I am in for an epic thrashing this week. Big time. Knew I was in trouble but the day the Boars have had. Wow,.

I am in for an epic thrashing this week. Big time. Knew I was in trouble but the day the Boars have had. Wow,.

Yeah, that was a good day

[batdad]

Bite me. Thank god for (cannot believe I am saying this) OEL. Without him...wow. Even uglier.

[Manimal]

Losing Karlsson hurts like hell, I must say

[batdad]

Yeah...like that is showing.

[visualdarkness]

I add Prust to get some PIMs. I get one GWG, one assist and loads of plus.
I add Hainsey to get Blocked Shots. I get an assist.

Now time to looks for a couple of borderline Lady Byng nominies for some PIMs.

[batdad]

Sometimes it happens that way. I never thought Cody Mcleod would score for me. But well.....he did. Now expecting Aaron Pulashaj to get me 40 PIMs tomorrow.


And Manimal..........


GAME ON

[visualdarkness]

I need a small change up to optimize my team so I'm looking into trades now. PIMs, blocked shots and +/- are the biggest priorities and GWGs and PPPs second in line. Assists and PPGs are not prioritized and I'm standing flat with SOG.

Also I may risk losing Theodore's work load for a more winning goalie.

Nice one Batdad. Picking up a FA that is injured

He saved me from doing the same!

[batdad]

ARgh. THat was not posted prior to me picking him up. Oh well. Probably came 2 seconds after I added him. Kind of luck I am having lately.

[visualdarkness]

Wow, one of my most productive players in Matt Read just got reported as out for 6 weeks! Now it's time to decide on drop, keep or trade as I already have Hartnell hogging the IR for one or two weeks more.

When it's not Van Riemsdyk (as a Flyer) it's Briere.
When it's not Briere it's Hartnell and Couturier.
When it's not Hartnell and Couturier it's Read.

Oh those Flyers, why do I hog them?

[batdad]

I have no idea.

And hey Manimal...you have no idea how unfortunate I almost was. I made an offer to Visual yesterday before the FLyer Penguin game that included Hartnell.....and Matt Read.....LOL. Thankfully he did not see it before I cancelled out....or he would have got three healthy players including Jeff Carter...for a guy out another week and a guy with a concussion.

[visualdarkness]

Send it again!
Read is out with multiple torn muscles in the rib cage, not a concussion. It doesn't help me though...
Please Flyers, just throw Hartnell in there next week and I won't angry with you, not so much at least.

[batdad]

Not going to happen....now Del Zotto is hurt too. LOL...so glad I did not make a deal there. All 3 guys got hurt. Maybe you should offer out three more....then they will get hurt too. LOL.

[visualdarkness]

I'm retiring from the the trade market, it's cursed!

[batdad]

COme on make another offer to me. I dare you.

[visualdarkness]

I dare you to accept my offer! If you decline I'll have to prepare for a massive IR list.

[visualdarkness]

Coward!

[batdad]

LOL...I gave you a decent counter offer, but had to cancel it to make sure all your players got injured.

So..who goes down first? I am betting on Toews.

[visualdarkness]

You evil evil man...

[visualdarkness]

Thanks batdad, now Hall got suspended for two games and Prust is out with an injury.
And Hartnell come back but I have him on the banch today

[batdad]

LOL. Bieksa and Staal both went down for me in addition to Green. My d is dying. So pretty much even. We should stay away from each other.

[visualdarkness]

This round is way too close, standing at 6-6-0 with only two of my players with two periods left today. Though I would have had the lead if I had put Hartnell in and Hall on the bench.
I'm glad that my team is leaps better when it comes to goalies or this would be probably be a sure loss. I hope this a just a small bump in the road with my team soon going almost healthy.

[batdad]

I have made way more of a game of this than I thought I could after that horrible 1st day. That being said, if I had seen Orr injured I might have freaking won this week. Slight chance I still could, but doubtful.

Hope Vis loses too....will make for one heck of a battle for the final 3 playoff spots.

Clowe suspended, and my entire defensive crew is injured or sick. Yay.
