is starting to flesh out so you should start putting up some points soon. I am excited that you do plan to recreate when I do and that player name will go down as one of the greatest ever. Outside the league, you have been my best friend for the last nearly seven years and I can't thank you enough for how fucking awesome you are.
Oh and the whole "It isn't interesting because there isn't any drama" line was golden. Miscommunication said for you to not to go into any LRs that weren't your own since you accidentally got Minnesotas and I said you'd have to message Schultz to have it removed. You took this as you can't go anywhere beside the lockerroom, bank and update thread. When I was like "Why the fuck would we be fighting with each other, we like each other" I explained it to you after I imagine 15 straight seconds of silence and
I am glad you enoyed watching some of the shitstorms here but man, you should have been here in the old days when it was a nightly occurance between some peope.
:ph34r:
P.S I think we are out of milk, I will pick some up on the way home from work.
Wikstrom - WIKKKKKKIIIIIIII. Sup buddy, you have been a bit absent lately with getting school back in gear, moving and other shit going on in your life so I haven't got to speak with you much. I miss that, you are a great dude to talk to, a fun teammate to have because of your laid back nature. You are a small town kid too, though I originally thought otherwise so we both understand the nuances of small town life and how under appreciated complete darkness and quiet is compared to a city. I am super happy we got you locked in til Season 30. That is one thing I wanted was to lock you in and I am happy to say I got that done. You have been a true asset to the team and to the league and you are really under appreciated in that role.
Cheers buddy, lets win another cup.
Colt - Yinno, sometimes I make myself look really stupid with dumbass gaffs on simple things where I should proofread before I hit add reply and lo and behold, when compiling the list I put every active Wolfpack player... Well since I am here I guess I will talk about myself a little. I have done some dumbass things and have said some dumbass things in this leagues history. I am doing all I can to correct that.
Having a great team behind me, a league role with the PT Director Job and after this post a really sizable bank account, I look forward to the future.
Sherrill - You are an awesome dude and it is unfortunate the situation right now because I truly enjoyed having you around here. You were a great LR dude and I enjoyed the chatting on hunting quite a lot. I understand your stance and agree with it fully even though I wish you would come back full time. That issue is something that needs to be addressed and brought to the attention of the league, to prevent it happening again as it is quite disheartening when it does happen. I hope life is treating you well and you bag a trophy buck this fall. Cheers buddy.
Reid - You have been a bit less active because apparently a child takes precendence over talking to me.
You are a good man and one who I respect a lot. You are a man of few works but when you do speak people listen as you usually only speak if it is something important to say otherwise you are relatively quiet. You don't get wrapped up in the drama too much here, which is nice, we have me for that. I was super happy when you extended to Season 30 as I truly love having you in our LR and look forward to winning another cup together. Laxk - I missed you after you got drafted to SEattle, you were pretty great in the Prince George lockerroom and losing that presense kinda sucked. I was sad you didn't post much in there after but learned that you had some real life stuff that came first and I respect that. Trading for you was a shot in the dark and you coming back to sign an extension and allow us to get going along the road to glory alot more quickly meant a lot to me so thank you. I hope you come back full time and post more in the LR. Cheers.
Vyskoc - Arty!!!!!! People don't realize sometimes how invaluable people are in the LR and you are one the best. I love having you here and you are the most team first person on the site, playing any line and any amount of minutes and never getting egotistical about any of it. You seem to think that because you are slightly younger then average that you shouldn't join in our chats cause why would we be interested in what a younger person has to say. Well, we rightfully don't give a shit what age is, as long as you don't act like an asshat and you are one of the lovable dudes on the site. So yeah, get on that. Oh and I kinda want to kick your ass in Civ, so we should get on that too.
Tsizling - Ace, you drafted me here and I cannot thank you enough. You and fever broke ground for the team and put the cornerstones in place. Fever and I, then you and I managed to build upon on that putting tension between us at times because of disagreements on trades and I regret that a lot. Two different GMing philosophies clashing but the pieces were there and picked up, put in place and the puzzle finally completed. I imagine as you founded the team that it was as satisfying for you to get your first cup as it was for me. You are testing free agency this offseason and I truly don't know whether you are staying or leaving. It would nice to see you stay but if you were to leave, at the very least I will wave hi when I skate past the penalty box. best of luck if you do head out and better if you stick around. I respect the dedication to a defensive defensemen, the league doesn't have enough role players who aren't after large point totals and that is too bad. With givaways and takeaways missing it is hard to gauge effectiveness but if hits and blocked shots are it, Tsizling is one of the best.
Russell - You are the GOAT. I seriously can't get over the drive, work ethic and involvement you have taken with the site. The bank runs exceptionally smoothly under your care, unlike any I recall in league history. there have been some good bankers but you have this shit down to a science. As a GM, I don't think I'd trust any other to win me another cup as quickly as you and Storm will that's why I am staying. you two have managed to put together a lockerroom that isn't so much an LR but a community. We are very friendly with a few other teams, I think that is owing to you and Storm being friendly as can be and making great relations with everyone. I never knew that a LR enviroment could be something like this. The league recruited a gem with you, never leave. <3
Storm
Sturm?
Sturm!?
....
STURMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad to have you on my team and as a GM, you and PB go together like peas and carrots, milli and vanilla, bert and ernie (well, maybe not THAT one) but you get the point. Just prior to your trade to West Kendall, we had chatted quite a bit and you were very interested in getting a gaming group together within the LR which is why I was enraged to learn you were being traded. I am glad you made your way back. I remember you being miserable how bad you felt about retiring and Hamilton not knowing that. When you got back, you took charge and with others named above helped create a community for us to enjoy. I enjoy conversation as a gregarious person and Pack Chat has turned into a near nightly thing for me, drop in and chat for a few minutes or hours depending. Robodick. All in all buddy, I couldn't ask for a better teammate, CoGM and lockerroom buddy. Cheers man, to infinity and beyond!

12jmoritz - Wow, sorry I missed you. I don't know how because I know I see you around and that your avatar makes me laugh. I can't recall off the top of my head what your previous player was, sorry. I see Leier and he looks good so far, I see you were a rookie last season and likely got send down so you were listed under prospects or something. Anywho, I like your presence around here. You joined a long time ago and don't post a lot so that's why I know little about you. You've been a good active member though and I can't remember you ever causing any issues.
Goodleftundone - I feel I am saying this a lot, I do not know much about you. Then again I am not too familair with a lot of Toronto players sadly, they to me are the Eastern version of Los Angeles, where their members tend to be a bit quieter around the league for whatever reason. I like you alot too GoodLeftrUndone, sorry I don' t know why I put player name.
JNH - And again, someone I don't know too well at all though I have seen you around a little more then Benson. Post more outside the LR if you don't, I am sure you will find something else here that interests you. Lol, didn't know was you JNH. You are good people :D I think I fucked up cause I had player name and not member name.
MoFo - I was about to say I don't know you but then realized there is an miniscule possibility that I do. I recall an old forum I frequented had a member with the same username as yourself, even having the F capitalized. I have my serious doubts that you and that person are the same but since I got recruited from there, it isn't outside the realm of possibility.
Zaitsev - I asssociated your name for some reason with my chemistry teacher, I couldn't figure out why until I googled your username as I was certain it had something to do with chemistry. So since I don't know much about you besides your distaste for the drama this site has at times, I will let others reading now that Zaitsevs Rule is for predicting the favored alkene in an elimination reaction, however does have many exceptions. Best of luck to you, you seem like a more LR guy then forum guy, so I doubt we will chat much but wanted to say I had my eyes on you as a scout and I am happy to see you turned out well.
RaiN - Not too much has been said between us I don't think and that is unfortunate as I have seen you post a few times and thought you should do that more. Good luck in Toronto, bring them glory!
Dmoushey_31 - After TDW got the position and before I learned that Bottas was putting a team in Halifax, I inquired with TDW if he would be seeking a CoGM and at the time he said he had selected someone already that he felt was perfect for the job.
I am inclined to agree, you come off as a classy dude, well spoken and witty with a dedication to this league and your player that will trickle down to any players playing for you. Good luck buddy, hope you don't do extinct.
Mark H - I know littled about you besides you are Torontos hope and dreams for a Cup before Season 30, I think you could do it. Other than that, you apparently do not get along well at all with JHS. I did not know that and I was curious what you would say seeing you enter that thread.
Count Chocula - You are one of the most active, TPE earning and vocal Season 20 draftees and I feel I don't know anything about you. Your username makes me laugh everytime I read it due to a story my wife tells me occasionally about how when she went to her grandparents for the summer they let her and her sister get cereal their parents wouldn't get and they always got Count Chocula. You seem a good bloke, as it were, so I am glad you remained active.
Raymond3000 - My first GM, man how the league has changed in that time. You are still around, still one of the best sigmakers on the site and have created players who produce. We didn't talk much that first season and I was in the SHL the next. We haven't been on a team yet besides Canada and not much discussion goes on in there. Hope you are doing well, as I want you to know if you had not been such a nice GM to play for there is questions if I would have remained here.
micool132 - You Cool! I see you around but don't know you very well. I like that Toronto has players like you because I know what a cup drought is like and when you guys win, cause with players like you, the ones I have written about already and the ones below I see them finally putting it together sometime soon
Boomcheck - One of my favorite usernames on the site, just rolls off the tongue. Another i don't know too well but has been around awhile, just never ended up on a team together. You seem to be good people so I think I would enjoy being on a team with you, just don't see it happening soon. Good luck in bringing Toronto that glory.
Really - I have seen you around the league and know you have a job, I think it's Fantasy Manager, which is great that you sought work in the league. I appreciate when people take that inititive because without people like you, the site would cease to exist so from an older member to a newer, thank you.
Jogurtaa - We first met in West Kendall, I remember that in Season 19, the last season with my first player. I was really active in the LR but still posted in West Kendall, I remember it being mostly you, AGH and I as well as Syckez and Joey, occasionally Rami and Schmidt I believe started to post more around then as well. Funny I found out you are a girl only after the fact, anywho you made one of my favorite signatures. The pop art feel while staying true to the colors and having the text somehow look reflective is impressive, thanks again for it and good luck whereever you end up by the Season start if or if not Toronto.
Stryfe - From the start, I have imagined you as a moody yellow haired jagged elbowed Final Fantasy character, Cloud Strife. It's crazy how I can get a mental picture of someone from so little and unless I am ever told otherwise, that's what I continue to believe. I like your players name and like that they have done well. Wish you posted more around the league, feels like I haven't seen you at all or else we post in different areas.
PhilTheThrill81 - SCHENNNNNNNNNNNN, MY FELLOW SEASON 23 CUP FUCKING CHAMPION!!!! You didn't say a hell of a lot in the LR, but I still miss having you around cause when you did post I enjoyed it. I wish you nothing but the best with your next player and it looks like he will be a solid if not great player depending on where you take him. Good luck man, thanks for being there with me for that Cup win.
Snipealldaylong - I did this lists from the newest player to the oldest, you are old but holy crap, I forgot Scherbluk. Your player is great, a model of consistentcy and two way player and one of the best names in the SHL. Winning a Cup with a player like yours was special and playing with that many talented people just before retirement knocked a lot of names off my list at once. I hope you are enjoying Toronto. I miss your presense both in the LR as well as on the ice. Wolfpack Season 23 Penalty Kill was so lights out it wasn't funny. Good luck man, I see you retiring sometime soon and know that that player will be ridiculous as well.
LeafsFTW1967 - Old man Scherbluk, this season you break one of my records for longetivity, moving into your 17th season. That is a remarkably long career and one that has seen you and your brother with players that are worthy of envy. As I said above to Weber, I see you retiring sometime soon and if your next player is anything like this, it will be ridiculous. Good luck either way and win toronto that Cup already!

Slappydoodle - It has always been a belief of mine that people with a silly username are people with a good sense of humor and are likely an exjoyable person to have around. You reaffirmed that belief. As an older member, seeing members like yourself being brought in makes me happy as the league will continue to grow.
Harry - Please tell me why I get you and Byrde mixed up sometimes? I have no reason why and nothing to go on. Perhaps posting style or mannerisms but I have always had to check to see which of you two it is. BoJo is a good dude and great GM and players like yourself will thrive under him.
Ohtaay - Your name reminds me of the Little Rascals, where Buckwheat would do the whole OHHHHH TAY thing. If that is where you got it from that's awesome but if not, do tell? I see you around the league a lot but haven't spoken directly to you. Your team and mine have GM's who know each other and will likely lend to a rivalry and some bantering. I look forward to it.
Syckez - I don't care that you should technicaly be under the Wolfpack, but you know what? I started this list before you got drafted and Ill be damned if I am going back to redo everything. I regret things not working out in West Kendall for you, I spoke about the possibility of taking me higher and getting me to help breath some life into the team, you declined and I ended up with the Wolfpack.
I do not regret that as they have turned into my internet family (which now includes you) I know I mentioned it before but I will again and for anyone reading this, I want you to know that the Mock Draft would not have been up anytime soon if not for the efforts of this man and TNGO. I owe them not only that but more, them doing so freed up the first weekend with my wife AND sunny weather, allowing me to finally enjoy my city a little bit before it started raining after. I have really enjoyed you in the Skype chats lately but wish you'd drop in more.
Ricebowl22 - Lloren, man, I see you all the time, you take part in some of our chats and we have spoken here and there but I don't know hardly anything about you except you are shorter and asian and that is terrible to have as the only things about a person. You were near my hometown recently and it was unfortunate we could not meet up for a beer or something but next time I guess I will owe you two.
Bojo - You were in my draft class and were one of the top picks and have lived up to your expectations fully. No idea where they found you but you are far and away one of my favorite members on here, I love having you in chats and playing Rocket Ball. You are the most chill mofo ever and if I weren't on the Wolfpack, I'd want to be on the Platoon. You have amassed a good group and a good core and I look forward to seeing you build the team up from the lowly team it was only a few years ago.
AlwaysGettingHaxxed - The fact you have not left, earns my full respect. Any player who will stick with a team through the bad deserves every bit of the good that happens. In our brief convos in the LR, you always came across nicely and I would totally be up for playing together if my next player were to get drafted to West Kendall, though you likely will have retired a few times by then (its way off) Good luck in seeking that Cup!
Schmidt - Classy, reserved, I am not sure what to label you but you come across as incredibly level-headed, likable and extremely friendly. I am not sure what happened behind the scences with juniors and expansion, I heard some rumors that quite confused me (like being considered for Detroit despite not applying) and that the reason why it wasn't done was because I was not alumni.
Upon learning of these rumors, I messaged a commish to tell them if there is any truth to the rumors, that while I respect the Falcons, I truthfully do not wish to GM them.
I am and have always been a Firebird. Losing that LR would make the position extremely bittersweet and at this time, there are five other GM positions I would be interested in more.
None of which are currently available or would likely be available soon, but I wish to be able to apply if they ever came up. I suggested yourself in that message with all due respect to c who did a fine job as interim GM and seeing you get announced made me happy. They have their alumni and I love seeing a great member GMing juniors. Good luck next season bud!
Diamond_Ace - I kept getting you confused with regular Ace and now we have THE Ace as well, shit is about to get worse. if I recall correctly, you are in the VHL as well or somewhere else anyways as simply D_A, we have't interacted in awhile and I do not recall why we did last time. Trade maybe? I dunno, either way glad to see you are still around, you are a good dude.
Turd Ferguson - Unlikely to come back, but one of the original goons and entertaining as shit to have a writeup on during the PBP.
Birks - I dunno why people give you so much shit, I've always enjoyed you and found you funny. Some people here can tend to cling to something way too long s perhaps that is the case. Apparently you are Latvian, two things about that is that besides Canadians you guys are nuts about hockey the most and secondly, my first player played in the IIHF for Team Latvia, winning a (and I believe only) gold medal as a starting goaltender.
Green - Oh wow, I was looking forward to this. You are one of the classiest people on this site and I recall seeing you on here after being in a dynasty league with you, I think you might remember that one, we had Falkirk as well, a guy named Chuck (Chuck Weird) and Hanming, few others but long story short that league died and we kinda stopped talking at all. I hope West kendall is going well for you and your player is one I'd love to play with before he retires but sadly do not see that taking place at all. Willems is a shoe in for HoF, Maybe with my next player I will pass through somewhere you are but until then, good luck buddy and take care.
Jkrever - no idea what happened or why you are inactive. I wonder if you ever check in sometimes or maybe decided to create under a different username to enjoy the league but not create suspicion. Whatever reason you are not here, you are in West Kendall, not Toronto and still don't have a Cup. Ouch man, Ouch. I waited a long time and you've waited longer. I hope that the drought ends sometime soon, but knowing if your luck is like mine you will waiting a lot longer.
if not for you this place would not exist.

Western Conference
![[Image: 4jun10.png]](http://i62.tinypic.com/4jun10.png)
O4L - OFER! I admittingly know next to nothing about you, you were a junior commish if I remember correctly but other than that I don't think we had too much interaction with each other but none of it was negative. Have only heard good things about you.
DollarAndADream - Caught my eye early as a rookie and I had wanted to draft you but off to Calgary you went and I know next to nothing about you since we obviously do not have the opportunity to converse often. You seem like someone I would get along well with, so I hope you stick around for a long time.
cOOkies - For most, I have nothing to go on and like the two above you that includes you as well but I usually associate some mental image with each person and have always chuckled of the mental image of the Dragons GMs being a crazy Oilers guy who maybe tattooed his body orange and blue and then you standing there in a blue furry outfit eating a cookie and saying OM NOM NOM. Don't judge me.
Ferdy - What the hell, why do I have myself listed on the Dragons? Ah, god, I love how you just took that all in stride despite expressing early feelings that you'd rather have just left if that was the way this league is. I was fucking infuriated by the league and how little they did to rectify the situation for a new member as quickly as possible. I am glad we got through and you went on to become a productive and very active member.
You put in a hell of an application for PT assistant and you were one of the last three considered for a job, I wanted to hire you trust me and it was an extremely difficult decision not to. Tango and myself agreed on Allegiant pretty quickly, while hesitant to hire another teammate over you, Durdens resume included a background in creative writing and it pained me to have to say no, that drive you showed and preparedness in your application nearly made me give you the job from the start.
I want you to know if anyone steps down, for you to apply cause you would likely get the job this time around. Cheers man, hope we get to play together someday as I was upset we didn't get to draft you.
Caillean - I find your brand of humor hilarious, the video of "Why's Gorlab Butthurt" made me laugh so hard it hurt. I don't know too much about you sadly as you seem to be newer and keep to the LR a lot (I think) being my fantasy group manager has been cool though, thanks for signing up to lead the group :D
Coolstar87 - I miss you. You were great in our LR and I wish you could have retained access to both but unfortunately the league does not allow that and I have barely spoken to you since. You were inactive/semi active up until recently which I think is a good reason why we haven't. Hope all is well with you buddy, Wong should turn out well.
ThatDamnWalrus - I like I said hadn't a clue you were around/active too much since I had not seen you at all and then seeing you being picked as a junior GM confused the absolute hell out of me. Seeing the application and talking to you through PM's made it much more clear and your hiring of The Moush did yourself and your franchise wonders. Best of luck, but don't do better than Halifax ok?
jaladolar - There are a few players from Season 20 that I miss up and you and ArgarBarGar (maybe the Ar thing at the end) either way, I have liked you around here and am glad you stayed and continue to contribute. Your player name is great and I would love to see someone sign up as Bender or Fry.
TheBigSchnoz - You added me on Steam but we have not played a game together at all yet, which is unfortunate. Because of your name, I associate you with Triple H from the WWE, cause I have nothing else to go on. You are relatively new and we have not had the opportunity to interact but I have enjoyed you so far. Stick around.
Hattrick44 - You became active a month or two after we traded you so I never got to know you at all. You had a very solid player and did well despite not being the highest in TPE. Hope Calgary is treating you well. Good luck.
Rublic - Firebirds Head. Damn man, we can never seem to get it done can we? Then always with the crappy picks as well it seems that Prince George continously gets screwed every year and has to work harder. You are a great dude whom I have enjoyed chatting with in the last few seasons. I love the name Bronson Zerchai, no idea why, it just seems a hockey name. Good luck this year man, would love to see a Four Star Cup in Prince George again, it's been too long.
Steelhead77 - ESA! One of my current favorite players and the member behind isn't too shabby either, you are classy and one of the best members of the site. I hated you getting named CoGM because I was hoping at some point we'd get to play together. That won't happen now but I wish you nothing but the best as a player and a coGM.
Seventy-Four - You were semi active in Minny when i was CoGM, didn't get to talk to you too much but thought you'd be awesome if you were actually active. Not sure how active you are in the LR but haven't seen you around the league in ever.
Kikish18 - You are one of the older members but I don't recall seeing you post much around the site. Maybe you are quieter and there isn't an issue with that at all, just wish I saw more of you since you seem to have been around awhile and I don't much at all about you.
Gorlab - Now would you look at this jabroni. Look man, I know when your ban is up I will be eating crow, though chatting with you in PM's caused me to ask to be put back in. I am glad you didn't bump anyone for me though and ended up winning it. We are similar in that we both narrowly missed out on a franchise, trust me I was bitter, angry and such as well but knew no good would show if I said anything about it. Congratulate the winners and move on.
The part that I was angry about was the team being put in Halifax. There have been a few here who wanted one here for years and me being one of them. I wanted to found it and not having my name called I was fine with, cause "Ill just found it next time"
Ugh, we know how that worked out. Anyway, I hope upon your return that there isn't too much shit but I expect some and will grab an extra large bag of popcorn.
Oh and whats up with Jalopski, can you do better, cause shit don't make sense as is.
Stud - God, you are a such a troll but have a great memory of this sites history, have been an active member forever and while a troll it isn't a shitty troll. I like good trolls, ones who do it properly and get a laugh but don't push things too far. I know you mentioned a Commish job, yeah, Id support you. You get shit done and I don't think are too scared to stand up to anyone on this site.
I quite liked Belial, which if my Diablo serves me correct is the Lord of Lies? Potato Chip up next is kinda awesome, are you baked or fried? Also, I am going to refer to you now as Stud The Spud. Deal with it.
![[Image: 14tq6q9.png]](http://i61.tinypic.com/14tq6q9.png)
Pizzarony - A newer member I do not know much about yet, I don't know many people on Edmonton actually, so please do not feel offended. I have enjoyed you so far and hope you stick around, great new member.
Lunaro - Firebirds COGM!!! Dude, I am so jealous. Didn't know the position was open til after you got it and was upset about it for awhile. Glad you have done well for them, god we have such shitty luck with draft picks and positioning. Would love to see the Four Star back in Prince George and with the roster and you and Rubs at the helm, I see it really soon. You are a good dude who I am proud to call a fellow alumni, you do the Firebirds proud man.
Smirnov - Ah, I think you are the other Smirnov, the newer one. It's funny seeing your name being so similar to an older player. I mean right now we have Rich701 and Richest701 aka Young Guano God or whatever he changed his name to. We also have Diamond Ace, Ace and The Ace. Besides changing your name I know little about you. You seem like good people, so keep it up.
Jake_ilinnuc - I have always read your name out in my head as Jake AINEC (And it's not even close) weird eh? I am then curious where your last name comes from. I assume it is an internet username that you use as I don't think I have ever heard of it before. Another person who is quiet but good people.
kit - Anyone that holds true to a bet is a good dude and laid back imo. You losing to the Pack and taking the avatar and name change got my respect. You have been less active lately but seem to have come back as of late. One of the powerhouse members from Season 20, you somehow went a step above in that draft list which will go down as the best in league history just from the members we got and what it did to the site in activity. you were part of it, thank you.
Andybj - I assume your name is your initials cause otherwise, I have a dirty mind and whenever I grade one of your articles/see your name in bank transactions it kicks in. Someone who has been around here a little while and I know nothing about as I don't recall you posting much outside your LR. Like you though when you do.
Jedi - Hey, know little besides you had a birthday recently, hope it went well and you got what you wanted. And anyone who is a Star Wars fan can't be bad people right? May the Force be with you.
M-Dawg - MAH DAWG! I wish you were MAH DAWG, then I could refer to you as MAH DAWG and it not be completely fake. You are likely the best DAWG on here DAWG. You've been around for a bit but we have never spoken, we should change that DAWG!
JKane89 - Now that you have gone onto great things elsewhere, having moved on from Edmonton after we traded you, it looks like an ever more regrettable deal on our side of things. I remember the only issue was you didn't update as much as expected and had a hefty contract at the time with lots of up and coming rookies. I am sorry that happened, you were a player I had wished to keep but we had to move you. I am happy things worked out for you though and you went places.
Abdeezy - DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYY God, it's been so long since we shared an LR, Season 5 I think was the last time. You were one of my first friends on the site and I miss chatting with you dearly. You are a good dude despite a couple blunders here but have been an amazing member since and your journey through the SHL has been inspiring, I kinda want to do something similar. Some people may have an issue with copying what you did, but that's just like, their opinion.
Hope all is well with you brother, are you still with that soccor playing girl? Angela or something like that? Sorry it has been sooooo long man. Message me if you still have me on FB.
Teztify - Oh brotha, TEZTIFY! You are one of the more long tenured GMs here and I think you have returned the Edmonton Blizzard to respectabiltty after a few dark years where it didn't look good. You have a good core now and a strong LR by the looks of it, good luck next season, was weird seeing you guys finish last in the west after we did in the East one season removed from us both being in the Cup finals.
Kel - Know next to nothing about you except that you had the PBP for the cup winning game and seemed obviously upset at the result. It's understandable and disheartening to be the one on your team to know what happened before it is released publicly. I don't blame you for how you felt and hope to see you win your own Cup soon. Good luck and no hard feelings.
Josh* - The other Josh, funny how I didn't get along with either of you too well though recently in your advisor role we have spoken and when it isn't over something we disagree on you are very enjoyable to converse with. I would like to bury whatever hatchet there may be because I don't have any issue with you at all honestly.
Keenan - Someone who has been around forever and I somehow have not interacted with at all. That is unfortunate as I think you are a pretty good person and have not seen anything from you that could be considered negative. A good long time member.
Yousuf - I already spoke about your brother earlier. You two are the old men of the league, the greybeards and it was weird when you and Darian split up. It would like the Sedin brothers splitting up, it would be weird and foreign because it is not what we would be used to at all. You have a great player who has played a long time. I see a retirement sometime soon, likely at the same time as your brother and see two brothers being created again. If so, good luck.
![[Image: wstd88.png]](http://i57.tinypic.com/wstd88.png)
Joester - Joey! One of the old guard who just didn't know how to retire as well. I have shared several LRs with you now but don't think I ever really got to know you. I know you are into music and wrestling but other than that not too much. I hear Syckez give you great rep even if you weren't the most active or the biggest TPE whore, you were active in the LR and that is very undervalued in this league.
SnS - I kept for the longest time thinking your name was SMS, then when we were put in fantasy group together I noticed my mistake and felt like an idiot. You are a good dude from what I have seen so far. Stick around.
Uzi - One of my favorite avys on the site, I have liked you as a member from the start and wish we could have selected you but nope, off you went elsewhere and not really a chance to speak since. Too bad really, I would love to see more of that avatar.
Mstuk41 - Reading your name, it seems to be a play on words. Is it? Mistook For One? if so, that is very very clever. I like when people use wordplay and am a fan of puns. Anywho, I don't know much about you but like the rest of the Panthers, I like you.
Jormaruutu - As a PT team member, I noticed you were one of the few who did every point task, hats off completely to you. you are one of those members who are silent around the league cause I don't recall a post outside the LR anytime recent from you but steadily and quickly improve. You will be a star in this league and no one will see it coming.
Box Of Wine - I think you are from the VHL and I know it has many quality sigmakers, you among them. I don't know you all that well but from what I have seen you are outspoken on issues you feel need addressing and aren't afraid to take what comes with being outspoken.
The Mazais - Not entirely sure how your username is pronounced, I always assumed The Maze-E is how but I am likely wrong. I see you around the league alot and have enjoyed it though I know you and most of your teammates very little. Panthers are a team I would want to play for with my next player, would be sweet if you were still around.
Etipou - Now you, your name I have always thought was EatPoo and if that is offensive in any way I am sorry, I imagine many people on here have their names mispronounced at times and I expect that includes you. Another quieter member who is improving without much notice. Like Ruutu, you will have a good player and no one will see it coming.
Wasty - So, I have heard your name is Whas T not Waste E. That is infuriating as Fredrik Wastlund (Wasteland) is what I always thought it was. unless i am being trolled which is possible given who I was told by. Anywho, you are one of my favorite GM's and when Ace decided to let me fall to a later pick I held my breath until each name was called. I remember it going to the Panthers and thinking "Meh, I would be ok with that.
As I respect your you and your team"
So close this year, I felt awful for you guys. Having been to Game 7 of a finals and losing myself, I can say it is the most gutting fucking feeling in the world. Though discussions with others place the Panthers at the top of the contention list next season since very little changed. Another season like that from Weekes would almost guarentee a Cup. Best of luck to you guys, you deserve to raise it next year.
Vbottas - First, again I am sorry for my reaction to the Halifax franchise, we've chatted in private and the way you carried yourself and discussed it with me shows me you are a great choice for a GM and I hope for nothing but the best for you next season. You have created an incredibly good player who has been productive from the start. I remember when we were drafted there was a small issue about drafting or something but since then, I have nothing but enjoyed having you here. Make Halifax proud man! The absolute best of luck to you this coming season.
Soulja - What a trooper, another of your team who is quiet but will end up with a good player and a good year. Wish you would post outside the LR a bit more cause IIRC, I enjoyed when you do though it is rare.
Jackson - What a season, breaking records, setting the bar, Game 7 of the finals and it all comes crashing down in overtime. Fuck man, I feel for you. You have a great player and a great team and you will make it again and make it soon. I know little about you except the Manhattan goaltending thing and it looks like you turned out better so far, though James is nothing to sneeze at. It added a rivarly between East and West which we don't have enough of in my opinion. Good luck next season, I think the Cup is yours to lose this year.
STZ - Ugh, I am starting to hate saying this but I don't know you well at all. I have nothing bad to say at all, just I don't see you too much and don't have much of an opinion but I doubt you are the sole dickwad of an otherwise great team, so cheers to you.
Ragnar - OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THERE ONCE WAS HERO NAMED RAGNAR! Ha, how you doing buddy? Easily one of my favorite players and posters. A total class act. One of the pioneers of the bank and the reason it functions SOOOO much better then the old days. A great junior commish and one of my favorite avatars. Hell, you could join a thread and just post " <---" and it build hype. Glad to have a member like you around bud, good luck this season.
![[Image: rice3r.png]](http://i61.tinypic.com/rice3r.png)
JumpierPegasus - Hey! Hows it? You joined a long time ago and if i remember you were fairly young then. You always to me anyways acted like a mature individual so I never noticed and didn't believe it until I was told. You are at the helm of a brand new frachise and well done all around, colors, location and name. You have gotten a good group together very quickly and I would not be surprised to see you make the playoffs within the next season or two. I remember HFFO and you being friends but I never got to know you as he never stuck around a team for too long and it never caused you to join my team due to that. I have said I would wear the Admirals logo, just not with this player. I am open to all teams next player and Portland is one I am eyeing and hoping cause those colors are sexy.
Now as for you as a GM, I was originally a bit worried due to the logo not being up very quickly and seemed like you were slacking. I quickly learned that wasn't the case at all but I am not sure how many others knew. It doesn't seem to have impeded you at all thankfully.
I think you will do very well as a GM, you managed to secure Killington, Salmon, Thomaz and Semin very quickly, those players who are already ahead of the draftees should provide you with an excellent core to build upon as only one is regressing. You did well in this draft as well, so you should be able to properly build upon what you have already.
I look forward to facing you in the few games our teams will play this season, best of luck to you in those games (but not too much mind) and this season and beyond. I hope expansion turns out to be a good decision and the team you have in place gives me a strong feeling it will.
Buster Killington - The first player in Portland Admirals history? Well hate to kill your buzz but would that technically be JP's player since they own his prospect rights? Im just screwing with you. I had eyes on you early as a scout, you seemed to be a good fit and I thought things would work out really well. It is unfortunate what happened and I hope no grudge against you at all, only a disappoint due to enjoying your posts in the LR relating to the science field.
I wish you nothing but the best and regret not hiring you for the PT job, you had an impressive resume and your qualifications were fantastic. You and two others were incredibly hard to choose between and I wanted to ask to hire all three but unfortunately I was told prior I would not be able to hire four people (besides PT) and it would be stupid to ask again.
Good luck and weather the storm with your crew that will be the first few seasons. It will be rough seas, but calm seas never made a good sailor.
Trill - Oh shit, sorry bro. Some people I ended up missing, I mean I was bound to but I am unsure of how you slipped through the cracks. I remember writing yours though which is weird.
Anyway, once I heard the details under which you got traded I was a little pissed. You arriving excited me as you didn't seem keen on staying but after a week or two in our LR, you changed your mind rather quickly.
We would have loved to had you stay, you did much better for us on the third line and we improved significantly towards the end of the season due to it. You leaving in Free Agency is understandable if not a little disappointing. Best of luck buddy and stick around this time.

Checkmate - I really can't tell if you like me or hate me, sometimes it seems one way and sometimes the other. We haven't interacted much since the early days and I admittingly was a shithead then, still am but I like to believe I project myself as less of one even though I am not. There has been some craziness as of late with your RFA thing going on, it's rare here and I am curious what precedence that may set with offer sheets and draftees. I honestly can't recall where you ended up. I know it was for 7 million and think it was Buffalo but I am likely wrong.
Pupinsh - You have one of those usernames where I can never be sure what it is unless I ask, it could be Pup-Inch or PooPinch or for all I know, it could sound like Fufinch, I think it's the first once, anyway I digress. I see you here and there but can't say you and I have ever even said hi to each other. So hi, good luck this season and farewell
Hedgehog337 - Some may take offense to this but it feels like Seattle stole their goaltending from the Flyers of the NHL. No matter what, each goalie seems to falter in Seattle. Rose, despite having a great build and strong team was inconsistent for really no reason whatsoever. Laxk was supposed to be the golden boy but ended up becoming inactive due to real life, we were lucky as hell to be able to get him to return to activity and he really hasn't been back much since. I felt kinda bad afterwards however that's the name of the name, now Seattles future rests on your shoulders.
I had eyes on you as a replacement for Tennyson, GoB nabbed you and the rest is history. I think you will turn out to be one of the best goalies in this leagues history. Dunno why, just a feeling. Had the same about Sawyer and he turned out as the most clutch playoff goalie the leagues ever had.
Sam_bennet's_pullup_coach - i typed out your full name, that should make you happy, cause I normally wouldn't. never realized how iritating it can be having that many underscores in a name and that is hypocritical of me as my first MSN name had four.
You are a very active and likable new member, keep that up. Glad to have you here.
HFFO - Oh boy, at the time of this writing you were still on the Riot but for all I know, you have likely retired again
I remember trading a shitton to get Perhonen way back in the day and you ended up retiring him insanely early. Dunno why you won't commit to a player for a long period but this time you seem to be. Good luck in Seattle, if you do stick with it, GoB will make the most of it for you.
Was furious for a long time with you over what happened in Minnesota, but that's in the past now and I hope we can move on. P.S, I don't have your number anymore since that phone has been broken for ages, so you know what to do.
BruinsFanatic100 - Oh, one of you people. Ha, there are Bruins fans on this site whom are astounded how I don't vehemently hate the Bruins seeing as I am a Habs fan. I never had had a problem with the Bruins, an original six with good management, strong depth, a good system, beautiful jerseys and several of my favorite players (Rask, Chara, Berg) and a couple more ex-Bruins (Boychuk, fuck even I was mad about that) and Hamilton ( :( )
Fuck Lucic though, glad that bitch is gone. I have a special hatred for him, he was a take on all comers, edgy, power forward but turned into a douchey parody of himself. Glad he went Los Angeles though, I already despise them so I didn't have to start hating another team just because he plays for them.
Marchand? A first cousin of mine is married to his first cousin, guys as much a little bitch on the ice as off. I would watch a gif of his massive Triple H sized nose getting broken a few hundred times if it were to happen.
mpc - I hate people who have their user names like this, for the longest time I thought it was JK Rever, not JKrever. Then for the longest time I thought you were MPC Lardy, anyway, I see you in Detroit as CoGm and you and Schmidt should do very well. I didn't get to know you really well in juniors and still don't know too much about you but do enjoy having you here and hope you stick.
Leonidas - Between you and Lunaro, I want to cry. It's been five seasons and I still confuse you two at times. I think it's mostly because you are my updater and Lunaro is the CoGM of my junior team so I am usually talking to one or the other of you at some point during the week. I started to remember that you are my updater by remembering "My updater is the Mane" to remember Mane = Leonidas (Lion) it has worked well.
You have been a dedicated and amazing updater, I am not sure if anyone else has thanked you but they really should. Your adhereance to a schedule for updating is very nice and I apolgize for the mistakes I make in the thread at time. Usually after you update I make a new post and edit it over and over, I am incredibly indecisive when it comes to updates so I have a little work area at the bottom I use to plan and sometimes forget to erase it before you update. I try to be as neat and correct as possible to cut down on your work load as I know it is a tedious bitch when a few people have to be contacted.
Hats off to you and the league should pay you more for such a vital job.
GrimmsterJ - Dude...I feel terrible for my gaffs towards the end of the season. I take sole responsibility in the issues and believe me I hung my head pretty low. Thank you for the opportunity, I think you choose the right person for the job with me but I need someone to help keep me in check by offering an outside look at anything I want to do and any impacts I have not seen. As you may have seen, I hired TheNextGreatOne, whom I chat with nearly daily and has been a great teammate and friend, Allegiant who is a new member with strong qualifications and a creative mind and Durden whose background in real life is perfect for the job. I think the four of us will prevent any sort of issues happening again.
For you, you have been an astounding good member, the league benefits greatly from having people such as yourself here and now with you as CoGM in Seattle, that is being recognized fully. Good luck, CoGMing is fun and you are one of the best suited for the job.
ssdd911 - The ONLY person in either league to nail the Cup winning goal, impressive. I know little about you besides you are pretty active even if I don't see your posts all that much. I like your avatar though, which I think makes me want to see you post more. You should do that or at least tell me who that is. :ph34r:
Stevia - After watching Breaking Bad, I begun to wonder if this was a reference. I doubt it but there is a possibility. don't know a hell of a lot about you sadly but you seem like a pretty awesome person from what I can tell.
King - Duddy, my god it has been too long. You were one of my absolute favorites in the LR and I miss you terribly. I hope that life is treating you well though you seem to be a bit busier these days having stepped down as CoGM. I hope it's only a timing thing and nothing serious.
Oh and one more thing. :kings:
Gamingexpertzcom - What game are you expert of anyway? I know you were in the LR and active when I was there but I don't think I ever asked you that. Anyone who is a gamer I feel I could easily connect with. It is too bad I didn't talk to you much about it prior to my departure.
Gaia - I am actually struggling here, I think we spoke but I can't recall as it was nearly a year and a half ago. I wish I could recall if I did or not. My opinion of you has always been good, so if we did talk it was positive.
Duey - Easily the shittiest part of leaving Seattle was leaving a lockerroom with you in it. You have been able to make me laugh easier and more often then anyone on this site ever has. You have been/had been inactive for awhile and you returned recently if only for a moment because I thought I might be able to see you come to New England but you resigned and now it is an extremely slim chance we get to play together again, at least with our current players.
I miss you buddy, please come back full time.
P.S Batman > Spiderman
Patches - Someone I wish I had gotten to know better during my time in Seattle, you are a great dude and a great teammate. I have not heard much from you lately so I am not certain you are even active but if you are, you should post outside the LR more.
fever95 - In the NHL, we see players who modeled their games after a previous star. The inspiration for Colt came from three areas, Jeff Dar, Carter O'Callahan and Fulton Reed (Mighty Ducks) a player who is a great two way player, a fucking beast of a power forward and can't hit the net to save his life.
You were an amazing teammate, a great lockerroom presense and I was pretty sad to see you go but understand that you wanted to contend for a cup more and New England was not where to do it at the time. I hope all is going well for you in real life, it was nice to see you much happier once you got things sorted.
Remember, you ran with the Pack once, you are always a wolve. If you ever need to talk or anything buddy, you're always welcome.
Kylrad - What I know of you is that HFFO handed you at the time, the largest contract in league history. I was against that completely as I felt we should have built instead of spend but I wasn't Head GM there so the choice wasn't up to me. Then you posted twice in the LR all season, once after signing and again when we lost in the finals. That gave me a pretty low opinion of you. I feel that is unjustified though, as I do not know you outside that at all, but first impressions are everything and it wasn't a good one sadly. I don't hold a grudge, just wish you had actually been active in the LR having been given that kind of money.
Rehnx - I Cant believe you left when Cant was on our team, you were tearing it up with Wik, such chemistry I have not seen in a long time and I think it could have turned into something great but it was not meant to be. I really loved having you in the LR and would have you back in a heartbeat. Your girl thing was very interesting to follow, I am curious how it all played out, I hope good but from what you did say I have my doubts. :(
As I said to Fever, once a wolf, always a wolf.
RomanesEuntDomus - RomansEatDonuts cause they are Holy! I am sorry for joking about your name, it really is a great name because any Monty Python fan has to be a funny person. I enjoy your presence in this league greatly, you add a lot to this league and are a true asset. It's unlikely we will ever get to play together, but I want to say there is no other player I want to play with more. That may have something to do with your players age and the liklihood of you retiring sometime soon, but mostly I have had nothing but a positive experience with you so far and would love to chat about your home country as I hope to visit it someday.
Joecool37 - McKeil, if there was a fourth inspiration for Colt, it would be McKeil. Your player has been a staple in this league for ages, you are a very respected person and I don't think I have seen you say a bad thing about anyone on here, or hell, I dont think I have seen you post outside the LR in ages. It looks like McKeil may be in the twilight of his career at this age, I expect retirement is coming soon and that is sad, it's always weird seeing a league lose a staple much like the NHL lost Lidstrom and Brodeur recently. It's weird seeing the team without them on it. Best of luck bud, would be nice to see you put the cap on a great HOF career with one more Cup win.
![[Image: aysewp.png]](http://i58.tinypic.com/aysewp.png)
BigTittySmitty - You have been here forever and I think the most we ever spoke was because I applied for a junior franchise. That is crappy, you seem like a good dude who I think I would have enjoyed having as a teammate if we ever matched up.
EasyMoneySniper - One of the few people to abbreviate your name properly, EMS. Your article/interview series I liked, I had considered doing something like that instead of this but this I decided on because you did that. Have never had much of an issue with you and even then, standing up for teammates is not something I have real issue with. Glad to be getting along with you lately.
701 - When you were in Minnesota, if I could have reached through the screen and strangled you, I might have done so. I prefer to build back out and I wanted to lock you down from the start and work from there as a goalie can steal games and you had one of the best at the time.
That time I think caused the rift between us, as we did not get along well after. I suspect I may have stolen the CoGM position from you there when I came in and if I did, I am sorry, I wasn't aware of it. Anyway, I appreciate the hell out of the advice you gave me on sig making with the lighting, I have started to incorporate it in my signatures and it has made them look sooooo much better.
Also, you being a wrestling fan frustrates me, had I known prior I am sure things would have gone differently in Minny as I could chat endlessly on the topic. Good luck in Buffalo, you should excel there.
NateyD - I only have known you as GM of the Dragons even though you haven't been for a long time. To me you have always been D'Angelo and because I have not spoken to you in about 15 seasons, that is who you still are in my mind. Back then, I thought you were a bit of a dick but lately I don't, not sure what changed but it is nice. Good luck with Wolff.
Kinsler - I have a strong suspicion you are a former member of this site who came back under another name. I can't explain why but your posts give me a familiarity and I gave up looking at old member names a long time ago trying to figure out who you remind me of. Your player had an amazing season for a two way player, effective in all situations and if not for McDavid being in the way would have had a strong case for the Dar. With the exodus in Texas, that puts you at the forefront. You'll turn into a star now, good luck.
idot - Wow, I dnt no wut 2 say hair, I mean I cud say smethin mningfl but I dnt no u vry well bside that u tend 2 type lik dis wen u do post.
Wadester - I do not know you at all, you went inactive right around the time I came back but I know the reasons behind that and I offer my deepest condolences. I was truly sorry to hear that and hope you take the needed time to heal from it. The thought scares the hell out of me and I hope it won't happen anytime soon but I suspect it will in the next few years. I doubt you will ever read this but if a teammate would point it out upon your return I would appreciate it.
bbp - Daigle, my god how you originally lived up to your name sake. All those long seasons we spent together haha, If I recall correctly you are a Canadian dude and are a Habs fan as well, so youve got that going for you which is nice.
Deener - Never got to know you at all, but love what you do around and for the league. You seem like a driven guy and at the helm of a franchise that you said yourself needs a makeover, I have complete faith in you doing so. It has already begun, slowly but surely.
As a player, Horvat is taking off and looks to be a star for years, with the cast you have behind you and around you, I see success for the Renegades despite the exodus. You stockpiled draft picks insanely for the next two drafts and I see you guys being back in full contention around Season 28, maybe 29 if things go more poorly then you expect. Cashing in depreciating assets for future value, definitely your game and one you know well.
Good luck man, oh and your GM hiring should be a total Boon to your rebuild. Sorry, Ill show myself out.
Fourfour - Whew, um, well...Lately we have gotten along pretty well. You are heading to school for whatever it is you chose your life to take and I completely respect that decision and wish you the best of luck with it.
Gibbon - Have you retired yet? God, you are so old it isn't funny and it's astounding that I believe I was the one to draft you way back then. I do not recall if we were still in Vancouver or had moved on to Vegas at that point. I think Vegas, because we had you in that cage in the LR and had to get someone a rabies shot after they got too near. God that LR was hilarious. We converted your cage to a lobster tank for Dueys lobster after you departed. It took up half the locker room and the thing was only a few inches long. I think I ate it and locked Duey in there for a bit, details are hazy though. What happens in Vegas is usually a drug and alcohol fueled adventure, so remembering it is difficult. Retire damnit, so I know how long I have to play to take that record.
Oh and I beat your score in Mini Golf #2, come at me bro.
Velevra - I know you only from IIHF simming and that's about it. Not sure I spoke with you before that or much since. Sorry about that really, you seem like a good dude. I wish people took more interest in IIHF as your work goes really unappreciated and unnoticed. I had an idea about something that could improve the IIHF a bit or at least spark some activity.
Jme - Don't know you too well, anytime I have interacted has been pretty standoffish, so nowadays I tend to avoid to prevent unneeded drama. Don't have anything against you or anything as I truthfully don't know you at all. Your new player name is interesting to say the least and Valentine was a stud defensemen at times. Will be interesting to see how this turns out and would be funny as shit to see that name being announced for awards, good luck.
Shevy Shev - I have had five rookies ask me what your problem with me is, I don't have a clue, so that's what I tell them.
Anyway do you know of Aesop? He tasught life lessons in his fables. I like to think Thumper did much the same in Bambi with "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all"
![[Image: 24y1cu1.png]](http://i57.tinypic.com/24y1cu1.png)
Panda - I have mixed you up with another poster for the longest time now, I wonder why that is? Perhaps I should ask a pirate for an "R"...That was terrible but yeah, you and Pandar I keep mixing up and confusing. You are both people I like which is great, that way I don't say nice things about an arse and bad things about a nice person. Leafs is a great GM, you will do well there.
Mesbonk - The word bonk, reminds me of 60's batman, ZAP, BIFF, DOINK! IIRC your avatar is George Steele? I think that makes you a wrestling fan or at least knowledgable about it. Thats pretty awesome if so, my favorite is The Rock. Man could cut a promo like few before or since.
Rdwingsrdabest - Not often do people make typos in their usernames and leave it alone. I don't know how you managed to screw up Habs that much but you seem to have done so. Anywho, I see you around the league a bit and from what I can tell is that you will be a strong member for this league for many season. I am damn good with my gut feelings when it comes to rookies and I got that about you.
Leafs4ever - The classiest dude on the site. The longest tenured GM on the site and is so much a fan of the Leafs that he decided to found the Winnipeg Jets...wait...what? I have never asked why your name is that and you founded the Jets and I am not sure if I wnat to know now since I would then know the truth and I am not sure I could handle the truth.
Your players end up hall of famers, you are a quieter GM who I believe only speaks out if its worth speaking about. Thats a quality I admire because it is opposite of myself, I will talk about any and everything as evidenced by my post count here.
I have expressed desire to play in Winnipeg before, with my next player I would be quite happy if that were to happen. I'd like to make a journey around the league because if you have read some writeups there are people I know nothing about at all and I want to change that. Wouldn't mind starting in Winnipeg, which is kinda funny when you think about it as it could be 20-30 seasons off and you might still be GM...
OriginsZ -MYERS! YOU NEED A CUP! I feel bad buddy, you have been here a looooong time as well and have been unable to get it together with your teammates and hoist that bastard. Where you are now, you have probably one of the strongest chances in your tenure here. A good player, a great GM and finally an great ACTIVE supporting cast. I have not talked to you much at all lately, that makes me kinda sad now that I think about it.
Satan - OH EVIL ONE! Howdy! I pushed hard so you know to draft you but like most people I want to draft and think might slip a bit they don't, another GM scoops them up and they go on to be amazing members and players. Hmm, just realized that everyone I have wanted and was taken, was taken by GoB or L4E up until this season. Damn them both! Damn them all to your home!
Elyk - :( I still think we paid too high a price for Kovy because while the Cup is nice, I miss having you around. You were a great teammate in Prince George and I pushed hard to have you drafted as well because I knew you would end up the steal of that draft. Somehow you flew under everyones radar and dropped to the third round when you easily should have been a 1st (maybe second, was deep draft) and when we managed to pick you I was estatic.
Now you are in Winterpeg, having loads of success and I miss having you around. Post in Firebirds chat more damnit!
<3
BuddyCheque - I am sorry but I do not know you very well at all. I assume like the rest of your team you are a classly mofo and we will just leave it at that.
JackCross - The backbone of this league. Go ahead blush, deny, be embarassed, this place functions because of you. Your rigid schedule for simming, the consistentcy in which you do it and the minimal errors you make given an overwhelmingly massive fucking pile of work is astounding and to your credit as I assume a perfectionist? You seem to like making sure things are done correctly and I admire that greatly. You seem to like the limericks and stuff I post in the threads when we are waiting for you to sim. Just pops into my head and I put fingers to keyboard. I will try to make one a day this season if I remember.
And I got made fun of for it but yeah, I have an alarm set for sim time. Even in the offseason it is 3pm EST. I was a miserable self loathing fuck this time last year and I got through it by sleeping. Apparently some eat, some sleep, some look for something to get through. I slept a lot but always wanted to be awake at sim time. That small little thing is what caused me to look forward to the next day because looking at almost three months was just too disheartening to think about.
You make HOF players, Ono will be in for sure. So I will close with this.
From the bottom of my heart, for everything you have done, are doing and plan to do, thank you.
Jamers87 - BOTH! My god you are underrated. I had this discusssion with someone and on every team we choose someone who was the most underrated and that was you. You have a great player who is consistent but I don't see you make many posts so it largely goes a bit unnoticed. That is crappy, you should post more.
Skipper - Here on Gilligans ISLAAAAAAND. Ha, someone I don't know too well and wish I knew more. Don't see you much around the league and If I have, I do not recall off the top of my head what it was about. You like you Jamers should post more.
Prikulus - One of the best goalies in the league and one of the longest serving. I rarely ever hear from you as you seem rather quiet and into the LR more then the rest of the site. unfortunate as I am curious what you are like but have little to go on.
MCJesus - Second to Deezy, I think you have played for the most teams? I could have that wrong but now you are on Winnipeg. No idea how much longer you will play but I feel when you do I might get a decent shot at the Dar. McDavid went insane this season and you walked away with it. That'll change really soon I hope as I am after that trophy myself. Having modeled my player a bit after Dar, it would be only fitting to win the award named after him sometime in my career.
You seem like a decent dude, I haven't gotten to speak to you anywhere as I don't think we have every shared an LR. Also, your Oilers fanboyism is funny and a little over the top sometimes but you aren't as dick about it. Taylor McDavid from Jordan Hall is a bit much but hell man, you got the money to spend.
Good luck next season, Winnipeg should contend strongly with the offseason improvements.

Balrog - It is humorous that your name is a palindrome of another currently infamous poster, Gorlab who has confirmed before that it is Balrog backwards. So if you are the opposite, you will put up 60 points in your rookie season with 378 TPE. Sorry I don't know much about you otherwise.
Voyagaming - Caught my eye as a scout, you seem like a good dude but we didn't get to draft you as we were full at the position. Good luck.
Scudmakt - I like your name, you were on my draft sheet early and held steady throughout. Good luck in the SHL
Burkie94 - You know whats messed up? My friends last name is Burke and when you made Ross Burke, I was like
because thats his grandfathers name. If somehow you were a cousin of his or something that would be crazy but I doubt it. You were on my draft sheet but we didn't have the picks to take you after we got a few other people, sorry, you seemed like a good fit. Best of luck in the SHL. Eggy216 - EGGY!!! Holy shit, you may be the best player taken in this draft, you are a tremendous LR presense, a great teammate and funny as shit. A massive bank account, a great player already, shoe in for a HOF...Oh whats that? You've been an SHLer for only a week or so? Well, you got the makings of a star, the rest is in your hands. Cheers bro, I look forward to that second cup and winning it with you.
Derknas - You were also on my draft sheet, though a bit lower only because I didn't see you around a lot. Bit more activity and you will be a star. Good luck.
Carousel182 - Another rookie taht caught my eye but never got a chance to interact with very much, unfortunate but that's how things go sometimes. Good luck in the SHL.
Rfbeaudry - For the longest time I read your name as Rfbeauty, then someone in Pack chat pointed it out to me when we were discussing you. Nothing bad, I was saying I was sad we didn't nab you. Great member so far.
Wannabefinn - You wanna be done? Well you retired once already and I couldn't figure out why. You may have been a step behind but the current way the site runs is that it wouldn't have matter very much. You could have kept going but better you did it early then wait a bit before deciding. Good luck this time around.
LatvianBastard - AHAHA, I love the username. No idea why, I have a fondness for Latvians if only that they share the same crazed passion for hockey as Canadians tend to. That is something we easily could bond over despite the language barriers. Good hockey.
you will do well here. Ffiscus - Know you very little sadly, sorry about that. Post more and I'd have more to say next time I do something like this *pst, don't say anything but I likely will if I hit 50k*
Alex Mack - Another early retiree, very strange as you had plenty of time to correct what you wnated but it was your choice. I remember you started your media article Talking Smack with Mack or something which is what my article series was called when I was doing it weekly. I remember laughing at that. Well, good luck other Mack.

Bottas
Baelor Swift
Spoke about you both above, just wanted this to look pretty and show off the pretty banner.
![[Image: RXb9h5A.png]](http://i.imgur.com/RXb9h5A.png)
Ramicus - Hey man, you have had several players now and I truly hope you stick with this one. I think you will do well in Hamilton though I hadn't a clue you were traded until after the fact. I was a bit annoyed about that as I quite enjoyed your chats in the WKP locker room when I passed through, though you taking part in Pack Chats is pretty awesome though you have a strange time frame you are on in comparison to myself. You are up at like 4-5am my time and that's when I am heading to bed.
GreatoneHimself - I nearly missed your application because it is so close to someone I have PMs from. It was an excellent on and I think if you keep that up, you will not go unnoticed. Good luck.
Drodger91 - I haven't had a good chance to speak to you yet. Sadly it doesn't appear you have Skype and that's usually where I am. I think we will have to converse in the LR. Check that out more.
Baelor Swift - Your infatuation with Taylor Swift is funny and makes me a little sad at the same time. A good buddy on another forum loved her music and he passed away this year after a bout with cancer. Guy stared death in the face and laughed. He lived life to the last day and that is the way to do appreciate every one. So you haven't told me why you like Swift that much yet. So far, I have enjoyed you, had eyes on you early as a rook and more so when I heard you were from the SHL. Incredibly we got to draft you. I find you quite fun to have on the team as you say your mind. Something I noticed early on that you aren't afraid to dish shit out and it's fun to watch when you do. You have been an absolute pleasure so far and I hope you stay a good long while.
Grapejuice - You are everything I wanted in the LR, excellent move on my team grabbing you cause while you were on my radar, you went inactive a bit and dropped off. I learned why later and of course real life precedes this place but I am glad you stuck here. You have had a rough go of it lately bud but you couldn't find a better LR who will talk to you everyday and cheer you up no matter how shitty you feel. They did it for me and they will do it for you. The activity you bring to the LR is incredible, your game givaway was incredible and the pics hilarious, especially of me tripping on the fucking threadmill and knowing what a giant belt sander feels like. Lol.
You are a fellow Canadian, which I didn't know eh? Cheers man, I am happy to have you.
NJBadApple - Remember that sig you made me with Season 23 Champion on it BEFORE I won the Cup? Well you are my lucky charm it seems cause I got to wear that beautiful mofo. Seriously, amazing work. Normally don't care for brighter sigs but that, it was just the right amount. Liked ya so far, hope you stick around.
Jesster - The only player to be drafted first overall THREE times in his tenure here. I had wanted to play with you back in Season 5 but that's a bit difficult when you are both goalies. Ryan Jesster was my second favorite, behind Honcho who was the most elite goalie at the time. You were a razor thin line behind and well, my career didn't pan out at all. A four star cup, gold with Latvia as the starter and two finals appearances. You on the other hand have a trophy named after you and you know what? Despite all that you are the most chill and nice dude who never let it get to his head. GoB got a star and thankfully you stick around for occasional rocket ball games. I really enjoy having you in our chats but understand you may be around less now with another team you being on.
Pandar - Hey, there you are. The one with the R. I don't know which one of you joined first but I know your avatar off the top of my head is a goalie I think. You made me a great signature in that tourney and I quite liked it. I was hoping to showcase some rookie talent in there with a nice cash incentive and I got a bunch of nice signatures. That thread got quite a few views, win win for everyone. Wouldn't mind getting another from you someday.
Gifter of Bikes - Hey there, you are down here because you are not up there yet. I think you retired Rose far too early to be honest, I would have loved to see how that would have played out for you but Karlessons looks good so we hope he stays active. Felt bad about Laxk, shot in the dark on getting him active again (We got Sparks back the same way) so we got extremely lucky there. I don't know you didn't make the playoffs this season, your team is stacked. Also I heard you had some real life stuff going on, whatever it is, I wish you nothing but the best. I harbour no hard feelings and if there is one thing I wish to do at some point in this leagues history it is hoist a cup with Seattle. I feel that will make things go full circle. Also, I feel bad I have been missing your podcast, I used to listen to it on the way to work in the mornings to keep myself awake. Thats right, you were my morning DJ! No hard feelings with you over anything.
Storm - NOT YET BABY, YOURS WILL BE IN THE WOLFPACK ONE.
Belgarat - It's Belgarat! The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So first things first, the Nature Boy is hands down one of the greatest of all time. Love watching that man. Evolution was one of my favorite stables and wrestling is something I and alot of my friends bonded over. Was just fun to watch. My suspension of disbelief was kinda shattered though. One of my favorite wrestlers, Chris Benoit, well..You know how that went. Haven't watched since but will always chat with whoever about it.
Now to you, you are a pretty cool dude and when you went to Texas, I was a bit sad as there are rookies I want to get and I was worried how that would pan out for you. I am glad you like it, Deener and Boon are two quality GM's, you are in a situation to succeed. Good luck.

Mexico.27 - You came back and then left again, I am not sure why but you had one of the best players in this leagues history and you could very well make another if you stuck around. Someone should try to get him back.
Ghostspeed - John Wick, I dunno why but that seems like such a Scarecrows name. I had you as my steal but it didn't work out that way and elsewhere you went. Good luck, sorry I didn't get to know you well yet.
TML99 - Oh shit, I just remembered that sorry. Sorry, I was bit busy with this. I am sure you will understand and I will definitely write for the next one.
Rhoegeos - Had you on my radar as well, it's been great chatting with you so far and you are playing for my hometown, I want to see a Four Star Cup there soon. Make it so, please.
Winter is Coming - You managed something few on this site have ever gotten from me as a scout. A 10 ranking for scouting, that is right I had you listed as generational talent. It's pretty rare but your activity level, bank, TPE total and post count along with your involvement in the league early on, that got my notice. We spoke a bit in private but truthfully you seemed interested in somewhere else so we went with someone we know wanted to stay a bit.
You will set records in this league I think. ROTY is yours to lose.
Fisher - An old guard, how's shit been? I didn't get to know you well back then and don't know you well now. I am curious if we will ever cross paths but if we do, I look forward to it.
Allegiant - My new PT team buddy, great application and great ideas so far. I was certain I wanted to hire you and having my Co name you first as well reassured me. I don't know why, gut feeling I guess. I don't know much about you yet and hope you stay long enough in the job for me to get to.
Really - Hmm, I don't know to much about you either sorry. I believe you are a recreate. Sorry I don't know you better. I don't think we have interacted too much so far.
R+- Dambach, I owe you that sig still so remember to ask for that when you want it. You I liked due to the loudmouth in your junior year. It was entertaining seeing such loudness from a rookie cause its a bit more rare then in the SHL. I fear I didn't interact much when you were in juniors and that is my regret as I haven't after either. Welcome to the SHL.
Damienj10 - Speaking of loud rookies, you were another if I remember correctly and at the time improved your draft stock for myself. I fear I didn't get to know you as well.Good luck in the SHL though.
P_9ers - Another whom I am not entirely sure I know as well. I see you around because I love your avatar. And I know I enjoy reading your posts so nothing but good feelings about you.
Carl - Ha, wow, I had forfotten you were in juniors. Well, we never got along for quite a while but recently we have and I have enjoyed it. I listed to your music and as I said there, you have talent just need to practice more cause it is already pretty damn good. No hard feelings man
Jasmine - We didn't talk much when you were in NE, so I only really know you as Cuffys girl. That is unfortunate really as you seem cool and should be known as more then that to anyone. I saw you taken in the expansion draft and hope you do well.
Stonepillar - Another rookie I don't know very well and I am beginning to believe that is because we do not have many alumni from your team so I never hear too often about players on your team. hope that changes soon as I think we are missing out on what some people are like and good draft picks that would fit in well. I had you on my radar and I hate how I stop watching some rookies after they get drafted if no one on my team knows them either. I should change that.
Pentecost - Oh what could have been. You had this site by the nuts and were about to become a star and then you just disappeared. I have no idea why sadly, hope nothing dire. I had you rather high on my draft lists cause of your activity, build and bank but I had a red asterik next to your name and it frustates me. Lost opportunity. I think players like yours and how much involvement you had needs to be retained better. Hope you come back, good luck if you do.
![[Image: do3195.png]](http://i61.tinypic.com/do3195.png)
TDW - I spoke about you above, just wanted to keep things looking nice. I am excited about a Colorado team although like I said before Mastodons sound more badass (Old school power ranger fan in the house)
Dmoushey31 - Something about you, no idea what but you seem like the type to draw people to a franchise. That's why TDW made an excellent choice.
Jason97 - Don't you WTF me man, I see you so infrequently I wasn't certain you were active. Plus I think you were listed under prospects for your SHL team so that is why I may have missed you as well. Gooseneck is a legend, one of the names I remember themost from the early days along with Littleton, Stevens, Mexico, Dar, etc. I remember I liked you back then and since you have posted little to my notice that hasn't changed. Post more though.
P.S - Fight me.
![[Image: 2wcqpp3.png]](http://i62.tinypic.com/2wcqpp3.png)
Cynthia - That signature annoys the hell out of, I still am not happy with how it looks because I am not skilled in cage masks as they are rather rare. I plan to make you another, so how about this. Search google images for any render over 800x600 with a female in it and I will make a signature for you. You have been great in Firebirds chat and have been fun to talk to. Your hibby is awesome, I doubt he would not have paired with someone equally as awesome. Good luck in the SHL.
mpna4 - Speaking of signatures, you got one from when I was still rusty and trying something a bit different. I would like to make you another one as well. I wished to draft you but you were taken by the time the pick we had open came up. Stay active buddy, I think you will succeed here.
spidey - I was a bit sad we were unable to get you but happy seeing you go to where you did. You have been around as long as I have, pretty sure we joined the league around the same time and despite us never playing together I have been fond of you. You come across as one of the classiest people on here and I enjoy having you around.
iiDjstanley - Shit son, your draft stock went insane. I had you pegged as a 7B when you joined up because of lateness and by seasons end you were up to an 8. I almost gave you a 9 but I think that was just bad timing on your part. You will likely turn out to be one of the steals of this draft and have everything you need to make it happen.
Schabouy - Damn, you went inactive. I had high hopes for you, like Clayton you caught my eye early but then just sort of disappeared. That sucks cause I thought you would turn out well. :(
Nereus - My man, I don't know if Littleton is trying to get me to go to Winnipeg without actually saying so but getting you AND Elyk would be the way to do it. I literally swore about five or six times when he took you as I was hoping against hope you would slip to 2nd but no, talent was recognized now you will excel elsewhere. I had seriously hoped to get you into our fold, love your player and the build you have. You have been a top end dude in the Firebirds LR and I hope you remain active in there. Cheers man, glad you are here.
ThongBonerStorm - My god, what a name. I told our GM I wanted you drafted just on the name alone and we were going to but you were nabbed a handful of picksd prior to that and off you go to make your legend in this league. I think you would pair well with JME's player. Good luck.
Beansobie - KUDDLES! Damn man, I wanted to draft the entire Firebirds LR and was upset we didn't get any of you and not getting you or Flemming made me sad as you two I talked to the most in here I think, sorry if I am wrong there. You will excel in this league with your current activity level and under Deener, that will be sooner rather then later. Remember to check in the Firebirds LR every so often no matter what.
P.S - That is the best sig I have ever made IMO, god I love how the banners make it look even better.
SparkyOG - Alright, check it.
Out of the blue, to the black and green. Lightning bolt striking, lean and mean. Energy, synergy, pass to me, eulogy. Quick as lightning, with the spark, slow horse is dark.
Long odds to beat, damn big feat, dangle and deceit, lightning strikes, defeat. Sparks a straight shooter, goalies won't have a clue, doubt a mofo, Sparks will fork you.
I fucking suck at rapping but I tried, sorry I didn't get to know you before you left but you should do well where you are now with lots of opportunity on a less deep team. You'll make it if you work hard. Good luck, OG!
KessMeSilly - Kess you? Cant tell if this a Kessel joke or not, but if it is then :D I don't know you too well and don't recall seeing you post much in the Firebirds LR. If i recall correctly, you are HFFOs girl? If so, that's pretty awesome.
Donini13 - We traded for you out of LA in one of the most infuriating trades I have ever been on the other end of. I was adamant against trading Boyka and low and behold go look at the leaderboards. In hindsight, I think we ended up moving you for the pick that got us Buckley, so not all was lost. You didn't post in the LR at all, which kinda sucked because I haven't any idea what to say about you otherwise. Good luck with your next player.
Patriot21 - I don't recall seeing a lot from you as well, that's too bad as I think you went inactive but I could have this completely wrong. Maybe post more, I don't notice you around much :(
PrinceKyle - You used to post in the Birds LR alot then kinda stopped. Assume you post in Manhattan more nowadays, which while I respect fully I miss the drive and determined attitude you brought. That radiated outward and it is refreshing to finally have a good solid reliable goalie in net.
Good luck in Manhattan, you'll be seeing a lot of me when you take over in net ![[Image: 25jl5i9.png]](http://i61.tinypic.com/25jl5i9.png)
Rich701 - Your name doesn't work anymore, since you are Poor701 and would need to spend money to get money to take your place again as Rich701. Maybe adequatelyfinanced701? When you signed up, I thought it may have been 701 himself. I am doing to take a wild stab you live in North Dakota as well which is kinda funny.
Corco - Someone else who has been around awhile and never really interacted with much, always had a good opinion of you but I am not sure if you are less active nor or just more active in juniors. If the former, that's no good if the latter, then hope to see you more soon.
Alucard - One of the few who caught my early and remained on my radar all season. You come across really well on here and I enjoy your posts but haven't seen much from you lately, change that would you?
Karlssens - Didn't I already speak about you? Are there two Karlssens with simular names? I am going to guess so since this is your username and Hedgehog would be the other. Funny considering one of your teammates, Rich701, has something similar going on. Oh god, it's the clone wars! All jokes aside, I haven't seen much from you or confused you with the other karlssons. If I did, I am sorry. Good luck in the SHL.
Deknegt - You were a recreate and I had no idea until about midway through the draft. I hadn't recalled yo doing media but you had money in your bank and it was over in the SHL section. I had you pegged as a 1st/2nd rounder and you dropped by a large amount. Found that pretty strange as you were a pretty good player.
Enigmatic - Did you change your name? I have a feeling it was different before. I can't recall because I am having difficult remembering you otherwise. Sorry, just looking at your name I draw a blank. Which is terrible ironic given what it is...
Munk - My absolute favorite player from the early days, who I was inspired by to make Colt and whom the trophy I seek is named after. Jeff Dar was a two way god, I recall making you a terrible sig back in the day, black, gray, red and with Iginla I think? That seems ages ago now. Miss ya buddy.
Ballerstorm - Yinno, I think it's time to call you out like Kuddles did with Baelor. Randy Randalman and not a damn one of your Archer avatars has him with a mustache! Keep this farce up and you could be hitting into a dangerous area :ph34r:
Anywho, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with in the PT Forum, your dedication and creativity are remarkable and working alongside you I am confident that this seasons PT team will hit the nail on the head.
Richard D'amour - All I can remember is something something drama, Whalers? I dunno, I heard something about it and never really looked into afterwards. So I have no real opinion of you besides that bit and I don't count it as negative because I wasn't there and still have no idea what went down.
BÃœN - Yinno, getting that message from you the other day was pretty nice. Glad we are getting along lately, you were in Minny and I regret not getting along with you better because you seem like a funny as shit dude who I would get along with under different circumstances. You and Deener will make an excellent team and return Renegades back to glory with a fresh feel. Also, I hate you guys for those colors, they look so amazing for signatures. :(
Good luck with your new player and your GM position.
P.S, I wonder how many people think your name is Bun. I'll be a saint and not say a word.
HippyHappy - hey there, been meaning to message you but keep forgetting. You seem to be a bit less grim these days and that is good to see, kinda scared me reading your media thing bud as it was probably the most dark thing I ever read on here. Good to see taht you are doing better and I wish you nothing but the best.
Greebsie - Hey there, I don't think we ever actually spoke however I was in a dynasty league with your hubby and if five years ago you heard him swear about someone named hanming being a tightass, that would the league. You have a fantastically named player, Dr. Whooves, god the MLP thing is funny. If I recall correctly, you are having/had a child soon. Good luck and health to everyone and good luck with Whooves, looks like a dark horse for rookie of the year. Oh and I imagine you two sitting outside on laptops in a field of tulips when you post. It's funny how you make mental pictures with nothing to go on.
Chewbacca - Rrrrrrr-ghghghghgh! Rrrrrrr-ghghghghgh! Rrrrrrr-ghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghgh!
![[Image: xgjwqs.png]](http://i57.tinypic.com/xgjwqs.png)
Syckez - Oh wow, currently I am at 19,712 words which means more then likely I will type the 20k one in your write up. My fingers hurt and I will glad when this is over. Dude, what you and Tango did for me I appreciate the hell out of and I will bring up several times. That mock draft was your work and it is regrettable I did not get to hire you.
You are a good dude from chatting in the skype calls with you and carry yourself well. I hope you stick with it this time around, Marshall could have been so much more and I think with more work you could have set better records. I like your last players name, so retiring him made me sad. This time around, you are a little behind but have the opportunity to succeed if you train. You will do well if you do so cause you know PB and Storm are great GMs and will win you a Cup if you put in the work. Glad to have you buddy! :D
Brayne - Someone I don't know too well, I think most of the Whalers I do not know well cause our alumni is Reid and Vyskoc, one has a kid and time is scarce and the other doesn't really say much about you guys. I should get on him about that, I wouldn't mind some more intell for my draft sheets in the future. Speaking of that you were on mine but things didn't fall into place. Keep with it and good luck.
Durden - Durden, you have been fantastic in the LR so far and I believe that New England just redid the Season 20 draft in terms of acquistitions. That draft augmented a strong core already in place and built upon it. That augmenting became the new core and now you guys are the augments. We will go as far as you want to take us. The team could not be named more appropriately, it is a Pack, we are only as strong as the weakest member and we aim to make everyone a fearsome predator. I hope you stick around cause not only are you a great teammate you have been a pleasure to work with in the PT forum as well.
PieEatingManiac - I found you funny and a little odd at times. You seemed to really want to play for us, were insanely active then you up and disappeared. Kinda crappy really as I think we lost an active member. If you return you should know we did draft you, but used the last pick on you. Look in the NHL all the players taken last and how many have turned out stars. A disproportionate amount. Maybe it's incentive to prove the doubters wrong, that's up to you so good luck if you come back.
Allen - Wow, watched your draft stock rise not only in my notes, but my teams and apparently the rest of the league. Exploded onto the scene, made a name for yourself and got drafted. I would love to see that from every draftee and recruit. I hope you stick around cause having members like yourself makes this place so much better.
Drummerbrian - One more who did the same, you came onto the scence and never looked back, making a strong name for yourself however I didn't get much scouting done on the whalers so I don't have too much on you besides I thought you would be a great pick. Good luck buddy.
Hoovuh - You suck bro. HA! Well, I had no clue what you were like but heard so many good things from so many people I think I have you listed as gregariou on my draft notes. You like me seem to enjoy company and conversation and I am certain you could not have found a better place. I think I have chatted with the pack in skype 3-4 times a week minimum since it became a thing. It has bcome a great medium for conversation and conmmunication and allows for huge calls and tracks the messages since the start. Some gems back there, you should read if you are bored. Cheers man, could not ask for more in a teammate.
Falkirk -Howdy there, I didn't know you were active because I didn't see you post around the forums, then I messaged you like two days before the draft and bam. Would have loved to have you here. I remember you from that fantasy league and I love a good fantasy hockey mind. I hope you stick around this time. Best of luck bud, will be cool watching your progression.
James_M - Chiclets, I miss ya man, you were a fucking GOAT in Vegas and Seattle. You tore up in your later years and were one star that season on our team. I wish you'd come back, the league needs good former members and you were one of the best.
Kevin "The Juice" Bieksa - Yinno, I always write your name out fully cause you are THE JUICE and that needs to be recognized fully. You have made a great name for yourself so far and I hope you stay active a good long time. Best of luck in the SHL.
CRAWFORD33 - We drafted you and you were inactive, then out of no where there you are a nice depth player who can improve at his own pace though you are a step back, if you keep with it you will get a roster spot easily. Post more in the Pack LR, would love to get to know you better.
Dion - Man, that Thunderdome thread was so out of the blue. Despite us sharing a LR, I didn't get to know you too well as you didn't post a hell of a lot. You seemed bored with Kovy and I love how you coming back to the team you were formerly on helped us win the Cup, I don't think we could have done it without you. You wore the "A" after I took it off for you to wear for your final season. Man was I glad to see you hoist that Cup. I love stories like that, a returning player helps his former team to glory. Best of luck buddy.
Chris McZehrl - McZ!!! Man, what a guy. You were here and having your player helped with us the cup. Our PK was insane and our PP was very potent. McZ was a shoe in for HOF so congratulations on that. I like you man, you are a good dude but sometimes your ego gets a bit much. In the words of a great philospher, Ilya Bryzgaloc "Is only game"
Good luck with VLAD, will be cool to see if he can surpass McZs records.
NoNerves - A goalie, I love goalies in this league and think a lot of lost opportunity is present cause they tend to go inactive from lack of play time and positions as most goalies here tend to have lengthy careers and it looks now like the proper course is to to play in juniors for a few seasons and that's great because a goalie can win games alone in juniors and having a good one is excellent. This league is becoming two tiered and watching goalies develop for a few seasons will be fun. I don't know you very well I am sorry but I have a good opinion of you, so please keep with it. You will make it.
Joker5123 - Lundqvist with a great team first contract. What a nice deal for both sides. A reasonably sized amount of money for a lengthy term allows the GM to plan and build around you for that long. Unlikely to be drafted since our GM is a goalie, I yet again miss out on sharing a LR with you and that contract makes it even more unlikely. Maybe next time if I do the Deezy traveling thing a bit I might get to play with you. If you are still there though I would be astounded.
Uptuck - I regrettably do not know you very well either but do not have any negative feelings, just don't think I have seen you around very much. You should change that if possible. Good luck in the SHL.
Truck - And you are last on the list, I do not recall if you are active or if I saw a post from you in awhile I just want to say our usernames combined would hit like a ...wait for it.... Good luck if you ready this and if you are active, post more! :D

Ya Mac, I didn't really stay in one place when I was in Nova Scotia I was all over the place! If you're ever down by my town I'd definitely chill! Or if I go back to NS, which might happen some time down the road.
