For the Hockey Fans…

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.

Since the forums have been basically dead for the past month, I will post about something I have been researching a bit.

So… anybody hear into Mobile Suit GUNDAM?  If so, any advice you want to share with a person just venturing into the franchise.

I should qualify that slightly by saying that I have done a pretty significant amount of research about the different series already and am somewhat familiar. Secondly, as with most Americans I was first introduced to Gundam Wing back in the days it came on Cartoon Network. I was about 10 years old at the time and could only watch at my grandparent’s house, so I watched infrequently and understood little besides giant mech suits with pilots and big guns. I am encouraged to know that Gundam in general is rarely so simple and that it offers both entertainment and thoughtful writing… (generally).

I am most inclined to get back into Gundam Wing as a starting point and branch out from there. I was excited to find this in my searches (http://www.rightstuf.com/site/main/news/individual/FT0000007457.html). Supposedly, this means a releasing of much, if not all, the Gundam animated material over time. I sincerely hope this means remastering, dubbing and repackaging as I have gathered that the American audience in particular has been repeatedly screwed over or shut out by Bandai. I am tempted to wait until stuff starts coming out on Blu-Ray.

That said, please elaborate if you are a fan.

YEA, It wont be long now

Yeah, thats it

I don’t want to have national office. I want to remain in federal service.  Perhaps be the first female governor of Illinois then shoot for President of the United States. (though, Veep has WAY more power!)

Most hockey fans are aligned with the owners and less pissed about the season being canceled than they are about the players holding up the negociating process.

But the season’s not over. Read my blog for updates: njdevs.blogspot.com
