Got time for another hockey pool in your life?: If anyone is interested, I, or rather my alter-ego, set up another hockey pool with a much different format; Pick 20 skaters. No roster moves once the puck drops on the season. G, A, SHP, GWG are the only categories. Pretty simple, right? And low maintenance. Everybody loves low maintenance. Anyway, feel free to join. Sorry, you have to register, but the process is pretty painless.
ChuckAmatosManBoobs is in.

I can't remember which Thornton is which, but I'm in.

You want Jo-Jo Boxer Thornton.
posted by NoMich at 01:16 PM on September 26, 2006
DrJohn, you want Big Mama Thornton.
posted by chicobangs at 01:45 PM on September 26, 2006
You want Henry Thornton, defender of the Bullionist position.

You want celebrated playwright Thornton Wilder.
posted by chicobangs at 05:37 PM on September 26, 2006
No, chico, you're thinking of Thornton Hickspittle the 3rd, not the famous Bollywood director, Thornton Wilder. BTW, Mr. Wilder is the inventor of the pan-shallow-double-hickup shot you see so much in South Central Canadian cinema these days.

Ah, yes. You are so right. That camera angle never fails to bring a tear to my underpants.

Love low maintenance so I am in. I had to leave one of my picks out because all I had for a first name was the letter M and there were two. Better to pick someone else than to pick someone with only 5 points last year! Another curse of being a new hockey fan. (Who was too lazy to look it up tonight).

I'm in and I'm gonna kick you guys right in the ding-ding!

I'm gonna F all you guys in the B. And then later, maybe I'll win this hockey pool.

Oh, goody! Another hockey pool for me to dominate!
posted by grum@work at 04:18 PM on September 27, 2006
If you can dominate this one without having to rely on 6 transactions a week, trawling for this week's player on a hot straek, and sewing up better than average goaltending then more power to ya! (mind you, that whole strategy has never worked for me). seriously, I am very interested to see if your hockey pool acumen extends beyond the yahoo pool. best of luck. we'll all be watching. bwa ha!

What if we all pick the same 20 players?

I think the universe collapses into itself.

I picked nothing but 4th liners.

Speaking of hockey, here is my favorite pic of the ones I took at the NJ vs Washington preseason game. The Devils player is David Hale, I don't know who the Capital player is. I'll post more pics later.

Finally, a SpoFi hockey pool that I'm not too late to join.

Hey Fris, your pic is missing in that link. Did you move it to a different folder in Photobucket?
posted by wingnut4life at 02:50 PM on September 29, 2006
Sorry wingnut, that I did. Here are all of the pics.

Hey, the Giant Center, that's down in my neck of the woods. Love the elbow to the chops picture. Nice camera work.

Much better, Fris-sk8r. Nice pics. Man I can't wait for the regular season!

I just noticed you can look at everybody's roster....was that always the case? or are rosters now fixed?
posted by garfield at 02:34 PM on October 04, 2006
Qbert, what the hell were you thinking with that roster?
