I'll do my best to keep this away from a bad beat whine. Started grinding SnG's about 8 months ago, had about $150, managed my roll well, stuck to 100+ buyins of whatever level I was at and have not strayed away from it. Worked my way up to about $750 just prior to the SCOOP, played a bit of the SCOOP, and started this sick run I'm on there. Took a break for a few weeks. Tried again, and long story short, I've blown off EVERYTHING that I added to my roll in the last 200 SnG's or so, sitting at about $190 again. Nothing is working right now, feels like I've lost EVERY 60/40 and 75/25, espe

On account of my being related to him, I'm going with Nick Boynton, when the Cup comes to (almost) my hometown

Hahaha yeah, been watching this doozy for a little while now. Is #14 for the Habs Plekanec? Cause whoever it is, he is Mike Richards' bitch. The video does raise a discussion-worthy point though, one that isn't just "Eff the habs" banter. ARE the Habs futures looking as bleak as the video would suggest?

If I may refer you here I still remember watching this one, I was quite the youngin' then and it was way past my bedtime

As far as I can recall, Cory Cross only ever had one goal in a Leaf uniform, kinda depends when he decides to bust the one goal out

Now THIS is some hardcore pool action. Although your calculations fail to take into account the 11-point night that Toews will be having in game 1 I've never wanted to see a high-scoring, goalie-pulling series this bad before.

Kane won't ever be making any of my "well-liked lists", and that's just because of the cabbie-punching incident. Tough to pick the youngsters though because they've had less time to shape their images than guys like Francis/Yzerman, and how about Ray Bourque?

So I've been balls-deep in personal shit for like, the entire playoffs, and literally haven't followed ANY of my pools. Safe to say, I'm not.......completely unsatisfied with where I'm at going into the Finals here, considering how badly the 'Nucks disappointed me :DSafe to say, Giroux was absolutely the mother of all sleeper picks for me in the eighth round, and Toews has been nothing short of a juggernaut, and I really don't expect either to fade out. That said......20 between them in 6 or 7 games? Probably too tall an order.Plus Biatch and Wayne both have me worried I'm really sincerely

Brind'Amour is a solid choice, and I'd throw Linden and Lidstrom out there as well.And for a little controversy, Sundin?

Any chance your Conn Smythe prediction isn't Crosby at this juncture?

I'd say probably just tandems that play regularly together. Both being centres, Crosby/Malkin RARELY see time together, although that certainly isn't to say that isn't a potent combination as well.Edit: I might be forseeing a SJ Sharks argument coming up soon. I realize Thornton/Heatly/Marleau is a massive line, but I'm still convinced Joe Thornton is the worst player on his team past March.

I think Hank has a higher PPG Avg than Daniel, but it's a TINY margin. Daniel's goals/game is a fair bit higher though. He could've MAYBE hit 40 goals this year if he'd played 82.Here's a question for you all now. If you could take any pair in the league to form 2/3 of your top line, who do you take? (I'm going for just the top 2 because lets face it, if you're the third on these lines, you get 60 points by default) Sedin/Sedin, Ovie/Backstrom come to mind this season in light of all the milestones being hit. Are there any other tandem's even CLOSE? Stamkos/St. Louis? Bozak/Kessel?

I do think Cooke is a cheapshotting POS pest, but I'm gonna show him some love here. He got up, refused the stretcher and skated off on his own after getting KTFO fair and square. I very strongly doubt you'd see the other clowns like Avery or Kaleta take it like a man. Knew he'd just gotten what he had coming to him I think.

What an obscene goal. Why didn't the Leafs get the Sedins

Last pick just means that I get first crack at the role players while you chumps are still falling over eachother for superstars.Sunday, 8pm EST, MSN, $25 to sergetoronto on Stars? Looks solid.

I'm actually kind of surprised both these bets didn't go the other way. I PROBABLY would've given you a TON of action at 7:1 on the first one, and hell, I'd have been nervous about the second.Edit: I appear to have misinformed myself about who was getting 7:1 on the first one. Nevvvvvvvermind.

Hahaha, the Leafs can't be far off doing their own award show soon anyway, can they? Not like we've had a player eligible for any awards in the last decade Anyway, the only award where bias isn't a factor is Adams, cause Tippett is the slam-dunkiest slam-dunk I've ever seen for an award there. My bias stands as the following:Hart: Hank Sedin, I'm going to make the argument that he is a better puck-mover than Crosby. At least when his brother is on the ice.Pearson: Sedin again.Vezina: Very debateable. I'm going with Bryzgalov just as the underdog, but Miller is a wall and deserves no less

Sunday at 9? I'm still down. I can do MSN draft or wherever we decide to do it, just point me in the right direction.

I'm showing some love to Dustin Brown who rung up the trick on Robbie Lou of all people, since nobody else wants to

Oh absolutely. Hell man, 28 points in 3 months? Like I said, we could potentially be talking about him breaking 100. Obviously that's probably a bit of a stretch to assume he could maintain that pace for a full season though.

I'm aware that teams are allowed to dress goalies, so I named Halak by name because I feel that any other goalie would be getting shelled. Just heard that the 3rd period shots thus far are 11-2 Flyers.

I assume you mean they're falling apart in recent games? Cause they're KILLING the habs right now Halak is the only reason this game isn't 6-1.

Unfortunately it's Rookie of the Year, not Rookie of the Last Three Months After Your Team is Realistically Eliminated If Bozak played all year like he is playing now, I agree he'd be very squarely in the middle of the conversation for the Calder. I don't mind if he doesn't get it though, because we can once again say that we have a guy with some first-line potential without lying to ourselves. Hell, if he played all year like he has since January, we might be talking about him potentially breaking 100 points.

I didn't even know this thread existed, but reading it from my March 29h 2010 vantage point made me facepalm at LEAST half a dozen times

FANTASTIC.
