MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Draft Day: To Whalers: Shooters pick (#24) (used to draft Scherbak, who I wanted along with Barbashev+Pasternak) To Shooters: Whalers pick (#57)+ $.50 in 15-16 23 Ivan Barbashev STL F 24 David Pastrnak BOS F 25 Nikita Scherbak MTL F 44 Christian Folin MIN D 57 Rinat Valiev TOR D 64 Hudson Fasching BUF F 72 Brenden Kichton WPG D Martin St. Louis NYR F $11.00 Mark Arcobello EDM F $1.00 Goalies-B Philadelphia PHI G $0.25 Matt Beleskey ANA F $0.25 Goalies-B NY Islanders NYI G $0.25 Mike Reilly CLB D $0.25 Scott Gomez NJD F $0.25 Matt Halischuk WPJ F $0.25 Goalies-B Calgary CGY G $0.25 Eric Gryba OTT D $0.25 Jordan Leopold STL D $0.25 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 October Moves: Add: T.Erixon CBJ D To Whalers: $.50 in 16-17 To Thieves: Tarasov+Martinook To Whalers: Iginla, JJohnson, NJ Gtd To Ravens: Barbashev, Fast, (both on farm) Whalers #2+#3 in 2015, Erixon CBJ D, NYI Gtd, $.25 in 15-16 hated giving up on Barby, but wanted the depth, esp at D and NJ gtd was a target. Iginla was actually my target at the auction with my limited funds, but St.Louis went less than I would have guessed so spent it on him. Now I have both. Link to post Share on other sites

You should all be very excited, you will all use it soon too. Budweiser goal light? I am going to get one soon... Was at a poker game on Saturday, the guy had one..We were all excited...Yup the Leafs got shutout..FML Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 http://wejustscored.com/teams/hfd.html Not the same when you get home to find out your losing. Gonna need a Giordano goal on his goalies, to put me back into this game. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 did the Penguins change their goal song? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Man, Brass Bonanza is so great... unlike any other goal song... it's so weird, it's like a college fight song or something, not a fast beat or rock-ish song to get you pumped up. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 It really is! Have I ever played it at the AHL draft? One of my other pools I used to play after every ex-Whaler or Hurricane was taken. You'd love it for the first 4 hours, and then kind of get sick of it after that. And then you couldn't get it out of your head for days! lol Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Whalers own Tommy Wingels https://vine.co/v/ObYgg0PVKrJ Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Officially called up Gustav Nyqvist on Sunday November 2nd. Was tempted to keep him on the farm one more year, but the combination of empty fwd spots that day and the panic from the awful start of the year, changed my mind. Called him up, he got nothing. My other 2 decisions that I chose to keep on the farm for now (Monahan+Tatar) both scored. All my forwards scored a combined 0. Luckily, D and GTD came thru, narrow victory over the Swackers. Its been a tough month for the Whalers. Scored the first 4 goals in the NHL on Friday night......but it was an off night. Kessel and Nyqvist continue to score when not in the lineup. hoping this trend ends soon, so I can get back into the race in our division. Last in standings, first in plus/minus.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Also, Mark Giordano has been named the captain of the Whalers. This guy is our MVP, from huge games last year during the playoff run, to last nights heroics to kill our slump. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 per rotoworld.... David Masternak was selected as the AHL Rookie of the Month for October. In seven games for Providence, Pastrnak generated two goals and seven assists to earn the honor. Masternak currently has 10 points in nine contests with the Bruins' minor-league affiliate. He should get a chance to play with the big club at some point this season. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 noting so I have something to whine about tomorrow...........last minute change of Skinner out, Nyqvist in. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 way too early for this, and we all know its going to change. But... Whalers own the players who are: 2nd overall in scoring (Voracek) 3rd overall in scoring (Kessel) 5th overall in scoring, and highest D-man (Giordano) its strange to look at the top 5 and see 3 Whalers. Usually more about depth then top power. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well I think 1 of those players will end the season in the top 5 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 You think? I dont know, I see Voracek as more top 10. Also, my record should probably be better with these 3 playing like this. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You think? I dont know, I see Voracek as more top 10. Also, my record should probably be better with these 3 playing like this. You need to coach Kessel better on game nights. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Tell me about it. Nothings worse than seeing your best player in the AHL score on an off night, when he's playing your goalie who is your MVP in your other pool. I needed a 3-0 Boston win last night, couple of goals by Marchand, but got nothing near what I needed. That hurt. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 to Whalers: M.Streit PHI DEF to Greaseballs: M.Beleskey ANA FWD T.Redier ARZ FWD Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 beefing up the D. Im a Streit fan, hoping he can keep up his magic and stay healthy for another year or 3. Beleskey has been crazy good, and I think Reider has a really bright future, but we're playing to win now in WhalerLand. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What a trade. Sell absurdly high on someone playing soooo unsustainably and an FA pickup from like a week ago for a legit d-man. I had Beleskey last year, traded him to Dale this summer, and he let him go unsigned. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I dont know what to do with Tatar. He's hot, has like 10pts in his last 7gp, but I already have Nyqvist, so cant call up Tatar too. someone trade me a Tatar-clone on another team! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hmm. I don't have anyone like that I don't think. Plus I have the worse, but younger, Jurco. I'm no help. Link to post Share on other sites
