Duh de duh duh.

There is a season...who knew? So are we all still prepared to take part? Or do we need to find new owners?
Transaction time coming soon....
Manimal...what is appropriate? I say JAn 13 we reopen everything.
And could you get a rollcall note out to have everyone post if IN or OUT.
If we do not hear back would have to be considered out and could likely hook up some new dudes with a team or two.


FYI: I rocked the draft and am going to kick all your tiny little butts all the way back to your tiny little homes. :-D

The team was 3-19 last year...I'll be looking to improve on that! :-D

Amazing! I thought we'd miss the whole season. Starts around 15-19th with 48 or 50 games.

My lineup is all messup lot of injuries...

So....ladies...how much longer do I wait for my friend Ryan O\Reilly to sign before I dump his stupid arse? I know...til next year. SCrew you. You all gonna lose. :-D

Actually...my team is only average in my opinion now. Guys got older, and just not as strong. Best defense I have ever had. goaltending is okay, but my Centers suck. My LW/RW is okay. Balanced...but not outstanding anywhere.

When I look at my first opponents roster...I would think...I am going to get manhandled.

Not by me. Well, I got players that are up for a break through year but I lack depth and got a bunch of players that are more likely to regress quite heavily.

What team are you? Cause it is the glasgow goons who look formidable to me. Crosby, J Staal, H Sedin, Granlund, St Louis, Neal, Yandle, Byfuglien, Keith, Justin Schultz. His goaltending is iffy with Halak and Hedberg. A half time starter and a back up...but man oh man. That roster is amazing. Gonna have to win PIM, SHP and all goalie categories just to have a chance.

We shall see...but I feel like I am in trouble in my first game.

Surahammar Sloppy Slippers, you know the guy who traded away guys like Burrows and Suter for gambles?

I got Zetterberg for an underachieving Burrows who was even benched a game or so. After the trade Zetterberg went into a slump and then got injured and for you Burrows went on a hot streak instead. I traded the injured slumping Zetterberg for a injured "soon to get back" Toews but he stayed injured and Zetterberg came back and scored over 1 p/g. Nice chain of trades eh? ](*,)
I got high hopes for Toews though!

Suter was rumored to go to a defensive team while Wideman had some stats I needed more and was rumored to sign with a really offensive team, Flames was not what I had in mind though...

I must have got Burr from someone else. Because I never had Zetterberg...and I never would have dealt him for Burrows. :-D

Manimal--Catch Up not around much anymore, and Justintinov never around...not sure what to do. Give them the first week and if do not show?

Actually lets advertise for new owners and see what we get. Send Catch Up and Justin notes telling them if do not hear anything by Friday we will be booting them and bringing in the new guys. Explain that in the ad for two new guys as well.

Well, the first one is decent:
Con traded Henrik Zetterberg, Det LW to SURA
Con traded Peter Budaj, Mon G to SURA
SURA traded Alex Burrows, Van LW to Con
SURA traded Ilya Bryzgalov, Phi G to Con

Though I wonder a bit what i thought here, I should have gotten more:
HCF traded Jonathan Toews, Chi C to SURA
HCF traded Dennis Wideman, Wsh D to SURA
SURA traded Henrik Zetterberg, Det LW to HCF
SURA traded Ryan Suter, Nsh D to HCF

Yep goalies are probably going to be my achilles heel, think ill need to try and upgrade through trading methinks
