Minstrel Hockey League 2013

And on the other hand....if I hold on, Westcan catches Manimal and VD loses....I am in first place. (Goals higher than VD)

[nino33]

Westcan catches Manimal

Alas doesn't look likely (given I've lost all 3 goalie categories I'm surprised I'm still close)

[visualdarkness]

You can be sure that I'm losing at least. My team haven't done anything right!

[batdad]

Argh Nino...Gagner needed assisst not a goal. Sheesh.

And in other news....Rangers win in shootout, yet somehow Ryan Miller is being credited with a win. Um.....That had better change.

Tied in PP Points, I have a one point lead in assists, and a five PIM lead....this is maybe the tightest game I have ever been involved in.

[batdad]

LOL. Giordano gets an assist......I thought PP assist....just AFTER the Canuck Penalty expired. Literally a second. Saving the game in my favour at this point. As long as they change Miller win back. Still going to be real hard to hold on.

[visualdarkness]

This is the biggest blow out I've been in. My goaltending is bad at the moment and my team really needs it to win, Black Bears got awesome playing players in the net instead!

[nino33]

Usually I win the Assists category (I'm currently #2 in total assists), but right now I'm down 19-22

A spanking loss is how I lost my 14 game winning streak in the first season. Was 14-0 and then lost 10-1-1 to I believe Manimal. OR maybe Corinthians.

Sent ESPN fantasy a note about the Miller win. God....Rangers win the game but Miller gets a win and Lundquist does not? Um...that is the difference between me having to hold onto a tie in 2 of 3 categories (assists, PPP, SHP), or ties in all 3.


This is just silly. It better get changed.

[batdad]

Fixed it.

[batdad]

PHew....maybe. Apparently scoring changes can happen for up to 7 days. So just one assist, or a PPP added in the next 7 days....and youch I lose and he wins.


And what is even more interesting. I barely lose to Manimal (5-4-3) if I was playing him. But I beat Canucks 7-5-0.

And I only beat Surahammer 7-5-0. I lose to Bears 8-3-1.

I would have lost to the Goons 4-7-1 and beaten Don't Toews 6-5-1...that really makes little sense.

[batdad]

1, Boars 5-1
2. Sancouver 5-1
3. Surahammer 5-1
4. Bears 4-2

Bunch of guys 3-3.


So now the top 3 have some breathing room. Only 4 more games left.

[timmy_t]

Hey batdad, are you in any other hockey leagues?

[batdad]

No. I have no time for any more.

I just went back and looked....it was Black Bears ...Adam Cherry who broke my streak of 14-0. They were called the Mustangs back then. And it was a close one...I lost 4-5-3. Corinthians blew me out 9-1-2 a couple weeks later. THat is what I remember

[timmy_t]

Oh, I was just curious. I understand not having time for more.

[getzlaf15]

My team is the black bears. Was mustangs.

All I needed was a shp for a 12-0-0! darn it! My team just worked this week!

[batdad]

That's right Getz....now I recall being completely widdled about that 14-0 game. There were some statistic shenanigans. No I kid....but yeah I remember hating losing that one to you.

[batdad]

Hey VD...How is Garon working out for you this weekend?


Ah...Andrei Meszaros. Wonder how he will fit in if stays healthy?

[batdad]

You have to love SH goals that are Nielsen (Hamoncic, some guy noone has or wants).


I now have a legit shot at 12-0-0 lead after tonight. If Niemi wins and Smith loses, and I hold plus minus and assists

[visualdarkness]

Hey VD...How is Garon working out for you this weekend?


Ah...Andrei Meszaros. Wonder how he will fit in if stays healthy?

It was a move or the future as I had one more transfer to make, no real third goalie and I'm pretty sure to win this week. Better to start the week with a possibly decent goalie.

[batdad]

Just got put on the IR buddy....Called up Desjardins.

Edit: I see he may be playing by Tuesday...still..risky move.

[Manimal]

I've missed the entire week but we are tied with Corinthians with only two categories out of reach.
I am hoping for a solid Sunday so we can stay on top of the league!

[nino33]

I've improved to 4-3-0 overall with a 6-4-2 win this week over Prague Dead Parrots!

Next up...Corinthians Red Army! So I'll probably be a .500 team again after next week! HaHa

[visualdarkness]

Poor CAMMALLERI AND MEATBALLS, not only are they basically inactive but they just lost Malkin again for one or two weeks.

I lost my scorer(!) Prust for a time and we'll see what I'll do about it. I slightly crashed my extra goalie on the IR strategy but I'm not that sad aver it.

[Manimal]

I just realised the play-offs have two-week matchups

[batdad]

I've missed the entire week but we are tied with Corinthians with only two categories out of reach.

Nope. No you did not. LOL....I have 3 more goals than you now.


Oh, and as for the playoffs being 2 week games? Wow. Is that something you can change the settings for? I mean extending the regular season another two weeks would give me a chance to actually play against a weak team. Everyone I have played (Save Minnesota) has been above 500 when I played them. Blech,
