55: yeah, that sucked! When is Iginla going to catch on fire? Kipper and Phaneuf can't win games by themselves!

Went Hasek > Kiprusoff last night

Will probably go Gaborik > Alfie today as planned. Gotta have the OTT guys for the next 3 games.

Or, with Jagr's injury, maybe I should keep Gaborik and trade Zetterberg for Alfie instead. Hm.

I hope im not getting too cute with this series of moves, but after evaluating my trade situation and examining my teams trade outlook over the next couple of weeks, i think that i can afford to do it.

Thornton -> Spezza (right now Savard appears to have been the better choice)
Rolston -> Thornton

I've been looking for an out from Rolston anyways. Other trades im planning are Zetts -> Jagr and Gabby -> Cheech

arg, screwed up yesterday and didn't get my Gaborik for Alfie trade done. :(

Guess I'll keep Gaborik for a couple more days and pick up Alfie on Saturday instead, although I hate jumping on a player after missing out on the big RV gains.

Went Zetterberg > Jagr today. Hope Jags does better than he did in the Olympics.

Jagr = god. I love this guy. Already 2 ppg and 1 assist. NYR score three goals in 70 seconds and lead 4-0 after being thoroughly outplayed for the first 15 minutes of the game. Esche pulled after it as 3-0, and they score off of Niittymaki within 15 seconds of him coming into the game.

Haha, thanks. I'm usually pretty good at going against the grain and making ballsy picks, I think that's why I always do so well. You can't overdo it and make all differential picks, but here and there it's okay.

Congrats to number Cobwebs who has grabbed the number 1 slot today.

For some unknown reason I actually questioned SW's move to Huet last night. Someday I just won't ask anymore, and just believe. He really does ALWAYS do this!!!

I pimped Huet to him, and Huet's position as 1st in TSNP over the last 30 days didn't hurt either. I really wanted to move to him too, but had both goalie spots going last night. :( That always seems to happen to me, I see a great move to make but it doesn't fit at all.

Anyone thinking of dropping Brodeur with his week sched comming up, 1 in 5 and 3 in 9... I was looking at Abeisher, Budaj start last game and the lost to Dallas, so David should get the next couples of start....

Or should I use this trade some where else used more wisely...

My best night of the year last night so I'd like to keep it up..

I'm keeping Brodeur. The best you can get is a 3 in 5 or a 5 in 9. And no one's schedule is good enough to warrant 2 trades for 2 games. Of the teams that do have a 3 in 5 or 5 in 9, its amazing how many of those games are road games!

Brody stays for me.

I will be keeping Brodeur on the one team that holds him. While he doesn't have a lot of games over the next couple of weeks, they are against NYI, WASH, PIT, NYI and PIT.

Gagne with 2a tonight. Forsberg 1g2a.

Will Staals production suffer with the loss of Cole to the team? Probably not but with Forsberg looking good, Spezza shining and Thornton being Thornton there's no room on my team for him anymore.
Staal goes after the Philly game for Spezza.
It'll give me:
Spezza, Forsberg, Thornton

With Toronto's slump I'm moving McCabe.

I think Redden's got to go. Great sched or not he's just not putting up numbers atm. 2pts in his last 9 games, and they both came in the same game.

Lidstrom on the other hand has 11pts over the same stretch. A move to Nik might be worth it, despite giving up a game or two over the long haul...

I have Lidstrom, McCabe and Redden. What other defensemen are preferable here? Zubov? Chara? It seems like these three are the elite, but Redden and McCabe have slowed. Still, I am quite reluctant to sell any of them.

I have Redden, McCabe, and Zubov on 2 teams, and Meszaros instead of McCabe on my budget team.

I'd like to get Lidstrom but the timing doesn't seem right with any of those guys. I'll sleep on it I guess. (Meanwhile, McCabe and Redden will go -3 and Lidstrom will get a hattie)

So far i have missed the last two shutouts for Huet after moving him on thursday because of the abeischer trade. Emery rewarded me the first night with his bombing.

I am now in the position with 13+ trades on my teams and don't know what to do. Been a hard year for me for some reason, I was hoping to crack the top 20 after being in the top 100 two years in a row. Dissappointing!

I moved Staal to Jokinnen & Gerber to Luongo. Car has 4 games compared to Fla's 6 games. So it's a no-brainer. +4 in games.

A little differentation.

You know I wouldn't mind if I dropped or gained positions but I'm freakin' stuck in the same +30 -30 ranking area every damn day.

If I gained 100 positions or drop 100 positions then I could at least get some feedback on what's going right or wrong, but just staying in the same position just sucks. SUCKS to a point that the interest in the game is quickly waning.

and judging by the drop off in posts here it appears that others might be losing interest as well.

Well, at least Legace will have a quiet night. Osgood is in goal. Of course Lidstrom has just made my Lid-Visnovsky move from a couple days back look bad. Them's the breaks I guess.

Interest has definitely wained from my perspective....it's all a factor of RV being no factor. If it was a struggle to get 3 stud Dmen, or if it was a struggle to get that one last W upgrade then the game would be much more exciting in terms of differentiation.

Player prices need to be raised, price movers need to be dampened. The same thing happened in baseball last year, and my interest wained there as well. A couple of years ago, I remember how hard it was to get a full team of studs in March....

For my team, I had planned on holding Broduer until now all along. But, I didn't expect him to SUCK this bad. Kind of a shame just how horrible he has been the past week or so. From there I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that goalie slot.

Spezza > Forsberg last week worked real well. :(

Player prices do need to be raised next season. I can't recall a time in any SW/TSN based game where ive achieved my RV goal so early, that being to put myself in a position to no longer have to worry if i can afford to buy any player, at any time.


Higher IPO's would solve a lot of it. Players like Demitra, Jagr, Palffy, Heatley, Datsyuk and Zetterberg (among others) came in just way too low.

It also hasn't helped that due to injuries you can have cheap starting goalies like Emery, Huet and Auld.

Went Staal > Jokinen yesterday.

I swear, every time I pick up Jokinen, no matter how hot he his or who his opponents, he goes cold.

That happens to me all the time with Nagy too. I know they're good players.

I just jinx them or something.

But yeah, I'm with those who have really lost a lot of interest the last few weeks, and the lack of RV as a factor is definitely a huge part of it.

I think the underpriced goalies were the biggest killers of the game this year.

You gotta be kidding me. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE Luongo gets the night off!!!! which should indicate that he's gonna play against Washington.

On another note with Calgary's offense it's possible that Vokoun could make it 3 straight.

I have 3 teams and i'm going to make some moves and get away from them all having alfie, heatley, ovechkin, jagr.
1 team stays the same
2nd team
Ovechkin > Cheechoo
3rd team
Alfie > Kovalchuk
