Well flippin' heck. Girly you've done a great job so thanks so much. Unfortunately real life got in the way for me a bit. I was WAY too busy at work and there was also a crackdown on internet usage so...... something had to give.
Hehe well I can see that since last year, DRAFTS are in recession too. It's very difficult to run one now when internet and life is restricted. My life has changed alot since last year too. It's hard to be online alot, pick when it's your turn, have fun debates and discussion.. everything is restricted and drafts probably aren't the way to go anymore unless we have a small group of people and a short draft!

^^^ I find the Superhero draft going pretty smoothly. I think the key is a low amount of both people and categories. If people want to do another one later on so be it. At some point theres just not much interesting left

The Oscar draft is perfect.

For my last pick As Coach, and it is my team so I can do what I want (and this draft was too long). With the experience of watching hundreds of hockey games I pick myself as coach of the team. Why? Because it is my team so I'll coach it if I want.
even if these drafts work out...theyre pretty much a waste of time anyways lol
Maybe, but I mean come one...the last round??? That's a kick in the balls to those of us who have been busting our ass to make sure we had our picks in on time

First off, thanks Girly! It was fun while it lasted...too bad it had to end this way.
Well here's my last pick...cyclone actually called it quite a few rounds back. We'd like to select Georges Vezina as our backup goalie.
One of the most dominant goaltenders in the NHA and early NHL, Vézina led the Canadiens to five Stanley Cup Finals appearances, where they won the title twice.[25] Seven times in his career, Vézina had the lowest goals against average in the league he played, and he had the second best average another five times.[26] From when he joined the Canadiens in 1910, until being forced to retired in 1925, Vézina never missed a game nor allowed a substitute, playing in 328 consecutive regular season games and an additional 39 playoff games.[7][27] Though he played the bulk of his career in an era when goaltenders could not leave their feet to make a save (the rule was changed in 1918),[28] Vézina is regarded as one of the greatest goaltenders in hockey history;[29] the Montreal Standard referred to him as the "greatest goaltender of the last two decades" in their obituary.[30]
Well liked in Montreal, Vézina was often seen as the best player on the ice for the Canadiens, and was respected by his teammates, who considered him the spiritual leader of the team.[31] Referred to as "le Concombre de Chicoutimi" (the "Chicoutimi Cucumber") for his cool demeanour on the ice, he was also known as "l'Habitant silencieux" (the "silent Habitant", Habitant being a nickname for the Canadiens), a reference to his reserved personality.[32] He often sat in a corner of the team's dressing room alone, smoking a pipe and reading the newspaper.[33] When news of Vézina's death was announced, newspapers across Quebec paid tribute to the goalie with articles about his life and career. Hundreds of Catholic masses were held in honour of the devout Vézina, and more than 1500 people filled the Chicoutimi cathedral for his funeral.[34]
