Like fuck I did

The way you live your life, you deserve a 12.50 GAA and a .100 SV%

i benched holtby tonight, seeing how bad the caps have been. still got the win from bryz (and win and SO from reimer), but wish i'd gotten the double SO and lower GAA.

At least your goalies PLAYED. I started the incorrect Minni goalie and missed out on a W.

yeah i noticed that, backstrom's had the player note that he was starting last night since at least friday. figured maybe you were trying to preserve your GAA/ s % or something.

Hmmm.... On the one hand, it's great that Patric Hornqvist is back. On the other hand, Matt Frattin is out awhile longer than expected. Hopefully Hornqvist helps lessen the blow of one of my best goal scorers being out of the lineup.

Of course, I managed to deal Niemi away for Mike Ribeiro in a different league. Overall it seems like a promising start to the week

Two weeks ago that'd seem crazy right now, you appear to be smart.

You really want Heatley, eh Rook? that's like the third offer you sent me. Not even sure who Zack Kassian, o-rank 400+? I dunno if your trying to fuck me but I won't be having any of that. lol I'm not dead last this year so I've wised up.. not doing any trades I'll regret..

Heatley finally scored again the other day, and he's back playing top line minutes.

Kassian is dropped to the second line, and he likely will only be that high in the lineup until David Booth returns. At that point, Kassian will go back to the third line and his PP time will likely disappear. Factor in that he's already cooled off substantially as of late...

I don't know that I'd make that deal, either.

cooled off perhaps, but heatley's hardly lighting the league on fire with 8 points to kassian's 7. last i'd read, kassian was still skating with the sedins at even strength, though kesler coming back has taken his PP time, he's still skating top line and has value for PIMs.

definitely trying to buy low but besides, i never lead off with my best offer anyways, that's what negotiating's for.

if o-rank is so important, dmitry kulikov is sitting on waivers for you to pick up (o-rank 169), though you might want to take a look at his current rank (372, to heatley's 188 and kassian's 192).

Yeah, the O-Rank is fucking useless, no doubt

I do believe Burrows is back on the top line, and that Kassian is bumped down to the second line for the time being.

I just don't see Heatley staying this bad for much longer.

But I'd be happy to take Kassian off your hands

somebody should pick up Kulikov, seems like every time I dump somebody they go on a scoring tear. FUCK YOU Colin Wilson!

who you looking to get rid of derek?


and woah, wing-o man! didn't even realize there were early games tonight but looks like the flyers have gotten me off to a pretty good start to the week

voracek 0g 4a
schenn 1g 1a
bryz with the shutout
and giroux with 2g 1a for my other league

Ultimately, I'm not really looking for a forward. I'm just curious about Kassian.

My D, however, needs some serious work. Who'd have thought that Jason Garrison would completely shit the bed?

everyone but the Canucks?

He was pretty solid in Florida last year. FLORIDA!
I thought for sure he'd be better on a team with some serious scoring skill - especially playing on the first PP unit

he had one good year, just because there was no one else for them to play in his spot. besides, vancouver already have a bunch of average defencemen. people thought keith ballard had value before he came to the canucks too.

Please do not bring up Keith Ballard. It makes my soul hurt.

the guy has just never been the same since he tried to decapitate his own goalie.

This is maddening. Two weeks ago, Tye McGinn was playing on the top line. Today he's a healthy scratch.

because who the fuck is tye mcginn and why is he skating for an nhl club to begin with?

if the flyers didn't have a farm team that made most ECHL teams look good, he'd never have been there in the 1st place.

He's actually looked good playing with the Flyers though. He plays hard-nosed hockey with sparks of skill.

So... prototypical Flyers player?

he has, but a month ago, no one knew who the fuck he was.

and if you're just speaking generally, you could say the same about sestito or zolciernykskyk or whatever.

mcginn might have a future with the club, but he's only there right now because there's no one else (other than wellwood, who's been in both lavy and murray's dog house all year, and even he's more of a 4th liner than anything else).

cap constraints and injuries this year really make it painful how miserable the flyers prospect situation is right now. anybody worth shit is already on the big club.

Pretty much. He definitely fits in the team dynamic.

He doesn't have first line skill, but he's got more than Jody Shelly, Zac Rinaldo, and Tom Sesisto combined. Some nights he's better than others, but typically he looks like a young and developing Talbot.
