Pumpkins and fantasy rosters! It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

My roster is up and guess who has Beaker and Paulie?!?

But I also have Ovie and Emery. Eooo.

My goalies are Voukon, Emery and Theodore. Hmm.

Dave and I have several of the same players. Strange.
on September 26, 2009 at 1:55 am carolbrowne

I got the new guy, John Tavares! And I also got Theodore. The hell? It’s cool. You can have him.
on September 26, 2009 at 2:52 am Mags

I got Getzlaf… *runs and hides*

Pumpkins and fantasy rosters! It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

If that’s the case, I got a rock. A rock called Ed Jovonovski.

My roster is up and guess who has Beaker and Paulie?!?

Oooh, you should call your team the Foxy Pot Roasts. (Actually, those guys are really putting the “Pot” in “Pot Roasts”, aren’t they? Heh.)

I got Getzlaf… *runs and hides*

::death glare to end all death glares::

Seriously, Mags, what would it take to trade Getzi to the Andersoxers? Thornton? Heatley? Jovonovski? Yeah, that’s right, I got Special Ed. Who knew he was even still playing?!?
on September 26, 2009 at 9:18 am Pookie

Whew! I am now Jovo-less. I know the dude gets PIM, but man, that was some bad feng shui that would drag the whole team down. Hm. I wonder if putting feng shui over points is the reason I never win? Psahw! That can’t be!

How did I end up with two thirds of Montreal’s smurf line? Oh well, at least I didn’t get stuck with that Rangers castoff.
on September 26, 2009 at 9:33 am Pookie

Frisby, you got Gionta? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Remember, don’t pencil him in for 48 goals.
on September 26, 2009 at 9:42 am Pookie

Oh, and by the way, it should probably be noted that I did not get Craig Anderson. What a travesty!
on September 26, 2009 at 9:49 am Grrrreg

Hey! I just arrived home.

I’m all jetlagged, and I haven’t slept in 24 hours, BUT I got Joe Thornton again!
I’m a little worried about my goalies though: Jonas Hiller and Jon Quick. :/

Let’s just hope 2009-10 will be a great season for all the young Californian goalies named Jon something.

Frisby, you got Gionta? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Remember, don’t pencil him in for 48 goals.

Hmph!
on September 26, 2009 at 9:58 am Pookie

Welcome home, Grrreg!

I think Jonas Hiller is the bomdiggity. I wish I got him instead of poopy old Huet. ::barfs::
on September 26, 2009 at 10:06 am Grrrreg

Oooh, I actually think Huet’s going to be good this season. He’s finally the undisputed #1 goalie of his team, his save % is always pretty good, and with the team he has in front of him, he should get a respectable number of wins. Too bad you’re in the wrong league, we could have started the season with a blockbuster trade!
on September 26, 2009 at 10:27 am Pookie

Too bad you’re in the wrong league, we could have started the season with a blockbuster trade!

Yeah, that would have rocked! Oh well. I’ll just have to hope you’re right about Huet.
on September 26, 2009 at 10:56 am Mags

I’m a little worried about my goalies though: Jonas Hiller and Jon Quick. :/

I feel ya. I’ve got Kipper, Rinne and Quick. Them’s all really winner! *snort*

Pookie, I’ll think about what I’ll trade for Getzi. Seriously, I don’t want him, I just don’t know what I’d rather have.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:07 am mcguffers

I think Jonas Hiller is the bomdiggity. I wish I got him instead of poopy old Huet. ::barfs::

Ahem. What Grrrreg said.

I got one Sedin twin. I didn’t think those guys ever got separated.

I kind of like this drafting from the other conference thing, because I only have a vague idea who all these people are. I know John Michael Liles is Crunchy’s best friend, and Willie Mitchell sounds like he’s in a Country Blue Grass band. But I got Shea Weber so I’m happy. And Dion Phaneuf so no sloppy second jokes!

Okay, I’m gonna go figure out what the hell everything means.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:08 am Schnookie

And I also got Theodore. The hell? It’s cool. You can have him.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Good morning, everyone! Happy Christmas morning! Heh. I’m very, very jealous of Myra’s Foxy Pothead Pot Roasts. Mmmmm… foxy.

Mags, that’s so sweet of you being willing to foist Getzi off on Pookie! You’re so thoughtful.

And good news, everyone — I got Getzi! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! And for the third year in a row, I got Kipprusoff! We’re the Kippersoxers! Heh. I also got, in some terrible karmic joke of vastly not-funny proportions, Petr Sykora. Dude, I dumped him off my roster so fast he never knew what hit him. I picked up some random luck season ticketholder in his place. I’d rather have an empty roster spot than Petr Sykora!
on September 26, 2009 at 11:12 am Schnookie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I accidentally got a Panther! Either the draft went deeper than I expected it to, or Florida seems very WC to me when I’m sorting guys… Heh.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:15 am Pookie

We’re the Kippersoxers!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Pookie, I’ll think about what I’ll trade for Getzi. Seriously, I don’t want him, I just don’t know what I’d rather have.

OK! Think it over! I’d toss in some fresh baked cookies into whatever trade we make, but they’d probably be stale by the time they got to you. Do you get candy corn in the Netherlands? I can toss some candy corn into the deal! Dany Heatley and a bag of candy corn! Dany Heatley and Dave Bolland and a bag of candy corn! (I can’t sweeten the pot with Jovo, because I dumped him. Sorry.)
on September 26, 2009 at 11:16 am Pookie

Wait, wait, how about Heatley, Hejduk, and three bags of candy corn?
on September 26, 2009 at 11:19 am Mags

And for the third year in a row, I got Kipprusoff!

It seems Kipper is your fantasy hockey cross to bear.

I’d rather have an empty roster spot than Petr Sykora!

Yikes. You REALLY don’t like Petr, do you?
on September 26, 2009 at 11:31 am Schnookie

It seems Kipper is your fantasy hockey cross to bear.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That he is! Continuity, thy name is Yahoo auto-draft. (Although this year I got Khabibulin instead of Backstrom. Kipper and Backstrom were so comfortable as a tandem after two years together!)

Yikes. You REALLY don’t like Petr, do you?

Yes. Yes I do NOT like Petr Sykora. Heh.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:34 am mcguffers

I’d rather have an empty roster spot than Petr Sykora!

Yikes. You REALLY don’t like Petr, do you?

What she’s failing to mention is that she has Havlat and Hossa as her other right wingers. She’s making a real sacrifice to make her point. :D

Soupy AND Special Ed?? Please tell your defense to stop drooling on the ice!
on September 26, 2009 at 11:47 am Schnookie

She’s making a real sacrifice to make her point.

Heh. I hadn’t considered that angle. All I was thinking was “Must… Get… Sykora… Off… Roster…”

Soupy AND Special Ed?? Please tell your defense to stop drooling on the ice!

My god, I KNOW! Isn’t it TERRIBLE? I’m totally paralyzed by this. I have NO idea how to proceed. It’s like their brain power is contagious or something.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:55 am Mags

She’s making a real sacrifice to make her point. :D

Oh. Oh, Schnookie, my heart bleeds for you. Really. *snort*

I’m almost sorry I didn’t get Soupy. I’d've renamed my team the “Soup-A-Stars” if I had. No, instead I’ve got almost all of the Canucks D-men. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go.
on September 26, 2009 at 11:59 am Schnookie

“Soup-A-Stars”

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m sure Pookie can help you make that happen. :D
on September 26, 2009 at 12:03 pm mcguffers

I have NO idea how to proceed. It’s like their brain power is contagious or something.

Have andrew email you the brain teasers that Pookie’s poodle wrote.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::: Too bad Greg Campbell is in the EC. (too lazy to check if that’s still true)
on September 26, 2009 at 12:11 pm Pookie

I most certainly can make that happen, Mags! Getzi for Campbell and three bags of candy corn!
on September 26, 2009 at 12:19 pm Schnookie

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I know this poodle, and know it’s really, really smart, but dude, we’re talking Soupy and Jovo here. NO poodle is smart enough to overcome that.
on September 26, 2009 at 12:23 pm Mags

I’ll think about it, Pookie :)
on September 26, 2009 at 1:20 pm amy

Continuity, thy name is Yahoo auto-draft.

I know! I have Luongo and a Sedin for the third year in a row.
on September 26, 2009 at 1:30 pm Schnookie

Has it been the same Sedin all three years, or does the auto-draft not know the difference?
on September 26, 2009 at 2:23 pm amy

Has it been the same Sedin all three years, or does the auto-draft not know the difference?

No, I’ve had both of them on my teams. I can’t tell the difference between them.

I’m kind of in love with my goalie group – Lui, Mason and The Conk.
on September 26, 2009 at 2:47 pm carolbrowne

Wait, wait, how about Heatley, Hejduk, and three bags of candy corn?

Sold! Wait. All I want is the candy corn. You can keep the rest.
on September 26, 2009 at 2:49 pm Pookie

All I want is the candy corn. You can keep the rest.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Too late! You’re stuck with Hejduk!
on September 26, 2009 at 3:04 pm Patty (in Dallas)

My team seems all new this year. Probably because I seem to always get Toskala and I didn’t this time.
on September 26, 2009 at 3:43 pm mcguffers

alix must have found some nice hookers for the Yahoo draft guys. Sid AND Vinny? Kaberle AND Chara? She also has Looch and Komisarek. Heh. That’d be a fun fantasy locker room.
on September 26, 2009 at 4:13 pm Schnookie

Count on alix to have amassed all the hott bitches!
on September 26, 2009 at 4:19 pm mcguffers

Count on alix to have amassed all the hott bitches!

Too bad George Parros isn’t available to her.
on September 26, 2009 at 8:46 pm Myra

What the Ookies aren’t watching NJ vs Tranny Brides?

Half of Hub’s team are TB’s, so he says he’ll have to take them on as his Tranny Brides now as well. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
on September 26, 2009 at 8:57 pm Patty (in Dallas)

Our game’s not going so well, so I assume everybody else’s game is?
on September 26, 2009 at 9:06 pm Myra

Looks like we are the only ones around tonight, Patty.
on September 26, 2009 at 9:13 pm Amy

Our game’s not going so well, so I assume everybody else’s game is?

I’m late to the party, but I know that tonight Goose has gotten 17 penalty minutes for the second time this preseason.
on September 26, 2009 at 9:25 pm Myra

Is it still tied, Amy? My scoreboards don’t seem to be keeping up very well.
on September 26, 2009 at 9:45 pm Mike in Idaho

Pookie, the spiritual leader of your team is officially being held for ransom. I figure Datsyuk will set him free :D
on September 26, 2009 at 10:30 pm Pookie

Um… My team? You mean the Datsyuksoxers? (Just take good care of Craig, promise?)
