  1. there would be some variety, but not enough to satisfy my purist belies. It is an interesting thought and i think it would be interesting to see how people would react to such an idea. If thats the majority wants, then i would either deal with it or let someone else take my spot.

    So you like to use toronto eh? how? they are slow and they dont have a true sniper. Im a Gilmour fan and all, but i must say that when i take Toronto up against a good opponent with a good team,i get run over.

  2. you do bring up an interesting point with having lets say 5-10 set teams and we can pick between those.

    call me a purist though, i dont like the idea of a couple people having the same team , i like seeing different teams and seeing how all the people use all these teams. I think we run the same danger of having some degree of blandness in the league due to only a handful of teams being used. this however is a better solution then the first one you had where everyone is the same team.

  3. its as simple as this, we disagree, obviously nothing we say to each other will persuede the other to change sides. i respect your opinion and i want you to keep voicing it, but on the flip side i will likely be there voicing mine as well. i hope we dont go to the format you suggest and i encourage you to pick the best team you can. i look forward to getting spanked game in and game out.

  4. everyone with an equal team just seems mundane. like addisonbr said 400 det vs. det games does not sound like fun at all. You saying that working with the players on that team will fit to our strengths is a kanard. All teams have weaknesses and its very likely those weaknesses will affect some of the players. So one team ,is just not a solution due to that fact alone. I can see the reasoning you have, and while the reasoning may be sound from your view, i just disagree. Life is all about sometimes getting the short end of the straw, and working with what you get is exactly what hockey is. Just because the St. Louis Blues are filled with bums, they arent crying foul and saying everyone must have equal caliber players, they make do with what they have and in some cases like the 2003 minnesotta wild (i believe) made the playoffs with a team full of bums. also teams like the new york rangers who filled their team with stars stunk and missed the playoffs for 7 years i believe. Being successful is all about devising a game plan, playing to your strengths, and taking advantage of opponents weaknesses. It may not always be possible to do those things every game, it is not impossible. Washington is capable of beating Pittsburgh, by no means am i taking a stab at your ability to play the game, but the fact is you played 3 real close games that just didnt come out in your favor, a bounce here or there could have changed the game, not the fact that you have the same team as him would neccessarily change anything.

  5. personally im in favor of a draft. we throw everybody in the pool and the order is random. then teams are just picked from there. obviously those lucky enough to be at the top will get the best teams. its fair because it gives everyone an equal shot to get the team they want. having teams with different abilities is part of hockey and part of life.

  6. Look, i disagree with all of this. Complaining that someone has an all-star player is an argument that may very well never stop. Ok, so lets say we take out Lemieux, Roenick, Selanne, what have you. Then the next tier of best players will dominate a league in this theory and then those players like Gilmour, Mogilny, Yzerman, will all be eliminated. Continuing down that slipper slope will bring us down to guys like Brian Bradley because he just domiantes Guy Hebert too easily. All i can say is suck it up, Washington has a good defense in Iafrate and Hatcher and they have some speed with Bondra and scoring ability in Bondra and Ridley. A sound defense can stop Lemieux and Jagr. Limit skating room, check better, hold, hook, dump the puck, play a different style, whatever needs to be done.

    Complaining on the forum after getting hit up for ONE loss is no way to get any sort of respect. You get respect by playing the games and finding ways to win, not by saying you'll pick Roenick next season on purpose or whoever else youd want. Some guys get lucky with a good team, but all you can do is work with what you have and adjust to the opponent, everyone can be stopped or else they would be undefeated.

  7. I noticed i have 4 ties with STL, ive been looking for this guy for a week all over this forum board, i have made the attempt a handful of times to get a game with this guy to no avail, i believe getting a tie with him is unfair to me and id like it if the administration reconsidered their decision.
