Hockey is back

This is my fifth year to run a 12-team, semi-keeper league. We’re looking for new owner/GMs for three teams. Here’s what you’ll want to know:

Starting lineups are: 3 LW - 3 C - 3 RW - 4 D - 2 G. Bench is 4 players of any denomination. You may keep a maximum of 4 F, 2 D and 1 G. It’s a head-to-head league. Top 3 in each 6-team division make the playoffs. Dues are $25USD. Payout is: 1st - $175  2nd - $100  3rd - $25 Players on the available teams include: Matthews, Tavares, Eichel, Laine, Marchand, P.Kane, Panarin, Hellebuyck, Price, Dubnyk and many more. Online draft is set for 8:00pm Central on 2 October. Keepers must be set by 1 October.

Let me know here if you’re interested. Teams will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

Although…. I once saw once a British fighter that got stranded on Madagascar because ALL of Africa and the middle east had been taken over by the axis, and their nearest carrier was in hudson’s bay if i recall correctly.

LOL the cliffside commando’s lol…

This generation of players -led by Crosby- will certainly go down in Canadian lore. That second Cup and most recent international gold vaults him into rarefied hockey air.

@Jennifer:

Why were you stuck in the Army’s camp for misguided little boys so long, NCSC?

Well, originally I was there for Infantry Training for the PA National Guard (11C, my local guard unit was Combat Support, to had to learn to fire 4-deuces).  But, my knees that had been patched  back together after I tore them up at USAFA failed again…

But, rather than let a perfectly good former Academy puke go to waste, and since they were shorthanded in my Bat, they turned me into a Unit Supply NCO and Unit Armorer.  Went from Trainee to Trainer overnight.  Went from Barracks to BEQ.  And spent a year wearing a “Follow Me” patch instead of my “Bloddy Bucket” until my med board finally was processed.

Yep… it SUCKED!  But I loved it :-D

Ugh, yea the med-board process SUCKS for trainees!  They tried to make me go that route, I told em unless they could guarentee me a 30% or more disability they could shove it up their rosey red buttocks!  Then they tried to Chapter 5-1-2 me (medboard without a voluntary subject) and I called my congresswoman (who, since I’m in IL is a democrat) and she stopped that cold.

Now I’m assigned to the IL Nat’l Guard as in their IT dept.  But hey, at least I don’t have to move!

As for my AC being “broken” in Georgia, it was not Rune.  There just wasn’t an AC there!  Silly army…like we all want to camp or something…sheesh!

I should have known better then to actually believe the first story.  Stupid me.

Another example of the media printing a story without actually checking the facts.

They are so intent on “getting people” and trying to be the first to break a story that they completely ignore research and whether the story is even true.  Idiots.

Well, we can. It’s just that I have an incredible amount of assignments and reports I have to make up on the computer (I’m a terrible speller – so sue me). I haven’t been able to read a lot of TM’s post, so is their anything in particular you would like her to respond to?
