Thanks for taking my deadweight loser with like no points in his last 12 games. I was offering him to everyone and trying to get rid of him....

And if noone took him...he got waived on Sat. :-D

Oh well. He wasn't much of a difference from Umberger and I've been hearing a lot of rumblings about the Bruins going after him. If they land him, I'd expect to see him turn things around.

He won't. He is a lazy useless weakkneed chicken slop piece of dudu. He might for like 5 games, then back to normal. He played well for about 2 weeks for me, the other 2 weeks I kept him...were painful.

He is as bad as BOOOOOOOOOOOO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Okay. maybe not that bad.

Now all I have to do is trade for Kesler. Then I have Burr-Kes and that evil bugger Umberger.

Kes and Umberger hate each other.

No, I think if Boston trades for him, he turns it around. Edmonton just wasn't the right fit for him. And it's sounding like they will trade for him. A recent article in one of the Boston papers has claimed that friends of Cole say he's telling people he's heading to Boston.

Top of the table. For the first time. Woo.

Although at the start i didn't like the Max and Pace settings, it could now come into my favour.

Not enough it won't. Maybe against a few guys. But not against me or Corinthians.

The Max/Pace is making me scratch my head over scratches. I don't want my lesser players take games from Ovechkin and others. It's a rule I didn't give much focus at the beginning of the season, maybe I should have

I've never quite "got" that part either. All of the fantasy hockey leagues I've participated in before have been "head to head" style. Each week you go up against another team and see who does the best in each stat category. Then you have a number of Wins, Losses, and Ties for that week. Each weeks Wins, Losses, and Ties accumulate over the season and that's how you get your standings. That way always made sense to me.

That's probably a better way, it makes it a more closer competition. Because if someones guys suddenly heat up now, it's going to be difficult to catch the guys near the top, as they are so far ahead.

Something funny has happened with the standings in the ESPN league. Aussie sharks (SJ Sharks) has a 0 for every stat he has. if you click on standings and then the "real time season standings" button on the left, you will notice it is completely messed up.

Not sure if this is something that they are correcting, but maybe someone who has commish powers should check on it.

How strange. But it's fine on the official standings. :-? There aren't any commish settings that can change this. Hopefully it's a glitch that will iron itself out after the next round of games...

It's really frustrating that I was absent for a month. My team has slipped down from 9th to 16th. ](*,) :cry:
