Yeah, always looking out for #1 eh?

No it wont, he's been on the 2nd line with Zetterberg and Cleary while getting 1st PP time. He's a HUGE reason why they are 0-2. Him and the goaltending, he shouldnt be on a top team in the NHL playing those mins.

I never expected to win but wow last place!!!

I probably had the worst night of the pool. Ducks score 6, Getzlaf finds a way to get 0 points

as long as OV and Gaborick are going, I should never stray to far from the lead.

Sweet I passed Hemlock... No longer last place haha!

i have hit first !!!!
if only it would last
who would have thought Emery would be giving me the most points so far

emery is in net again and so far philly has the 2-0 lead

Bryzgalov has been amazing for me

I haven't done this piss-poorly in a hockey pool in quite some time. I keep telling myself that it's still early, but who am I trying to convince?

Hey, I hit top-4. Of course it's not going to last. MOI is 1 point behind and has 5 playing tonight to my 1. My player tonight is Selanne, playing on consecutive nights, after he scored both regulation goals and the shootout winner last night. What are the chances he can follow that up with a hat-trick tonight against King Henrik?

Here's hoping that Turco plays lights out (4 of MOI's players are Canucks playing against Dallas).

Well, you were very generous with picking Toskala for yourself, and Anderson for Clutch (recall that Toskala was taken in the 6th, while Andersaon was a 7th rounder). Also, I don't believe Krejci has played yet.

Mind you, it doesn't look good for the future either. Blake was demoted to the third line, Toskala looks to soon be 3rd on their goalie depth chart, and Franzen is out 4-6 months. Spezza is bound to start getting better, but he can't overcome that much drag from the others.

There is something to picking second. Having OV is like money in the bank. But the real gamble is Gaborik. As long as he is healthy, I will do well, but the minute he yanks his groin again, I'm in trouble

Krejci has played and played pretty well, so he's bound to come on. St.Louis is $ in the bank, but yeah, I'm in deep Dung with Franzen and deep Dung with Toskala.

Arnott, Knuble, Kozlov can still save things for me. Blake is all the Leafs have, so they might as well play the crap out of him.

Del Zotto is PPG and yet nobody picked him.

So is Picard (3 games, 3 assists). Know what I'm saying?

OH oh, I have 11 players playing tonight

I've now got three players left with zero points. Bouchard is apparently still suffering from his concussion. But the other two -- Huet and Antropov. I would have never, ever guessed that those two would be oh-fers for me.

Well, I was right about not staying in 4th for long. I was just 4 points out of first, now I'm 22 points out. All in about 3-4 nights of hockey. Weird schedule?

Only Bouchard is left pointless now. How do you like the new offensively minded Wild? Bouchard has an excuse since he hasn't played yet, but my other Minny player -- Sykora -- has one point in 4 games.

Huet finally got a win, but Leino is 3-0 with 1.73 and .912 while Huet is 1-1-1 with 3.69 and .831. Yikes! And my other goalie is Price. Double 'Yikes'!
