[originalhypa]

It's a tough one to commit to a trade, because our rosters are relatively small and there are so many factors to take into account.

We should be throwing more trade offers out there. The worst that can happen is someone says no.

Or you could end up with another starting goalie.

[cdizzle_996]

Silly Cammer for lowballing with the defending Stanley Cup champ goalie...

[originalhypa]

Cammer is one of the more fun guys to wheel and deal with.
If I hadn't built such a kickass roster, I would make more trades.

On that note, who wants a defenseman?
I have one too many. Looking for a left winger specifically. Let me know what you're looking for.

#1 is so close, I can feel it.

[cdizzle_996]

Jq blowin it up!!!

[originalhypa]

I cannot fu king believe that Markstrom got the shuttie, while vezina winning Holtby gave up 5 to the terrible fu king Red Wings. I'm just in awe of my incompetence when it comes to making those final detail changes.

Instead of being up 7-4, which is what I would have had if I started Markstrom, I'm at 6-5 after an amazing jqc comeback. It's almost like his roster is actually playing for him. Like he has some sort of hotline to the players union or something.

Inspired by the Cavs at the trade deadline lol. Hypa was kicking my ass midweek so I was on full tilt.

Seeing Markstrom with the shutout yesterday brought tears to my eyes lol. There's no way you ever start Markstrom over Holtby or Murray though.
I'm definitely lucky it ended at 6-5.
McDavid had me off to a great start with 4G 1A on Monday, but Vasilevskiy and Bobrovsky also both shit the bed that day too. Those two Russians are my twin aces, but it looks like I might not be able to rely on them going into the playoffs.
Well deserved win Hypa - as much as it pains me to say that.

[originalhypa]

Thanks jqc. I don't let myself get too excited about being ahead early in the week. The real hockey happens on the weekend which is exactly what you and I saw last week. Good battle, for sure. I'm happy to see that man for man, I can beat you. But your roster is strong. Especially on the goaltending side.


This week is going to be a good one.
Poor ghost is rife with injury and will have a hard time with jqc's roster. While I'm against aznviper. His tending is strong, although he's a little Blackhawk heavy on the roster. Gifs and espresso will be good, while on the bottom we have Tim Budong going up against our favorite mover and shaker, cammertime.

So, who wants to help ghost out with a rental player or two this week?

[cdizzle_996]

I’d help Ghost out but he’ll want Tarasenko for Hagg, not sure I can make that work this week.

[originalhypa]

Tarasenko for Nick Ritchie. Now that's a cammertime deal of the day.


I'm still sitting on a few nice dmen.
Looking for a left winger who hits and blocks. Pims help too.

Seriously Markstrom?!

He shits the bed against a terrible team, then goes beast mode for a shutout against a contender. Then last night he shits the bed again, against a nobody team.

My mind, is full of fuck.

[Expresso]

Dude it's Markstrom, he's not Luongo in his prime or something.

[originalhypa]

Since Jan 9th, and prior to the Valentine's day massacre he saw, Markstrom has started in 12 games and gone 6 and 6 with a reasonable GAA and SV%.

.917 L @ WSH 3GAA
.931 W @ CBJ 2GAA
.913 W @ MIN 3GAA
.882 L @ EDM 4GAA
.938 W vs LAK 2GAA
.880 L vs BUF 3GAA
.900 W vs COL 3GAA
.929 W vs CHI 2GAA
.857 L vs TBL 4GAA
.949 L @ FLA 2GAA
.879 L @ CAR 4GAA
1.00 W @ DLS 0GAA

Some losses against weak teams, wins against strong teams. An asswhooping or two..... He sure isn't the second coming of Lu. But he is another starter on the roster, and has shown he can pull a shutout or two, and wins 50% of the time.

[cdizzle_996]

Hypa... how about Dougie

[originalhypa]

Problem is that Dougie is on a team that's going nowhere. Come March the dog teams are going to fizzle out while the contenders are going to flourish. I found that out last season when I dropped out of the playoff running in the last two weeks.

[Ch28]

This cammertime guy needs to go

Kucherov + Matt Martin + 5th rounder for Getzlaf + Toffoli + 1st rounder

Kucherov has more points combined as a single player than the garbage he wants to trade off

Kucherov has 31g 46a= 77 points
Getzlaf has 35 pts (7+28) and Toffoli has 33 pts (19+14) = 68 points

I'm so offended that he would even float this idea

[originalhypa]

Cammertime kicks ass.
I floated him a sweet ass trade option and he declined. He did the same for me, and i declined. I'm not offended, business is business.

Really, if we wanted to get mad at someone, get mad at that jqc guy. He pisses me off so much!!!! With his strong roster, and great goaltending

Awwww shucks. Thanks Hypa. These words are even sweeter than the chocolates I received on Valentine's Day.

[originalhypa]

I see you jqc. 3 points buddy, that's all that separates us right now.


You're just lucky that Holtby is trash this year. Absolute trash!

[cdizzle_996]

Our trade is looking pretty good for you right now Hypa

[originalhypa]

It's one hell of a trade dizzle, thanks again.
Unfortunately I had to pick up Raanta this morning to cover for Murray. He took a puck to the head in practice the other day and has a concussion. Could be a week, could be a month, you never know with head injuries.

But this........ this is sad.

G Braden Holtby Was@Cls, L, 5-1, 15 shots, 4 goals, 12.33gaa, .750 sv%

It would be funny if it happened to anyone else.

Yeah this is getting closer than I'd like it to be. I need my team to do okay this week.
Next week I'm up against the 12th place Tim Budong, while you're up against Ghost. I'm feeling good about my chances of entering the playoffs in 1st.

[originalhypa]

Playing that budong guy is like getting 10 free points.
Now time for a new tactic.



Dear ghost,
Please forget to activate your rosters next week. I would totes appreesh if you could, kthxbye.

Love, hypa
