hmm.. should be an interesting season..

"11 250 Dalas" 11.10/250 Dallas! Nylander

10.15/231 Dallas Bob Carpenter

3.13/61 - EDM - Neal Broten (125, 118, 57, 61 - 90.3 ) IceStorm70 : Gartner, Bondra, Broten After being overlooked in the first two GDL season, Broten has become a mid-3rd-round pick due to his speed, checking, and passing (all 4s). Icestorm adds some toughness up front and should score a lot of goals this year. Skipping on a quality D or goalie may cost him a few games, though. 3.14/62 - CHI - Benoit Hogue (45, 53, 52, 62 - 53.0 ) backhandfloater : Fuhr, Drake, Hogue Hogue is a great 2nd-tier sniper, quick (4/5) with a dangerous 3/5 shot and a good sense of how to get open. He is typically an early-3rd round pick but fell out of the top 60 this season. Backhand has added a dangerous scoring touch to his team. Russ Courtnall was dangerous for him last season, and opponents should be almost as wary of Hogue. 3.15/63 - VAN - Paul Coffey (29, 43, 41, 63 - 44.0 ) dmac : Modano, Robitaille, Coffey Coffee drops 12 spots to 63rd. Though highly skilled, his lack of checking ability makes him a poor choice in the second round. With the drafting of Hogue and Broten, the draft enters another dead zone, so taking Coffey now is a good move by dmac (though a goalie is rarely a bad move, either). This team will generate a lot of offensive chances, but probably won't be as dangerous as last year's one-man-band Bure team. 3.16/64 - NYR - Tom Barrasso (22, 50, 47, 64 - 45.8 ) CamKneely : Recchi, Lafontaine, Barasso This is the latest Barasso has been drafted. He's a good goalie, but not a game-breaker. CamKneely adds a respectable goalie to his team, giving him 2 good two-way forwards and a solid goalie. This team is already well balanced and should cause opponents lots of trouble. 3.17/65 - CGY - Eric Lindros (51, 80, 74, 65 - 67.5 ) Jamonica : Bourque, Sundin, Lindros Lindros makes a jump to 65th this season. He's one of the game's most dangerous one-timer men, but his atrocious 12 weight and disappointing 3 speed make him hard to use for most people. Not many people can draft a 147-goal scorer in the 3rd round (that's how many Lindros had last season under Jamonica), but Jamonica seems to know how to get the most out of heavy players. I'm in his division, so I guess I'll see how well he uses these guys! 3.18/66 - MTL - Tommy Soderstrom (67, 64, 62, 66 - 64.8 ) HABS : Lemieux, Lebeau, Soderstrom Soderstrom is taken in the 60s for the 4th season in a row. Habs adds a respectable goalie (3rd or 2nd in GAA and Sv% last season) to make up for the defensive shortcomings of Lemieux.

daaaamn what an upgrade. nice work mack!

9.10/202 Dallas Yuri Khmylev (wanted amonte )

(whoops, i misspelled 'dmitry') Love the new ajax stuff on the site!

It's close at that point, but then you have to add in Jimmy Carson, and that's where the loss is : (

8.15/183 Toront-- I mean Dallas picks Jamie Macoun.

3.9/57 - DAL - Sergei Makarov (93, 66, 61, 57 - 69.3 ) smozoma : Gilmour, Potvin, Makarov Makarov also breaks the 60th pick mark for the first time. Makarov is a highly skilled player, but his shot is an unimpressive 2/4, and his 2 Defensive Awareness could be a liability. This pick shows smozoma's dedication to offense this season, picking a 5 passer to feed Gilmour for the one-timer. Will smozoma lead the league in one-timer attempts as he did in GDL2? 3.10/58 - nj - Alexei Zhitnik (68, 61, 58, 58 - 61.3 ) skoolyardpuck : Fleury, Reichel, Zhitnik Zhitnik has been drafted 58th two seasons in a row now. He is a top-10 defenseman who can hit and skate. skool has built a good team that will turn many an opponent's rush into an odd-man chance the other way. With Fleury and Zhitnik roaming the ice, opponents are going to need to pass the puck to avoid getting checked and having it stolen. 3.11/59 - ATL - Joe Nieuwendyk (118, 81, 104, 59 - 90.5 ) Sebe_The_Legend : Ciccarelli, Kovalenko, Nieuwendyk (I spelled that without looking!) Nieuwendyk jumps from 104th to 59th, suggesting that Sebe jumped the gun on this pick. Though a good skater and shooter, his 2 passing will prevent him from connecting one-timer passes with Ciccarelli, and his 8 weight will prevent him from utilizing his speed ettectively. This draft started out promisingly for Sebe, but lackluster 2nd and 3rd picks could prevent him from eclipsing his rookie season points total garnered using a well-drafted team created by TessLog. 3.12/60 - MIN - Pelle Eklund (72, 77, 64, 60 - 68.3 ) Scribe99 : R Courtnall, Fedorov, Eklund Eklund rises to the 60th pick for the first time in his GDL career. His 5 weight makes him a valuable player, though his other attributes are fairly average. He's a good role player, adding a checking presence on the wing and a surprising knack for scoring goals. This is a very well-put-together forward line that could actually be just as tough to play against as Scribe's Selanne, Ronning, Broten line from last season. He'll have another good season, but the lack of defense will be a weakness come playoff time.

But seriously, can we make a hokkee trade council next time he's in the league (since there's no way he's making the playoffs this season now and said he'd skip gdl5 if he didn't -- hope he proves me wrong)? People just take advantage of his bad trades... We need someone to veto the really bad ones Hokkee.. just ask someone before you trade, say to me "someguy is offering me q and r for m and n.. what do you think?"

I thought it was his best trade to date, but that's not saying too much.. Carson, Juneau, Joseph for Fedorov, Chevaeldae, 12th rd pick (by way of Sandstrom/Fedorov) sooo baaaad Having lost a forward for a 12th rd pick, he really needed that extra draft pick that he got along with bure, i think.

7.10(154) Dallas Mr. Hipcheck, Darius Kasparitis joins the Stars how many opponents will get kasparitis-itis this season?

3.1/49 - SJ - Tony Granato (71, 59, 54, 49 - 58.3 ) edisaurusrex : Belfour, Larmer, Granato Granato's stock has risen steadily each season, finally breaking the top 50. This should be his peak, though. He's a fast skater (4/5), and respectable in all other areas, but has no real standout talents. Ed makes another terrific pick here. Hogue might have been a slightly better pick, due to his better passing, but Granato's better checking makes a good argument in his favour. I see a vast improvement in edisaurusrex's point total this season. 3.2/50 - NAS - Curtis Joseph (24, 38, 46, 50 - 39.5 ) hokkeefan : Roenick, Juneau, Joseph Joseph's draft position has plummeted dramatically, from 24th in GDL1 to 50th in GDL4. The league has gravitated more towards offense this season. This is a solid pick by Hokkee, who now has two hard-hitting forwards and the league's (arguably) 4th best goalie. Hokkee looks poised to make the playoffs after a disappointing GDL3. 3.3/51 - HFD - Chris Chelios (42, 42, 45, 51 - 45.0 ) Sdogg : Selanne, Roberts, Chelios Taking advantage of the league's shift to drafting forwards, Sdogg takes the game's best all-around defenseman with the 51st pick, 3rd in the 3rd, round. Chelios had previously never been drafted outside the 2nd round, so this is a definite steal. Sdogg has built a highly skilled team with varied areas of strengths. He should be able to line up well against any other team in the league, so long as he brings in a good backstop in round 4 -- unfortunately, that is over 40 picks away and the pickings should be slim by that time. 3.4/52 - PIT - Pierre Turgeon (54, 36, 38, 52 - 45.0 ) matthurray : Roy, Tikkanen, Turgeon After being drafted in the middle of the 2nd round the past two seasons, Turgeon and his 4/5 shot drops to an early 3rd-round pick. Though a cunning one-timing centreman, his lack of checking ability reduces his desirability. matt might have benefitted more from a tougher player like Makarov, but Turgeon's dangerous shot will keep other teams' defenses honest. Though this team won't light up the scoreboard, with Roy in net, this can be a winning team, provided matt can pot 3+ goals per game. 3.5/53 - STL - Al MacInnis (60, 54, 51, 53 - 54.5 ) Carse : Bure, Oates, MacInnis MacInnis's ulcer-inducing 6/1 shot makes him a consistent 3rd-round pick. Though a bit on the heavy side (8), he's a 4 in agility, speed, stick-handling, and passing, making him an offensive threat that must be respected. This team will score A LOT of goals in GDL4, but may suffer a bit in the defensive zone. Carse will need to make a couple careful picks in the upcoming rounds to balance out this team. 3.6/54 - LA - Alexei Zhamnov (63, 82, 87, 54 - 71.5 ) lakings93PA : Sakic, Suter, Zhamnov Zhamnov makes a 23-spot jump up the draft ladder. He's a highly skilled player, but not too flashy. There are not a lot of players outside the first round who can boast 5s in agility, stick-handling, and passing (Makarov and Messier I think are the only ones left undrafted?). His 3/4 shot, though not overpowering, is not to be ignored. kings has a solid offensive-minded team here, but will need to shore up his back end in the coming rounds. 3.7/55 - COL - Bob Essensa (52, 58, 56, 55 - 55.3 ) take_your_pill : Klima, G Courtnall, Essensa Essensa is a solid goaltender, and a bit of a stand-out among the 70-75 rated goalies. He's been consistently drafted in the mid-50s. With no lack in speed and a solid goaltender, this team will be good in both ends of the rink. If pill regains his GDL1 championship form, this team could be very dangerous. 3.8/56 - BUF - Nicklas Lidstrom (65, 68, 63, 56 - 63.0 ) jrodimus : Mogilny, Savard, Lidstrom Lidstrom, one of the best checking defensemen in the league (5 weight) finally cracks the top 60, and should stay there in upcoming drafts. Though not particularly quick, his 4 agility makes him very dangerous to opposing forwards, and his 4 passing allows him to contribute offensively. One of the best D at generating odd-man rushes with a timely check and quick pass. How many times are we going to see "Mogilny, Lidstrom" on the scoresheet for a breakaway goal? Mogilny's chances at reaching the 200 goal mark look better than ever.

i'm gonna weigh in on the side of gravity

What have I done.. I should never have suggested hokkee trade Juneau

Did that ever work? :/ Or were those just accidents, trying to check

GAME 34: CANADA 8 (habs/smozoma) @ USA 0 (wags/shifty) wags pauses after goals to get rid of the siren noises, then quits early and insults his teammate :/ classy.

2.11/35 - EDM - Peter Bondra (23, 11, 22, 35 - 22.8 ) IceStorm70: Gartner, Bondra This is by far the lowest Bondra has ever been drafted. Though he skates as fast as any other player, his 4 agility means he isn't easily controlled, and so this season he falls out of the first round for the first time. IceStorm looks to build upon his phenomenal rookie season by drafting two of the game's best pure goal scorers. This line will be very hard to defend against, but will they be able to keep the puck out of their own net? 2.12/36 - MIN - Sergei Fedorov (44, 27, 24, 36 - 32.8 ) Scribe99: Russ Courtnall, Fedorov After cracking the 1st round last season, Fedorov falls to the middle of the second round. Though one of the game's best playmakers, he lacks the checking ability to be a first round guy. Scribe adds a competent complement to Courtnall, but will need to add some toughness in order to do as well as he did last season. 2.13/37 - NJ - Robert Reichel (96, 52, 53, 37 - 59.5 ) skoolyardpuck: Fleury, Reichel Reichel is a solid all-around player who really turned it on at the end of last season helping Dallas win 13 of their last 14 games to make the playoffs. Is he the real deal though? Drafting him 15 spots earlier than ever before, skool hopes so. He should play well with CGY teammate Fleury. 2.14/38 - ATL - Andrei Kovalenko (28, 72, 30, 38 - 42.0 ) Sebe_The_Legend: Ciccarelli, Kovalenko Kovalenko is tied with Fleury as the lightest player in the league (light = good checker), but he lacks the speed and intelligence of his minuscule counterpart. Sebe has built a forward line that will be tough to contain. Kovalenko will be able to shrug off checks from heavier players in order to make the play to Ciccarelli for the big one-timer goals. His average passing ability should prevent Ciccarelli from reaching the 200 goal plateau, though. 2.15/39 - DAL - Felix Potvin (18, 34, 25, 39 - 29.0 ) smozoma: Gilmour, Potvin The game's 4th-highest rated goalie drops to the 39th pick. smozoma hopes he picked up a steal and an adequate replacement for Roy from last season. Gilmour is one of the game's best backcheckers, so this team should still challenge for the lowest GAA despite's Roy's royal absence. With that in mind, smozoma should concentrate on finding a player to click with Gilmour in Round 3. 2.16/40 - BUF - Denis Savard (79, 40, 35, 40 - 48.5 ) jrodimus: Mogilny, Savard After being overlooked until the 4th round in GDL 1, Savard has been a solid 2nd round pick. Though his shot isn't impressive, his weight and agility make him one of the game's toughest players. With this pick, Mogilny should be a top-5 scorer, and perhaps approach the 200-goal mark. 2.17/41 - LA - Gary Suter (40, 47, 48, 41 - 44.0 ) lakings93PA: Sakic, Suter Suter is a skilled defenseman who should be able to contribute at both ends of the rink. One gets the feeling that other people keep taking Kings' favourite players right before his draft position. Sakic and Suter are both solid players, but neither are the stand-out players. A playoff position could come down to the last couple games, like last season. 2.18/42 - STL - Adam Oates (17, 32, 27, 42 - 29.5 ) Carse: Bure, Oates Oates is one of the games highest-rated players, but has never performed up to his 93 rating. Bure is rated just 90, but was drafted 35 spots earlier! This is the lowest Oates has ever been drafted and though he's overrated, he probably should have been drafted a bit earlier, as he quietly brings in points. At 42nd, Oates is a terrific pick, especially to play with a dynamic player like Bure. People will have a tough time choosing who to cover. One wonders just how far beyond 200 goals Bure will get this season... 2.19/43 - COL - Geoff Courtnall (32, 60, 59, 43 - 48.5 ) take_your_pill: Klima, G. Courtnall Geoff is not as fast as his brother, but he's still a large threat. He's probably been a bit undervalued in the previous two drafts, going 60th and 59th. Pill adds another speedster to his team. Many question marks remain around Klima's ability to lead the team, however. Is Courtnall too much of the same? 2.20/44 - PIT - Esa Tikkanen (26, 41, 49, 44 - 40.0 ) matthurray: Roy, Tikkanen This is a bit of a dead-spot in the draft, where there is a sudden drop-off in desirable players. Tikkanen is not a bad player, but his fragile checking rating makes won wonder if he can be depended upon to put the puck in the net. Roy will have to have another career season if matthurray wants to rebound from a disappointing GDL3. 2.21/45 - HFD - Gary Roberts (46, 26, 33, 45 - 37.5 ) Sdogg: Selanne, Roberts Sdogg looks poised for a breakout season, nabbing Roberts 45th overall. Roberts is one of the game's best one-timer shooters. Who will play centre? 2.22/46 - NAS - Joe Juneau (85, 39, 44, 46 - 53.5 ) hokkeefan: Roenick, Juneau Juneau is stabilizing as a late-2nd-round pick. He's a good checker and decent at everything else, but will need to be more dependable than he was last season, when he was drafted to be Dallas's top centre, losing the job to Reichel. He should have no trouble racking up assists as Roenick's feed-man. Though I hate to say it, maybe Hokkee should look into to trading Juneau for someone a little different, since Juneau is just a less-skilled Roenick. 2.23/47 - SJ - Steve Larmer (39, 48, 39, 47 - 43.3 ) Edisaurusrex: Belfour, Larmer Under the shadow of great players such as Roenick, Belfour, and to a lesser extent, Chelios, it's hard for someone like Larmer to get the attention he deserves. He is solid in every category and is also one of the best backchecking forwards, with 6 defensive awareness. Ed could double his points total from last season and challenge for a playoff spot if he keeps drafting this well. 2.24/48 - PHI - Cam Neely (30, 44, 72, 48 - 48.5 ) xdeathsbloodx: Yzerman, Neely Neely is a great shooter and deker, but has trouble staying on his feet. He's one of the more overrated players in the game. deathsblood missed his pick and was awarded Neely at the end of the round. Neely should complement Yzerman well, though.

The 2nd one was smozoma/sebe vs jesus/SOH i think? They had tactics and I kept passing to them. We were lucky to get away with just a 4-2 loss.

In the GDL? I made a program that can stitch together desynched games to preserve all the stats.. but no one ever seems to use it but me Generally people just restart the game, pull the goalies, score goals until the old score is back, then play on (with the goalies back). Upload the final score, don't worry too much about the stats discrepancy.

2.1 - ANA - Geoff Sanderson (77, 65, 55, 25 - 55.5 ) swos: Ronning, Sanderson. Sanderson makes a massive jump, being picked first in the 2nd round, having never been chosen earlier than 55th before, a jump of 30 spots. Sanderson is a decent player, but there are plenty of players left with better skills. This pick by swos is a complete mystery. Why not Robitaille or Fedorov? We'll have to see what swos has up his sleeve. Sanderson is known to have good 'reach,' one of kgman's mystery player skills. 2.2 - QUE - Brett Hull (21, 33, 36, 26 - 29.0 ) Sungod: Gretzky, Hull. Hull once again doesn't make the first round, landing in Quebec with the 26th pick. Hull has the most powerful shot in the game, but also one of the least dependable. Sungod took Gretzky in the first round, so has the Gretzky+Hull combination that, in theory at least, should be deadly. Past results from Hull suggest that this is a rookie mistake. Hull has a hard shot, but has a bad habit of missing the widest of open nets; he's also easy to check. Sungod will need to use him with surgical precision if he wants to make a big splash in this first season. It will be interesting to see who sungod chooses to play centre -- Hull, to take advantage of his dangerous one-timer, or Gretzky, for his great backchecking abilities. 2.3 - WPG - Nelson Emerson (50, 109, 42, 27 - 57.0 ) kgman: Housley, Emerson. kgman makes us all wonder again, taking Emerson 27th, his highest draft position ever. Emerson is great checker (the best 4-weight player remaining), but his shot is average. He should prove effective at hunting down the opposition when they have the puck, but can he provide the offense necessary to take kgman to the Cup again? 2.4 - NYI - Petr Svoboda (49, 63, 66, 28 - 51.5 ) AJ: Sandstrom, Svoboda Wow, this is a huge jump for the league's all-time PIM leader. Svoboda was a big part of kgman's superb GDL3 season, and it's payed off for him. His solid checking presence should make up for Sandstrom's defensive weaknesses and give AJ another great season. 2.5 - WSH - Brian Bradley (38, 24, 14, 29 - 26.3 ) Gr8199: Sweeney, Bradley gr81's go-to guy returns for his 3rd(?) season. This is going to be a dangerous team at both ends of the rink, with two very capable 4-weight players. Bradley may not be fast, but he is good at everything else, especially one-timing, with his big 4/5 shot. gr81 should have a career year and have a good shot at the Cup. 2.6 - MTL - Stephan Lebeau (89, 57, 32, 30 - 52.0 ) Habs: Lemieux, Lebeau Captain Lebeau returns to the Forum again, and with this pick, it appears Habs intends to play Lebeau at C and Lemieux at wing. This will be a very dangerous team, and both players should end the season in the top 10. We could be seeing Habs in the finals if he can keep the puck out of his own net. Lebeau's draft position has improved each season. 2.7 - CGY - Mats Sundin (48, 21, 37, 31 - 34.3 ) Jamonica: Bourque, Sundin. Sundin is a solid player who can put the puck in the net with ease, and contribute to some extent on the backcheck. With no solid checking presense, Jam could be in the trouble in the GAA column. 2.8 - NYR - Pat LaFontaine (19, 7, 28, 32 - 21.5 ) CamKneely: Recchi, LaFontaine. This is one of the best draft picks this season. LaFontaine may be overrated, but as a mid-2nd-round pick, he is a steal. This is the latest he's ever been drafted (he went 7th in GDL2!). VC with just two picks has built a team that can pot a pile of one-timer goals and can also backcheck to keep the puck out of the net. We may see VC lead the league in Attack Zone. 2.9 - VAN - Luc Robitaille (11, 30, 34, 33 - 27.0 ) dmac: Modano, Robitaille While never a bad pick (except at 11th as in the GDL1!), Robitaille does not, at first glance, appear to have much chemistry with a player like Modano. It will be interesting to see how dmac makes use of these two players. 2.10 - CHI - Dallas Drake (156, , 67, 34 - 85.7 ) BHF: Fuhr, Drake This is a solid pick by BHF, who continues his defensive trend. Drake may not score too many, but his checking power will keep the opposition from getting quality shots on Chicago's quality goaltender. BHF should challenge gr81 for the best GAA in the league.

On the other hand, it's good for the Northwest teams (VAN/CGY/EDM/MIN/COL) since their division is so competitive, so one of them automatically gets 3rd and home ice. Still, this Carolina situation is pretty ridiculous. Maybe they should just get to leapfrog a team or two in the standings instead of going straight to 3rd.

does this work in canada? i signed up but never got the confirmation message on my phone. i tried sending a text from my phone to my aim and that didn't work either. i never txt so maybe i'm screwing it up, but.. getting 2 things wrong seems improbable.

do scribe and sebe even know they have to pick tomorrow morning?
