You think you are going to beat me...

I doubt it...

I am running good

Understatement of the Year Award goes to...

Who are you talking to?

I think he's talking to me and the asdfjkl;

...but we're in the FCHL

LMAO...anyone see Shanahan mocking the Ottawa players for riding the bike when they do a post-game interview? Funny stuff! Man, I love that guy.

shanahan's a beaut... I'm down by 2 already, sweet.

TKACHUK is heating up... he's been really streaky this season. Two straight with a goal now.

And how about your guy Stempniak? Beauty fight the other night... the guys on that team LOVE him...

Wow..You got a player on your team that scored in two straight games...WOW..your team is amazing

Son, eat my dust... how many AHL championships have you won? How many? How many????? I have 2. You suck, I'm awesome, end of story.

And how is your team doing THIS YEAR...end of story

That's the end of the story??? That's the end of the story?? Why you little clueless...

The AHL is all about winning championships, something you have never done and it is highly likely that your team could play for another 20 years and you never will. Unless you let your son take over your team, maybe he'll have a clue.

lol Serge your team is not that great....

and Saprykin is playing awesome for me, sweet.

wow SJ tending is getting murdered.

LMAO...Eric Daze would score if Serge dressed him. No talk of luck though, that's only when others win.

That's the game I want to watch, but for some reason it's not on Centre Ice.

I did - it was hilarious

Yeah sure its luck...5 in a row baby...I love this west coast hockey action..Its only 8 pm...i have the game clinched and we are gonna go play some poker at a poker room now...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and post the new standings before the games are finals.

1. Rug Rats - 62
2. Mustangs - 53
3. Ghosts - 46
4. Thieves - 42
5. Gothic - 41
