Wow - my Colorado guys, Tampa Bay guys and New Jersey guys gave me a great night. 833 points. I hope I didn't lose ground.

That's an amazing night Richard. Unfortunately, the guy on top of me got about a 770.

833 will be on yesterday's best, that is just flat huge.

The game was just awesome, it had everything, anyone who missed it, missed a real treat of a game.

What it could've been had I picked up Guerin this morning....

891 here

Massive nights from Tanguay, Sakic, Elias, Naslund, and my TB boys really jacked my total.

Hopefully can get to the top 100 soon. 282nd right now...

Awesome game.

Great back and forth action, and thanks to 2 of the league sharpest sharpshooters (Naslund & Sakic) both teams tied, setting up a monster showdown on March 8th in Vancouver... I can't friggin' wait. :D

Wow, my team really stinks.. All these big numbers and me with a measly 436.. Needless to say, I lost a lot of ground... 11 places to 61... Should have picked up Sakic last week, instead of taking a chance on Demitra... Oh well... Time to get my team on a roll again..

Same here, only 500-something. No Tanguay, Sakic or Johnsson. Thank god I had Gomez, or J could've gained about 400 pts on me in one day...

Well, I wish I could watch the rematch on TV. It's 5-0 Colorado already, so that's a bummer I guess. Lots of fights towards the end of the 1st period.

This is my GO NASLUND plug for the night....

The Van bandwagon is carrying a light load right now I think. At least Trevor Linden finally got his franchise point after all this time.

Wasn't paying attention today and forgot to trade Jagr -> Havlat before the Ottawa game started on my Basic teams. (Doh!) The TB game had also already started, so I was forced to get creative. Picked up Guerin on one team and Sakic on another. Sakic trade is lookin pretty good right now! :-)

Best game last week....followed up by tonight being probably the worst game I have seen ever. Worrell is afraid to fight someone his own size, Bertuzzi is just an idiot, and the refs arent doing much to help.

Worst game?
That was the best game I've ever seen! Way better than the 5-5 tie last week!

Man, the pschology that evolved after the Canucks trailed 5-0 was worth a whole pschology term paper! How the Canucks reacted to all the penalties that kept piling up, how they attempted a comeback, how Brad May taunted Aebischer when the game was still out of reach, how the fans salvaged some joy when Linden got his record, how the Canucks continually challenged the Avs physically, how the game suddenly heated up again with group fighting with 10 minutes remaining, how the Canucks had 4 straight minutes of 2-man disadvantage, and of course, the sucker-punch of the year by a tough guy who chickens away from Big Burt, and to my dismay, how the game died down after that. How often do you get to see a game that pits two teams who fight hard for the division championship that turns into a rout so early? It's like a once-in-20-year event and it was actually worth staying if I were in GM Place. 3-goal comebacks are relatively frequent, but what happened last night was golden!

I was expecting fights that would shatter the PIM record set last week. Both teams had tons of reasons to have all 18 players tossed from the game, but yet that didn't happen. I mean, the Avs had added like 4 or 5 tough guys the past couple of weeks but they didn't do what they're supposed to do. That sucked.

Such a bad game.

After 5 quick goals, the game wasnt worth watching except for one or two fights, then after peabrain KO'd Moore the game wasnt even worth watching period. The only thing that couldve redeemed the game after the first period was either a comeback or a line brawl, but the Canucks were playing too dirty for a comeback and the Avs were more concerned with running up the score than fighting in the third.
