CRAP!


nice choice....

Don't worry, there is another demi-octogenerian left.

What's a demi-octogenerian?

Octo being 8, demi being half? 4? 40? 400?

By the way, I sent PMs to the next three, and after that it's Clutch for two more picks. Hard to believe -- feels like just a little while ago we were deciding whether to wait for him or make his picks. Now it's two rounds later. I checked my Outbox earlier today and my PM to him (sent Monday afternoon) is still sitting there, meaning that he still hasn't logged on and checked his PMs since then.

Well, like Blake, this guy is in his 40s. By hockey age standards he's an octogenarian (in his 80s), but only half-way in normal human terms.

So octogenarian means 40? *

*I should have just googled that. :^^^^:

Its cool. I have my pick.

I just went back to my spreadsheet where, in the margins, I'd added potential 70 point players and .9+ ppg players. Both lists are now empty. Checking The Score's projections, no more players at 70+, but there are still 7 at 60+.

Guys (and gals) we are getting close to that time when we can throw caution to the wind and just start picking players who will probably get 40 with a little upside beyond that, but we really like them. Fan favorites like Fisher, Foligno.

I'll be here for a while, although I'll be stepping away from the keyboard a few times.
