  3. 5.9 - Pittsburgh - Ulf Sammuelsson picks are getting tougher for sure!

  5. 3.18 AJ picks D Glen Wesley

  7. they all look tough. although wboy division takes the cake in my opinion
  8. 2.16 Pittsburgh - Geoff Courtnall
  9. Would the smaller Canadian markets be able to sustain a team? Doesn't Edmonton struggle with that? I like the idea though... Florida and Tampa Bay don't need hockey. But Dallas and LA do pretty well with their fanbase - so I'd be hesistant to get rid of them.
  10. 1.9 - Pittsburgh - Mike Gartner
  11. I could care less .... but I am wondering if most of the managers have experience with the classic players, not the weight bug fixed ones. That might make drafting a little unbalanced if we go with the weight bug fixed.
  12. If you need someone, I think I would like to join waiting for GDL is a bit too much at this point. AIM: sonoffett87 (old AIM still works, but I'm invisible to users I don't have on my buddy list)
  13. That's because you are stealing Rodney Dangerfield's entire act
  14. If 7 games takes 1 hour... keep it 7. AJ set a deadline, and it will stand. I also think that we should back off of AJ; he makes a good point that even if there was a strict deadline.... some series still probably wouldn't have been completed. The spring GDL season really needs to end before the summer begins. A solution has been issued, and I don't see any problem with it. I hope we can move on from here!
  15. I like it....as a short term solution to this playoff situation. I'd never suggest it for the regular season. Now that I think about it.. I don't think a tribunal is necessary. I think AJ is still fine for the job, and I think he needs to address the deadline issue. If he's not up to the job, GR81 certainly is. With this said... I hope we can keep perspective here and not boot players out of the league for not playing a game in a few days. Strict biweekly deadlines with some sound judgment should work out fine. I hope we can agree GDL4 regular season ran smoothly?
  16. I'm very capable of ascertaining your meaning, but when you generalize your comments to include everyone who is replying to your posts... that includes me, and I don't appreciate the way you vilify me as a person who condones immature posting. I certainly don't disagree with your views... but I don't like the way you go about stating them. The title of this thread is "GDL round 2" 1) does it bother you that GDL 4 playoffs are taking months to finish? 2) do you have ideas to improve the GDL for GDL5?
  17. I'm curious as to when the focus of your argumentation switched to profanity? I haven't seen anyone blatantly endorse the use of profanity, so I don't think it is very fair for you to claim we think it's cool. You are right, it isn't very mature to swear in posts, but maturity doesn't begin and end with the use of swear words. The manner in which you reply to another poster also shows maturity, and it is very clear to me that if you want to start cleaning up this message board, you shouldn't start with profanity, but you should start with childish provoking of others. I really don't care though, and I don't think many others do. Back to the main point.... GDL 5 --> When are we expecting it, and what improvements are we asking for?
  18. although most may side with your opinions, it's another thing to say them. just because I didn't win my series, does this mean I have no "jurisdiction" on the time it takes the playoffs to be completed? I know you are focusing a little bit of frustration back at hokkee, but if I have no respect for hokkee's angry tirade's, I have no respect for this one either. To be as constructive as possible, we should try to pinpoint when the summer "lazies" begin. We aren't going to win the battle of having people play during the summer, so we should develop a hard deadline for GDL 6 (hopefully)before the beginning of the summer for the playoffs. The hardass approach of making a deadline for playoffs and having coaches forfeit for not playing is the realistic approach to take. Comments... go. I'd like to hear what AJ has to say too. He's done a respectable job with the GDL, and he's open enough to make changes for the better. We want this league to be the frontrunner.
  19. Folks, if we continue to drink the gr81's kool-aid, and buy into his flashy talks, we will be led down the road to High-GAA city, population - 20 shots per game allowed. We should require substance and action from a man! These are reasons why KGMan chose me as defensive coach. Is there any higher accolade than having KGMan hand pick you?
  20. You don't need a well-rounded defensive approach when you can rely on light-weight players to apply measly body checks all game. Marty McSorley would not fare well on a gr81 coached team, but he would thrive on a Matt Hurray coached team!
  21. If drafting Patrick Roy is a cheap strategy to gaining defensive stardom, then call me Frugal McChintzy.
