Toronto finally wins a game, with "The Monster" in net. Seems like the team finally got sick of its low scoring offence, and went all out this game.

Unlucky for me, Toronto's first win comes against my starting goalie.

Burke is probably furious at the start of the season but I think he'll be a bit happier. I think the leafs will get a bit better as the season goes on.

Who ranks above them, the Kings and the Hawks!? Obviously not, but good season for previously bad teams (Hawks excluded here)...

Let's not go overboard and just call it a good season debut.

There are still 70 games to play.

Nah, Penguins and Avalanche, both deserving. I love how Kings and Avs were 14th/15th in the West last season and are now 2nd/1st, albeit with games in hand.

I think the "debut" will continue though..!

Vineon · Oct 30th, 2009, 8:16:49 PM

I'd be shocked of the Kings and Avs keep that pace.

CaptainKishimoto · Oct 31st, 2009, 1:59:14 AM

I think the Ducks are back on track.

Stallion · Oct 31st, 2009, 2:27:01 AM

If someone had offered me a million dollars to bet on the Avalanche being first and the Kings being second in the west at this point in the season, I'd have had second thoughts even if I only had to pay the dude 10 bucks of my own (well thats a bit of an exaggeration but still).

CaptainKishimoto · Nov 2nd, 2009, 12:51:58 AM

Hopefully Ovechkin isn't injured too badly.

He is overdue for an injury but I hope not as well!

Also, just a reminder guys, keep the gentleman's rule in mind as far streaming in players for quick stats. We kept it open in hopes that everyone plays fairly.

Yeah yeah, had a talk with synre about it yesterday, won't do it for last minute savings anymore.

for info, the Stoll add was before that talk so I dropped him still.

Psycho · Nov 2nd, 2009, 4:20:14 PM

Okay, I just wanted to remind everyone that in general we are trying to avoid that while allowing Vineon room enough to maneuver with his strategy.

*Teifu+* · Nov 2nd, 2009, 4:37:54 PM

Of course, you could always just, you know, not play the guy you streamed in (again)...

Posting because of this though:

TRICK OR TREAT
Courtesy of Sun Media: Best costumes of the year go to Dustin Penner and Andrew Cogliano, who decided to have a little fun with their off-season issues at the Oilers' Halloween party. Both were part of a trade package that was supposed to fetch the Oilers Dany Heatley. Cogliano went as Heatley, complete with the jersey and the identical visor. Penner showed up as Santa Claus, with "No-trade Clause" written on his back in Heatley's honour.

CaptainKishimoto · Nov 2nd, 2009, 7:53:38 PM

Pick up Halak, there I helped ;)

gr33n · Nov 3rd, 2009, 4:36:59 AM

Actually didn't think of that synre, but I'll bench Plekanec tonight to even that out.
Now please give me a break about it.

Yeah, I mean, no reason to penalize yourself this week over an oversight or accident or whatever from last week!

CaptainKishimoto · Nov 3rd, 2009, 4:29:09 PM

We should let Jackal stream, he needs help up the ass.

*Teifu+* · Nov 3rd, 2009, 7:13:16 PM

I hear trades are a good way to make your team better. I am always unsure why teams that are obviously struggling try to solve things via free agency. Players are usually free agents for a reason... there are always deals out there that work for both sides.

EDIT: Although man wow, looking at Jackal's roster he only has 7 dudes I would have drafted in a 16 round draft. Sheesh!

Jackal* · Nov 3rd, 2009, 8:06:53 PM

halak is in!!!

who has more advice?????

and teifu your words hurt I shall defend my team with honour. There are at least 8 players I would draft.

EDIT: and there are 3 teams worse than me AND wer is beating us all so who is laughing.

wer · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:42:20 PM

i would be but tbh the islanders are making me nervous

this whole winning business is kinda weird
