FOFC NHL All-Time Team Challenge (Round 4)
 























~~~~~
There are only a few positions left to fill so let's set a short deadline for those who need it.

Round 4 Deadline: Saturday, May 15th, 11:59 p.m.

Otherwise, it's time to set your forward lines, defence pairings, starting goaltender and write a paragraph or two explaining your selections, coach, lines, and why your team is the best. Note: The points bid on players will not be displayed for voters so set your lines as you see fit. I will add stats however along the lines of GP, G, A, Pts, PIM.

Lines & Paragraph Deadline: Friday, May 21st, 11:59 p.m.

Karim 05-14-2004 12:43 AM

Question:

Do you guys want me to include any stats for the voters or just lines and a paragraph?

Draft Dodger 05-14-2004 12:50 AM

this looks a lot like the round 3 chart...

Vince 05-14-2004 01:00 AM

I don't know much about Hockey (more than the average American, I'm sure...but still not much), but Team #4 looks pretty strong.

I reckon stats would be helpful. They don't tell the whole story, but tell some of it.

Stats could help, although they're so era-dependant that they don't really tell the whole story.

I think we need to be able to write more than a paragraph, frankly. I'd like to write a line or two about each player on my team, or at the very least each line combination. I realize that could be a bit more work than we want to get into. I'm not saying I want to go Chief Rum on you, I just worry that FOFC won't know who some of these guys are. (Especially Team One... who drafted them, Buccaneer?)

I like Finnish forwards.

I agree. A few lines for each guy and then a line or two for why the line combo will work would be good, I imagine. I don't know too much about a lot of these guys. You're right about Team 1. That's old school. Very old school...

Yes but I think everyone got at least 1 player they bid on.

I know HB stole two guys I REALLY wanted! :mad: :D

As long as no one goes Chief on me, I don't mind a line or two about every player, line, coach, team overall, etc. That will help tell more of a story.

I'll be adding stats over the next week while everyone works on their paragraphs. Since there's going to be a little more writing, I think I'll push the deadline back until Friday.

Karim 05-14-2004 01:57 PM

Positions that still need filling:

Team 1 (1 defenceman) - done
Team 2 (1 forward) - done
Team 3 (2 forwards) - done
Team 5 (1 forward) - done

Oops. I am sorry (not really). :D

Karim 05-14-2004 02:48 PM

Ok, guys. I'm using Bill Barber as a sample for displaying stats and info. Tell me what you think:



He didn't win any major awards but I would have included them as well. Too much info?

I just want to get some sort of consensus before working on every player...

looks adequate to me.

I think that looks good too. Could add Hall of Fame status, but that wouldn't be fair to players still playing or not eligible yet.

Karim 05-14-2004 03:07 PM

Actually, I was thinking about including Hall of Fame status instead of 1st and 2nd team All-Stars.

The All-Star teams only started in 1930 and I only have an accurate list up to 97-98.

Karim 05-14-2004 03:20 PM

dola,

Just found an updated list of all-stars. Good to go...

Draft Dodger 05-14-2004 03:51 PM

well, when I was breaking down my team stats (yes, I am lame), I prorated everything to a /82 games stat. I think it makes it easier to compare quickly that way.

Maple Leafs 05-14-2004 03:54 PM

OK, so here's the real question... Once we post our summaries, will the other players have a chance to shoot them down? Can I claim that Tim Kerr was the greatest winger of all time without getting called for it?

Karim 05-14-2004 05:42 PM

I would think you could try and justify anything you want in your summary. It's up to the voters to decide if it's reasonable.

Anyway, I've finished the stats for Team 4 and will post it shortly...

Karim 05-14-2004 05:55 PM

Team 4 sans paragraphs...


Johnny93g 05-14-2004 09:26 PM

That looks great.....nice job......

Karim 05-14-2004 10:02 PM

Thanks.

I forgot to put that Scotty is in the Hall of Fame but that's been fixed...

I'm ignoring the Calder, Masterton and Jennings trophies...

Teams 2, 3 and 4 are complete with stats and awards...

Still waiting on Team 1 for one more defenceman...

wheels 05-14-2004 10:50 PM

karim,

that's above and beyond the call of duty. thanks for your hard work. this should be a lot of fun.

Karim 05-15-2004 03:37 PM

Thanks wheels. I think it's good to have a quick synopsis of a guy's career all in one place.

All teams are now filled! Once paragraphs and line combinations are in, we can turn it over to membership.
