Maybe someday you can rise up from being a bottom 5 team

WOAH WOAH WOAH


since when has Paul ever been more than bottom 3?

seems like a lousy tiebreaker to use IMO, but that's fine. just wanted to make sure

why would that be a lousy tiebreaker? it's the only point where winning matchups rather than losing them actually matters, so at least it's better than nothing...

if anything, our lousy stuff starts right after that, with the retarded seeding system we're copying & pasting from the NHL and the fact as of now (despite fantrax would allow for it) we still can't sub injured players during playoffs week. But that's stuff for another season, maybe

[kyuss]

Anyway, I don't mind facing STL rather than WPG. I already went through fuckin' Bob this past week and it wasn't funny, plus CLB faces the lousy Devils again this week, before a b2b vs the Sabres..

STL is more dangerous offensively but weaker on faceoffs, and has a few less GP this week.

The fact I'm facing Crawford makes the Darling's injury even worse though. The good feeling about my team sure didn't last much beyond the deadline, Darling went down for weeks right after it, Turris stopped taking faceoffs for whatever reasons and Hemsky came back out of nowhere to mess up with my cap.

Awful premises for these playoffs.

Turris has also stopped killing penalties

[kyuss]

sure, I noticed. But I wasn't really counting on him for that, faceoffs though..

[The BBKL Insider]

this is one of my reasons why i suspect the underdogs to take round 1.

except for josh. he's taking the west.

josh vs nick final

[Bruyns]

I'm liking my matchup against MTL this week. 3 skater GP advantage and looks like he will be missing Okposo and at least one game of Grabner.

Wish I knew what was going on with Gibson, but thankfully STL has a b2b so Hutton will get a start if Gibson doesn't play.

[thom54]

god DAMN phaneuf better play ... i need an MJ "Flu" game out of him

[Nick]

this is one of my reasons why i suspect the underdogs to take round 1.

except for josh. he's taking the west.

josh vs nick final

would be comical if this was the year my team did anything, some of the other rosters i've had fall flat..and then this group of scrubs shows up LOL

I don't see it.

[Tony]

[Lee]

I feel like this is more of an attempt to jinx me than to predict the finals, but I will accept it regardless haha, thanks

[Fraser]

Cgy goes out round 1

Points from Dillon and Johns in night one seem like a good omen to me

LOL.. really hate the bullshit NHL seeding..

but anyway for this year if the top teams come out from the west in the first round... it will be a tough matchup no matter what...

[hong57]

so is this the first year i win the conference in the regular season? i remember every year LAK is atop of me in the standing
