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.
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!)
I know Ollie is perhaps the most likable guy in the history of the world but the man love for him is bordering on the ridiculous. :)
