<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>All day Saturday and Tuesday evening next week are a no for me. Would prefer no earlier than 5pm MST if it’s this Sunday cuz I have 2 other drafts that afternoon lol. Weeknights next week (preferably 6pm MST or later, although not too late for the east coasters obviously) or the weekend of Oct 7/8, with the exception of 6:30-8:30pm MST on Oct. 8, would be good (hopefully, unless I get sent to a mine on zero notice again, which actually has a decent chance of happening 🙃).

Also Basement Bois and Jonathan Hockey were my irl friends who took over teams from people that quit halfway through the season. They’re down to be in again if there’s space. Sorry for not bringing this up sooner, I haven’t been super active on cf recently.</div></div>
<a href="/users/CoopsTroops" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@CoopsTroops</a> is there space for these guys? Also it seems like Wednesday at 9pm EST works the best for everyone.

Also to summarize my availability in one post:
Oct. 6 and onwards don't work (in the field with limited to no wifi)
Tuesday evening doesn't work
Thursday evening could work, but would prefer another day (I have another draft at 9pm EST that day)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>Some random goal eh. For starters, the game was tied 2-2 at the end of overtime, the game went to a shootout. It was the the first shootout in franchise history for Montreal. The franchise that drafted Crosby’s father, Sidney’s boyhood favourite team growing up. His rookie season. Crosby’s first game against a Canadian team.

Yes, I do believe this would have blown up on Twitter.

But

I mean the tweet said they won 1-0 so where was I supposed to get 2-2 from lol. I’m sure it meant a lot to Crosby individually, and it’s a cool goal for the week’s highlight reel (pretty standard deke), but this was back when the Penguins were a poverty franchise without a super hardcore base. Who would even be on twitter to get excited about that? Like there’d be some Canadians pointing out that it’s interesting, maybe some Habs fans complaining about the loss, but it doesn’t seem particularly special outside of that when compared to literally any other major moment you could’ve picked in 85+ years of NHL history considering you had first crack at this.

There's no way some random shootout goal in a 0-0 game between Pittsburgh and Montreal is the first thing that came to mind for the NHL 💀💀 Like I can think of two SHOOTOUTS that woulda been better (first ever between Sens/Leafs and the Marek Malik goal). Then you get into the whole realizing the lockout was actually a thing that was happening, the Bertuzzi-Moore incident, the Sakic-Bourque cup pass, and those are only the first things that come to mind in the 21st century without doubling up on reasons (panic, outrage, wholesome).

Funnily enough, I was on the receiving end of a similar temper tantrum in one of my last games of competitive hockey. There was 9 seconds left in OT in an elimination playoff game and the opposing defenseman punches my head several times for digging at a loose puck. A penalty in OT was a penalty shot, which I scored on to send that team home and keep mine alive. Moral of the story: players like Logan Mailloux lose you hockey games, and more specifically, important hockey games. And he’s still a POS too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>I love Dvorsky. I'd love to see Montreal get him with their 2nd 1st round pick. Hoping Florida can hover around 10th overall and we somehow get him.</div></div>
I don't think Dvorsky falls to 10 tbh. He'd be my pick to round out the top 5 right now, but even if he slips, talented centres with 1C upside don't fall very far, and when they do, it's usually because there are good defensemen. This draft lacks D, and it's hard to see too many wingers (even ones as talented as Benson, Sale, etc.) going ahead of legitimate 1C candidates. I could maybe see Yager, and perhaps one of the top wingers (Anaheim doesn't really need a C, and Arizona could maybe afford to take a winger too) or potentially Will Smith going ahead of Dvorsky, but I don't think he falls to 10. Maybe 7 or 8.
