All Star Game Sugestion

[PIHAGOALIE]

What does everyone think about this? There are 4 divisions in PIHA. If each division had their own all star team (which would be 4 teams). You could run a double elimination tournament that would determine who has the best division in the league. I am partial to the Rocky Mountain Division hehehe. I do know that all 4 teams would be awesome!! Just an idea. I just think that by having 2 teams worked out well last year because of how many divisions there was. Since we added a whole bunch of teams and talent. There will be alot of players that are very deserving of playing in the all star game that will not be able to based on popular picks, politics and all that other stuff. All in all this is just a suggestion but I think it would be alot of fun for the fans, players and all that would be involved. Let me know what you think, who knows maybe i am completly wrong on the whole thing hahaha!!

people on this site really need to stop stealing my ideas...

...and did anyone figure out what divisions are on what teams? i hope they've scrapped whatever the north/south idea was... there are so many teams in the league, each division should have an allstar team, then have a 4 team round-robin, with a finals and a 3rd place game...

and if every division has a team, and all the teams are balanced as in every team is represented by at least one player, i think the midwest division would roll as their talent is spread out the best, not to mention they arguably have the most to go around anyway. however i think the bandits and the growl are as talented as any all star team you could make from any division. both teams could easily have 5 all stars each.

The league has had this event planned for months. It would be simply impossible to do. You forget that the All-stars are being flown in, given accomodations and transportation, uniforms, ect all at the expense of the league. Your asking them to double that expense and it is simply not going to happen. An all-star should simply be that, the very best of the league. In the NHL you can name a large list of good players that don't make the all-star game.

true enough flynner, but if its the best of the best, with inline being 4 on 4 and there being 25 teams, figure a roster of 12 and 2 goalies, thats 28 all-stars... then you need to do away with every team being represented right? (probably should have done it last year lol) i guess we'll just have to wait and see how it ends up being handled and offer suggestions from there since you're right that its most certainly too late...

one alternative, one that obviously not everyone would like, is having 2 separate all star events in the east and the west. it would save on travel for the league and it gets more people involved, but half of the league misses out on some of the big name players like yoder, yingling, thomson, sullivan, pinhiero, etc... i'm sure it's a lot less to rent a bus between denver and st. louis than it is to fly everyone out to colorado. and the east teams, everyone is in reasonable driving distance to philly, so more savings there, just throw out a little money for gas or something...

hello snake, just wanted to set the record straight. i did not steal any ideas from anyone. i never even read your post so dont give yourself to much credit. anybody that knows me understands that i am a very respectful person and somewhat of an idealist. by no means would i write on someone elses idea. hey if you came up with it first, cool by me. i would consider it two minds thinking alike. i am just trying to think of ways to better our league and making it as interesting and as fun as possible for everyone involved. so, before you start throwing out cheap comments on people that you do not even know, think about what you are saying first before you just put down your comments on the chat board. Unless you do not care what people think about you, then if thats the case go ahead and keep writing whatever you want and no one will take you serious any more.

Coloradans don't really grasp the east coast sense of sarcastic humor....lived there for 8 years....I know

[PIHAGOALIE]

If he was joking around, thats one thing. however when you read someones posts you can not tell if that person is jokeing around , being serious, sarcastis or whatever. Words do not have any emotion. They are as they are read. I can not judge someones emotions when I do not even know who he is. If it was a joke, thats fine and I am man enough to apologize however reading it on this end it did not come off as one. I will never disrespect anyone on hear regardless of team affiliation or where you reside or what. i just expect the same considerations is all.

Easy big fella, take a deep breath, exhale, now re-read the post. No need to attack people, we all just want whats best for all of the players. If that means repeating ideas or 2 people thinking alike than good that means its a common interest.

[TheSnake22]

sorry buddy wasn't trying to start anything, just marking my territory lol... we're all on the same team here... if anything i'm jealous because i'm supposed to be in vail enjoying the 40 inches of pow that my brother and his friends have been skiing since last thursday... but seriously i don't think my one comment really earned that kind of response... its not like i was taking shots at your mother or your manhood or anything, i thought it was pretty harmless... i was definitely not trying to put you down...

a suggestion though, maybe you should have checked out the other big thread titled "all star game" and you would have seen my post. on a different board you would have gotten it way worse for starting a new thread when a perfectly good identical thread is sitting right next to it...

and i thought the second part of your post was a fine question and i responded, maybe we could talk about that instead...

[GROWL99]

Hey, how about we have two all-star games, instead of one...oops, was that suggested already ? lol For the record, anybody that knows "The Snake" understands that he is as good a guy as you'll find, and hardly the type to bash anyone. If you really want to see some bashing, go back and look at the messages I've been sending over the last year or so to Ying, Troho, Flynn, and Snake, just to name a few...

I guess you got your new bi-focals in since you can read small print again, congrats Gramps.

The real mystery is how he got in touch with you. Unless they installed phones in munchkinland, he must have followed the yellow brick road to get to you...lol
