Remember that time I predicted a breakout game from Schwartz and put him in the lineup?


Yeah, me neither......

Yeah, playing Anisimov instead of him today, probably cost you the league title.

If anything is going to cost me the league title, it will definitely be drafting Crosby and then not taking Ott...

Through a week-and-a-half... I've been enjoying the league.
Though I'm getting a bit of neck strain from having to look over my shoulder... meh... could be worse...
Go Team Back-Up Goalie!

Well I think you can survive the obvious Crosby error - but Ott? That might be a bigger undo.

Tiger Balm for the neck, Mike and Tiger Williams for your PIM woes.

And here comes the rain again, love monsoon season. Hopefully it helps me cultivate the Rainman personna in RHRS.

This is kinda quirky, but has anyone noticed this - I picked up Nelson and he scores 2 goals the next day, I picked up Daley and he scored 2 goals the next day, I picked up Vatanen and he scored 2 goals the next day. So Stalman is now the man of the hour - can he keep the streak alive? Probably just jinxed it, huh?

Well... damn!
That's how you work the waiver wire!!!

6th... for now... I'll take it.
Just got Boone Jenner back... hopefully Dubinsky soon.
My team is last (1/12pts) in a category I normally do very well in... PIM... but climbing... and lurking.
91... 98... 103... 111... 116... 119... 120... I just need to keep researching for that one big goon away game.

I had subscribed to finishing 2nd in FOW (to Ichi)... but with the Stammer move to RW and Jenner raking HUGE FOW from the LW... I may still be able to shoot for 1st.
Also I'm lurking back in Hits (6/12pts)... Jenner should help bigtime there too.
Dubinsky obviously with his return.

And - my big move... is I finally, finally found my Defensemen to round out my corps:
Despres (PIT)
Bortuzzo (PIT)
McQuaid (BOS)

With the PIT/BOS D-injuries, should be lots of playing time there and LOTS of PLUSes... where I've been struggling 4/12pts.
+... HIT... BLK... PIM.
Oh yes... oh yes...
Pengwin. Base. D-Man. Strategy!

If Drouin can hit top six & PP1 time, LOOK OUT!

To be honest... I still haven't figured out what to do with goalies.
Effin NiklaBack - total fail on my part. Total. fail.

Shoeless again looking like the frontrunner with his damn skill with goalies (curse him).
I think I'm in a pack of contenders for 2nd... but we are all going to need Rick's goalies to fall apart to have a chance as he's way back and slow-playing his GP strategy.

Props to temek for digging himself out of that disastrous start... I wonder how high he'll climb.
Such a strategist.

NBQ is a mirage at the top.
I'm. not. worried.

lol, a mirage...you mean like the French fighter jet? The sad thing is that I pooched my draft list (tried something new...didn't like it) and was flying by the seat of my pants. That said, I've only made 8 moves and the two guys with me at the top have made 33 and 38 respectively, so maybe I didn't pooch my draft too badly after all. I've never been in a league with face-off wins and I think I almost like it, even though I have been scrambling for FOW. We'll see if I can stay at or near the top when all is said and done.

Not that Shoeless needs a pat on the back right now... but he's separated himself from the pack.
We really need his goalies to derail - or the champ will be a back-to-back.
