MessageIf someone can get a hold of Shane, that would be great. But like I said, whether you can't or won't rectify the problem doesn't really matter. The problem is still there in that the franchise is being neglected. Again, nothing personal, Shane may be in Ethiopia carrying sick children to the hospital on his back. He's a hero but he's out of the FHL.

I would be in favor of freezing the Bruins roster and taking this month to sort things out. If Shane can demonstrate that he's willing and able to address the problems, then great, welcome back. If not, we find a new GM and pass the team off to them in it's entirety. If thats our route, we should aim to pick someone by the end of Dec to give them some time to get acclimated before the Jan midseason.

I agree with Duke about taking a week to make sure about this.

Balls in your court then, Rob. Or Shane, if you happen to read all this...

Messagelol @ epp

totally agree about at least making contact with shane to hear his side... i've jumped the gun without hearing out both sides of the story before in pools and it can lead to making the wrong decision. for all we know it could be a family emergency...

publish shane's phone number and cam can set up the 4 hour rotation for everyone to take turns calling him..

let's move quickly on this, frozen rosters are no fun. i'd say we focus on reaching shane with a deadline of a week or less...

after that i'm looking forward to the candidate interviews.. derksen do you remember when we interviewed cranny for him to get his spot back in the DSSHP? that was awesome haha..

phil and i have a good pooler dude as well.. i'm looking for strong pool references from our candidates,, active, competitive etc..

i vote yes, pending an explanation...

also not kidding... if you're busy rob, give me his phone number i'll call him myself... let's get this moving...

MessageThat's a good point...in fact, the other day Rob and I were talking down the street when he suddenly darted in to a phone booth. About thirty seconds later, Shane came out of there and I didn't see Rob the rest of the day. Wierd, eh?

Phil , I didn't mean to imply you have more free time than the rest of us. I mean to imply that you're a loser. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

If we bring a new GM in to manage the Bruins, will they assume responsibility for that team's debts?

MessageI vote to have someone take over, I'm all for giving him a voice for the latest stretch of inactivity but the unpaid fees is a 6 or 7 year problem is too big of an issue. I also think new blood adds excitement and activity, which is really what fantasy hockey should be about.

Sidenote: I probably have less free time than all of you, but I'm just always at my computer... and always ready to procrastinate. smilie

Wait a second... Rob's the only one that knows Shane? have we ever seen Rob and Shane in the same place? I call for an external investigation to make sure that Rob isn't running a farm team under the Chowtown alias! smilie smilie

MessageI vote to freeze the Chow Town roster effective immediately. The FHL now should control his roster until a new GM is in place to take over his roster. I have a candidate in mind who would jump at the chance to take over Chowtowns existing roster.

MessageHey guys,
I haven't weighed in on this because I wanted to hear from Shane.
Rob, can you call him since you appear to be the only person that actually knows him?
I think we have to be careful about ganging up on people without hearing what they have to say...I also think poor communication isn't really a reason to boot someone (since not everybody can be Phil when it comes to this pool..no offense Phil, I love your enthusiasm. You've reignited a passof for the FHL that I thought had died in my soul a long time ago).
Missed deadlines, however, are a bigger issue and missed payments even more so.

Anyway, in the interim perhaps the FHL should take over the Bruins. There is the issue of an oustanding draft pick that team has. Or, if you guys have other people interested in joining the pool, we should have that discussion.
I'd really rather not dissolve the Bruins though...if Shane can't run them, perhaps someone else can.

MessageI vote for removal.

MessageAlright, I've heard everything I need to hear.

I guess we put it to a vote. The vote is for whether you think Shane should be stripped of his team due to one or all of the following reasons:
1. nonpayment of dues
2. missing league deadlines
3. lack of communication

Vote by Wed night at the latest.

MessageLooks like Ballard was a little upset at not being called up by GM Derksen. What kind of tool takes a two handed swing at his own goalies head?

Thats the kind of intensity that Goon brings to the table...
