Also, you guys can skip over me for now. The internet here is being really gay...like, can't open Wikipedia gay. So no more taking my picks, and carry on!

You forgot to use the 'screw you' mascot.

And just so I can be sure not to take your picks anymore, please post up your current top ten and I'm sure we will all make sure to leave them for you.

[Jagger]

Hmm. Busy at work today. You can carry on and I'll pick when I can....

[WindomURL]

I don't want to jump ahead, but Jerzee voluntarily AK'ed herself yesterday morning from the TV draft. She hasn't posted since then.

Would it be ok if I gave my pick now instead of waiting for her?
I just pulled an all-nighter and should probably go to sleep soon.

Okay, the internet is back up and running today, so the Bawlf Blawkhawks would like to select Right winger Charlie Conacher


In his time, Charlie "The Big Bomber" Conacher had the hardest shot in hockey, a notorious blast that eluded goaltenders and dented rink boards. Five times between 1930 and 1936, Conacher either led or tied for the league lead in goal-scoring. He was a Second Team All-Star in his second and third years in the league and a First Team selection for three consecutive seasons beginning in 1933-34. He also helped the Leafs win the Stanley Cup in 1932.

Team Marleau! Hammered! makes its 12th Round 189th overall pick of Left Wing #3
Brian Propp

Brian Propp (born February 15, 1959 in Lanigan, Saskatchewan) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played 15 seasons in the NHL from 1979 until 1994. He also worked as a broadcaster for the Philadelphia Flyers for seven seasons, finishing in 2008.

Playing career
Propp started his notable career with the Melville Millionaires of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and shattered the scoring record with 75 goals and 92 assists for 168 points in 57 games playing on a line with Kelly Dean and Dwayne Tuberfield. He then moved on to the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, at the same time when the team was one of the most dominating clubs in all of Canadian Major Junior Hockey. When Propp was with the team it produced future NHLer's such as Brad McCrimmon, Bill Derlago, Laurie Boschman, Dave Semenko, Glen Hanlon, Ray Allison and Walt Poddubny. Propp himself won two league scoring titles, and put up spectacular numbers in all three of his seasons in Junior. At the end of his third season, he was drafted 14th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft, a draft that many hockey experts say was the most productive ever.

The 1990–91 season was Propp's last hurrah when he was a member of the Minnesota North Stars. Propp scored 73 points and helped the team the Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Propp only played 68 games the next two seasons, and even took a sabbatical to play in Switzerland in 1993. During his time in Switzerland, he played for Team Canada in the Spengler Cup and helped them to win the tournament.

Propp played for the Hartford Whalers during the 1993–94 NHL season. Although Propp only scored 29 points, it was a productive season for him as he played both his 1000th NHL game and scored his 1000th NHL point in his last NHL season.

Blah blah blah, yada yada yada...

I guess one good turn deserves another. Conacher was my next target.

So...

Damn, Windom!

[Aeneas]

Team "Give Blood...play hockey" is proud to select another physical defenceman who will make playing in the corral a difficult proposition.

We select Ken Reardon.

He only played in some 300 games, but made the hockey hall of fame with his fierce play. He may have played more games had he not played so fearlessly, or gone to serve in the war.

Recognized as one of the toughest players of his era, he also was awarded medals for bravery in WWII. Whether it was with hitting or fighting, opponents came to hate Reardon, a sure sign he was doing a great job.

[habernac]

Nice pic, Aeneas. I met his son here in Calgary over a decade ago, we chatted for a long time about his Dad.

for arena, I have to choose the only building I've ever been to the first game in: Le Centre Bell







It opened March 16, 1996 as the Molson Centre to a capacity crowd of 21,273. And I was one of them. The place flat out rocks. So many banners, I hope they add some new ones that aren't of the retired number variety some time soon.

I like how the banners are all lineup and in a particular order. Stanley Cup banner is white, retired number banner is red.

Not like the Saddledome where there's a banner here, a banner there. A red No 9 banner here, and a black No 30 banner over there. Looks tacky

yeah, that's awful. Get some uniformity in there, looks much more professional.

[czure32]

well Im in dire need of some LW

for our next selection, from Saratov, Russia (though he grew up here in Calgary)

Left Winger 2: David "Sweeney" Schriner

[czure32]

for our next selection, from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, one of (if not) the best enforcers the game has known

Left wing 4: David "Tiger" Williams

While most dominant images of Tiger Williams likely include him sitting in the penalty box, he had an offensive scoring talent which often went overlooked due to his penchant for pugilism. Tiger Williams was chosen 31st overall in the 2nd round of the 1974 NHL entry draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tiger Williams also brought the fans out of their seats, when, after scoring a goal, he would ride his hockey stick down the length of the ice, much to the annoyance of the opposing players. Tiger Williams averaged nearly 20 goals a year, and had his best year in 1980-81 with the Vancouver Canucks, when he netted 35 goals and 27 assists. That year Tiger Williams represented Vancouver in the All-Star game.

Records




National Hockey League records:

• Most NHL career regular season penalty minutes: 3,966
• Most NHL penalty minutes, career, including playoffs: 4,421

Toronto Maple Leaf records:

• Most playoff penalty minutes: 240
• Most playoff penalty minutes in one season by a left wing: 75 in 1976

Vancouver Canuck records:

• Most playoff penalty minutes: 181
• Most penalty minutes in one playoff year: 116 in 1982
• Most penalty minutes in one playoff series: 51 vs. Chicago in 1982

Team Toe Blake is happy to select, as centre #3, Elmer Lach



Elmer James Lach (born January 22, 1918) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey centre who played 14 seasons for the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League. He was born in Nokomis, Saskatchewan.
Lach was the recipient of the first official Art Ross Trophy in 1948 and the Hart Trophy in 1945. He did lead the NHL in scoring during the 1944–45 season with 80 points, but this was before the creation of the Art Ross Trophy. Elmer was the centre of the great "Punch line" with Toe Blake and Maurice Richard. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966.
Elmer won the Stanley Cup three times in the years 1944, 1946, and 1953.
In 1998, he was ranked number 68 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players.

If he was good enough to centre Richard, he's good enough for my team. at 91 years old he is the oldest surviving Canadiens player.

Nice pick

when did Aurel Joliat pass away? I think he was the oldest surviving hab for quite some time.

[habernac]

He died way back in 86. I loved it when he was there for the 75th Habs anniversary, full gear and his cap, they thought he broke a hip when he wiped out not once but twice skating around the Forum ice. I thought he was older, looks like he was not quite 85.

lol, ya I remember that. He was awesome. I was so worried he hurt himself, but he was all smiles and enthusiasm.

[cyclone3483]

Okay, Girly Sports can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the order now is Aeneas, Windom, and Jerzee...plus both Jerzee and Jagger are still looking to make their pick from last round.

Is that right?
