I'm totally in favor of double-picking tomorrow... let's get this thing done.

C Stephen Weiss and D Bryan McCabe

I have only heard positive comments thus far about starting the "lightning round" tomorrow (Saturday) night.  Two picks per team.  I warn people now that I won't be able to proxy on time for people of Sunday night, and may be late again with my own picks.  For this first pass, please select from different positions for your two picks since this may be catching people a little sooner than planned.  After Saturday, anything goes.

Round 8 - John-Michael Liles D

So for Round 9 I'm taking two players?

Yep.  Getting to the hard stuff now.

We're all caught up so you can go now.

Yes, we start round 9 with two players.  For this round (and only this round) keep them at different positions.  I'm warning people, I have company in the house and plans are afoot for tonight and tomorrow night.  DON'T RELY ON ME FOR PROXIES.  Someone else who is willing to be on guard please step up.  Otherwise I won't be making your picks until after the fact.   In fact, I'd love someone to make picks for me too.
