DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I absolutely pounded the Mustangs last night. Schnieder and Hamrlik with three assists each, a G and A from Jokinen, Semin, goals from Gagne, Kopitar, Pominville. Tonight, the Thieves are in tough. I was stuck in a hotel room with no internet connection so I didn't see the Tkachuk trade in time to switch him out and put Torres in the lineup. It scares me that it could cost me the game. Last night, both the Killers and Ghosts won, so with very little time there is a lot of ground to make up. Not looking good.Cheap ThievesKeith Tkachuk, STL. 0Alexander Semin, WAS.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 A note to Serge: I realize that you "think" you've been unlucky with injuries, but you need to factor that in when you have an older team. In fact, I'd say that you've been lucky from an injury perspective not to lose guys like Sakic and Kariya for extended time. Bad luck is related to scheduling mostly. Playing against teams that happen to have big nights on a consistent basis. If not for that, if you look at my players stats and goals against, it's clear that my team has been very unlucky this year. Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 One more thing Serge: do you REALLY want to bet on the Leafs versus the Flyers in three years? Seriously? The Flyers are doing what the Leafs could have done years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously down 5 points, both games are of the "must win" variety." Link to post Share on other sites

If not for that, if you look at my players stats and goals against, it's clear that my team has been very unlucky this year.your team, despite being decent now, is all about the future . serge has got no future. he is banking on his non playoff team now, plus +1/2 expensive guys, being good enough to secure a championship within three years, with the big m's in the position they are in that seems very unlikely, when they start to get a little old/ expensive your team will be winning and competing for championships for a good 5 years whereas serge's team will be bottom feeders having missed out on a championship due to bad timing, management (?) and lack of assets.i have respect for serge for sticking to his guns and believing that his team is good enough to do the job within three years, and defending them so vehemently, but sadly for him i dont think it will happen. i think Shoot Loose will be the man to beat in future years. his team is awesome now, AND has a great farm. i dont know how he went about it but he's done a great job building his team.For what it's worth, its not just the old guys who get injured - Gaborik's injury probably cost me my FCHL playoff spot this year and he is only 24 (albeit he's been injury prone but i pray he will get healthy for good from now on!)

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Brutal, brutal, brutal! Only 29 seconds left in the Van/Dal game and Modano assists on a goal againt my team. That's going to make it close. Link to post Share on other sites

While my team is all about the future, they are heating up in a big way right now and could make noise in the playoffs. The Shack conference will be a three horse race the next six seasons. The Ghosts- Crosby, Thorton, Phaneuf, Radulov, Shoot Loose, and my team. The rest are well behind as far as the upcoming seasons go. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 So ridiculous. 30 seconds away from a shut out and a 2 goal lead going into the last two games and Dallas gets two goals, both assisted by his players. I'm up 0.5 now, but I think I'm dead meat. Come on Ryan Malone you BUM!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I have astocked farm of great offensive blueliners set to be in the NHL as early as next season: Alex Gologoski, Kris Russell, Ivan Vishnevskiy, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

That's the big difference between my farm and his. My farm are first round picks for the most part and should be 2.50 for five years, much like Kopitar's contract will look. Semin was a little "too good" this season. Link to post Share on other sites
