Looks like I might pick up my first loss this week. I'm in the lead by a slim margin right now but with Crosby out and most if not all of my hot starters slowing down recently it's just a matter of time. Last week was really close as well but my goalies saved me in that one.

Ah...he wins. This is the big week Marsac. All the marbles. You tie me for the longest win streak record. I went 13-0 to start last season. Then I lost (I think to you)....So it gets interesting as you have to beat me to beat the record. I think you will, but who knows...2 weeks ago my team was destructive. This last week they were terrbile (I also missed dressing for monday...but I did not this week.)

Best of luck, you are likely going to be the king 1 week from today.

And there you have it...Marsac does not break my record...thanks to my guys! Phew. Maybe a reverse of last season oh Newbie leader?

I know SId was out, but the way I beat you really had nothing to do with Sid. He would not have made up anything except the goals and assists....maybe shots. But to say he would have had 18 more shots than his replacements this past week..I dunno. Yeah 3 more goals maybe and 1 more assist. But no way he goes +18 more than what you had in your lineup. And he can't get wins or saves. I think I would have won with or without Sid in your lineup.

So...the record is tied but not broken. IT was a nailbiter, but my guys pulled through today. HOpefully I will see you in the final Mr. Newbie.

So its official. Whitney is out for the year. Im now shopping for a defense. hoping for keeper quality. Also Shopping for a goalie. Only Sedin and zetterberg are untouchable at this point.

Congrats batdad, I hope it's not a sign of things to come if we do meet in the finals. Half my team is out with injuries now so I'll probably go on a bit of a losing streak but as long as I make the playoffs that's good enough for me.

Just a little reminder in case anyone has missed it. This week is actually two weeks. All due to the All-star activities

Thanks, Manimal, I missed it. And I already gave it up

But now I'm going to battle. Watch out Saruman's Sloppy Slips

Surahammar Sloppy Slippers if I may correct you.

My team is hotter than ever since I defeated my local rivals from Västerås, so challenge accepted!

Thanks!, but I've already solved. It appears that my chrome browser used to have some issue with certificates (SSL) so I install Firefox and everything is Okay now!

My eight-game winning streak is coming to an end as I am getting spanked by the Black Ice. My stars has not scored much this week. Still, it doesn't really matter as we are both making the play-offs. Now I fully expect batdad to come in here and brag. He hasn't been around here much lately.

Post by **batdad** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:39 pm

No bragging here. This is just a game. Another regular season game at the end of the dog days of the league. I only get happy when I beat Marsac. Not to say your team is not good, it is...but I need revenge on Marsac.

When is our trade deadline? Should be soon...so I think everyone should be updating their trade blocks. And lets get dealing and wheeling.

eric1985 · Post by **eric1985** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:41 pm

Id loved to make a trade. The only ppl you want i would trade are injured...

We don't have one

Post by **B. Stinson** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 1:47 pm

It should be shortly after the real trade deadline, but it looks like it got wiped out somehow.

I've updated our settings, though, and our deadline will be next week, Wednesday March 9th, at 3:00PM EST.

I would love to trade some pieces but...

kuulapaa · Post by **kuulapaa** » Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:27 pm

After getting some trade offers and also after batdad's post of 'dealing and wheeling' I started thinking about why we have so few trades in this league. I think one way to add the dealing would be to raise the amount of keepers with some 2-3 players per team. Why? Let's say someone want's to trade Toews from me. When I'm pretty happy with most of my keepers, there is not much he can offer to me, 'cause there is no way I would for instance bring in another strong LW only for the cup run and then loose him by keeping Ovechkin. But if the keepers would be e.g. 1 C, 1 LW, 1 RW, 2 D, 1 G, 2 F and 1 free choice (not G), it would not only make the deals more possible but it'd also make the building of one's team more interesting.

This is just a thought or a start for a discussion. How do you see it?

Post by **B. Stinson** » Wed Mar 09, 2011 4:00 pm

I think CatchUp had brought that up at some point, too, about increasing keepers now that we have full-size rosters.

Personally, I'd love to increase keepers, and deal with a more "regular" team.

By the way, how do you guys still feel about the idea of promotion/relegation? Should we keep it in place, or should we keep our leagues static, and let attrition take care of things?

I like the relegation/promotion even if it was a bit hard to leave my Octavian-team. It gives especially Minstrel teams something to play for till the end, even when PO's are out of reach.

I would love to increase the number of keepers!
