Minstrel Hockey League 2013

Come on guys! Score a goal or take a penalty! I would have had four more PIMs if I've had Hartnell in when he came back. And your miss with Orr was brutal too. I guess we can say that we lost this on our own?

[batdad]

LOL. THe top two games are right down to the wire. I CANNOT wait for Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay to be over. It could not end soon enough. Freaking sieve Fleury. (And one of em was my guy who scored). NO MORE GOALS today....at all. Thank you.

[batdad]

PLease no McGinn, S Koivu or Lombardi goals. Please.

[visualdarkness]

I need a goal or penalty from either Winnik, Stempniak or Wideman, niether sound very likely to happen. If they score a goal the Goons can win the PIMs with me still winning and the other way around. A goal it is...
If no goals are scored I need to get a penalty instead to win.

[visualdarkness]

Stempy missed a breakaway!

[batdad]

You both need a goal or penalty. A GWG for you would be good. Got to admit cheering for the Goons though. Tie if nothing happens as goals are tied as well. That will make things very interesting standings wise.

[batdad]

First time I ever wished I had Nick Johnson.

Ah, then I remembered the tie-breaker wrong. I thought it was goals and then assists.

[batdad]

Nope...just goals. Ah. Got thru Ana-COl and into shootout. Guaranteed that win since I have both Goalies. Phew. Better not change them for the shootout. With my luck the Avs will put in Varlamov and he will get the win.


I HATE IGINLA> HE STILL HAS A CHANCE> NOOOOOOOOOO. 1 second in OT and Lombardi will freaking score.

[visualdarkness]

Iggy probably sent it into overtime, thank you! Come on Dennis and Stempy, crosscheck or score!

Darn, grenncross scored and Stempy with the assist. Wrong order!

[batdad]

OMG ANOTHER FLEMME GOAL...empty netter for Stempniak?

[visualdarkness]

I'm crying over here now...
I lost due to me missing to put in harnell...

[batdad]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


I am not. Wow....what a win. That Mr Visualdarkness and all others is a classic batdad win.

Categories I lost: Goals, assists, PIMs, Shots, PPG.
Categories I tied: GWG
Categories I won: Plus minus, Wins, Minutes, Saves, blocks and Shorty points.

Wow. Sorry Manimal. Well not really but what a game.

And sorry Vis...not crying for you. Atta Boy Goons.


That may be the best win I have ever had. Genius move for this week dropping Emery at last second and grabbing the other goalie in Col-Ana to guarantee I got the win in that game.


And Vis you did not lose, you tied. 1st place all by yourself right now. Manimal and I at 4-1 and you at 4-0-1

[visualdarkness]

I won all goalie categories and other than that I'm only happy with shots and +/-. My guys have forgotten how to do the other things, especially block shots and take penalties.
Man, my team is in a cold phase now.

[batdad]

Make me an offer. LOL

[visualdarkness]

Make me an offer. LOL

You would like that, eh? You killed this week for me already.

[batdad]

. I have COrinthians this week Yuck. Boars have Nino (West Can), Surahammer has Black Bears.


Weeks 8 and 9 will be fun too.

Week 8 Sancouver-Surahammer and Boars-Titans

Week 9 Boars -Surahammer, Sancouver-Vasteras


Also how come Manimal is the only one of the top guns that got to play Concussion. serves him right losing to me this week for that.

And finally....you see what happened to my roster since that horrible trade offer day?

1. Clowe suspended maybe for 1/4 of the season or more.
2. Bieksa
3. Staal
4 Girardi.
5.Green was already down and was scheduled to play yesterday, but did not.

[tinyheed]

Tie turns into a defeat!!! What the France!!!

[visualdarkness]

GWG or something like that? They sometimes only count it the day after the game.

Edit. No, it wasn't. How weird but good for me!

[getzlaf15]

Tie turns into a defeat!!! What the France!!!

Strange as you were both tied for goals... Wonder what the next tie-breaker is? On the settings it only has Goals as a tie-breaker... Coin flip?

[tinyheed]

Just can't buy a win!!! In the top 5 in a lot of categories , except goalies, and can't translate into wins

[visualdarkness]

I contacted ESPN about our weird game tinyheed so lets see if they respond. It should be a tie!

[visualdarkness]

Mystery solved!

Why do they have the "draw" category then?

[batdad]

Wow. Brutal. That is new for this season as we have had ties in every other year.

At least the win was by the rules then but if I could I would make it a draw instead, GG got screwed by ESPN.
