And so it begins.

lol....

The steelheads sent a representative to the draft, he still hasnt shown up yet..

Consider it my gift to you, an attempt to even the playing field.
It was kinda like trying to let the retarded kid get a head start....

big talk tough guy..

Lets go...$50 my team vs yours??

Head to head, overall record, division finish..... take your pick, I will bet them all with you...

overall record...$50

$50 bonus if you sweep all 3 of : head to head, overall record and division finish

Nice... $50 freeroll...

not really..I am just insuring myself of him getting overly lucky when we play heads up..

First goal in Steelhead franchise history...... Sidney Crosby....

(TORONTO) Last night, in Toronto, the AHLHOF (Alternative Hockey League Hall of Fame) was on hand to collect the game puck and stick from last nights All-Star Mike Richards, whose three goal performance led to the historic first win for the Steelhead's franchise. The Steelheads pulled out a 4-2 victory over the up-and-coming Canadian Gothic, evening their record on the season to 1-1. The Gothic put in a tough battle, with their Shanahan-like team approach, but fell a little short to the superlative effort by Richards.
Next up for the Steelheads are the Mustangs, who, much like their minor league affiliate Toronto Maple Leafs, have gotten off to a shakey start, with losses to the Cheap Thieves and the very weak expansion Magically Delicious. While Mustangs GM Serge Bogoggledydoozyalosioan has vowed to put together a team that will play with 'truculence', his apparent misunderstanding of the word's meaning has led to the assemblage of a team that plays with flatulence....

i must say i laughed..Look forward to taking on the vomit inducing Crosby led Steelheads.

STEELHEADS HUMILIATE CELLAR DWELLING mustangs
(Toronto) THe Steelheads franchise continued to improve on their solid start to the 09-10 AHL season, with a 3- (-1) victory over the slow starting mustangs. Once again, forward Mike Richards played a big part in the victory with another multi point performance, but it was big Joe Thornton that put the Steelheads on his shoulders to pull out the win, with a superlative four assist night.
The mustangs once again showed as much offensive firepower as their minor league affiliate Toronto Maple Leafs, actually sliding into the negative numbers in the loss. mustangs GM Serge Boogaloogalusciousjackson refused comment after the game, but sources inside the mustangs front office have reported that the office budget has been expanded to include a case of remote controls.
The win leaves the Steelheads locked atop the division with the Cheap Thieves. Next up for the team is a saturday night tilt with the expansion Arpford Whalers...

quoted to rub it in your face after your pending losing streak.

It cant start on Saturday though. Its a must win for the Steelheads!

Go Steelheads. Destroy those Whalers.

Its killing me that I already won a game, and nearly squeezed one out against the better Ingmen. This tanking/losing thing is MUCH harder than I imagined. No wonder the Leafs cant finish lower than 9th!

Ummm... good luck tomorrow?

.... I'm also leaving Petr Sykora and David Moss on the bench, although both are like day-to-day still, I think.

lol, I can't give myself that much credit, you should see the lineups in the game I lost last night in the FCHL:

Andrew Ladd
Jean-Pierre Dumont
Ryan Shannon
Alexander Steen
Stephane Veilleux
David Jones

Brian Pothier
Paul Mara
Kurtis Foster
Kevin Klein

vs

Radim Vrbata
Jarret Stoll
Josh Gorges
Carlo Colaiacovo
Alexandre Picard

Neither of us had goalies.

Obviously my FCHL lineup is nowhere near my AHL lineup, but his is definitely worse than yours, heh. He also won by 1.5!

Yikes, made it a lot closer than it needed to be by starting the Isles for some reason... GG.

The Steelheads:


SUCK

STEELHEADS 11 7 3 1 15 DIVISION STANDING: 2nd

the last games not updated yet

Nice, thanks. I bookmarked Dave's site to my team page and never thought of checking the "home" part of it.

God my team sucks. 2015 can't come soon enough.

Five wins in a row..... going for six, with a weak lineup tonight.

Firmly locked into fourth in the league, second in the conference.....

The Magically Delicious are in your rear mirror... be scared

Last night, we won with a weak lineup..... 6 wins in a row...


yes, the HOTTEST TEAM IN THE AHL RIGHT NOW!!!

In an unrelated topic, the Steelheads management is considering launching a class action suit against the perpetrators of the 'Power Rankings'. Obviously, this sham of a statistic is costing my team millions in endorsement money..

Ooooh, about that...PK Dealers had Todd Bertuzzi in his lineup but had him listed as playing for Dallas so I missed him when doing the scores. It turns out that Bertuzzi scored a goal last night so instead of winning by 0.5 the Steelheads lost by 0.5. Sorry about that. Steve Moore knows your pain.

Ouch...

hahahaha i love this..

sucker

No need to be sorry, I still win. If you hand in an NHL lineup that has even a wrong number on it, that player is ineligible to play. Just ask Pat Quinn and Robert Reichel....

Ummm... this is Jay's lineup for his game against you on Wednesday... good luck?

1. Mike Ribeiro - Dallas - OT
2. Taylor Pyatt - Phoenix
3. empty
4. empty
5. empty
6. empty

7. Milan Jurcina - Washington
8. Mike Mottau - New Jersey
9. empty
10. empty

Dallas

Fingers crossed for a Dallas shutout and a hat trick by Prick.

I'll take a Dallas shutout, they're probably my starting goalies as well...

LMAO. I can't believe I actually got a point with that lineup!

Stop tanking!

I crushed the frolickly challenged one..

GG

Its on....

Nice win, good game...

HI there

Nice comeback serge...

It's not over yet, but it's going to be fun..

After being taken to a seventh game in the qualifying round by a less talented but very hard working mustang team, it appears that the Steelheads are now running on all cylinders in their quest for the Reject Cup. The scare provided by the 'stangs has forced the Steelheads to buckle down and work harder. The sketchy goaltending has actually settled in and provided some stability, and the scoring is a little more balanced. Despite a brief scare that Captain Sidney Crosby had his leg amputated during an attempted murder yesterday by convicted goon Steve Downie, the team is now poised to clinch their semi-final series in four straight games, leading the Purple Hearts (or is is Haze??? WHO THE HELL KNOWS?) by three games to zip.
If the Steelheads can clinch, they would move on to play the winner of the Whalers, with their GM Arp 'The Tank', or the PK Dealers.

you ready?

Chop? LOL

I swear that was my next word too.

Truthfully, not that it's about the prize money, but I'm not even sure what we've won so far or what we will end up winning...

You're both guaranteed $500 already and the winner of your series will win another $500 and be the proud holder of the new Reject Cup Trophy that I believe is in the shape of a toilet bowl.

Our you serious? God I would want to win that trophy!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to think, that trophy belongs to Magically Hungry.

Dont you get money for winning earlier rounds too? Or did I read that wrong....

You read it wrong. That's the total amount for making it to each level you don't add them up. You did win money for winning rd one but the total amount for winning rounds 1 and 2 is $500 and the total amount for winning the reject cup is $1,000
