I'll go ahead and throw some in the pot before the call to arms.

- I drafted the Big Slappy fantasy team, accompanied by Chester Cunningham, Jorma Ruutu, Danny Foster, and Robert Andersson. Did I get enough hits? I feel like I left some hits on the table. o:-)

- It seems like any time I ask questions in advance like this, they get "jinxed" before you record (i.e.: The whole Russia-Czechoslovakia thing before the IIHF semifinals). So, since the regular season hasn't started yet ... MAN! WEST KENDALL LOOKS AWESOME! TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT Y'ALL ARE SO FAR SLAPPY! I SURE HOPE WINNIPEG CAN TURN IT AROUND, EH, BONK?

(Here's hoping)

- If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
