    Fu** you in no particular order:

    - Corey Perry: 1 goal in 12 games. Are you kidding me?
    - Shea Weber: 1 Assist in 13 games. What the hell?
    - Zach Parise: 1 goal in the last 8 games. Hello?!? Wake the fu** up!
    - Mikko Koivu: 1 Assist in the last 7 games. See above...
    - Jordan Eberle: 3 Assists in the last 8 games. You're supposed to score GOALS!!!!
    - Alain Vigneault: Schneider is your #1, not the other clown!

    You know you're in deep trouble when you get insulted with Viktor Fasth for Corey Perry Trade-offers...

    I think I drafted well enough, but my keepers are killing me. Oh well, there's always next season...

    I got an offer yesterday of Kopitar, Bergeron and Burns for Brodeur and Markov in a long term points only keeper pool. All of this because Kipper is injured and the guy thought I was desperate for a goalie!

    WTF is wrong with San Jose?
    WTF is wrong with Tampa Bay?
    Why is Jordan Staal making 6 million a year and he gets 40 seconds of 2nd pp time?
    Why is Halak now Samuel L. Jackson from Unbreakable?
    Why did Jamie Benn not get multiple points last night (I'm just kidding, being greedy of course)
    Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
    Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
    10 rounds of drafting
    F: Crosby, Point, P. Kane, JVR, Kopitar, Rakell, Tarasenko,
    D: Letang, Doughty, Karlsson, Grzelcyk, Faulk,
    G: Bob, Shesterkin, Demko, Kahkonen

    Not greedy, but have you seen Tlusty on the first pp in the last few games? That's where J STaal should be.

    I couldn't let a bitch-thread go by without taking a shot at NBC Sports for insisting on foisting Doc Emrick upon an unsuspecting populace.

    But, I guess if you wanted to hear an NHL game called like the Kentucky Derby, he's your man.

    I can single-handily kill a player's season by trading for them. Observe:

    I traded for Schultz, he now has two points in nine games since the deal.

    Joni Pitkanen, three points in nine games since I traded for him.

    I traded for Enstrom, he has no points in two games since the deal (after getting 12 in eight games before he joined my team).

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Announcers pronouncing Lindback's name Lindbaaaaaaaack. That's even more wrong than just saying Lindback in plain English. The proper way would be to say it like Lindbeck.

    And I just can't stand Florida's announcers when they go "hubie dooby doo!". Just call the game and leave your nonsense out of it. Shades of ******ed Rick Jeanneret.
    GO WINGS!

    Kyle Okposo and Erik Johnson suck. I'm just glad I didn't reach for either in my drafts...but still, I should have avoided them altogether!

    That is all.

    Drafting Okposo or Johnson at all is reaching for them ... Badabum-ching!

    Since starting my fantasy hockey career in 2008, not including this year, I've competed in 11 H2H leagues. I have never ever missed the H2H playoffs in any of those leagues. I'm currently in 9th in a keeper league for a team I took over prior to last season. I'm 14-points out of the last playoff spot. Coincidentally, 14 is the number of categories we count.

    Anyway, I just did some research, looking at my totals compared to the other teams. I only rank in the bottom half of the league in 4 out of 14 categories!!! How the hell is it possible for me to be on the outside looking in when my overall totals are so high?!?
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    If you have a couple teams in the league that just completely stink - and maybe you've played the tougher teams.

    Check this out:
    Rank Team W-L-T Pct Pts Last Week Moves
    1. New York Islanders........65-29-4
    2. Detroit Red Wings ........52-36-10
    3. Washingthon...............54-40-4
    4. Philadelphia Flyers.........52-39-7
    5. Toronto Maple Leafs.......48-40-10
    6. Atlanta Thrashers..........51-44-3
    7. Boston Bruins................48-41-9
    8. Montreal Canadiens........47-41-10
    9. Buffalo Sabres...............48-43-7
    10. Dallas Stars................48-44-6
    11. Vancouver Canucks........24-66-8
    12. Calgary Flames................9-83-6

    I'm 10th/12... with a winning record!
    (It's because our 12th team went AWOL, we locked his team, and everybody takes turn beating the crap out of him. Plus, 2nd-10th = very competitve... and only the top 6 make playoffs in this league.)

    I really haven't. Only three teams in our league are clearly below the average. I've played both of them and they ended in ties haha. I've also played another team who is below me in the standings twice, one of which I won 10-3 the other was a tie. By the way, that 10-3 win is my ONLY win this season. If I didn't know better, I would think the US government was somehow involved in a plot to ensure I miss the playoffs. I wonder if one of the other teams is secretly Obama?
