NationDraft Update: New Year. New Leaders!

14 years ago

Me oh me oh my. First off, I must apologize for the lack of Team 1260 NationDraft updates of late. The sparse updates are just the unfortunate product of the crazy holiday season and its seemingly never ending onslaught of food, friends, cheer and Oiler losses. I mean, this is important stuff here. Without these updates, none of you would know where you stand. You wouldn’t have the terrific comment section below to rejoice in your triumphs and give it to Wanye for his Oilercentric draft picks and, as a result of said picks, poor performance in the draft standings. So let’s get down to this, shall we?

Team 1260 NationDraft Upate (as of Jan 3/10)

The Top Ten

1. Young Guns	561	0
2. Calgary Sucks	560	-1
3. Kevo91	560	-1
4. The G.O.A.T	560	-1
5. R Kenny’s Killers	556	-5
6. Inverno76 Oilers	556	-5
7. FTC	556	-5
8. Subaru Shooters	556	-5
9. MoOsEkNuCkLe	556	-5
10. empaul	556	-5

What do we have here? Doth mine eyes deceive me?!? After weeks of total domination by a select few, we seem to have a new collection of leaders in the Top Ten! Who saw this coming!?!

It would seem that “Wiltonclan”, “Sage11” and “Carlo Gambino” have taken a page from the Edmonton Oilers’ playbook and have turned a good start into an out-of-the-playoffs-by-Christmas-epic-fail.

By taking a quick look at the picks for the new Top Ten vs. the old Top Ten, it would look as if the new guard gained top spots thanks to the recent first-rate play of Nicklas Backstrom, Ilya Kovalchuk, and Eric Staal. Good job new Top Ten!

Now, I’m sure most of you are just dying to know how you stack up against the Oilersnation crew. It’s probably the only reason you are reading this article. Well here you go.

This Is How We Do It

83. Robin Brownlee	539	-22
395. Jason Gregor	508	-53
544. Towel Boy Vs. Mothra	493	-68
671. The Pacinos	478	-83
749. Bonsignore Citizens Brigade	466	-95
872. Lord Wanye’s Steeds	427	-134

I still feel I have it in me for a late charge. I’m gunning for you Brownlee.

Now it’s time for my favorite part of the NationDraft update: Stupidly awesome team names.

Honorable Mention

172. Kathy Bates’ Face 529 -32

Scary.

217. Best. Team. Ever 524 -37

Judging by the 217^th place standing I’d say this is the best team ever in name only.

518. Cooly McCoolstein 495 -66

Is it weird that I was very close to actually naming my team “Awesome von Awesomstein”?

Well, it’s good to see some new teams making a stand for top spot in the NationDraft. It just goes to show you that nothing is for certain in the world of NationDrafting. Let everyone know where you currently stand via the comments section. We love gloaters and trash talk here.

Love,

The Towel Boy
