What about [b]"Mr. Excited"[/b] aka the guy who shouts his picks every round too early and tips off the opposition? - Jeff Angus Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:38:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1293 My first draft this year I drafted the team that was good for 2002... These are good! - derek Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:39:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1291 They are all excellent, but THE "CALLS PLAYERS BY NICKANAMES LIKE HE KNOWS THEM" GUY [b][/b] one is right on the money. I hate that f#$ker. Lids, Vinny, Kipper, Gabby, Kovo, and The Bouwmeister. I could kill that guy. - Bryan Paisley Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:08:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1287 A few more types, for the fun of it: - The guy who got one big sleeper: He acts like his invented a super-secret NASA formula to predict a sleeper, and he got his guy this year. He's not telling us right now (in fact, he usually shield his cheat list around like he got Bill Gates bank account in there), but he assures us that we'll all be floored when he will unleash his super-secret mega sleeper on us. Usually, either someone else picks the guy before him (in which case his whole season is lost) or the guy is a stiff. - The social guy: He's not really into fantasy hockey (sometimes, he's not really into hockey at all), except there's no way is missing a draft is there's people and beer included. He's chatty during the draft, except he doesn't talk about his picks or hockey in general. He always forgets that it is his turn to pick and can be talked into wasting a good pick for comedy's sake. - The guy in there for the money: The 20$ entry fee means a lot to him, and he's there to collect some interest on his investment. He doesn't care as much about winning as he wants to make some money. He would finish last in the prize money went to the last guy. His comments always talks about the money involved (with this pickup I'll put my hand on the 200$; you're saying this only because you don't want me cashing in....) - The guy who doesn't make the difference between fantasy hockey and real life hockey: He takes defensive D-Man and gritty forward. Overvalues win over GAA and SV% whe picking his goalies. He builds him team like a NHL 09 team and figures that if he get good players, he'll have good stats. - Louis-Alexandre Jalbert Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:18:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1286 You also forgot "[b]The I didn't do any research or bring any books, or make a list, can I borrow yours?[/b]" He is the guy who will blithy ask without cracking a smile if he can borrow all your hard researched material (including your dobber list GASP!) because they were too lazy and ill prepared to do anything. The general reaction is the "go to hell" or hissing followed by "My precious, My precious, mine!". Usually someone will feel pity and give him a useless copy of the Hockey News that came out in June. He then transforms into the ill prepared guy that holds everyone up after the early rounds. - Ryan Lenethen Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:06:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1283 "Thanks for all the great feedback fellas ... it makes passing up sex with my wife in order to write a column almost worth it!" That's funny stuff. - STONE.

Come to think of it, the worst is the one that does not even call. - MilleFeuilles Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:54:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1281 BRILLIANT!!!! - Andrew Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:42:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1279 I knew this article would get the boys talking and I was right. Nice additions Finnbar and Stone. Isn't it great how as you read the article, a guy in your pool pops into your head as you read each one? Thanks for all the great feedback fellas ... it makes passing up sex with my wife in order to write a column almost worth it! - Chris Burns Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:24:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1278 oh, yeah... "flaming cats"????? I spat snot all over my computer screen. - Finnbar Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:44:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1277 Great article! And it really only scratches the surface.... "Calls out names" Guy: when unprepared guy is leafing through his books, has already tried to pick 5 players that are already gone (we have a beer fine for this, as do most leagues I hope), and can't give you a name, this guy will shout out players across the room. There are 8 picks ahead of him, what does he care? Calls-out-names guy should be shot on sight and left out front of the draft room as a warning to others. "Trash-talking for no reason" guy: usually a new guy to your pool.... will not shut up about how he's going to school you all this year, you don't even have a chance, why did you guys even show up? Then proceeds to crap the bed, getting confused about who is taken and drafting out of turn 3 or 4 times. Has never finished in the money. Most likely never will. "Blow-your-wad" guy (auction only): every single year, spends all his cash on 5 of the first 10 players out, then has to sit there fuming as he is shut out of every other good player. Curses himself for being such a putz as he fills out his squad with Radek Bonk and Brooks Orpik. Guaranteed to do it again the following year. "Running commentary" guy: thinks the draft is being broadcast on TSN and he is the play-by-play announcer. After every pick he will tell someone his opinion, and how he thinks the draft is going. "A good move, he needs a goalie."/"He's going big on Sharks this year!"/"That guy was the steal of the draft!" Um, who are you talking to? "Sneaks up on you" guy: sits there the whole day with a smug little smile on his face and makes the odd snide comment. Otherwise is silent except for his picks. You assume he's a newbie and doesn't want to look silly..... until you're breaking down the teams the next day and he's blowing everyone out of the water. And he took all your late-round 'sleeper' picks. And your sister just called and you find out she slept with him last night. I hate this guy. There have to be more.... Nicely done Chris! - Finnbar Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:42:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1276 Thought I'd add the "The More Fan than Fantasy Guy" -- he drafts players from his team a round too early, gets pissed when someone takes his team's players, and refuses to draft any players in his team's division b/c he doesn't want to root against his team 6 times a year. - STONE. Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:31:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1270 This is my rookie year of fantasy hockey. I was headed pall-mall to becoming an amalgamation of the top twelve personality types. As fate would have it, I stumbled across Dobberhockey.com. With the Dobber Draft Guide now in hand, I intend to "just plain kick as" and even bring the air freshener with me to the john. - ducat2 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:16:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1269 Oh lord - I think I need to take the day off work to deal with the pain of laughing to hard. - Shoeless Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:51:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1268 Awesome stuff. Really made me lmao. Great to have you back, Burnsy. - Jake Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:41:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2220-it-takes-all-types-to-make-a-draft#comment-1266 Did he just call you Burnsy? We know which guy at the draft he is! He's a combo draftee; drinks too much and nickname guy. That's a lethal combo. - 2legit2quit Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:09:51 +0100
