I'm still the leader. Discuss.

[devilonthetownhallroof]

My team has suddenly started sucking ass. Maybe the break will help them get back to playing well. I hope...

[FirstTimeCaller]

Thank god I didn't make that Staal trade!

[devilonthetownhallroof]

:sad: :sad:

[devilonthetownhallroof]

*bump*

Reminder that the NHL starts up again and so does our league. Can we sticky this again?

[nyscene911]

I need help this week

And Lets Go Islanders!

[ButtleMan]

I have lost Gagne for a couple of weeks thanks to the Olympics. :sad:

[wa2k99]

I had Esche and my opponent had Jagr lsat night. But I'm still winning 8-1!
My goaltending is bad (Esche, Lehtonen, Thomas, and I had Theodore) but my skaters include Forsberg, Gomez, P. Bergeron, Heatley, Kovalev, Zetteberg, Holmstrom, Nash, Zubov, Kaberle, Souray, Lidstrom, and Pitkanen. Right now, I'm 4th out of 12.

Let's Go Rangers!!!

[MisterMoss]

What an awful week today. i think i was -7 today.

[ViLmAfAn5128]

Hockey Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ButtleMan]

^^^There is a reason why you are banned ashat. :beer:

[FirstTimeCaller]

Wowzers... another blow out... my team is awesome (and not modest at all)!

[17a_tailgater]

looks like Master Gracey has leaped ahead of The Mighty One's.
eat that buttle.

[ButtleMan]

I would congroogalate SJ before I do you mr silent partner.

don't make me get all Jeff Beukaboom on your ass

[Nighthawk]

The Cole injury has been a pain in the ass, has it hurt anyone else's team?

[wa2k99]

Idiot move of the week:
I made a mistake with my lineups and I sat Tomas Kaberle last night! 3 assists, 1 goal. Damn!

[wa2k99]

Free agent goalie: Who should I get: Nittymaki or Roloson?

[FirstTimeCaller]

Are you guys even in TGG league?

[nyscene911]

Are you guys even in TGG league?
wa2k99 definately isn't. I have Roloson on my roster as my third goalie. I love him when he plays, but it just hasn't been enough. I like him going to Edm. should help me.

If you guys aren't in TGG, can you please make that clear when you post

[wa2k99]

No I'm not. The thing just said fantasy hockey thread, it never specified TGG. Sorry if there was any confusion

[MisterMoss]

2 straight weeks of horrible hockey for me. I'm making wholesale changes. Enough is enough.

[FirstTimeCaller]

No I'm not. The thing just said fantasy hockey thread, it never specified TGG. Sorry if there was any confusion


No reason to be sorry... it's all good. I just didn't know who you were. :up:

[MawaesDaMan]

My team is finally playing well. Big move this week. What is the playoff scenario for the league? Who makes it, when do they start? I am sure by asking this i am jinxing myself into a slide..

[Sundayjack]

John Grahame stinks.

It's not that he's a bad goalie, he just stinks.

[ScotsJet]

This is the last week before the playoffs I think.

[ScotsJet]

Hmm, lost 6-5 to Master Gracey last week, ending a long winning run. Look fairly secure for the playoffs though, need to pick up 5 points against the second-bottom side to get in.

[ScotsJet]

Oh, and just to triple-post, long-time early leader RI-CO was eliminated this week :)

[nyscene911]

Oh, and just to triple-post, long-time early leader RI-CO was eliminated this week :)
I'll be back next year!

It was quite frustrating actually. In the middle of the season, I couldn't get decent goaltending for anything. Now that my goalies have been hot, no one on my team can score points for the life of them. Oh well.

[ScotsJet]

10-1 up with 4 days to go. Fingers crossed, it looks like I'll sneak in.

[ButtleMan]

I went into this weeks matchup with Master Gracey believing that it was a fight for 3rd place. When I checked the scores and standings this morning I realized that Master Gracey had fallen to 5th place and that I am tied with Gretzky for 3rd. :smile:

[ScotsJet]

That's due to gretzky going 10-0-2 last week i think.

[nyscene911]

It figures. The week that I'm officially eliminate is the week that Yashin decides to wake up, and the Rick continues to play great :P

[MawaesDaMan]

Yeah, I have had two decent weeks since returning from the break. I was to used to fantasy football, and I wasnt adjusting my starterts often enough to completely capture guys play. Very competetive in the middle of the pack though. Good stuff.

[ScotsJet]

I'm now sitting comfortably up 12-0, with decent leads in most categories. Nervous few days though, a lot can change on the weekend of any week.

[ButtleMan]

It looks like you are going to lock up the last playoff spot.

[ScotsJet]

My boy Tomas Vokoun pitching back-to-back shutouts certainly doesn't hurt.

[ScotsJet]

OK, so my team held on to its 12-0 lead to leap from 6th to 3rd in the final regular season standings. Timbuktoo could have won 12-0 also and still not made the playoffs as all the teams above them that were catchable won sufficient points to secure their own slots.

The playoffs:

Pesky Predators v Master Gracey
The Mighty Ones v GretzkysDaMan

Then:

Pesky Predators/Master Gracey v Mister Moss
The Mighty Ones/GretzkysDaMan v It's Enrico Pallazzo

[FirstTimeCaller]

Word... I get the Presidents Trophy...

Looks like my matchup will be a battle of Goaltending vs offense. I had a great Monday on Offense and Gretzky's Goalies came up big yesterday plus his one shorthanded point.
What will win out O or D?

[MawaesDaMan]

We have a pretty good match up Buttleman. I guess that is how playoff hockey should be. I used to have an Offense too. The Devils recent drought hurts me a lot. Drafted with a little to much emotion. Good Luck.

[ButtleMan]

All tied up Mawae 6-6.
You own GAA, and Save %. You have the advantage of 1 SO and 1 SHP.

I own PM, Points & Assists with the advantage in PP and GWG.

It will interesting to see how this plays out this weekend.

[ScotsJet]

I'm up 8-1 on Master Gracey with just the weekend games to go, but it's a lot closer than it looks. There are a few tied categories and a number of others that could easily swing either way.

[FirstTimeCaller]

This is exciting... I can't wait to get back into the games next week.

[ScotsJet]

my lead has narrowed to 6-3, with only 3 players skating for me tonight as opposed to 9 for MG. Neither of us have any goalies going, so those points are finished - I get points for W, GAA and SV%, neither of us registered a shutout.

[ScotsJet]

As I suspected, I lost:

Pesky Predators 5
Master Gracey 6

The Mighty Ones 5
GretzkysDaMan 7

[ScotsJet]

The entire difference came down to one play - Mike York's shorthanded GWG for the Islanders in a 5-1 win over Atlanta. It swung SHP from a tie to a win for MG and ditto with GWG. If they stay as ties I win 5-4 :sad:

Well done guys, hope you go on to win it all.

[MisterMoss]

Back in for me. Had to make some adjustments to my roster after a dismal second half of the season.

[FirstTimeCaller]

you're lucky we don't have "no cut list" I got stuck with Demitra in another league.

[FirstTimeCaller]

How is it that BlairThomas#1 edited my post????

[ScotsJet]

He didn't. It appears to be a forum bug since the last update. Random posters are listed as having edited posts in the future or the distant past. Odd.

[Sundayjack]

Bah! We have a guy with 100 points, and two guys with 70+ points, ALL hanging donuts for the f**king week. All three have been in fairly healthy slumps. Plus, I won't mention how we had to dump John Grahame because it seems he likes the warmth of the red light on the back of his neck.

What once showed signed of promise is now getting bleak.

[FirstTimeCaller]

HOLY SHIT! I got my ass kicked tonight. I thought I was on to the finals for sure.... congrats to Mawae.

[MawaesDaMan]

Thank man. I caught a few highlights, and they all seemed to be my guys. I wasnt sure it would be enough.


The Quest for Lord Petro's cup continues. Me and you Mister Moss.

[MisterMoss]

Here we go. I fully expected to be matched up with FTC in the Finals. We've been going at it all season.

We'll see what happens here.

[ButtleMan]

Its coming down to the last weekend. MM is up 6-5 in a real close matchup.

Team G A P +/- PIM PPP SHP GWG W GAA SV% SHO Score
MisterMoss 23 33 56 7 63 25 1 3 8 1.84 .917 2 6

Standings through: Wed, Apr 12

[MisterMoss]

Goals are the first tiebreaker. This is going to be a barnburner of a finish.

[MawaesDaMan]

Very exciting stuff. I cant believe your PIM. I thought I had some bruisers. and the goalie from the Sharks is insane. Lehtonen hurt/bad game, hurts me a lot, although you not having Lundquist is no picnic for you either. Good stuff so far.

[MisterMoss]

The goalies are playing very well for both of us. You've moved ahead of me now after a bad performance by the goalie last night. I'll have no muster up something.

[FirstTimeCaller]

For the record I thinkit's corney to drop half your line up the last day.

[MisterMoss]

For the record I thinkit's corney to drop half your line up the last day.
Well, everyone in my lineup was active for tomorrow anyway. There were 3 players playing tomorrow which I had no use for. It's not like i was dropping players just to gain an active player. I had a full roster for tomorrow even before that.

But I'm skrewed regardless. Kiprusoff had an insane 2 weeks, kept up with my goalies. Imagine, we both posted sub-2.00 GAAs

[MawaesDaMan]

I was a little surprised add/drops could be done in the playoffs, but no big deal. My team is playing well, gotta love the scrappers, Crosby, Gionta, Rafalski, Blake, and good ole Chris Neil, my PIM specialist. One more night and what a biggie. Great night for hockey. Lets go Devils.

I atke it back... I didn't realize that. In one of my other leagues a guy dropped everybody that was inactive and probably won because he did it. I think it's unethical to do that.

Yeah, that would be unethical to a point. I think doing it here and there isn't an issue, as long as you don't go to an extreme.

Looks like I'm going to lose this one. I'll wait till the final score is posted :smile:

[ButtleMan]

Congratulations to Gretzky'sdaman for winning the first ever TGG Fantasy Hockey League! :beer:
2nd place goes to MisterMoss
3rd goes to the team that won the season title Its Enrico Pallazo.

To all those teams that did participate, great job.
For those of you who blew the league off, you will not be asked back.

[MisterMoss]

Great job Mawae. You deserved it. Great goaltending.

Thanks ButtleMan for running another great league. You do a great job :up:

Thanks to all those who participated as well :)

[MawaesDaMan]

Thank You all, I'd like to thank Buttleman for the invite, and MisterMoss for an exciting championship roundand everyone else who participated and made this a lot of fun. I think I am going to the graphics forum to see if someone can whip me up a sig or av. For the record, the TGG Fantasy Hockey League plays for what? the Lord Petro Cup? Any objections? Just a thought. The Fantasy league is over, but the best of the NHl is just getting started, Lets go Devils!

[FirstTimeCaller]

Thanks BMan... congrats all. I like the idea of letting Mawae name the Cup... and I think lord Petros Cup is a good idea.
