Why are you all "keeping up with the Joneses"???

Who the he** are the Joneses??? What place are they in??

You guys don't even know what league you are in. Well, you are out of your league.

The team you will have to beat is the SID ABELS. There are no Joneses on that team. You can chase the Joneses all you want, but, in the end, you've got to beat ME!!!!!

For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on.

Are the playoffs different from the weekly competition?? Do defensemen count more in the playoffs?

Talk about senseless moves. I can't figure out what Roscoe and Tater are doing. I suppose I'll find out come playoff time, when all the rules change.

Hey, Commissioner, What's up?? Do these guys know something I don't, or are they just running scared?

Have they been hit in the head with a puck? What good are 3-4 goalies when you can only play two? They play all season with only three defensemen and then suddenly trade away top notch players in order to get a run-of-the-mill retread at a postion they have ignored all year.

Does living in Canada effect you that way??

Woody, thats kind of hitting below the belt to make fun of Roscoe's having a puck embedded in his head. I thought I was the only one who knew about it. To this day he wears a football helmet :football: wherever he goes:fish2: he is so afraid of it happening again. But the twitching and eye blinking are almost gone and he said soon he will be brave enough to take the helmet off :yo:for his daily :bath1:that the nurse administers.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, if I had been able to add Pronger, and incurred no injuries, I think my path to the title would have been clear.

I'm not done looking for one more blueliner though. I've got a lot of assets to play with, but then that just makes it harder to give a guy away because I like almost everyone on my team.

You act like no one else exists, which is why you are losers.

The team to beat is the Sid Abels!

WE have become like our name sake. Remember....

The production line: Abel, Lindsay and Howe, with Red Kelly on defense and Sawchuck in net.

Now its: Brind'Amour, Selanne, and Iginla, with Lidstrom on defense and Brodeur in net.

You guys are wet behind the ears (and, perhaps, in other spots as well).

Just keep talking, reality will set in soon enough.

I'm just trying to salvage what I can today. Of course, you've got the win sewed up.

Our offenses were very close. Not making excuses, but I did have a couple of bad breaks and injuries this week. I also made a couple of "GM/coaching errors. Not taking anything from your guys.

The big difference was goaltending. Your guys played very well and would have beaten anyone this week. Mine played horribly and would have lost to anyone this week.

If I can get it to 5-8, I'll consider myself fortunate. Congratulations!

Perhaps we shall meet again before all is said and done.

I made some mistakes too. I had no idea Cole would come off DTD and score a goal and an assist. I wasn't expecting him to be a game time decision and impact player.

I still need to make a move for a top flight defenseman.

Btw, Woodrow, you have made as many moves as me, and you're still breathing my exhaust fumes. Enough with the shuffling of the deck comments. I'm a good fantasy GM when it comes to working FA!

as are you...

Tater may be coughing the worse.

While you talk about resting your guys, and a clear shot at a bye, the reality is that you and Tater will be in third and fourth while Bezeach and I are resting up.

I have two of the top 15 defensemen. I just want one more.

I had a deal in place with Jammer, but I wanted to think it over some more.

Then after a night of thinking, I realized that none of you bums (except Bezeach) can touch me as I am right now. Perhaps another move would just be over-thinking things.

I can't even touch Redline right now.

My goalies couldn't stop a basketball from going in the net if their lives depended on it. It will be a first round exit for me if I keep spotting my opponents all four goalie categories.

However, if I can get back to getting just halfway decent goaltending, your team will lose to the Taters. That is, IF you can get past Woody and the others to reach me.

Bezeach Shmezeach. I ain't scared of no Bezeach. I'm 2-1 against him and Woody is 1-1 against him.

Since you are 0-2 against him, If you would like, and if you can behave yourself and play nice for a change, maybe we can give you some tips on how to beat him.:gossip:

Woody
02-21-2007, 07:52 PM
Why would I want to touch someone like you, Roscoe??

If you need a defenseman, Redden is available.

By the time you get by these last three weeks, you'll have to reach up a Looonnnnngggg way to get to third.

I think you should just rest up and play for third place.

It'll probably be an improvement from previous efforts.

I was hoping that nobody would notice. :sssh:

Sigh. Yes, we are in trouble, but we hope to work it out. I still don't regret letting Miller go. He was stinking it up too.

The main problem is Kipper. If he could just do what he was drafted to do, I wouldn't even need a backup.

That being said, I'm happy with my team. I should end up in third place, I like my players, and this is my first year trying fantasy hockey. :)

Woody
02-25-2007, 08:44 PM
I'm with you Tater.

It's my first year also.

Just lost Hartnell to an injury. Trying to find a good replacement after Roscoe has sucked up all the FA is difficult.

Could St. Louis move to Kalamazoo?? (my home town). I could let go of Jarret Stall (He's on the IR):nod:

I'm not worried about Roscoe's three-legged goalie. He'll pull a groin and the whole mess will colapse. Besides, Roscoe only plays his goalies until he has the three appearances and then he sits all of them and rides out the GAA and %. A real courageous guy. He's always sitting people. Usually he's not palying with a full deck!

ISN'T THIS FUN!!!

By the way, Roscoe, I see you got Redden. Good for you. I have 3 of the top 21 defensemen, including NUMERO UNO (Lidstrom). You can't have any of them!!

That's it? That's the best you've got? You Canadians are such pushovers. All that cold weather froze your hearts. ;)

Don't even start with injuries and underperforming. I had my share of injuries as well pal. Drury and Sullivan missed the entire week and Briere missed a game as well. At least your guy was on IR so you could add someone to replace him.

And how well do you think Jagr will do when I don't even put him in my lineup? I could have had an extra 0 goals, 0 assists +0, 0 faceoffs, 0 GWG, 0 PPA, 0 PPG, 0 SHA, and 0 SHG if I had him in my lineup on Saturday.

Well, it looks like we are going to have a great finish.

Three very good teams (Darth, Roscoe, Woody) fighting for first place and the two bye spots.

Two other really good teams (Bezeach & Jammer) who could certainly still win it all without byes.


Roscoe has his hands full this week (we tried warning you not to save the tough matches for last).

On paper, Darth and Woody have the easier road, but that and $1.25 (American) will get you a cup of coffee. ($6.89 in Canuckia).

Great competition fellas. I've enjoyed it. Thanks for starting the league Superstarov...wherever you are...in a nursery? (You may or may not make the playoffs...can you catch a squirrel?)

Woody
03-06-2007, 05:33 PM
Well. Tater, thanks for putting me in the good catagory.

I'm not sure I agree. For a newbie I'm doing O.K. but my team isn't that strong. We've been short players due to injuries (including two right now as the playoffs approach). I guess everyone has those problems, but I've been playing without a full deck most of the year.:)

Trying to beat seasoned pros like you and Roscoe is tough. Not knowing most of the players is also tough.

I can only think that my success this year is due to my superior managing abilty and coaching. :pound:

Or, perhaps, luck and the weak level of competion. :pound::pound::pound:

I may need them against the Sandwich-man or the Rodent-keeper.

Another question, it looks like the finals cover a two-week period. Is that true??? (I may not need to know :)).

My season has really come unravelled in the last two weeks. I should have fought harder for the bye.

Crosby and Malkin have been less than wonderful, and Zetterberg is out.

Compound that with running into a HOT Squirrels team and I am in deep doo-doo.

Squirrels are HOT.

I ran into them on the last week of the regular season. Got beat, but snuck into the bye spot.

This week my guys are red hot and I'm not playing anyone. I get the Micro-Squirrels winner who should be hard to beat. Meanwhile, DiPetro is injured and Broduer got bombed. Goalies are a strange breed.

Its tough near the top!!!!

Florida Hockey = Bad ice surface and fans throwing rats.

well if any of you remember watching the 96 cup finals bettween the avs and florida it was very bad ice conditions and that was in june!!!

so as long as there is ice in miami it isnt gonna be good

Florida Panthers FAQ Page (http://www.darsys.com/panth/pfaq.html)

Soon, a tradition would be born. That night Mellanby scored two goals in a 4-3 win. Goalie John Vanbiesbrouck called it a "rat trick." Later that night in the locker room, an unidentified team member marked the spot on the wall with a circle and inscription "R.I.P. Rat 1." Two games later, on 13 October 1995, the team's third home game which was a 6-2 win against Ottawa, two rubber rats hit the ice after a Panther goal. This was the first recorded rat throwing. The next game the total was 16 and the game after that it was 50. By the time the playoffs began, the per-game rat count exceeded 2,000.

I get pastrami on rye after all. Hold the mayo.

Its interesting that we both have Nashville goalies. DePetrio got bonked, so I picked Mason. I guess they can only play one at a time. Maybe Hasek will pull another groin, and micro doesn't make the goalie minimum.

Lets hope we can knock out the Canadians (not Montreal, stupid).

But playing hockey in Florida is rediculous. Especially since St. Louis isn't even in Florida. (Why roscoe made that trade is beyond me)

I don't think I can put up with Taters comments for that long. With his high-powered offense and air-tight goalies, I'm definitely at a big disadvantage.

My goalies were incredible last night. Kipper won 1-0 in a shootout (Made me happy I drafted him #3 overall) and Nabokov only gave up one goal in a victory. Woody's guy Brodeur did well too.

Unfortunately, my scoring was almost non-existent and lucky for me, Woody's was nothing to write home about either so I'm up 7-5.

My guys had been red hot so I was expecting this. If they don't break out of it soon though, my hopes for another championship banner will be shattered.

I'm the number one seed, but really I think Woody is the favorite. For the year, he lead the league in more categories than anyone else. It's going to be a tough battle, but I'm just happy to be here. I know I would have had an equally tough road against Bezeach, Jammer or Roscoe.

Yeah, rent a player does suck, IMO, and I don't like doing it, but last week, I was totally outnumbered by Jammer every day until the last day.

This time, it's more a case of my offense is going in the tank and it's the zero hour, so I'm trying to figure out who to use. Koivu may be a keeper. We'll see.

I can't keep up with Tater's rent-a-player. He's got a bunch of St. Louis guys so he can get a few players on the ice today, but he has already dropped them all for tomorrow. Personally, I say the hell with that. I'm going with the guys who got me here. My lineups are all set through Sunday. May the luckiest guy win!!!

It's darn close Woody. Your guys are awesome. But if I win it's SKILL. If you win it's luck.

I got home a few minutes late yesterday, and couldn't get Nabokov in my lineup. Dumb. Whenever I play scared I pay for it. Damn the torpodoes from here on in.

Man, it sure would be SWEET to win though. I can see that banner now. Hopefully it's by my name! But it's WAY to early to tell.

Uggh. I saw it coming for days Woodward. I think I should get a screen print of the scoreboard because today may be the last day I cling to my lead in the championship round.

I can't say I didn't give it my best shot. I threw everything I could at you but my guys have slowed way down, and yours keep coming on. Plus Brodeur has been stellar in making up ground in my early advantage in the nets.

No, I am not conceding. Of course not. But the momentum has certainly swung :hanged2: your way.

Damn Hasek.

Yesterday was another shutout day in the NHL. Several guys got one... including my arch nemisis Damninik Hasek.

Woody

I never thought Hasek would last all season. He got me a couple of times!!

My battle with Tater has been epic. I had pretty much given up on winning any goalie stats after Kipper pitched a shutout, but Brodeur keeps putting up good numbers, and I'm playing with only one goalie, mostly.

These last few days are going to be fun(?). Tater has played at least 40 guys the past two weeks in an effort to overwhelm me. It ain't worked.

However this turns out, I've had a blast!!!

Can't wait for next year!!!

Two days left and I'm up 7-5 Woody, but I am fairly certain you are going to grab the title. I can't hold you off any longer although I tried my best!!!


If you tie it up, I think you'll win the tiebreaker because I believe the tiebreaker is based on goals scored. (I believe that's how Jammer was determined the winner in his series with Bezeach).

I'm going to need to be lucky to pull this one out but I see too many ways where you can beat me. If you win you most certainly have earned it. Man. I wanted this title in the worst way, but I am a rookie and the competition was FIERCE!!

You are so right. This has been a blast. Competitive to the end for many teams.

Hopefully, we've got Jammer, you, Bezeach Roscoe, Super, Redline?, and myself for next year. Ideally we can get one or three more teams who will really be interested in playing.

I know we are losing Linwood and Slippy..thanks for being good sports guys despite your lack of interest. :) Squirrels may or may not be interested, if invited back.

Good season to everyone.

One of the more entertaining leagues I've been in.

I just wish I would've done better.

It's tough being in a league with a lot of other hometown fans. I went most of the season without a single Red Wing on my team.

Woody
04-07-2007, 04:15 PM
Great league, Super. (and I only had one Red Wing - Lidstrom).

Roscoe did a good job recruiting teams and leading us astray.

Now, if we could outlaw rent-a-player during the playoffs......

But that's for next year.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!

It's technically called "streaming". You can do it during the playoffs because you don't really care if you release a guy and can't get him back.

You need to remember...it's all about numbers. The actual players don't matter and it's advantageous to keep your lineup full every day. I have absolutely no loyalty to a players name. He doesn't know or care if I dump him.

It can be a pain because it is time consuming though.

Man, I feel you about the rent-a-player Woody. It's exhausting!!

Perhaps a roster freeze at the trade deadline or having a playoff roster move cap for next season?

Woody
04-07-2007, 10:10 PM
Yes,Jammer.

A roster freeze at the beginning of the palyoffs, or a roster cap at 18 or 20 to cover any injuries that may occur during the playoffs, but limit the number of total roster spots available during the playoffs.

Otherwise, it was so much fun!!! (its not much fun when you have 5-6 regular guys playing and the other guy runs in 10 newbies for the day.)

Hey, I'm a first timer. This was my very first fantasy league of any kind.

Learned a lot from watching you experts pull all sorts of crap. Hoarding all the good goalies, only playing 3 defensemen because wingers can garner more points, getting centers that are listed at two postions so you can get more guys on the ice, etc.........

Just you wait until next year! I'm drafting the best three goalies I can with my first picks!!!

Woody, 2nd place is a great finish for your first every fantasy sports experience.:second:

Micro, you put up a heck of a fight for 3rd place but don't worry, the best man won.:third:

The rest of you, well, you just sucked. ;)

Thanks again for the league Super! :thumb:

Thanks Jammer. I really wanted to win this bad. I "worked" hard to get there, but I was very very fortunate to win.

I'm not lying when I say that the first thing I did this morning was check the results and make note that you need a banner.

But give me some time. I haven't even had a coffee yet.

Congrats to everyone. Especially Jammer. If Les Habitants can't make the playoffs, at least you did well in fantasy hockey. :)

You, Roscoe, Bezeach, Jammer and I can battle it out on the baseball diamond now. I love rivalries. No doubt some new ones will develop over there too (if so, maybe we can bump a couple of them over into our hockey league next season:bump2:).

My attention :sherlock:will be on fantasy baseball as soon as I finish up in Novice league basketball. The season starts soon, right?:nerd2::MusicBigGrin:

Oh man, what a total collapse. But at least the Leafs didn't make it either! What a great ending of the season. It came down to a shootout in the final game of the regular season to decide the last playoff spot. It doesn't get any better than that!
