• Submit what you feel will be the best lineup for the Canadian Gothic. I'm not expecting to win this game, but what lineup do you feel will give me the highest score? Be sure to indicate an OT player as it may be required to break any ties.

It's not a conflict of interest because I'm submitting my own lineup. I'm not soliciting advice. You can submit what you feel would be my best lineup and still hope for me to lose.I'm fairly certain Screamin' Eagles will take this one.

Janne Niinimaa won't play. Mathieu Dandenault and Francis Bouillon are back from injuries.Carbonneau also clearly stated that Mark Streit is their 7th defenseman at the moment.

That's okay, I have untill 11:00am tomorrow to edit it.

Kevin Dallman replaces Janne Niinimaa

[gruven]

Corey Sarich replaces Janne Niinimaa And I'm replacing the Nashville equipment guy with the Atlanta equipment guy, but I'm sticking with the Edmonton Zamboni driver.

How am I doing?

If I am right since you had the same offensive lineup then me and our only 2 differences were on the point you are at +5.5Schubert and Sarich have assists so thats +1 over me at 4.5

I owe you $5.Sarich with a point. Lukowich with a point. Schubert with a point. The big guns were firing tonight.A quick count but the final score looks like...Canadian Gothic 4Screamin' Eagles 1.5Lucky again tonight I guess.

It would have been a Pain in the *** to send me 5 Bucks all the way to California. As well as me sending you 5 in Canada.

It was winner take all so Chris would have been waiting anxiously at the post office for your $5.

Winner Take all. Pshhh that's the worst Idea I've seen or heard since the Kings put Dallman at Center.

To be fair I would have covered the FEDEX overnight courier charges to get the 5 bucks delivered from Belanger...... That was fun, and a great idea Dale.... you could take SO many factors into consideration.... I know I bust chops, but I admire the work you, and Serge, Daniel, Nate... all you AHL'ers... do in this pool. It's certainly one of the better pools I've ever seen (which is why I pushed the idea of Daniel doing his story on the AHL in the Hockey News). Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'd kick all your asses if I was in your pool. (the preceding statement was a fabrication).

Thanks. It is a great pool. Maybe FCP will look into that betting feature Nate was talking about once they get the poker thingy working smoothly.

sorry i missed it, great idea DM. I'd be in this next time, my fin ready in my hand to pass out at the end of the night!
