NHL Off-Season 2014 |OT2| - Dan Cleary

Whelp, just got a speeding ticket for going 75 in a 60 on the highway in the left lane. I honestly blame it on being the first day back in Washington after driving the past two weeks in Detroit where the speed limit is 70. Of course it was in a speed trap where 3 biker cops had set up shop. End of the month, gotta fill up those quotas.

Yeah fuck those cops for catching someone going 15 over. At least you weren't black am I right!
 
I was punching an Australian cop in the face while yelling THIS IS FOR FERGUSON and got tasered.

I watched the Mighty Ducks last night and I've never been more hungry for hockey. Adam Banks calling Bombay a cakeeater is the biggest case of somebody using insults people have used against them at other people. Get your own insults, nerd.
 
Most American cops are pieces of shit (the ones I dealt with at least). Awful Australian cops are about 50/50. You can tell within the first 2 minutes of dealing with them which type they are.

I'm not denying I was speeding. I just hate end of the month quotas. I've been pulled over 4 times in my life and every time was within the last week of a month for speeding in some area where there are never cops. Never got off with a warning or reduced ticket either, yet all my friends have, kinda irks me. Cop wasn't an asshole at least. You could tell he was trying to get as many done as possible cause I only had to wait like 5 minutes for him to write it up. I still blame myself for being in Detroit mode and not Seattle mode. Oh well, pay the 144 bucks and move on.

Oh, and 15 over in the fast lane here is normal. I was going with the flow of traffic, just unlucky to be the one he picked.

Well, 120 km/h is basically the speed everyone drives on the 401 in the passing lane, and 110 km/h is usually about the minimum in the right lane save for transports and slow ass dudes going the actual speed limit.

So 15 over isn't really much by Ontario standards on a highway. Driving through towns and cities though, people don't go over.

Yep and especially in spots where there's a school zone or town area where the speed limit drops down. Cops will always be hiding there. As for the 401, I'm usually going 135-140 km/h in the left lane and will occasionally hit 160 or more to get around some idiot who shouldn't even be in that lane.

Did the fantasy league open up for more teams or is it staying at 10?

Its 14 right now but I think thats full at this point to, waiting on 3 current invites to accept and I have to reinvite wsox (?) maybe.

If we can get another person I can do 16 and get you in Red, since there has to be an even number of teams.
 
Holy hell, I don't think I've even interacted with more than 10 in my 32 years. Three of them were even pretty nice.

As a tourist, you tend to politely ask local police questions whenever you can.

As a scrubby-looking guy wearing a backpack, you tend to get asked questions a fair bit.

If I was black, I'm sure that number would've doubled.

Jesus fucking christ Dastardly, if you're interacting with that many cops I've got news: They're dicks because they're tired of seeing you.

I'm the little kid in primary school who's got a finger 5cm from your face going "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU"

Alright, it's not a big deal if you can't. If someone else want's in, I'll jump in, and if not I'll just skip this year.

Yea so if anyone else is interested there is 1 more spot left
drafting is going to be really interesting if theres 16 teams :p
 
And remember: The first rule of Fantasy League is "nobody cares how many points you picked up today so please stop posting about it"

Unless it was like, 4 goals, 5 assists and a 52 save SO blown in the last 5 seconds by a bad Mike Green deflection.

If it gets much bigger we could also potentially split into two smaller leagues if people want as well.

But then again depth picks + rookies are a lot of fun when one league gets this big.

If you had to pick 6 players from this lineup to keep as keepers in a salary capped (based on current caps and salaries) multi-stat (goals, assists, +/-, hits, pin, gwg) head-to-head league, who would you pick:

Z Parise
C Price
N MacKinnon
A Ovechkin
T Hertl
V Tarasenko

My six of your choices. It was between Hossa and Parise for the last spot and I figured that Hossa is older on a team that might struggle cap wise in 5-6 years whereas Parise is a bit younger and is on a team that might not.

But the bottom five of that list are the best options there. Parise or Hossa is up to preference. Don't see much of a reason to keep a defender based on how points are awarded in your league aside from +/-.

B Seabrook

MacKinnon is an automatic. I'm tempted to keep Hertl due to low salary - Acid, is he going to be amazing this year or big question mark with his knee?

Right. Don't you lose your license and get towed on the spot if you ar caught driving 50kph over the limit?

His knee is totally fine apparently. I'm hoping ~50-60 points for him this year.

I need to know the TSN Power Rankings for Tabris' dick. Who do I draft in the upcoming Tabris' dick fantasy league? My first pick is definitely going to his left ball. It's gonna be a sleeper for sure.

My dick works now :) Just had to swear off porn totally.

And no Canucks because Sedins were already drafted and set as keepers when I joined the league.

I imagine it will be difficult for you not to watch the Broncos anymore

Free porn, that doesn't count. Never turn off free porn.

Even Australian hockey gets more ESPN time than the NHL.

Whenever I'm in the states, it's impossible to get any hockey news. I dunno how you guys (Americans) do it. In Canada, there's hockey news at almost any time on TV.
