Gee. That was a brilliant idea to post the drafting order before this poll was completed. NJK - lol i woulda probably done the same thing.

How could we even start this without knowing the outcome of the snake vs. non-snake debate? I've got 20th pick overall. You better believe the outcome of that vote is gonna effect my picks. Snake wins: I get 2 players that accommodate each other. Hybrid wins: I'm gonna pray I get guy that can play both ends.

I'd suggest PM'ing some of these coaches. I have a feeling we're gonna lose a couple of them before this thing even starts... KG - That means u bro!

KGman? Where you at? Is KGman really in it? Has anyone really confirmed with him?

The way I read it, it did feel like a kick to the groin. Although you didnt directly say it, seems like you are definately implying something... Just my opinion... Peace.

Snake Snaking - (4) - EricAnthony76, awesomerino; SSIG, backhandfloater Hybrid - (1) - AngryJay93,

I think its because people that are not even involved in the league throw in a votes skewing the results.

PWNAGE? How embarrassing. It's an OLD SCHOOL game. Keep the terminology old school. Oh well.

Its true you never will please everyone. Although I disagree with a couple things (PWNAGE? gimme a break. + The Non-Snake) Hang in there Donch, you're doing a great job.

Why dont we just throw the conferences out the window and the top 8 (or whatever # we decide) make the playoffs? Everyone plays everyone 3 times. I know we talked about this a bit in season 1, but I'm not sure how things panned out in season 2.

LOL. Never underestimate Roenick. JR is so amazing he will score goals from the bench!

No Line changes. We are drafting just enough to cover some subs, penalty kills, injured players etc.

Ice is the real deal. I've played em a bunch lately. The dude loves to play. Has mad skill too. None of the cheap $hit either. He'd be a great addition to the league.

Thats in interesting perspective. The only reason most people don't care is cause the duplicates in the game aren't anything special. But if there were 2 Roenicks... Previously I did not vote. I've now voted "NO" to dups.

Did I miss something?

You're just down with the hybrid cuz you know no one will pick your sorry ass Terry Yakes!

I think Scribe says it best...

Makes no big difference to me. I didnt vote on this one.

I voted snake. The reason: 1st pick or Last pick, you're going to get a solid roster. This is a key point that separates this league from the classic league; balanced teams. Non-snaking - Ouch. Those people with the last picks are just flat out screwed. Hybrid - Again, by the end of that 3rd round, its slim pickings to build a solid roster. I can see it now, a team with Roenick and Fedorov vs a team with Yake and Goulet. Bring balance to the draft!

We tried this once in the original (now defunct) draft league. The end result: 10 Goal blow outs, 20 goal games, momentum swings that could not be controlled. It was fun but ya gotta be prepared to take a beating. I took the worst beating of my life from Vocally Caged in 7 minute periods. I'm pretty sure he scored 20+ goals on me. Good times! lol

Long live The Snake!!

Call me crazy, but I voted yes. Bottom line: The guy has some skill and he WILL PLAY all his games. Do some periodic IP checks to keep people in line with the multiple identities. If you don't like his attitude, just ignore em. edit: If we cannot perform IP checks, dont let em in.

I'm a bit torn here. Personally I hate anything that brings more "chance" and randomness to the game. We've all had many games were the AI goes insanely aggressive and you find yourself short handed for the entire game. I'd vote to have no penalties but at the same time I'm diggin' the additional stats it creates. I voted 2 mins.

Colorado Please. (Unless EA wants to let me have Chi Back )

I'm willing to bet there will be a ton of interest in this league. I guess another thing to think about is: Who to let in? 1st come 1st serve? Reliable vets?
