I wish I could have seen the Tampa/Carolina game. Finished up a 0-0 tie and the Bulin Wall was standing tall. The Hurricanes outshot the Lightning 37-21 for the game including 8-1 in the overtime period.

i would like to trade Al Macinnis for Sergi Gonchar.

Oh Mighty Commissioner Takara, I beseech thee: Please let me drop Forsberg and add Markus Nasland. I would be ever so grateful. :(

 

On to other matters. How the Sam Houston did I end up in first place? I know I have plenty of experience in fantasy sports, but I know squat about hockey. I guess this proves it is not what you know, but what resources you know! :lol:

Takara, I'd like to make a couple if trades.

 

As much as I like Mogilny with him injured it buts a drag on my team

 

So I'll trade Mogilny for Todd Bertuzzi.

 

I'll also trade Martin St. Louis for Alex Tanguay.

 

Hopefully, those trades will put me into first place.

[Jack_Bauer 1]

Yeah, bysty and you're not doing so hot in the other pool on yahoo. You know, the one that therabidirishman started. No big deal, its just for fun anyway.

[ddillard 2]

Takara, I am still showing Nylander on my team, and did you make the other trades that I sent?

[edmcgon 0]

Go Hockey Borg!!!!!

Ya I havent even been to the Yahoo pool in sooooo long. That one I stopped caring about after it picked my team for me. I thought that was pretty weak. Lol.

[Takara_Soong 4]

Takara, I am still showing Nylander on my team, and did you make the other trades that I sent?

The trades have all been made. You're updated team is shown in this thread. In the Excel spreadsheet he is still listed because the points he got before the trade are counted in your totals. The players you traded for points total start from the date of the trade so if you traded for a player who had 14 points on the day of the trade those 14 points do not become part of your total.

Well I'm in last place. Haha. Oh well. At least the Oilers beat Vancouver (after sucking so terribly bad for so terribly long).

[edmcgon 0]

How 'bout dem Hockey Borg?! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

 

(The sound you hear is thousands of Borg applauding. You don't hear anything? That's what it sounds like!)

 

Just further proof that good old American know-how can beat the Canadians at their own game! (just trying to get the "hosers" riled up!)

 

In the immortal words of General Zod, from "Superman II":

Is there no one on this planet to challenge me?

Edited January 10, 2004 by edmcgon

[Jack_Bauer 1]

I will challenge you. I'm only 15 points back.

And as for that American-Canadian comment, well I won't even touch that. It's a little too easy.

 

And bysty, you're not last. The Redneck Romulans are still 3 points behind you.

Lol. Ya but I think I'm going to stick to ESPN NHL on my XBOX. It's a blast.

 

And that Canadian burn... weak. Lol. We all know Canadian hockey players are far superior to the American ones.

Of course Canadian hockey players are better. Because of this, I would fully expect Canadians to be better at fantasy hockey than Americans. Apparently, this is NOT the case.
