hey one of mine is hurt also!

I also have 2 guys out... both my on-pace-for 4-5 points- Defensemen.

You picked a lot of Leafs. They've one twice int he last 10. I picked a lot of Sens. They've been playing better. The trends will certainly reverse. 46 points sounds like a commanding lead, but with a 20-man roster it can go really, really quickly.

As I said earlier in this thread, I never get too excited about pools until near the end. I have seen WAY too many *commanding* leads get frittered away.

In my other pool, I was up by almost 40. Now it is 14. Suddenly a bunch of guys go cold (Koivu, Dubinsky...) and other guys get in jured (Semin, MacDonald) ... and the whole thing turns around.

... then again, Colaiacovo should at least play in St. Louis once his foot isn't too sore... so that has to be good news for me. Also, Van Ryn will be back at some point and so will Nabakov

All I need is Nabby and Brodeur to come back and I might be able to sprint the final laps and get close.

EDIT:

Nabby is back tomorrow. So...there's one.

Actually they played last night. Nabokov got the win in OT. So stop whining, Bill.

LOL... Yes... He's back... Very good news...

Hey Walter... I see you have moved into second

Which means you are gaining on me

This pool ain't over!!

Jamvan has been gaining ground on me.

In fact, I think the group as a whole has been gaining ground on me

Hmmm. Now that you mention it, I haven't checked in a while because it's so depressing. Let me see where I am...

Most of my team is finally back from long-term injuries. Hopefully I can close some points soon.

Every day my once mighty lead gets a little slimmer ...

Jamvan is making a charge!

1 Aetherial 914
2 jamvan 882 32 32
3 PKC 857 25 57
4 rooneypoo 841 16 73
5 SensGirl11 821 20 93

Here are the updated Top 5. Still a great selection sheet from Aetherial, but Jam is coming up. PKC too.

Good for you guys.*

I HATE THIS POOL! LOL

I'm just kidding, but man, I was in the top 5 for a while, and then WHAM!

I am also very sad.

there's still time, except my two or three Sens players will NOT help my cause any!
LOL

Still think it might be a little too late. This pool has been a good battle all season long though!!!

I don't think I'm going to move up much, but 5th place isn't too shabby. (Cute!)
