serge 904 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Cheap Thieves after a pathetic showing lost their AHL semifinal in 5 quick games...The cocky Thieves were never in it from the start and deserve to lose..Looks like back to the drawing board from Gm Negreanu as his team is not good enough to compete..See you next year.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I actually made a big mistake and it cost me game 4. I had an empty spot and could have used Okposo in the game- he had a goal and an assist. Other than that, my lineups weren't great (missing Gagne and Perry hurt) and Tony's team is on fire. Going into the series I actually posted that I was an underdog based on the schedule, Tony's team being on fire, etc. As for next season, my team is going to be better and Serge's team... well, it's going to suck pretty atrociously. I just put SEVERAL excellent players on the trading block. Always looking to improve and create a dynasty, the following players have been made available:Alexei KovalevOlli JokinenHenrik SedinSimon GagneEric BelangerRaffi TorresRoman HamrlikToni Lydman Next season I hope to have several ROY candidates in the lineup to take their place am looking to trade some point a game players for some even younger players with potential. The torch has been handed down to players like Anze Kopitar, Alexander Semin, Jason Pominville, Andrei Kostitsyn, Corey Perry, etc. On the horizon for next season:Bobby RyanKyle OkposoBenoit PouliotTJ OshieNicklas BergforsJack SkilleKris RussellMarc-Andre GragnaniAlex Goligoski This season the Cheap Thieves finished where they were supposed to. The fourth best team in the league, down to the final four. The team is solidly placed to improve on that position next season and in the seasons to come. Defense is clearly a liability but there are several longer term prospects on the farm that will eventually step in. I'm looking to trade some of my blue chip forwards (in their prime) to grab a young, hot d-man or two in the off season. Possibly a Johnson and Johnson combo, or possibly even a Dion Phaneuf or Brian Campbell. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Oh no, now I'm feeling a bit sick. I would have beat Shoot Loose in game 6 and would have been going to a game 7 if I didn't make a huge mistake and leave an empty roster spot instead of using Okposo. He scored and added a helper in game 4 and that would have won me the game. Big oops there, could cost me a title shot. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 The real story is the Big Ms might lose and are playing a seventh game...In game 5 the only way he loses is if Iginla scores a hat trick on his goalies..Lo and behold BOOM BOOM BOOM...Good luck to Ed Link to post Share on other sites
