Batdad, I don't know who will make a trade with you for Budaj, I won't do it for sure.
Of course there're some people that like this kind of player, they are usually call masochist ':-p'

Ed Jovanovski for sale!

yes, he only has 1 goal and -7 but his 30 shots and 23min ATOI can be important for someone who needs to improve in that category.

but please, don't come up with deals for guys who i can pick up off Waivers.

especially i'm looking for goals and goalie wins (maybe gimme budaj back - cranky old hockey dad.

) but open to any offers.

I can't believe it. I'm up to 15th! Now that I've made my way up that far now. I had been around 19th or 20th for a while there.

Also surprising is that is 2nd on my team in scoring (and assists) behind Crosby. He's got 3 goals and 11 assists. He's only 9.5% owned in ESPN's fantasy league. If he's available in any other leagues any of you are playing in, I'd grab him.

What some people need to learn about this type of pool. Once you get to 20 you cannot get any higher in that category.

Advice: To win this pool you have to be able to judge when it is time to move a player from a category you are doing very well in, to make another category that you suck in better.

For example. I have 19 in PP Goals....I can only gain one point there, and must decide when it is time to move one of those guys to shore up my weak spot in net.

And dang..why don't Smith's 11 PIM's count? They did in the real time stats, but now..they are gone. Goalie with 11 PIMS is the only reason he does me any good right now.

Just saw...Nabokov down! BOUCHER BOUCHER BOUCHER.

So my goalternders are no

Smith
Boucher
Weekes
Budaj

Um...so yeah somehow or other 1 have 4 starters right now. Not quality starters mind you, but actual starters. WOW!

Post by **Manimal** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 5:51 pm

Anyone got a goalie for me. My two starters are playing like rubbish. I'm last in GAA and save % so I need to do something

Post by **batdad** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 5:55 pm

Hmmm...check your offers. maybe a shakeup in order here.

Post by **Manimal** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 6:05 pm

I'll have to think for a while. I'll get back to you.

Ladies and gentlemen...welcome to the Mark Parrish show...Umm..3 goals in a period and a half. 2 on the PP. But why did his ES goal have to come with Beauchemin on the ice?

My team is Sucking bad style tonight. Zubov returns, i hope for something good. I get an assist taken from him later on in the game.

Post by **batdad** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:35 am

Sorry...Parrish tipped that

Post by **B. Stinson** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:04 am

Figures... I forget to put Hejda in my line-up, and he goes ahead an picks up nice ice-time and two assists.

I don't care enough to be good at this =P

Post by **Manimal** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 12:13 pm

Let's hope the Stars turn things around so Turco can get better stats.
I'm currently in 9th position despite being last in two categories!

Post by **getzlaf15** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:50 pm

Fantasy side of things i need Stars' Defense to solidify, now Zubov back i'm hopeing they aren't as leaky as i'm still needing both +/- and SOG, although when Briere's back, he won't mind put the shots on net.

Anyone interested in making a trade. I'm open to offers.

Post by **getzlaf15** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 12:48 am

Nooo, Briere returns on the night where i could not check the news. He scores a PPG and who knows what else. Arghhhh

To add insult to injury, this news was actually out early afternoon on Friday.

Post by **getzlaf15** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 1:12 am

WHAT! ESPN and other reports told me "he's ahead of schedule but still out till at least late november"! It's the 9th now. That aint late november.

Yeah, they're all a little slow with they're news.

He was originally expected to be out at least three weeks, which put his return at at least 15 November. But it's been known for a few days here in Philadelphia that he's been skating and feeling well this week. And then Friday afternoon the Flyers site released word that he'll be playing tonight; A full week ahead of schedule.

YOu rely on ESPN news...you get killed by it.

Oh, and of course...BOOOOOOOOOOOO DDDDDDDIIIIEEEEEEEEEE

Jesus...shutout. Of course I no dress him.

Sorry Batdad, I missed the deadline for your proposed trade (due to my aforementioned router problems). I'll take a look into it later today/tomorrow if it's still a possibility.

I can't believe how I've shot up the standings this weekend. Perhaps many of you have more games today than yesterday? Maybe my team will plummet again after today. It feels odd being in the dizzy heights of 12th place

Post by **archibalduk** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 1:42 pm

I forgot to mention - a BIG thanks to Brian for all of the work he's putting into the fantasy league. I love the weekly and monthy updates - it has enabled me to track of the other teams in the league (something I normally don't do). Great stuff, dude!

Post by **batdad** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 3:53 pm

Yeah. Thanks Mr. STinson..or to bring back a name from the past...Bruce was it?

Post by **batdad** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 3:55 pm

Oh and no worries archi..>I was just trying to rip you off....

Post by **CatchUp** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 5:11 pm

Alright, I'm in desperate need of ATOI, SOG, G and +/-

Hit me with your best shot! No one is untouchable - but I have a soft spot for Price!
