  1. For the first time since entering fantasy, I'm missing the playoffs.....arg
  2. Everything looks great to me. The goal is tanking for picks lol
  3. Dubois floating that shift in Columbus to get benched and chuckle at Torts told me a lot about him
  4. My wife is 34 and can't smush a spider LOL
  5. I let someone lie about me having a web camera in my apartment once and it saved me a headache. Circa 2010, I took a girl from work home from a work party. We ended up dating for like a few months and hooking up regularly, but it was hush hush because work, even though we were different departments Shortly thereafter. folks from work saw us out together and the rumor mill started so we stopped(wasn't going anywhere anyways). I'm not sure why, maybe she didn't like the rumor mill tarnishing her reputation as a sweet young innocent girl, but she lied to a bunch of people and told them it only happened once and that she was blackout drunk and that I had taken advantage of her. I started getting the cold shoulder at work and not being invited out to the work drinking nights and I had no idea why. Eventually one of the girls at work, whom my roommate Cam asked why she was acting like such an asshole to me, blew up and me and told him the ******** story. My roommate, God bless his soul, knew she was over regularly and that it was ********, but he went the extra mile. First he told that girl "lol, ask Koji to read his Blackberry messenger history and you will see that girl was regularly coming over for friends with benefits **** stone sober in the middle of the day. And i should know, I had to listen to them after backshifts.... ". He approached the girl in question and warned her that big gaming computer setup in my room also recorded everything we did and that i had videos of her jumping all over me stone sober. It was ********. I'd never record anyone. But my gaming setup being right by my bed made it believable enough that she frantically started Messaging me later that day LOL. My roommate filled me in that he had let that ******** that i recorded her slip just so she would believe i would have evidence against lies. I was kinda fuming and stressed by this point, but I had to play along. I just told her I refuse to answer by text and if she wanted to talk she could meet me for coffee to "clear up" some things. That conversation was.....I'll say funny. The other girl from work approached me and asked to read my BBM history Long story short, my name was cleared in the court of public opinion and i was invited back out to work drinking nights lol. But my God that was a stressful stretch.
  6. He got paid and now he's mediocre. Lol
  7. His record in the AHL thus far is pretty meh too. 5-6-0 in 11 games and a sub 90%sv Maybe he gets traded for Merzlikins and that identically bad contract lol
  8. Messier as a player would not have given an F and would have creamed the player lol Of Course if Messier played today, like Scott Stevens, he would not be able to do what he did back in the 80's and 90's and get away with it Messier was eating suspensions in an era when Dirty plays were largely forgiven LOL
  9. The Answer is yes Kochetkov can.....I BELIEVE! And how dare you misspell the name of the next Lord Hasek?!!!!!!
  10. Strange rumblings indicate Merzlikins isn't happy being #3 goalie. How about Merzlikins for Jack Campbell? Almost the exact same contract, same length and both need a change of scenery lol Might be like moving the beat up old deck chairs around, but why not?
  11. Actually he has been way better two way this year and clearly trying to work on that part of his game. Initially we thought Zegras drop in production was because he was too focused on two way play. We know now he had a lingering injury, but before he went off he was playing solid two way hockey. Last night was a bit of a fluke injury. His skate got in parssinen's stick and swept and his ankle smashed into the boards awkwardly
  12. Drysdale is actually a really good player in the making so its not a total loss. Mintyukov emerging made him a bit expendable. Anaheim also has Luneau and Zellwegger as prospects so they are deep on D and need a goalscorer. Zegras, McTavish and Carlsson are all playmakers.
  13. Merry Christmas and vodka turkey holidays everyone!
  14. Binnington has done plenty since......usually in the form of a childish blowup
  15. Ive had a drink or three after work so I am going to blab a bit. Strike averted. My teams union just got them a $4 an hour increase and busy season is almost over and I finally get a vacation. im happy as a clam and so relieved. I was actually thinking of quitting for the last 2 months. I don't get anything because i am not in the union, but I don't care, I just wanted something for my team to show how valued they are and to combat the toxic attitude and lack of care that was sweeping through my department and stress I was feeling every second of the day at work and home where I constantly get called for help. On that note, here comes me blabbing like a pseudo intellectual dork lol. I like to look at categories in terms of sections. I consider offense section: G, A, PPG, PPA Peripheral section : SOG, FW, HIT, BK Lottery section: PIM, +/-, GWG, SHP Now you can control how many tickets you buy for the lottery Section, but its still a lot of variance. by buying tickets, I mean, you get more chances at a GWG if you have goalscorers. You have more shots at SHP if you have Pkers. You get more chances at PIM's if you have temperamental goons, but even a lady bing forward can get 5/10 and a game and snag that category circumstantially, and you can restrict your drafting to good teams to have a better chance at solid +/- but that restricts your scoring pool. But its still a lot less control than say, hits or blocks or faceoff wins where you can load up on guys who take faceoffs from the wing or shot blocking Dmen. Goalies are the same, but different. Their sections are reliant on the teams in front of them. Wins and Saves are volume Categories. So unfortunately are losses, so having a good workhorse can be a boon. Sv% and GAA are more variable in that you can get 3 good games in a week and bench goalies to retain the good GAA and sv%, so volume matters less. the real lottery category for goalies is SO. So the way I see it, goalies have 5 controllable categories, 1 Lottery, Forwards have 8 controllable categories, 4 Lottery, so despite goalies having 6 categories to 12 skater categories, I feel they are more valuable. Significantly so due to this league having 16 teams because the pool is so shallow to find a goalie. 2 or 3 goalies are going to decide 45% of the controllable categories. Currently, I have 2 workhorses and I hope its enough to keep going safely because in offensive categories i was getting beaten bad. in fact im one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. im also only middle of the pack for Peripherals. I had good FOW and SOG for awhile, but too many guys went down with injuries. Now I am combing waivers trying to improve some more. Come on down Kerfoot. Win some faceoffs from wing will ya? For Brewin, I think this will help quite a bit for goalie cats. He was relying on the Calgary duo and Jake Allen for starts and Kochetkov is a shot of adrenaline from a 3rd team. Where i would be looking to improve next is Peripherals, but it may be too late for that as the team is very scoring oriented from top to bottom. Hopefully scoring plus improved goaltending = wins
  16. I honestly think getting Wheeler out of that locker room was probably a big plus too.
  17. id call these contracts team friendly compared to what they could have asked for. Especially Hellboy. He's placed top 4 for the Vezina in 4 of the last 6 years and accrued votes for the hart trophy in all 4 years. Even when Winnipeg's defense is putrid, he's solid. A bad year for him was 29 wins and a 91%sv
  18. Trade announcement. Halifax trades Pyotr Kochetkov to brewin flames for Jason Robertson. With Andersen out with blood clots, Kochetkov the goalie of the future is being given opportunity now. Brewin needs a goalie with markstrom out week to week and I need firepower as my team has been sinking lately despite great goaltending. Kochetkov has played 7 of the last 10 games, once in relief of Raanta and won 4, lost 1 and had 2 where he did not get a loss credit. He's given up 2 or less goals in 5 of 7 appearances. Robertson doesn't look like the 47 goal 109 point +37 guy from last year as he is currently under a ppg with 22 points in 23 games and a -4, but I'm confident he will heat up. I still have 2 workhorse goalies to fall back on and Thompson finally just came off IR so I'm hoping to change my fortunes with a boost up front. Might shock those who know how much I love Koochie since ive hounded folks to get him in the keeper leagues. But this isn't a keeper and maybe I can draft him again next year lol.
  19. its Koochie time!' https://packaged-media.redd.it/mnxfkppou8z91/pb/m2-res_1080p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1700956800&s=bcf7477ca79f67d11ad0c3e4b12306a9254289ac#t=0
