I have a feeling that the top 4 teams are going to be crazy close.

Mission NW really got the game out of Pittsburgh that he needed with some vital PIM too.

Yup, my goaltending was incredible at 1.99GAA and a .930SV% but it still wasnt enough. Xavier killed me with his roster decisions, especially with his goalies. I mean he sat out Miller twice against the Leafs when he was scored on 5 and 4 times in 2 separate games. But man, Fleury came big for me today with the shutout and put me over the top. I made some bad forward decisions too. Kovalchuk is incredibly streaky. I had to pick up Witt just for his extra PIMs. I think with 1 game to go tonight, I'm pretty safe to go to the finals. Looks like I'll be seeing you there Fred.

I also had 2 PPG by Semin stolen... both times his shots BARELY, if at all, touched a teammates jersey, or neck strap and the goal was given to that player instead of Semin

You did indeed. It's going to be a very interesting championship final match, i'll certainly be keeping an eye on that one. We're down to the last 4 matches of the year now, i personally think it's gone quite quickly but it's certainly been alot of fun.

I think i chose wisely on tuesday with regards to my goalies. All 3 had wins but Hasek and Halak had shutouts.

Speaking of goalies, Fred seems to be using some interesting tactics with regards to goalies. Very close match between him and Mission for the championship :)

I picked up Ryane Clowe and I got a fight out of him (+5 PIM).

God knows why his parents added and 'e' to Ryan. That probably forced him to be a tough guy. The other kids probably called him "Ry-Anne"

Edit: Woot! 6-5 with three nights to go.

I have three NYI players going tonight and I might need them to win the hockey pool. Yet, my moral quandary is that I don't want the NYI to eliminate the Leafs (who are holding onto 8th place with a whisper and prayer).

I definitely don't want those guys getting a GWG. Any of my other players are welcome to get GWG, particularly Jamie Langenbrunner. What I really need, however, are a few more assists. If I can hold the assists column, I should be able to win even if bayrider gets a GWG and breaks that logjam.

bayrider needs 4 assists and 1 GWG by my reckoning. I think I'm fairly safe in most other categories. If we do end up in a 5-5 tie then my extra 10 goals should make the difference.

Wow, I'm glad that is over. The entire two weeks was neck and neck. I'm sure I would have lost if I had tried to go toe-to-toe with bayrider's goalies. Perhaps that shouldn't be allowed but, hey, it worked. :ninja:

Incidentally, when I checked this morning I got a bronze trophy presumably because I was third during the regular season.

Edit: They fixed that.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS
