This league is a lot of fun Superstarov. :good:

It's revived my interest in hockey. In fact, it's my favorite fantasy league between football, basketball and hockey. I found a favorite player (Lecavalier) and I'm going to root for the Lightning (always followed them from a distance since Bill Davidson owned them).

The other day, I even ordered a Lightning jersey with Lacavalier's number 4 (but my name) on it. Can't wait till it arrives.

We need a hockey smiley. Maybe one with a Potato slamming a Russian into the boards. :nerner:

P.S. Don't let Slippy read this. He gets really ticked when I mention HOCKEY.

That's awesome. I'm glad everyone is having a good time. I have been EXTREMELY busy lately, so thanks for keeping the banter up in here.

SS, you got PM.

Woody kicked my butt. What do you do when you have 2 SHO and his goalies rack up 5 wins in a week?

I need more goalscorers...

First, I should have kicked Micro's butt a lot worse. His goalies went bananas. I should have won 3 out of the four catagories (and only got one.)

Tater is next. The war is on!! Only half my guys are playing most days, so I'm only playing with half a deck. BUT, I can beat some guy from that COW COLLEGE with half a deck any day.

THE big game is Saturday!! Tater can only look on in envy.

When Saturday is over, the Tater will be COOKED!!!!

Sorry Woody. Taters win it 7-4. :cheerlie-GOAL:

Looks like you'll need to eat your words instead of Fried Taters.:chef2:

Great match. Much closer than the score would indicate. Rob Brind'amour almost singlehandedly beat me and Selanne had a great Sunday with 5 helpers.

Next up...the squad from Ann Arbor, Russia.

Tater got me. That's two weeks in a row that I hit a hot team. Bezeach got me last week. My guys played well, no complaints. Maybe Red Line can be removed this year. He's next.

I'll get'ya next time!!:kleenex:

Kudos to Bezeach for kicking all of our butts.

Good match Super. I gotcha 6-5 ,but considering I had around 8 or so more guys playing than you did this week your guys did really well.

I'll pay for it next week against Jammer. After outnumbering you by so many, I have to imagine I'll be short next week. I'm scared to look. :peep:

Bring it on Jammer man. My guys are ready.:gun1:


We want Lotsa :cheerlie-GOAL:s for Tater

TATER:

You better watch your behind because I'm a'commin'.

I've got an easy mark this week in Super. Should be able to finish him off a lot better than you did.

ISN'T THIS FUN!! :stirthepot: :makmiday: :party2: :burp: :lol:

You've got a great squad woody. Nice free agent moves. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder and rooting against your team (nothing personal).

Go Super go! Super's guys are capable of exploding on any given week so watch out. His goalies are pretty good too. He is no easy mark, believe me.

But the team we all need to watch is Bezeach. He drafted well and is putting too much daylight between himself and the pack.

And you better watch your hiney too because Jammers team is HOT on YOUR tail.

TATER:

No need to worry about Bezeach. Those beach-bums are only hot while the sun and the chicks are out. Once the sun goes down, he'll cool off.

And no need to worry about Jammer either. Those 5-5 records aren't good for anyone but the Lions.


:pound:

And you better watch your hiney too because Jammers team is HOT on YOUR tail.

Yeah, and once I finish off Tater's Tots this week I'll let you know what 2nd place feels like. 13-0 here I come!

JAMMER:

Your chance of going 13-0 is not as good as the Lions going 8-8. Neither is ever going to happen in our lifetime.

Just take your 5-5 and be happy!! :stirthepot:

JAMMER:

He has 3 guys playing to my zero guys.

Score...this may change but currently after one guy played:

Taters 1

Jammer 0 (He got a minus 1 in the plus minus).:pound:

Yeah, and once I finish off Tater's Tots this week I'll let you know what 2nd place feels like. 13-0 here I come!

It looks like you may get that! :ouch:

It looks like you may get that! :ouch:

My boy Huet has been on FIRE lately.

I figured you'd take at least 3 of the 4 goalie categories, but if he keeps this up and if I can get a decent week from Raycroft and both of your goalies come down with 168 hour flus, I might be ok there.

My team isn't built for +/-. I think I've lost that cat every week so far. I'm ok at face offs, but my biggest strengths are the offensive stats.

It should be a good battle this week.

Dang. If Kipper stopped that last goal I'd be up 5-4 or something instead of you kicking my butt. Phenauf would have had the game winner instead of someone else, plus I'd have save % and G.A.A. Thats 3 cats I grab based on one goal. :hurt:Good thing it's early in the week.

I dunno, you're taking it to me. Lots of goals, lots of assists, and a hot goalie!

Oh well, woulda, shoulda, coulda.

To add insult to injury, today they took away my hockey win over super and made it 5-5. Weird! I don't care about the one point...but I lost bragging rights! :)

Here I sit, trapped between Spuds and Duds.

My guys are injured, my goalies give up too many goals, and I can't seem to find the magic potion.

Hopefully, Brenden Morrow and Wade Redden will come back from their injuries and start playing up to their career stats.

Hopefully, Yashin will only be out 2 weeks, not 4.

Hopefully Broduer will win a game without giving up 6 goals in the process.

The only thing I can count on is Brind'Amour winning 50+ faceoffs a week. (My team has gotten well over 100+ faceoff wins every week.)

Its enough to make an old man pull out his hair (at least what's left of it.)

But then things are tough everywhere. Millen is still with the Lions, Big Ben is underachieving in Chicago, and Darko is moving ever so slowly toward the HOF.

Hopefully, I can slip by Spuds into second place, and leave Duds and Super receeding in my rear view mirror.

ISN'T THIS FUN???!!!:stirthepot:

Hey Slippy, you still alive?

I've had a trade offer in to you since last season...

I'm picking up steam. It is good to have 2 players from the Lightning, 3 from the Red Wings and 4 from the Penguins.

All you've got is steam.

When tater and I get through with you, you'll be out of steam.

Your best hope is to lead the second division.

:stirthepot::makmiday::wedgie:

The Taters may fire their coach!

The GM brought in a bunch of good players and the dumb coach:nerd2: can't figure out who to play or when to play them.

Two weeks ago against a very tough Jammer team the coach cost the team a couple of points by playing a guy on Sunday who lost the plus/minus category.

So last week, remembering this lesson, he sat two goalies on Saturday in apprehension of losing the averages categories. The goalies won, of course, and had good numbers, costing the Taters the goalie "wins" category and preventing the Taters from getting a clean sweep on Bezeach and overtaking him for first place.

Fortuitously, Bezeach got his months mixed up and went to Lakeland for spring training a bit early. The Taters took advantage of his absence and pulled out a shocking and convincing rout! :gun1:Oh well, life is a bezeach.

This week we will see how the Tater coach does with his team outnumbered by a Canadien team that recently emerged from obscurity and now looks like a team to be reckoned with. A month ago it looked like the Taters tough stretch (playing Woody, Super, Jammer and Bezeach in consecutive weeks) would end with Bezeach. But now, I see we have to go at least one more week before the schedule lets up a bit.

Any applicants interested in the coaching position should apply here. A vacancy may open soon. My list of potential applicants seems to be extremely limited at the moment. I can't figure out why. As GM, I really complain complain about 2nd place. However it isn't good enough for our owner, Darth Steinbrenner.

Oh yeah, and Woody...I hope you saw that I was so close on your tail that my front bumper was almost in your back seat. I hope you enjoyed your short week in 2nd place. You didn't really think I was going to let you keep it did you? Thanks for keeping it warm for me. :stirthepot:

Is Arnie Kandor available??

TATER:

My two best centers are injured, costing me the FW catagory.

Meanwhile, my goalies win three, with one shutout, 1.4 GAA, .950 % and I lose all FOUR catagories because Roloson pitches back-to-back shutouts.

That's the second time I've hit a really hot team.

I see the sun went down on the beach boy. AND YOU'RE NEXT!!

When I get a full deck (of players, that is), I'll be right back on your bumper.

:gun1:

I thought I was on the way up but I'm getting beaten badly by my nemesis from Idaho.

I have such a talented roster but they never seem to play well in the same week.

I think your guys actually are playing very well if you compare your numbers to most of the league. My guys just had a really good night and are hot right now. That could end at any time.

I'm expecting you to make up some ground tonight and it won't take much to catch me. I think it's going to be a battle the whole week.

My goalie from East Lansing blew a shutout by giving up TWO goals in the last 40 seconds of the game. :doh:Ouch! Plus I've got to hope the Red Wings lose all week because of Hasek. :(

Sidney Crosby, 6 points tonight.

1 goal, 5 assists, 3 PPA.

Nice night by the kid.

Sidney Crosby, 6 points tonight.

1 goal, 5 assists, 3 PPA.

Nice night by the kid.


Crosby is the real thing and if he stays healthy he should be the face of the league for a looooong time. I was going to pick him with my first choice in the draft, and thought he would fall to me at #3. But you nabbed him at #2 so I "settled" for Kiprusoff, which has worked out very well.

I got home after the games ended last night. First, I checked the NHL scores, hoping for a low score in the Pittsburgh game. (How is it that every other day for the whole week it seems like I have one or two guys facing four of your Penguins?). I can't hold them off much longer especially the way Crosby is playing.

Anyhow, I saw the score was 8-4 Pittsburgh. :bigeyes:Well, I kinda figured it would be bad given Philly's weak defense...but not this bad. So I check Roscoes scores. Yikes! Crosby has a goal and 5 assists.:pout:

I check my scores. Whew! Can you say "WHEW". Gonchar got 2 goals and 3 assists, including a SHA, a ppg, and a ppa.:whoo:

I hope my goalies play well tonight because the goalies will probably be the difference in the end.

Man, I hate it when a guy on your bench has a big game!

Sullivan has been out with an injury, so I had him on the bench because I wasn't sure when he'd be back.

So he decided to score 3 goals (1 PP) and be +2 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd to further rub it in.

The guy I inserted to take his place? 0 0 0 0 0 -1

Jammer:

Don't cry. My goalies have been pretty good until this week. Now they can't stop anything.

And I've got two guys (Yashin and Brind'Amour) who have been out for a couple of weeks or more and I can't guess just when they'll be back.

Meanwhile, Tater and Bezeach keep lucking out.

We'll get'em yet!!!

I'm back into the fight with my amazing combo of goalies.

5-5 going into the weekend. I need to pick up some guys playing on HNIC.

I need to pick up some guys playing on HNIC.

Is that a drug like THC? WTF is HNIC??? :pound:

Don't pick up any more guys. You've already outnumbered me by about 36 and I can't keep the dam from breaking any longer.

My goalies are playing really well, but yours are just playing out of their minds. Now you gotta decide what to do this weekend. Rest on your past laurels or go for it? I had the same decision to make last week. Hopefully, whatever you do, you blow it like I did! :nerd2:

Hockey Night in Canada, HNIC

Saturday is typically when the most games are scheduled.

I have 3 Penguins playing tonight.

Through one and a half periods, we've got...

Crosby - 1G, 1A, +2
Recchi - 1G, 2A, 1 PPG, +2
Malkin - 1A, 1PPA

I love the Penguins. :)

Great matchup, Roscoe. It's still anyone's game. Both teams played their best, I think. Goaltending and offense are still up for grabs although you have the lead heading into the all important stretch drive.

I would have to say FW is yours for sure and PPG is probably mine. Other than those it won't take much to turn around any given category.

:boxing:

Interesting call on Hasek today. We'll see how that one goes. :granade:



The league is very competitive, Superstarov. Great job setting this up. I feel like I have really great rivalries :pop2:with almost every single team in the league.

Woody & Jammer, you can't catch me..I'm the gingerbread man! :chopper::outtahere:

I am loving :love: fantasy hockey!

ROSCOE and TATER:

You guys remind me of the Pacers and Nets fans, lots of talk but you don't know how to finish. Roscoe will end up leading the second division, and Tater will be breating my fumes.

By the way, even I could figure out what HNIC meant. Is Don Cherry still holding forth??

Tater, your knowledge of hockey rates right up there with your knowledge of Potatoes. I suggest you stick to farming, and don't quit your day job.

I'm embarassed to say that I haven't watched an entire broadcast in some time. It's usually the Senators or Maple Leafs, one franchise I am ambivalent to, and the other I loathe. We would make an evening of it when I lived on the left coast and it was the 'Nucks, Flames or Oil.

I imagine Don is still doing what he does. Wearing ugly suits, being politically incorrect and yelling at his co-host.

LOL. Woody, I'm already looking forward to our next meeting. Haven't you had enough? You can leave your foot in your mouth because you won't be eating any Taters for lunch. How are you enjoying life way down there with the "have-nots"? I thought maybe you dropped out of the league, but I kept looking waaaaay down at the bottom of the standings and finally located your guys. :pound:

HNIC rocks. I haven't seen it since I left Michigan, though. Man, it brings back some memories of times long past. Grapes is too funny. My wife and I used to crack up watching him tick off the co-host (I can't remember his name, but we were never sure if sometimes he really was getting mad, lol).

I've got an idea!!

Lets get Don Cherry and Barry Melrose on the same program.

Would the studio be big enough for both egos??

Lots of fireworks and maybe some good info.

I can see them rolling around on the floor choking one another as they go from the game to the studio...

Looks like I got you Tater. My lucky week.

Looks like I got you Tater. My lucky week.

Great match but there is still hope for my boys. I'm not waving the white flag just yet. I'm only a PPA away from the tie. (Or an assist the other way away from a larger loss).

TERRIBLE coaching jobs by both squads last night. We left a slew of goals and assists on our bench and only put up a few points.

Looks like I squeaked this one out 6-4-3. Whew.

I could have picked up 2 more wins in goaltending but I didn't want to risk my GAA or save %.

The bad bench play was my going with the hot Pittsburgh hand. Next time, I won't play Malkin at center over Langkow or Lang. Zetterberg has not been that hot at LW anyways.

No trades in this league really, but if anyone is interested in a center or forward, I need a quality defenseman. Holla.

Roscoe:

When you are as far gone as you are, 7-4 seems like a big deal.

Big Deal.

If you keep that up, you'll end up right behind Tater in the middle of the pack.

Woody, if there is anything you should know as a Red Wings fan, it's that the regular season is meaningless.

Roscoe:

The same holds true for Pistons fans!!

And Lions fans as well.:)

And Lions fans as well.:)

The regular season is all us Lions fans have!

The highlight of our year is the draft. Or atleast the minutes leading up to the draft before Millen selects another WR.

Linwood: Just another rung in the ladder to mediocrity. I can't believe I'm not at the bottom of this league.

I'm hoping you win the whole thing slippy!

Jammer Pants down 10-0 going into play Sunday, then all of a sudden....

BOOM

Its Poti time baby!

I think only children should have potty time.

I just hope I can avoid hitting 'accept' on one of Jammers 'curiously fair' offers.

Tom Poti, NY Islanders defenseman. He plays great until someone picks him up. He's the ultimate FA tease. Almost all of us have had him on our team at one time or another.

You're crazy Woodrow!:pound:

46 points in 36 games Woody.

I got lucky. There are two x-factors in every NHL season (it seems like).

1 unknown goalie gets amazingly hot.

1 or 2 forwards you never heard of get hot.

I got Chris Mason when Tomas Vokoun went down, and Mason has to be the unknown goalie of the year.

13-5 with 3 shutouts and he's got the starting job until Vokoun comes back!

I only know the guys over 35. My team has Brind'Amour, Selanne, Lidstrom, and Broduer. I've got to learn the names of all these youg guys. I'm at a definite disadvantage against you under 35 types. I should be getting at least 5 strokes a side, and that's just in golf. In hockey, it should be much more. You'all are taking advantage of me!!

:rolleyes::lecturer:

Woody, you're old and like wise and stuff. We bow before your super long and old lifetime of like knowledge, ya know? :hail:

Now, if the sandwich-man can only do his job, we'll all be better off.

By the way, is there a town in Ontario called Sandwich?? Maybe the micro is hiding under some rock there.

I've got Spuds, and Duds coming up soon. Well, its time to clean up the kitchen and the closets, and throw out the trash and old sandwiches.

The City of Windsor .com (http://www.cityofwindsor.com/cityhistory.php)

Early Windsor began in 1701 when an European named Sieur De Lamonthe Cadillac brought about 100 civilians and military members to settle in Fort Pontchartrain on the Detroit side of the river (North side of the now Detroit River). During 1748 - 1760 the settlement of Sandwich Township- mainly French agriculture, tobacco and refined sugar- developed on the Windsor side of the Detroit River. French civil law and settlement continued until 1791. By 1797 the Sandwich township settlement of both French and English established the city of Windsor.I grew up in West Windsor, on Sandwich Street no less.

Let's see;
Detroit is North of Windsor, so, where is West Windsor, in River Rouge or in the Detroit River? How can you go west of Windsor??:):)

Or, is Sandwich Street a boat ramp??:)

Right across from Zug Island you weiner!

Looks like Sandwich Street is only about 1 mile (as the crow flies) from the best Sandwich shop in he world: Eph McNally's.

I have a friend from NYC that insisted we go there everytime he came to Detroit. Said you can't get a sandwich that good in any New York deli.

How do my fumes smell, Tater??

:gun1:

Not a pleasant smell! I'll be upwind of your poor excuse for a fantasy hockey club in no time.

Good job you did on Bezeach though, I must admit.

Hey, look out Woody. I've got Martin St. Louis on my team now. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid!

My goalies have gone blind on me the last three weeks, but when they get back to normal I'll regain my rightful place in the standings.:bump2:

While I was getting my degree in Chemical Engineering from U of M (that bowl-losing team), I worked one summer at a chemical plant in River Rouge - near the Ford plant. I didn't realize I was so near to your historic birthplace, or Eph McNally's (if it even existed back in 1956 when I was there).

My goalies pitched three shutouts against Bezeach. Now I'm fighting a bunch of rodents. This league is really wierd.

The cream has risen to the TOP!! (Ole' bootnose would be proud of his namesake).

Tater has assumed his rightful postion. (Head between knees).

Micro has dumped everyone. Even his St. Louis place-kicker whom he pawned off on Tater.

Those two managers make WCF and Millen look good.

And the rest of you??? You keep digging a bigger hole each week.

Your season is over Woodrow! Not ours.

You are a pretender to the throne. Your team is a joke. I can't believe you are even in a playoff position. You change players more than Superstarov changes baby diapers. And both changes are full of...well...you know.

We play again very soon. I'll regain my rightful spot after all is said and done.

My dynamic duo of Lecavalier and St. Louis will make you rue the day you ever joined this hockey league.

Well, it's sure nice to be appreciated!!

You know smack-talking is only good during the game. Afterwards is bad manners. So, it is good to know you are alive and kicking. Can't say the same about Roscoe. That Sandwich story must have ticked him off.

Anyway, you will assume your rightful postion is due time. Just make sure you are facing the right direction when you bend over.

I've got Micro this week, and you and the Duds are coming up soon.

I've been playing with half a deck most of the year, as Brind'Amour, Yashin, Redden, and now Iginla have been out. But I can beat those sandwich-eaters with half a deck anytime!!!

I thought the Rams season was over. Is their place-kicker still kicking??

:stirthepot: :gun1:

I have a feeling you have been playing with half a deck for much longer Woodrow.

I'm here, it's just a Monday and I'm fighting on more than one front.

I think I have reached DEFCON 1. Bad news for you. Enjoy the nuclear winter of your hockey team.

Well, it's sure nice to be appreciated!!

You know smack-talking is only good during the game. Afterwards is bad manners. So, it is good to know you are alive and kicking. Can't say the same about Roscoe. That Sandwich story must have ticked him off.

:stirthepot: :gun1:

I left you a message on the league page.

Cream rising to the top! Indeed!!! :pound:

I have no one playing on Monday, three on Wednesday, one on Friday, and no one on Sunday. Talk about half a deck!!

I'm spotting Roscoe 4 days, and I'll still beat him (I hope).

I never drink the water. Stick with milk and cream - that's good for you.

I've made lots of moves, and it looks like they have paid off. Got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. And stay away from someone elses junk (place-kickers).

I'm making roadkill out of squirrel this week you miserable woodchuck, but you are next. A rodent is a rodent is a rodent I always say.

Ok, you've placed me in a position I never thought I would be in. I'm actually rooting for the Sandwich man this week. It's kinda like the Pistons rooting for the Bulls to knock off the Heat. No matter. I can handle it. You
will all go down in due time.:stirthepot:

Shutout from Kipper last night. Figures he does it against my opponent who has no goaltending. But that's ok. He's just warming up to knock you out of first place,

Do try not to lose it this week against the cannuckian. Oh wait, you're probably of that species too. Prepare for extermination. Once again an American will dominate your sport (so what if we use almost all non-americans in order to do so...that ain't the damned point!:pound:). But I digress. You're going down Woodsy owl. Give a hoot and don't pollute our fantasy league. Back to the cellar where you belong!:gun1:

I'm going to do something I have never done before.

Win a league after making a bad trade.

Considering I am in 4 leagues, I am at all time low per league for trades. No one wants to play me next year. No one. ;)

:(Are you talking about our trade? I hope not. I still think it was a good one. Both those guys you got are producing.

I'm pleased as punch with St. Louis. Lecavalier and then St. Louis have quickly become my favorite two hockey players. I think I would draft both even over Crosby, even though it makes no sense from a talent perspective.

But if you ARE talking about our league...forget it. Trade or not the trophy has my name written all over it. You may as well pin my banner up there right now in case you get too busy down the line.

Seriously though, your team and Woodrows are awfully tough. Bezeach and Jammer have excellent squads also. There are a three other good teams that are suffering from a bit of neglect (my fault for pushing them to join), but they still have time to make a playoff push with a touch of nurturing. The last two teams are not pushovers and are always dangerous.

Great league. Nice job Superstarov. Not bad at all for a U of M guy.:nerd2: I've even come to appreciate the special settings you chose. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. Those first round byes could be crucial with teams so closely matched.

Well, we all KNOW this. Slippy won't be there. The question is WILL he even notice he isn't? :pound:

:(Are you talking about our trade? I hope not. I still think it was a good one. Both those guys you got are producing.
Whatever.

You guys make me laugh. Your humor is good even if you ability isn't.

I am a born and bred American (NO canadian blood). Kalamazoo is my home, and U of M is my school. I saw my first Red Wings game at Olympia in the 1950s (which is well before either of you saw the light of day).

This is my first (and only) fantasy league. I'm learning fast - like having three goalies and one less defenseman. I'm taking notes and next year I'll actually know what I'm doing during the draft. So you'll better win this year because next year I'll be much better, which should put me well out of your league.

Enjoy your brief stay in the upper division, 'cause the only way for you from here is DOWN!!!

:gun1: :stirthepot:

What I like about you Woody, is that your ability to trash talk is not hindered by reality!

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8821/micro0157cp8.png

Although, for a bunch of diSAbels, your guys are playing pretty good.

Rod Brind'Amour only got 7 FW last night. He's usually good for 15-25 per night. Since I'm only playing three nights this week, I need everyone to play well.

Why you and Tater are talking big, when you are back in THIRD and FOURTH, I can't fathom. Talk about reality. And, by the way, just how do the fumes smell way back there???

Lemme see. I am up 8-1 on aerovermin. That means 20 points for me.

You, on the other hand are losing 3-6. That means 10 points.

Since I am currently 11 back of you, I only need another cat to pass you. Just in time for our showdown next week. I think I'll root for you to hold it this week, just so I can personally crush your hopes woodpecker.

Don't count your chips 'till the dealin's done. --K. Rogers

And, I'm ancient too. So is my team.

No Bing Crosby, NO Overchickin'. I like my players well-done.
Since I'm in first place that means well-done.

I don't have any trouble sleeping at nights with you guys on my tail.

Dear Mr. Slippy,

Please release me from your system into the free agent pool so I can score a few more points until someone else in the league decides to test the curse out. I think it's the Jamsters turn, actually.

Sincerely,

Tom Poti.

Woody came into chat last night, and when I greeted him, he replied that he is NOT talking to me.

I think my friendship with Woody is more important than whuipping up on him in the fantasy league. I promise to go easier on him next time.

Winning is EVERYTHING. Forget friendship.:wedgie:

Woody was talking like he was a big hunk of lumber earlier this week but now Woody is a mere toothpick. No, a splinter.:lol:

Woody, I think if you play hard tonight you might be able to salvage third place. I won't be needing it any longer. I'll either be in first or a couple points out. On the other hand, Jammer or Roscoe may have that spot reserved. :lurking:Time to move over you OLD Woodchucker you.:bump2:

Poor poor Woodrow. I can't wait till next week when I get my shot at you.:burgereater:

Enjoy your fun!

Talking trash to Roscoe and Tater IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of the fantasy league. Even more important than winning - well, almost as important as winning.

I can't beat Roscoe 'cause the scheduler won't let me play. Only three nights this past week. Sheesch!!

Hopefully, next week when I play Tater the gods will give me a break. I certainly can't expect one from him.

Ah, the joys of playing the third and fourth place teams. :pound::pound:

I can sympathize with you a little bit because I KNOW from personal experience that the schedule maker shows great favoritism toward Roscoe.

Unfortunately for you Woody, I read somewhere that my teams have a lot of games this week. You're right though. You'll see no mercy from me.

If you don't know who St. Louis is, I predict you WILL know him well by the end of next week. You'll be muttering his name in your restless sleep.

Lecavalier to St. Louis...he shoots...he SCORES!!!

St. Louis to Lecavalier...he shoots...he SCORES!!!

:cheerlie-GOAL::cheerlie-GOAL::cheerlie-GOAL::cheerlie-GOAL:

I understand there is an Ice Storm in St. Louis. Oh, that's right, St. Louis is in Florida. And Crosby isn't in Hollywood, he's in Pittsburg. All the geography I learned in kaput.

Now, you have good North American players like Afinogenov, Kiprusoff, and Visnovsky. Have you got connections with the KGB???

For a guy who lives in Idaho, you've come a long way, baby.

Dealing with the angst of the 3rd and 4th place teams is exhausting.

Its lonely at the top. Not that you would know.

You know Woody, DT can be a formidable opponent. It pleases me to no end that you are the one to challenge and battle with him. I simply do not have the spirit. He's broken me.

LOL. Hmmmmm. Are we talking hockey? If so, I recall getting a butt whooping by you last meeting.

In fact, I think you are trying to divert the focus off of your own team which has been taking no prisoners as of late.

Woodrow, don't buy this wounded duck act. He's already made his hotel reservations for the Finals.

BTW...where is Jammer? We need some smack from him too.

And Bezeach? He hasn't said a word this entire time. Just as well, since he has his hands full with redline this week.

Slippy? Linwood? Yes. You guys DO have teams. HELLOOOO???? Anyone home?

Super? ok. He's out buying Pampers. He has an excuse.

Woody, you sure weren't in first place very long. Pressure was too much for you? You wanna borrow one of my Ruskies? And I don't care what you say, I know you ARE a Cannuckian. In fact, I think you and the other one are in cahoots. You've probably enlisted Jammer too. You must be Canadian if you don't know where St. Louis is!!!

I smell conspiracy all over the place. No problem, I'll get Linwood and Slippy to help me fight for the red, white & blue . That is, if I can locate them. I'm sure they are here..somewhere.

BTW...where is Jammer? We need some smack from him too.

I'm here, but barely. I've been swamped with work lately.

Plus I've been "commishioned" to do a bunch of crap for my wife's work as well and have been doing some house reno stuff.

If it were up to me, Fantasy Sports would be MUCH higher on that priority list...

Woodrow W. Wannabe,

Guess who will be in first place when you wake up tomorrow morning you old woodpecker head?

Lemme spell it out for ya:

TATER BAY LIGHTNING


:gun1::gun1::gun1::gun1::gun1::gun1::gun1::gun1:

There's nothing more silly than a cliffhanger talking smack.

I hope your fingernails are long, because your "Slippy"ing off the cliff.

Hope you enjoy the trip back down!!

:stirthepot::stirthepot:

Looks like the diSAbels are locked in a deathmatch with the Ta-Tas.

Too bad neither of you have the goaltending to be true contenders.

Woodrow...Is it just me or do you hear a voice from far far away. Waaaay down in the bowels of the standings. :pound:


Did that voice mention contending goaltenders? That voice must be so faaaaar away they don't realize we have Brodeur, Kipper, and MSU's own Ryan Miller betwen the pipes. Is that voicing smoking a pipe? I'll bet they have goaltenders who can't walk to the mailbox without pulling a groin muscle.:roll:

Woodrow, we better not beat up on each other too much. That voice is lurking about dangerously.:lurking: I suggest you just hand me the victory. It's inevitable that I'll win anyhow.

If you can't hear my footsteps, you must be DEAF!!!!!!!:director:

If you can't hear my footsteps, you must be DEAF!!!!!!!:director:



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Hi Roscoe. Did you join our league recently? I haven't noticed you there. I did hear some footsteps, but I thought it was one of my kids tiptoeing through the house to sneak some cookies. Your boots aren't making much noise. Maybe the sound is muffled by all the people behind me and in front of you.:heh:

Well, welcome to our league. Oh, I see you are an expansion team judging by your record. Well, hopefully you and Redline battle it out till the bitter end. It should be a humdinger! :wink:

I have the greatest team in the history of fantasy hockey.

I've been out of town a few days, and the whole league went into the dumpers:

Linwood appeared - from where??
Jammer is using his wife as an excuse.
Roscoe is off hiking in the woods, listening for sounds of those waaaayyy out ahead of him.
And Tater ??? Talking smack and hoping his goalies don't crap out.

When Roscoe recruited me for this league, he didn't mention that all he really wanted was shark-bait.

I'm trying to keep my head above water while Tater and Bezeach are pushing me down, and Roscoe and others are chewing on my legs. Its enough to make an old man cry.

But, despite all the abuse, I'm hanging in there. If Iginla would just come back O.K. and Yashin would wake up, and Brind'Amour would start winning faceoffs again, and, and, and,...........

ISN'T THIS FUN!!!!!!!

LMAO Woody.

Not only that but the commissioner is doing his best Jimmy Hoffa impression.

And what of sleepy...errr, Sludgy...sloopy? Whatever his name is.

Yeah, Roscoe is loving this. We are killing each other in mortal combat while he is stomping poor redline into dust and gaining ground. He won't get outta 4th place though. Not yet.

See, my goaltending may be keeping me from dominating this league right at the moment but I have something neither of you two guys have on your teams. A great GM and great coach. :gun1:

Oh, by the way guys...an announcement (seriously) from Yahoo:

If you're in a Head-to-Head league with Minimum Goaltender Games (typically three games per team each week), please note that these minimums WILL NOT be in effect during All-Star Week, January 22-28.

That's because we will only be playing a couple days that week. (also, this week ends tomorrow instead of Sunday, I believe).

Dude, I have two shutouts this week and 3 wins. My save % is over 96 and my GAA is barely over 1.

I hope to finish up with 10 wins. You and Tater keep beating on each other while I pass you both in the standings.

Roscoe:

Your math is terrible. There is no way you can pass Tater and me. You ain't got enough ------ to get there.

Keep breathin' the fumes!!

I have the greatest fantasy team of all time. From the General Manager to the guy who waxes the zamboni, we are the best of the best.

We'll see Woodrow. Everyone knows that to be good in hockey, you need great backstoppers. I have the best 3 man tandem in the league.

And my defense corps has solidified, I'm hip to the best centremen in the game and my wingers are turned over for the flavour of the moment.

Woody, this is your first fantasy league. The crying don't start until the playoffs sweetheart. :gun1:

You should tell your GM to replace your goalie with the zamboni driver. You might be able to actually compete with that move.:pound:

Dang, that disgruntled Center I traded you is tearing it up. 5 goals in his first two games for the Chiefs! He must feel sorry for you.

Glad to see you are finally joining the smack down.:stirthepot:

Roscoe:

I have no idea how the playoffs work. However, I know I can count on you and Tater to look out for my best interests.

I am concerned that Red Line, and Super, and Slippy will be out to get me. Can I count on your protection???

Woody,

Playoffs in our league:

Top 6 teams make the Championship bracket. (The lowest 4 fight it out in the consolation bracket).

Top 2 get byes. Teams 3 through 6 play the first round while the top two (with byes) sit out and await the winners of 3-6. Winners of those two first round games play the byes (or bi's if roscoe & slippy are in the top two slots).Then the winner of those semi final games play for the ship the following week. Which is a waste of time cause ya'll can just crown me now.:king::winner_first_h4h:

Do you mean crown like this??

:smash::smash::bump2::yield::help2::lol::lol::lol:

:dizzy2:

Great match Woodrow. The Kipper came through for me at the zero hour. Looks like you are going to give up your spot to the club sandwich after all.:loser:

Roscoe, don't think we haven't noticed you've won 7 of your last 8...by blowout scores for the most part. I see it all started after a loss to Slippy. If that isn't a wake up call I don't know what is! Looks like right now you are the team to beat, but I'm sure you know I won't give up frst place without a fight.:starwars:

Next week there are only three days in which games will be played. There could be some strange results in the standings. :cold:

What a game last night from the Penguins. My prize rookie (Malkin) had 5 assists!

I picked up Recchi. Low risk move. He'll either start another streak up or I will drop him.

What a game last night from the Penguins. My prize rookie (Malkin) had 5 assists!

I picked up Recchi. Low risk move. He'll either start another streak up or I will drop him.

Recchi is a very good pickup, IMO. I only dropped him (after picking him up from your scrap pile) because I wanted somebody else more. I may regret that later but I couldn't resist.Thing is, I always battle within myself whether it's worthwhile to pick up an extra offensive guy in lieu of a defenseman. I hate sitting guys when there is an open spot for the lower scoring defenseman. Any idea how the numbers work out?

It's good to see Phaneuf is working out so well for you. You picked the right defenseman off my squad. I had 4 good ones, but then I realized Salei and then Kuba went stone cold. It killed me to release my Tampa guy, but I had to. I mean...9 games without a point.

Irony on Phaneuf. I remember drafting and having no clue what I was doing. (Only 3 guys plus my two goalies remain from my original draft). Anyhow, I remember you commenting when I drafted Phaneuf. You said something about being surprised I drafted him so high since he had lots of potential but had not fulfilled it yet. I said "oh oh". But as it turns out he is really blossoming and I was able to trade him and Tanguay for a great player off your squad that has quickly become a favorite of mine as well as a valuable asset to my team. Good trade for both of us, I think.

Seriously, I do NOT want to run into your team in the playoffs until the last round...if ever. I compared my numbers this week to yours and I realize that as well as I played you would have blown me out. What the hell are you feeding your guys? I think Canadians must have an insider advising them. :gossip:

I don't want to tip off my strategies too much.

I have a method for choosing free agents. But you need to have something you are good at, and I like to think my real strength is between the pipes.

I don't think you need to carry 4 defensemen unless you are concerned with improving your +/-. A lot of the top performing forwards are actually minus players because their numbers come on the power play.

The most valuable non-goalie players are + forwards, + defensemen, and penalty killers

The most valuable non-goalie players are + forwards, + defensemen, and penalty killers

Do you mean "+" as in plus/minus totals?

How does the fact that they kill penalties come into the equation? Do they play more minutes or something?

Yes, +/-.

Penalty killers get you SHA and SHG. We all know those are the hardest categories to come by. Most weeks you can win those cats just by scoring one point.

There are a small # of elite players who also kill penalties. Usually coaches use defensive specialists for that role. A typical penalty kill unit is one forward, one center and 2 defensemen. A two-way center is a big advantage. Guys like Sidney Crosby never get asked to kill them. Guys like David Legwand and Henrik Zetterberg (ironically two of my best + forwards) do.

ahhhhhhhh. I see. Thanks.

I've been taken to school.

I never heard of most of the guys you are talking about. I did drop from 5 to 4 defensemen a while back. I should probably go to three. Kaberle has done nothing (good or bad) for a long time. Iginla is hurt which reduces my scoring a lot. DiPietro is playing poorly, and, as a result of all of this, I'm playing with less than a full deck.

I wish there was some way to know who the top defensemen are on each team, and who plays on the penalty kill, so I could pick up some of the guys Roscoe knows about. Not being a Canadian is tough.

Live and learn. But it's hard to breathe under water!!:help2::help2::help2:

Woody, go to the Team Page on Yahoo (Wings, Leafs what have you) and click on Depth Chart. They will list who the top defensemen are as well as the top forwards.

If Iginla is IR, change his status to IR and add another player.

When looking at your roster on Yahoo, click EXTRA. This will show you how guys are performing over the last month, week and on the season. You can see who is trending negatively.

Being Canadian only helps me about 5%. I spend more time on this league than I do on the other 3 (combined) that I am in.

Doesn't matter. We may need an excuse later.:wedgie:

I don't think that Iginla has been classified as IR, so I can't put him on it.

I've looked at the team pages and it helps. But it doesn't say who plays on the power plays, and who plays when short-handed. That would be very good info to have.

But I'll keep looking!!

I don't think that Iginla has been classified as IR, so I can't put him on it.



Yeah, I can't understand why he isn't on there. I was wondering all week. He's been out for a while. It really messes you over.

I don't mind losing, I just didn't want to finish poorly. I need to win at least one playoff game.

Woody, because lineups are relatively fluid in hockey, you can safely assume that the top defensemen play both ways (on a good team at least).

The best way to check is to see who has put up #s short handed and on the power play. Click ADD PLAYERS, switch the search to D for defensemen, and then load it up. You'll see who is available and has got ShortHandedAssists. Defensemen typically don't score short handed because they are deep in the defensive zone during power plays and would likely only get points by passing up to a forward breaking out on a turnover.

There is no bigger testament to my lack of competitiveness than the fact I will help my opponents.

I've been trying that all along. Guess I just haven't figured out how to use all the info that's there.

I bought a copy of Hockey Week magazine, but my goalies didn't play any better.:sssh::sssh:

Goaltending is tricky. I got lucky and Hasek has played well. You always want goalies from winning programs. Heck, you just want players from winning programs period.

I work the stats a lot. I do a lot of sorting. I like to see who had a good week, and I try to get opportunistic when a player goes down. Try to grab the guy who will move up in the lineup.

You're doing super good for your first fantasy season Woody. It's taken me 3 years to finally have a shot at winning one of these things.

I agree Woodward. Plus you talk smack like a seasoned veteran.:lecturer:

Really weird stuff happens in the playoffs in basketball. I wonder if teams rest their players the last week in hockey once they've secured their spot, like they do in basketball and football.

They don't. In hockey, momentum going into the playoffs is everything. That is why the teams who just squeak into the 7th and 8th spots in each conference usually go deep. They have been playing playoff hockey leading in to the playoffs.

Last year, the 8th place Oilers went all the way to the Finals.

Last year, in the Western Conference, the 5, 6, 7, and 8 spots all won their 1st round series.

Momentum is BIG.

I've always disagreed with the way Red Wings coaches usually give their "stars" the last week or two of the season off.

Wow. 4,744 views on this thread. That's very surprising to me because we only have 10 people in our league and two of them don't even come on the forum to my knowledge (Squirrels and Redline).

If I'm correct, only forum members have access to reading the fantasy threads. But even if that isn't the case, I am wondering who in the world is reading a fantasy hockey thread?

I know it's VERY early but is there anyone out there reading this that isn't in the league that MIGHT be interested in joining next year? I'm certain we will be losing at least two teams.

I've probably been on the thread 4,000 times myself.:pound::pound:

Can't learn by watching. Got to participate!!

And talk smack!!

Woody, first place is fun. :dancingparty:You shoulda held it for more than one week. Too bad I had to throw you behind Roscoe and into 4th place. :gun1:

:dancingparty:Which one of these guys is you?? there are several look-a-likes. Reminds me of the playground in elementary school. That's about your level.

My guys have been coasting the last two weeks but we'll have it in gear come playoff time.

Roscoe can keep looking at his stats. When its over, all that will be left of him is a paper trail.

Tater, enjoy the "big" lead you have. You may be ahead, but we're right in your jock.

I'm having fantasy hockey withdrawl. Is it tomorrow yet?

I'm sweating bullets. I checked the head to head stats (totals) for the first time and I am trailing the other top 2 or 3 teams in most categories. This cannot be a good thing for me down the stretch.

As I thought, Woody and Roscoe seem to be leading in most categories with Bezeach, Jammer, and myself right behind them.

So I'll continue to enjoy my moment in the sun while it lasts and talk all the crap I can while the talkin' is still good.

Super, you are going down. We tied last time (they snatched away my apparent 6-5 victory when they retotaled the plus/minus category on a Tuesday!!). So this time I'll make SURE I crush you so there are no mistakes.

The only other team I still need to beat is the Jamster. Your turn is next week Jammer.:canada: =:yield:

I'm absolutely lovin' the smilie on smilie action.

:hmmm:

Just want to see if this works. Very meta.

It's you TaShawn. Now I know where those previously unaccounted for 3,649 views came from!!!!! :)

I don't think I've ever viewed this post before, but today was very bored. Chatting about someone else's fantasy hockey has to be the most extreme form of time wasting.

Hey Tater,

What stat comparisons are you talking about?? How do i see it?

Since I'm temporarily in 4th place, I need some positive reinforcement showing I'm ahead in something.

I'ts hard to talk smack from back here. (But I'm not going to let it bother me too much) :).

You and Roscoe have some tough match-ups coming up. You're done with the easy ones like me.

My last few games are "easy", but usually the stone that trips you is the one that you don't see.

Go to our league page.See at the top of the standings where it says "standings" "schedule" "playoffs"? Follow it across a few inches and it says "Head to Head stats" ...click on it. It shows you your overall won-loss in each category. But if you click "totals" it shows you that good stuff.

Hey, Tater:

I found it!!!

And I'm doing O.K.

Makes me feel better.

Now all I need to do is to play better.

The fumes are bad back here!!!

Hey Tater:

Did you notice the job Brodeur did on Tampa Bay?????


Lecavalier and St. Louis must still be in shock. Too bad Brodeur didn't play them when I was playing you.

:MusicBigGrin:

:MusicBigGrin:

Yeah, I saw that and I was thinking, "*&^%$#@@ Brodeur is kicking my butt even when I'm not playing Woody"!!!!! I saw Tampa was playing New Jersey even before the game started and figured I could be in some deep doo doo.:doener:

My guys played like crap yesterday except for one (although another on the bench did well). Due to the short week I could get thrown back all the way from first to fourth. Ouch!!! Plus next week I'm outnumbered heavily.

I'm getting Superstaroved,! :wedgie: but I don't mind. I'm just happy HOCKEY is back. Should be a great final 7 weeks. I'd like a bye, but most of all I want to avoid a couple of teams in the playoffs until I have to play them.

What was that you wrote on the league page about Bezeach & Yahoo? Has Bezeach been leaving us messages? I haven't seen any. Where are they?

The little Smilie by Bezeach's name lights up occasionally, but when I click on it, I get a message that I can't access the message.

Don't know what's the problem, or if Bezeach is sending a message or talking smack. We need his smack!!!

It means Bezeach is on Yahoo Messenger. It's like MSN or Windows Messenger if you have used those Woodrow. It's like a one-to-one live chat.

I've never used them and don't know how to get on them.

Should I???

Nah. Not unless you want to talk to Tater. He uses MSN Messenger, I'm sure he could help you get setup with Yahoo.

Bezeach is running in silent mode because he can hear our footsteps.

I've never used them and don't know how to get on them.

Should I???

They are really cool, Woody. Slippy and I talk on messenger, off and on for hours every day. I talk to Aurora frequently too.

I use MSN messengar. I prefer it over Yahoo. Some people have Yahoo and prefer that.

Both are free and you can get both if you like.

I'm here, just staying under the radar. But check out this:

ROFL. That's great Bezeach.

Next time be careful what you ask for Woody. I may have to use the Mcdonalds one as my avatar!

All the more reason to stay off of YaHoo.
Why would I want to spend all day with YOU???
or Bezeach???

Hey Tater:

Have you been out back in the trash bin???

You are changing players faster than Super changes diapers.

Make up your mind! You do have one don't you??

I think you are running scared. Of whom?? Not the sandwich man, I hope!

Just settle down and play hockey.

:gun1::sssh::sssh:

IF the numbers don't change today (and trust me, I can add better than the Canadian), Bezeach will be in first place by 4 points. Me & pastrami on rye will be tied for 2nd, and you'll trail us in 4th place by one point.

Hell YEAH, I'm scared. But now I got another Tampa Bay guy so all will be well. (GULP).

Woody, you sure are loud for a guy praying he's gonna just make the playoffs. Read the Mickey Dee billboards. Your team is embarrassing!!!! You keep picking up guys I dumped. I gotta go outside and pick up what my dog left. You want me to send it to you?


Woody's team SUX

Let's see --- St. Louis is now in Florida, and Boise appears to be moving there soon. You should get a winter home in Edmonton. The players are better there.

Does it snow in Boise???

The stuff your dog picks up is better than what you pick up.
Trust your dog.

By the way, have you ever been to Kellog?? The high school foorball field is named after my great Uncle. I've actually been to Kellog!! Didn't see any hockey players there, though.

Kellogg? isn't that in Battle Creek? Was your uncle a corn flake or something?

Or do you mean to claim your uncle is Clark Kellogg? Figures. I shoulda known you were from Indiana considering your lack of hockey knowledge.

Go watch your Pacers lose to the Pistons tonight, although they got a better shot at the championship than you do in fantasy hockey.

That's just mean Tater. Enjoy your last week or two at the top. The first round bye is mine.

You're going to need that bye, slapshot breath!

Anyhow, you two should be ashamed of yourselves having a corrupt commissioner do your dirty work. I was blindsided with a short week.

I'm not off my perch yet. I have faith in my boys!

I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, right next to Battle Creek. I know Kellogg, Idaho from BC, Michigan. I've been both places. Have you??? Nice that you talk from all that experience.

Seems like you know all about the playoffs and what happens when you LOSE. At least you talk from experience there.

You may need to check your addition in the morning.

I already rechecked it and it's getting worse by the minute.

I'm a distant 4th right now. Bezeach in 1st over Roscoe by 2 points. and you're right behind Roscoe. Well, I've got time to claw back from this week.

Oh what a cruel world! :hanged2::hanged2::hanged2::hanged2::hanged2:

LOL. You're right. I actually did add wrong. Things won't be nearly as bleak as I thought. So beware the Taters.

Jammer you are kicking my butt.:wedgie: If you get good goaltending tonight I'm gonna be whitewashed.

At least my main rivals are also losing so far.
(Not that I am rooting against them, of course.). <------:bs:


:usa2: places Voodoo curse on this guy---->:canada:

We have a large caribbean population in Eastern Canada.

Your voodoo is not enough to derail my mojo.

That voodoo curse was directed toward Jammer. My aim must be off.

I have something much more devious and effective in store for YOU! :diablo:

Jammer you are kicking my butt.

You Americans are so melodramatic. :canada:

We both have the same # of players tonight and every category is very close. This thing could swing either way and there's still a lot of hockey left in the week.

But I will say this.... you better hope Jagr doesn't wake up from his nap anytime soon or your American butt is mine! :gun1:

HELP!!!

Where did this Super guy come from??

He's got 6 centers, 7 RW, and 2 LW.

Every night he's got 100 guys playing.

His goalie (from Pitsburg no less) pitches a shutout.

He's breaking evey rule in the book. Oops, He WROTE the book. He's the commissioner.

He's much tougher than Spuds or the escapee from Zug Island.

I'm doing everything I can to keep my head above water.

How come this guy is in 6th place??

HELP!!!

:yield: :yield::yield:

HELP!!!

Where did this Super guy come from??



He came from Russia, I believe.

It's to the right of Canada. Forget the ocean that separates the two. Same difference. Can't trust either one. They both live in igloos :cold:and cheat at hockey!:stirthepot:

How come this guy is in 6th place??


I had a run of bad luck there for a while, and couldn't double check my line-ups for a about 2 months while I was attending to the birth of little Superstarov and Mrs Superstarov.

Now, hopefully I can finish strong.

This is a tight match-up Woody.

Changing diapers is a weak excuse.

Our daughter just had our first grandchild and I've been running grandma back and forth constantly to see her. (Actually I get to do some holding too!!). The baby eats, shoots, and sleeps.They really are neat!!!

Congratulations.

Meanwhile, back to HOCKEY!!

NOW (Losing 2-8) can I call it a blowout about to happen???:ouch:

You're right though. A couple of categories can still go either way.

IF I am fortunate tonight, my goalie will play tonight AND play decent, win the game and I can take over the "wins" column for goalies. I can also possibly take "faceoffs won" and MAYBE "assists". That would make it 4-5, which at this point, I'll take!

Do you always score 158 goals by Thursday night or should I feel honored?:humble:

I must be crazy thinking I can beat you Cannuckians at hockey! :pound:

Do you always score 158 goals by Thursday night or should I feel honored?

Nah, this is a bit of an off week for me. :stirthepot:

My big guns, Jagr and Hossa are still without a goal. As is Koivu, Vermette and Naslund.

This Superstarov guy is one tough cookie.

His goalies are keeping him afloat. Shutouts galore. Hard to beat a guy who gets 4 points automatically from his goalies. Sheeeeech!!

:shout::shout::shout:

I can't type any more right now because I have other things I need to attend to at the moment........:smash:



Beware Cannuckian...we meet again next week for the last time (until the playoffs, at least). Your team better be ready or you will PAY dearly!:starwars:

Woody is in my playoff bracket right now. He's playing Slippy's BedBugs, so he'll probably rise in the standings this week.

Don't cry about Canada! It was only a matter of time until the back bacon found it's way to the top of the league.

Make sure you notice how there are no hashbrowned potatoes with that breakfast.

Wow, I just checked out the gross head to head stats, and Woody's team is crazy good.

Better than mine.

I'm not worried about the Peaches or the Tomato Soup Linguini.

I'm good plus I have...


LUCK!

What peaches and tomato Linguini? You lost me.


I'd like to order my hockey championship banner in a gold color, please.


Damn, seriously, that breakfast picture made me salivate. When I cook lunch I am making bacon (not that Canadian ham crap), sunny side up eggs, and toast!:hungry:

You better eat your eggs sunny side up, because if you face me in the playoffs, it's gunna be over hard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_egg#North_America).

Probably.
Don't forget that Slippy was one of two teams to beat you in the last 11 weeks.

He was also one of two to beat me in the last 7 weeks.

Yes, I realize we both destroyed him in our other meeting with him.

He looks like an easy mark on the schedule, but if he ever figures out where the league page is he could be dangerous.

Then again, he tends to lose against scrubs like Woodrow.

The sun does occasionally shine in Canada. Enjoy it while you can.

Its way too early to worry about brackets. Just hope you haven't fallen all the way to seventh by then. Don't worry, the sun will set on you just as it has on the Beach Bum.

I snuck by Super, but his goalies killed me.

My head-to-head stats show that I'm GOOD. The cream will rise to the top. You guys are all living on borowed time.

But when it shines, it always melts their homes. :pound:

We just got 6" of snow here in central illinois.

Not much by Canadian standards.

As a retiree, all I need to do is sip hot chocolate and talk smack on my computer. Life is GOOD!

Now. where are all of you hiding???

I built an igloo fort.

Just kidding, no snow here, just an evil frost.

Speaking of freezes, looks like my run at the top will continue unless one of y'all step up and gimme some competition.

You sure talk lots of shizzle for a guy up by a measly
two points. Don't you have anything better to do, like make an ice sculpture or something? You can't hold first place any better than you can hold your urine. How do I put this delicately? Uhmmm
I got it...your team SUX!!!

Your run is over. You squeaked by us when we weren't looking. Woody and I are going to get the byes while you battle it out with some other hopeful for the honor of playing us.

My team is going to come back with a vengeance
tonight. Bezeach
won't find it so easy to build a lead on me when I actually have somebody playing!

POE-TAY-TOE head, I am 9-1 in the last 10 weeks.

8-3
9-2
9-0
8-1

in the last 4 matches.

Live in the now. It's the microage. You're obviously snowblinded by my excellence of execution (and roster management).

You guys are very colorful. I don't know how to do all that stuff. Just play hockey.

Maybe you think those new jerseys are going to help you slip by me. WRONG.

When I can get my guys on the ice, I'll be back on top in no time. Iginla is BACK!!

Woody, your goatending is formidable. I respect the playoff pedigree of your squad but Tater keeps trying to sidle up next to us and participate in a conversation between Titans of the Rink.

The only rink he is going to be playing on is the kiddie ice in the parking lot. Rinky Dink hockey just like his goaltending and goal scoring abilities.

I've also noted that you both are swapping guys in and out like Flip Saunders. You're using guys from the end of the bench who are actually fans seated nearby. Do you really know who the He** is on your roster??

You make Frank Lane look like a piker.

GET A GRIP!!

All I have to say is:


KIPRUSOFF

Woody, there is an assumption that because I am Canadian, my fantasy hockey skills are infinitely superior to those of my competitors.

This is totally untrue. Look at Jammertime. He's Canadian and struggling like a baby seal covered in Exxon Valdez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon_Valdez_oil_spill) oil.

The truth of the matter is, I relentless work the newswire hunting for the talent that escapes all but the sharpest of general managers. My scouts are in every arena compiling statistical data that the microwaves use to determine who is hot, and who is not.

Many of Potatoe's moves are window dressing as he tries to create the impression of activity, when in fact, he just likes seeing his team name pop up on the league transactions page.

After all, you don't have to be Canadian to know that modelling your team after a franchise in Tampa Bay, Florida will only lead to extra zamboni time patching up the melting ice.

In case you don't get it, the #1 highlight, he actually "palms" the puck on his stick and wraps it into the goal.

Now that is talent!

Items in your rear view mirror are closer than they appear.

You are one goalie injury away from missing the playoffs.
If he gets banged up, you are toast.

I don't know if God can hear anyone as far away as Idaho (or is it Tampa Bay), so you better be praying very loudly.

HEY NO FAIR! What happened to brotherly love? This from a guy only 2 igloos down from me!

For your information, I'm pacing myself. I learned from the master, Flip Saunders, that the regular season is meaningless as long as you make the playoffs.

And to think that I just read up on your Advanced League trade and bit my tongue at how totally ripped off you got!

I just want to point out how perfectly my avatar matches my championship banner for basketball.

Let's take a lookie see. Do any of you guys have avatars to match YOUR...oh...I see...uhmmm...you don't have any championship banners...oh well...never mind then.:gun1:

Maybe Roscoe will start giving banners for 2nd and 3rd place so you guys can possibly get one in hockey! :stirthepot:
