Ray77

I'm reading the list of all names submitted, and I have to admit, some of them have me laughing. However, I was very surprised to see that Big Cocks was not even suggested?! I thought that was a name that had a lot of support, especially from the GOBC. Makes you wonder...

My numbers match.

Lazy - check! Disappears in the playoffs - check!

As I said when it happened...terrible signing by the Wild.

Updated after the Saturday Ranger vs. Capitals game: 51 - UND-RedSox fan 45 - Ray77 42 - fight on sioux 40 - The Sicatoka 40 - jimdahl 38 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 35 - MafiaMan

As of Saturday morning, March 2nd (please review): 49 - UND-RedSox fan 44 - Ray77 42 - fight on sioux 38 - The Sicatoka 38 - jimdahl 36 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 33 - MafiaMan

Adrian Peterson's agent needs a lobotomy. Adrian Peterson's agent wants 'commitment' from Vikings

I have 36 points (instead of 34) for andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Not sure if yours or mine is correct - I'll have to go through each player to double-check. Correct on UND-RedSox fan. I need Toews and Keith to score on Dubnyk, and I also need my 3 TB players to light up Price and make sure that they move on to round 3!

Really? Did you happen to see what Pattyn wrote to the fans after his Sioux career was over? Last I checked, he was part of that team, and didn't sound "fine" with the decision to move on.

Nope...I'm not kidding. However, I don't have "inside sources" and I'm not saying this is a lock or 95%, or anything like that. I'm not a GOBC member. Just saying what I'm hearing.

Oilers #1 Buffalo #2

I've heard the same.

My numbers match. UND-RedSox fan - 4 forwards, 2 defenseman and a goalie remaining Ray77 - 5 forwards, 3 defenseman and no goalie remaining (could lose 3 players Wed. night in Stamkos, Johnson and Hedman) fight on sioux - 4 forwards, 2 defenseman and a goalie remaining jimdahl - 5 forwards, 1 defenseman and a goalie remaining (could lose Stamkos Wed. night) The Sicatoka - 5 forwards, 2 defenseman and a goalie remaining (could lose Stamkos Wed. night) andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! - 4 forwards, 2 defenseman and a goalie remaining MafiaMan - 4 forwards, 2 defenseman and no goalie remaining (could lose Stamkos Wed. night)

Here are my updated standings - please double check your scores: 40 - UND-RedSox fan 36 - fight on sioux 35 - Ray77 34 - jimdahl 33 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 33 - The Sicatoka 30 - MafiaMan Observations: - It will hurt UND-RedSox fan to lose Shattenkirk. He's the only one who had Shattenkirk and he's leading our game with 9 points (0g, 8a, 1 penalty). - As jimdahl said, so far Ray77 is the only one to lose his goalie in Round 1, however MafiaMan has his chance tonight. It will be imperative for MM to get rid of Halak tonight or his team could be in trouble. All others are certain to have a goalie in round 2. - Ray77 leads the pool with only losing 1 position player so far. All others have lost 3 or more (nobody else has lost just 2). Ray77 could lose still lose Tavares, Stamkos, Johnson and Hedman in round 1. If Tampa loses, Ray77's team is hurting. - jimdahl is the only team who has only 1 defenseman remaining. This could be significant because defensemen have the opportunity to earn "extra" points with penalties. Unfortunately for those of you who have Subban, our D don't get 1 point per penalty minute! This is going to be an interesting finish to the first round, and I think based on our teams this will be a close race to the end!

I've lost Byfuglien and Fleury. Glad to have lost Fleury, but would like to have Byfuglien in round 2!

Mine looks very close, however I show that I have 29 as well: 29 - UND-RedSox fan 29 - jimdahl 29 - Ray77 25 - The Sicatoka 24 - fight on Sioux 24 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 22 - MafiaMan Could the discrepancy possibly be Victor Hedman's penalty or assist on the OT winner?

I thought the same thing - Anders Lee??!

I'd like to see a close game with the Flames ahead late in the game and watch the Canucks come unhinged.

I'm with you on that!

Byfuglien is the first to be eliminated from the game. He ended up with only 3 points (0g, 1a, 2 penalties). 5 of the 7 teams are now down 1 player: Ray77 jimdahl andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! fight on sioux MafiaMan

Oh, how accurate this was! 0 pts between Oshie, Backes and Pietrangelo before last night, and last night they scored 4 points. Add Tarasenko and Shattenkirk to the mix, and the Blues players in our playoff pool came up with 9 points last night.

This is what I have as well.

I like how they call it "conduct detrimental to the league". Gotta protect the shield. How about "conduct detrimental to Hardy's girlfriend"?

I found it. And again, you are correct. Yes, that is what I have for Backstrom (6), Hudler (2) and Price (-6). It wasn't an error with the points for the players that I had, it was an error in my spreadsheet (I had the wrong cell). So through all of this, jimdahl moves from 22 points to 26 points. Geez, you'd think the owner/creator of this board would get a little respect around here! 27 - The Sicatoka 27 - UND-RedSox fan 26 - jimdahl 24 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 23 - Ray77 21 - MafiaMan 20 - fight on Sioux

Quick observations: 1. Ray77 had some issues in his standings (nice work, dummy!) - thanks for catching this Sicatoka! 2. fight on sioux took Justin Falk from Minnesota, the problem here is that Justin Falk plays for Columbus. Nice guys we are that we didn't correct this before the game started so fight on sioux could pick a new player! For the record, I just caught on to this right now when taking a deeper look into my spreadsheet and standings. 3. There were 5 players from the Blues taken (Tarasenko, Oshie, Backes, Shattenkirk and Pietrangelo). Tarasenko (3g, 1a) and Shattenkirk (0g, 4a, 0 penalties) are the only Blues with points. Oshie, Backes and Pietrangelo have all been blanked. Now that I say this, they will go off tonight against Minnesota! 4. The Blues players mentioned in #3 are the only players to have 0 points (along with Falk). Everyone else has at least 1 point. 5. jimdahl's own, Nicklas Backstrom, leads the playoffs with 6 points. 6. We had 2 entries that took Ryan Getzlaf, and nobody took Corey Perry. Notable because Perry is tied for 2nd in playoff scoring with 5 points, Getzlaf is right behind him with 4. 7. Byfuglien and Subban are tied for the most penalties (2). I would have thought someone would have had more by now, although, it is the playoffs - you have to stay out of the box! Also, one of Subban's was his 10 minute game misconduct, and you could argue that Byfuglien should have gotten the same!
