2016 NHL Playoffs

@swenny916
@pauljrinaldijr

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I'll reach out one more time to entrants from last year that haven't responded and if I don't hear back or get a "nay" from them, I'll have you guys added. I wanted to get this ironed out (at least with returning folks) by Saturday, so I'd like to get you a definitive answer by Sunday if that works for you. In the meantime, review the requirements and check out the 2015 thread for representative beer that was sent out just to be sure you're good with it (not overly daunting, but just saying...)

 

So to recap - this is who I have in, based on "yay" responses or openings filled with "nay" responses

In: @disGRUNTled ,@clake ,@gopens44 ,@st9647v3 ,@AndrewSmith ,@Damian74Shensky ,@johnyb ,@ChrisL24481
@Lazhal (in for past participant @JNForsyth ) @tripelhops (in for past participant @ohyeahitsmuff)

No need to respond unless the above info is inaccurate.

We also have @ninjembro who will fill out a 16th spot if we have no other takers, but for now he's our "alert 5 aircraft"

I need to hear from the following by tomorrow if you want in, otherwise I'll fill spots with folks that have responded and then I'll "take it to the street" to quote Michael McDonald or whatever the hell his name is...

@concealed
@sholle
@twofacedmonster
@Blowofftube (looks like no longer on here - probably not a good sign for further participation...)
@AngusOg

No big deal either way, just wanted to make sure I gave all of you first right to refusal and plenty of time to respond before I carried on!

 

The hell? Did you offer up some beer to Lundqvist to turn in a stinker against a crap Carolina team?!?!? I thought I'd have another great goalie start in the bank, but here comes that offensive juggernaut - the 'Canes?

Man, those categories flipped on me quick, hope I can make up ground this weekend!

 

No problem - like I said above, once I get a firm message of "nah" from folks I'll cast invites about like a drunken fool. Well, a drunken fool counting to 16.

And yes, there will be a draft held to see what order folks pick in. I may reach out to an impartial BA to draw the names.

 

We've made it to 16 entrants after having not heard back from the other few this past weekend. Sorry for the delay in getting this finalized, but I got a bit more busy than I thought this weekend, and then I spent all afternoon yesterday laughing at the FLyers.....

@ninjembro , we were able to bump you out per your wishes, but would value your color commentary on crap selections and major disappointments (Capitals, cough cough...) if you would feel so inclined

Here's everyone I have (numbers are just for me to keep track and NOT, repeat NOT the draft order):

1. @disGRUNTled
2. @clake
3. @gopens44
4. @st9647v3
5. @AndrewSmith
6. @Damian74Shensky
7. @johnyb
8. @ChrisL24481
9. @tripelhops
10. @Lazhal
11. @Acgilligan
12. @jpatag66
13. @nhindian
14. @swenny916
15. @pauljrinaldijr

And last but not certainly least, the legendary @PA-Michigander (16)

I need everyone to send me an IM with your address, cell phone number and email address. Once I have evderyone's info we will proceed with the draft selection using the randomizer thingy that @johnyb has suggested.

Any questions, clarification needed or whatnot, let me know. Otherwise, we'll get this rolling.

 

Yep. Gonna randomize that draft order Monday so folks can make their selections.

 

Can't see why not, as I don't think that last bit of shuffling will matter too much

 

Well, looks like this randomizer thingy doesn't make nice with the person using it!! That's ok, I'll ride my crap pick all the way to game 5 of the first round!

Seriously though, here's the order and what all of you should have received in your emails:

@swenny916 - you are on the clock! Post your pick here and tag the next person up. 1 - 12 or so should be fine, but last 4 picks will probably come down to what it looks like Sunday. All picks need to be done by start of playoffs (obviously) and I will repost all picks in one nice post.

Before making your pick, PLEASE review who has already been taken.

Thanks and good luck!
