serge 904 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 you're right serge, $10,000 isn't enoughdaniel, don't be so greedy. up it to 15.lol..thats not what i meant. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just thought I'd mention this person was co-commish in the first year, and 2-time FCHL champ. Not that my word means a lot, but he would be an exceptional choice.I can echo Danny's vote of confidence for Jay, he's very, very good people and an outstanding fantasy GM. Plus he's really good at Wii Tiger Woods and Guitar Hero. That counts. Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 When do you think we would know if we had a team? Sorry I'm not trying to rush, it's just I need enough time to book off work. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ghosts of Elvis = Sidney CrosbyYeah, that's literally the only thing I know about any of the teams that are being vacated. There could be better teams out there, there could even be teams with more awesome Penguins. I have no idea. :)Also, keep Jay out. He's too good. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah, that's literally the only thing I know about any of the teams that are being vacated. There could be better teams out there, there could even be teams with more awesome Penguins. I have no idea. Based on Dale's guesses on who is out, I think your boy Kennedy is available. (Rug Rats)So how about you just let me have the better teams, and you concentrate on the Tyler Kennedys of the world.Also, keep Jay out. He's too good.damn, why is no one trying to keep ME out? I've won too! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 damn, why is no one trying to keep ME out? I've won too!This crossed my mind, but you were apparently already confirmed.Really, tbh, keep out the Jays, Arps, Adams of the world.More Biatches!At least for ratings purposes.

Untilted 158 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 God, I hate to toot my horn, but it looks like I need to fight for a spot.First of all, I am an overall nice guy. That should count for something or maybe It would be better to mix things up a bit? It might be fun.Second, Broadway was the regular season champ in both the FCHL and FCHL 2 this past season. I am not sure why this should mean something since suckie committed owners would be preferred I would thinkThird, If I say that I will be physically at the draft every year, I will physically be at the draft every year. It is tough for me to argue becuase the other guys who are up for a spot are all great guys and are all deserving Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 John does know a pretty sweet Italian restaurant near Times Square.He also owns the distinction of being the only one to only see me while completely intoxicated, never seeing me in my sober state, with 3 or more iterations.

bdc30 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Does everyone here have me on ignore or something?? lol I've met most of the hockey forum crew, and DN might remember me from the launch party at the Hard Rock (I was the one that brought MarionSauce) I'd be interested, and am from southern ontario Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 New sig. :icon_biggrin:If I get a team, I'll do absolutely everything I can to get an enhanced drivers license or passport on short notice so I can get across the border and back. I can't promise I can attend the draft but I absolutely CAN promise I'll be a great AHL owner. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 it looks like we are down to two spots and it will be decided shortly.I have made my recommendations and opinion. Daniel has some criteria and he will make the decision very soon I believe.We are close Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Reasons to toot for biatch:1) I will be one of the most active owners in the league. Most people in the FCHL know, I come out with something called the popularity ratings. It has absolutely nothing to do with how good a team is, it just pokes fun at all the owners and says how good their team would be doing if it was based on tv ratings. 2) I am from Ottawa, but I will always be available for the draft every year in Toronto. My parents are near the area, so it isn't that far. 3) I get really really happy when I win FCHL games, and get really really sad when my team loses. The FCHL could literally have no money at stake and I would still get depressed when my team loses and uber excited when my team wins. To be honest, the main reason I love the FCHL is just because of bragging rights over those guys. I think that's why I would be awesome for the AHL, I wouldn't just be a normal owner who just posts a lineup and that's it. I would be living, breathing, and dying AHL.

serge 904 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 FWIW. I have expressed my opinion on why we NEED to have Dan (Biatch) in the AHL. Nothing against all the other guys but Biatch is a must.We need owners like Dan who are goofy, funny and a little insane. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafs 142 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 MapleLeafs, do you live in Toronto? If so, those are the magic words for a spot.I live in Newmarket which is 30 minutes north of Toronto. I can make it to the draft location in 15 though. ;)Out of the 4 you had listed (Myself, Adam, Dan, John) I can vouch that all of us are decent guys, 100% dedicated to the leagues we join, and are hockey knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with whichever 2 you choose, and while I'd be disappointed, it wouldn't bother me to be beat out by any of the others. Good luck sirs! Link to post Share on other sites

I too would obviously probably cry if I didn't get a team. But any of the guys listed above, I can guarantee you would never ever leave the AHL. I wouldn't even say there is a 1% chance that they would be like the other teams that left your league, there is a 0% chance that these guys would leave your league. They all live, sleep, breathe, fantasy hockey. Link to post Share on other sites

rinswun 6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 as a brit, i find it bizarre that a lot of Americans don't have a passport. its pretty much the first piece of ID you get over here - well before a driving license or your national insurance number Link to post Share on other sites
