Argh. My streak of playoff futility continues. I briefly checked and think I beat or tied every single other team in the pool. But Getz and his bears got me. Congrats boys and best of luck in the final. I have to say I am impressed with how most of my team has performed and other than the easy pick in net my keeper decisions will be very difficult.

Another extremely close week batdad, I was unsure about who my Goalie keeper was going to be next year but I've put my faith in Holtby, meaning I had to drop Price to pick up Lindback on that final day. My team has really come together since the trades I made when my team was 1-2.

You would not have gotten him anyway as you are 11th in waiver order.

LOL.. I knew Getz dropped a goalie, but with my goalie situation did not care who he dropped. Sacrificed the future for the present for the win. ATTA BOY. If you had not made that move you would have lost. Well done.

I really could not do much with my last move..I just had to hope and pray both NIemi and Hiller played that day, and you did not pick up a goalie Getz. When I saw you did....it was pray for a short handed point time.

Great job done by all 4 of the semi finalists.

Like me, this week seems so pointless. I'm just trying to bring some bad blood to get some entertainment, but it's like provoking in a room full of Valium. :rant:

Strange to have a finalist that hasn't visited the forums since October
I've had some e-mail contact with him, though

True...But Lidas has always been very involved in the league. He got lucky anyway. :-D

He got his hot-streak when it mattered the most, we (batdad) did the opposite.

Speak for yourself. I had a very good week last week. I just happened to have the 2nd best week of teams in the pool, and was playing against the guy with the best week. :-D

And so it comes down to one day... All I need to do is match what Lidas. I almost lost it last night when Slava Voynov was on for a GWG until 5 minutes left... All I have to do is keep assists, PPP and GWG the same score... I have Seguin, Chara, michalek and Neil playing, Lidas has Greening and Campbell... I have a bad feeling though...

Actually, in theory batdad could beat me due to playing his players tonight if he went minus, had zero blocksn no PIMs. Very unlikely though. :-p

After my 5 and 7 regular season, and my opening round (consolation) playoff win, I end my season getting thumped as I lose 2-9-1 to Corinthians!

Congrats to Black Bears FHC =D>

Looking forward to next year! 8-)

I will trade Zotto, Wideman, Hamhuis and/or Enstrom together with one of my tradeable forwards for a forward upgrade. Perfect for somebody who needs to fill out keepers! I can also add Bryz to a deal.
