And then there was Ten.

Week Ten. What can I say about week 10 that can't already be said by simply looking at the Pittsburgh game on Thursday? Not much. But anyhoo...

Here's week 10 in a fancy 3-colored list for your viewing pleasure:
Dave: 36
Thomas: 26
Les: 23
Mike: 21
Louis: 21
Khalid: 19
Francis: 15

Yep. It's nice to be back on top. What a great week. Not only did I finish finals today, I also whupped all your arses. Yep. Thank the 11 point performance from Crosby and Gonchar. Or maybe the brilliant move in sticking Patrick Elias in. Or maybe my faith in Dwayne Roloson. I dunno, there's so many ways that I'm just unbelievably brilliant this week, why don't we just say that if God does indeed exist, he's very impressed by my Fantasy Hockey acumen. Moving on, the second biggest news of the week is the monster comeback Thomas is slowly making after weeks of mediocrity. With Joe Thornton slowly beginning to look like Joe Thornton again, "poop" is beginning to pick up steam. Les had an excellent week on the back of Jerome Iginla, who was a Godsend to a team infested by swedish twins. Mike and Louis tied for fourth, with both showing decent performances. Any other week they could have been second or third. Khalid continues to suffer at the bottom of the league, but I'm sure as soon as he updates his lineups, he'll dominate once again. Francis was essentially the same story as last week, so I'll just cut and paste what I said last week: "Francis saw a little bit of a dropoff... Francis strangely thought that Kozlov should sit out for a week."

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 217
2. 2pac (Louis): 210
3. The Fobs (Mike): 198
4. FOS (Francis): 196
5. poop (Thomas): 182
6. The Terrorists (Khalid): 180
7. Chronic (Les): 169

Gettin' intense, boys. Gettin' intense.

Transactions:
Francis traded Evgeni Malkin to Les for 1 transaction, which he promptly unloaded for Martin Straka.

Louis dropped Joffrey Lupul and added Saku Koivu.

Waivers for week 11:
Mike
Les
Khalid
Thomas
Francis
Louis
Dave

Week 9, and I'm feelin' fine...

In case you ever doubted the fact that Fantasy Sports in general are a complete crapshoot...

Here's week 9 in a fancy 3-colored list for your viewing pleasure:
Louis: 30
Khalid: 27
Dave: 21
Mike: 20
Francis: 19
Leslie: 17
Thomas: 14

After a week in which we all thought it'd be a relatively low scoring week, Louis (and St. Louis) decide to be asshats and get a retarded number of points on thursday night. Khalid enjoyed a similar last minute rush from Lecavalier, while continuing to cash in on Jagr and Shanahan's geriatric magic. Dave has been the epic model of consistency in this dumb league, turning in a solid 21 (not to mention the first appearance of Rick DiPietro in this league). Mike and Francis saw a little bit of a dropoff, mainly because Mike didn't have Ovechkin in, while Francis strangely thought that Kozlov should sit out for a week. Leslie is slowly starting to climb back to respectable numbers, learning the dangers of putting all your eggs in one basket. Especially when that basket is the Sedins. Thomas has definitely hit a slump. If we were playing a league with more scoring statistics, He would probably be doing much better. Fact of the matter is, Zdeno Chara's 1230823 penalty minutes don't mean shit in the big leagues, son.

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. 2pac (Louis): 189
2. (TIE) Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 181
2. (TIE) FOS (Francis): 181
4. The Fobs (Mike): 177
5. The Terrorists (Khalid): 161
6. poop (Thomas): 156
7. Chronic (Les): 146

Louis jumps out to an 8 point lead! Who'da thunk it? Dave and Francis are tied for second with a palindromic score of 181, while Mike hangs on to a close fourth place. Khalid is 15 points behind him, beginning to suffer the harsh effects of not emailing a new roster to Louis. Thomas lies 6 points behind, with the best team in any other league, and Les is an enormous 43 points behind our first place GM, and has a long way to go.

Like I said: crapshoot.

Transactions:
Nothing of consequence.

Waivers for week 10:
Dave
Mike
Les
Khalid
Thomas
Francis
Louis

Week 8.

Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, hey "The Dave", your team didn't do all that hot this week. No, it did not. In fact, I tied for second last. That's right. So, because of that, I'm not going to update this week. Simple as that. I'm not kidding.











NO. REALLY. YOU FUCKERS HAVE HEARD THE LAST FROM ME! I QUIT! THIS STUPID LEAGUE SUCKS! I HATE HEATLEY AND HOSSA! @(&#^@(&^#@(#









... poo.

Week 8.

Thought I was serious, did you? Well obviously you don't know me too well.

Here's week 8 in a fancy 3-colored list for your viewing pleasure:

Francis: 34
Louis: 24
Mike: 18
Les: 15
Thomas: 13
Dave: 13
Khalid: 12

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. FOS (Francis): 162
2. Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 160
3. 2pac (Louis): 159
4. The Fobs (Mike): 157
5. poop (Thomas): 142
6. The Terrorists (Khalid): 134
7. Chronic (Les): 129

It's a REALLY tight race, with only 5 points separating first place and fourth place. But the gap between first and last is slowly beginning to widen. And by "slowly" I mean "quickly".

And by "widen" I mean "stay the same".

Waivers for week 9:
Louis
Dave
Mike
Les
Khalid
Thomas
Francis

Week 7. *PLUS* a new feature??

You know what they say... Seven is heaven. And for Dave and Louis, week 7 was, indeed, week Heaven.

Here's week 7 in a fancy 3-colored list for your viewing pleasure:
Dave: 31
Louis: 31
Leslie: 24
Thomas: 18
Francis: 17
Mike: 16
Khalid: 14

Wild and wacky is what this week was. A tie for first with 31 points? That's just silly. And what's the deal with Mike? from first to second last? What's that about?

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 147
2. The Fobs (Mike): 139
3. 2pac (Louis): 135
4. poop (Thomas): 129
5. FOS (Francis): 128
6. The Terrorists (Khalid): 122
7. Chronic (Les): 114

33 point difference from 1st to 7th. The gap is starting to grow. But again, we've still got a retarded number of weeks to go, so don't give up hope yet.

NEW FEATURE: After every 7 week period (when the waivers reset) I'll be updating everyone on who has made the most points for each team so far.

OFFENSIVE MVPs:
poop: Joe Thornton (SJ) - 26 Points.
The Terrorists: Jaromir Jagr (NYR) - 23 Points.
Chronic: Joe Sakic (COL) - 16 Points.
The Fobs: Patrick Marleau (SJ) - 27 Points.
Edmonton Eagles: Sidney Crosby - 21 Points.
2pac: Teemu Selanne (ANA) - 27 Points.
FOS: Eric Staal (CAR) - 22 Points.

DEFENSIVE MVPs:
poop: Scott Neidermeyer (ANA) - 18 Points.
The Terrorists: Kimmo Timmonen (NSH) - 10 Points.
Chronic: Chris Pronger (ANA) - 24 Points.
The Fobs: Lubomir Visnovsky (LA) - 10 Points.
Edmonton Eagles: Tomas Kaberle (TOR) - 18 Points.
2pac: Brian McCabe (TOR) - 18 Points.
FOS: John-Michael Liles (COL) - 13 Points.

Keep in mind that these stats don't reflect their actual NHL stats, only the points you've made while you've had these fuckers on your team. A couple interesting facts: 3/7 first round picks were also the top offensive scorers on their teams. Only one MVP came from a trade (Damn you Louis).

Week 6.

Wait a minute... What's this?? An update?? on TIME??? Holy salmon this is incredible. Thank the wonders of E-Mail. And my laptop.

Here's week 6 in a fancy 3-colored list for your viewing pleasure:
Mike: 27
Louis: 21
Francis: 21
Dave: 18
Thomas: 16
Khalid: 15
Les: 10

It looks like Mike is quickly becoming the powerhouse of the league, with two #1 weeks in a row. Louis makes an enormous comeback from last place last week, while Francis maintains his second place role. Dave dropped ever so slightly down to a decent showing for fourth, while Thomas continues to put up decent - but not great - numbers after jumping out to a gidonkulous lead in the first couple weeks. Khalid follows closely behind biding his time for a big comeback, while Les continues to struggle along with the Sedins.

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. The Fobs (Mike): 123
2. Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 116
3. (TIE) poop (Thomas): 111
3. (TIE) FOS (Francis): 111
5. The Terrorists (Khalid): 108
6. 2pac (Louis): 104
7. Chronic (Les): 90

Everyone cracked the century mark this week except Les. But remember, there's still many weeks left to play, and there's only a 33 point difference from 1st to 7th.

Transactions:
Francis dropped Andy MacDonald, picked up Vyacheslav Kozlov. Which brings him to only 1 honkin transaction.
Dave dropped Colby Armstrong and picked up Michael Nylander. Yes, I realize Louis got an excellent deal. I hate him.

Waivers for week 7:

Week 4... AND 5.

Since Louis was so busy "studying," I haven't been able to update the blog. That's about to change. Here's week 4 in a fancy list with 3 colors for your viewing pleasure:

Dave: 27
Louis: 20
Francis: 19
Khalid: 19
Thomas: 16
Mike: 13
Les: 10

OH HO HO! Who's the man? Kaberle is the man. Five Goals? Four Assists? Yowza. Week 5 was probably the closest week we've had so far. We had a fancy 3 way tie for second, with first place only one point ahead. We also had a 2 way tie for last, so this week we had two big losers. The point differential between first and last was only 6. Wow. everyone's getting competitive. Here's week 5 in a fancy list with 3 colors for your viewing pleasure:

Mike: 21
Khalid: 20
Francis: 20
Dave: 20
Thomas: 17
Les: 15
Louis: 15

And here's the updated stats overall in the league:
1. Edmonton Eagles (Dave): 99
2. The Fobs (Mike): 96
3. poop (Thomas): 95
4. The Terrorists (Khalid): 93
5. FOS (Francis): 90
6. 2pac (Louis): 83
7. Chronic (Les): 81

Week 3 was odd. Here's how you bastards did:

Louis (and the power of Dave making dumb trades): 19
Thomas (and the power of hockey fanaticism): 19
Dave (and the power of apathy): 16
Khalid (and the power of greater apathy): 12


So after adding up all the scores, here's the current standings:

1. (tie) Thomas, Mike
3. Leslie
4. Khalid
5. Dave
