MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 to be fair though Berglund wasn't in the Big M's lineup for his hat trick. The GM of the Big M's is going to have a word with the Coach of the Big M's about that one. I figured that was just you being nice and not trying to run up the Champions League score. Keep it close so I get some entertainment. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Whalers and Big M's play each other on Saturday. If Whalers win in regulation and they win on Sunday and The Big M's lose on Sunday the two teams will be tied and The Whalers will have the tiebreaker and win the division. I almost creamed in my pants at the thought Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Starting Christian Dvorak for the first time today, in a "Big" game. lol Was going to put in Tyler Johnson instead of him or maybe HSedin, but I couldnt find out before the deadline if he was in. I would use Johnson mostly just to cover a bit of any Kucherov pts. Noticed Bob is using Berglund. uh oh Also, is it a bad idea to use a FWD+DEF, against my goalies? I never know if its something worth considering, I used the only goalie I had, and the best F+D. I really dont expect to catch Bob, but I still want to put in my best lineup if I can, Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't think it matters if you play against your goalies or not. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Since I have to stay up to watch these games, I figured I might as well take 2min to find something else to whine about. Im the 'top seed' of this round, and get to play #6 seed PK Dealers, vs PK lost 4-1 but if I had other opponents: vs #4 seed Shortstackers I'd be up 4-1 vs #5 seed Broadway, I'd be up 4-1 and if other conference vs #6 Shoot Loose, up 4-1 vs #5 Red Ravens, up 4-1 vs #4 Mustangs, up 5-0 vs #3 Steelheads, down 2-3 Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Tough loss, Arp! You had a very good season...I don't think you expected your team to do this well back in September. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Season over, brutal exit. Couldn't lose to a nicer guy though, so it stings 1% less. But man it stings to know I had a good round but just played the wrong guy. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Tough loss, Arp! You had a very good season...I don't think you expected your team to do this well back in September. But overall, this was the worst thing that could have happened, right? If you're on the bubble, being a lock to make the playoffs, building a solid roster for the playoffs by trading futures, then losing in 5games with the 2nd best scores every night....it sucks. Sorry, it really stings this morning. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 keeping things personal, dislocation #4 on Tues March 7th at basketball. Above was #2. Strange coincidence? The 4 dislocations: February 20-11 March 7-14 March 9-15 February 7-16 somehow this forum+thread became my diary. lol Lets keep rolling with the Whalers thread being more about me, so someday I can look back and laugh. Dislocation #5, Thurs April 20,2017 Basketball Steve, have I tied you yet? worst part is, I'm in the best shape of maybe my whole life, down to 182, doing a lot of running and had started to work out to strengthen the shoulder. I'm determined to keep this going, and hoping posting this will play a role in motivating me to keep at this weight, and keep working out once the shoulder has healed, and then be ready to play sports in September with a much stronger shoulder.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Huge move for us, time to go big or go home. There's is a teardown coming in Whalerland, but we're going to try 2 more kicks at the can. We start with this move to try to put us into serious contention for this year: To Whalers: E Karlsson Jamie Benn Gaborik To Broadway: Ryan Murphy-Min Brandon Sutter Emelin G Vilardi Whalers 2018 1st Whalers 2019 1st (contingent) $5 in 19/20 $5 in 20/21 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Funny sidebar to this trade: Ryan Murphy was a throw in for salary cap purposes, because he is a whopping $3 as a first round draft pick. That 1st rounder was originally John's, and it came to me via our first trade ever in AHL. In that deal, I got a 1st and Giordano, for 4 picks in Johns first year. Giordano I have had all these years, and just traded him away in a package for a first....and that was Vilardi! Im going to really enjoy these posts when I read them again in 2022!

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 We continue to try to turn this 0-2 (0-3 in 3hrs?) team into a contender. To Whalers: J.Voracek PHI FWD S.Weber MTL DEF To Winn Combo: B.Skjei NYR DEF $1.25 in 19-20 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Someone explain this one to me from the winning combination's perspective 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Skjei is cheap at $1, $1.25, $1.50 next 3 years Voracek+Weber are rentals, only good for this year I actually had quite a few decent offers for Skjei, most of them good fwds at similar contracts, but I wanted to go more for this year, hence why I dealt him anyway. That, plus NYR gp really limits his prodctn for me this year Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Someone explain this one to me from the winning combination's perspective rebuilding team hoping that the 23 year old d-man with the good contract coming off the 39 point season progresses even further so they trade a couple rentals for him.
