Zach6668 513 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Whalers 4.5 Other 5.5 Phantom Series 2-4 scored 5 goals, 5 assists on a 6 game night and still lost. 7 goals against didnt help, but man, this Other team is very good. Now you know how I felt with the FCHL... but that was a real series! Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 if it makes you feel better that other team (the evil ones) would have beat every other team in from 4 to 6 games as well It sincerely does. However, losing this year, as close as it was last round, was not really all that hard to get over. Its easier to swallow when you know for sure your team is just not good enough, and mine clearly was not. Last year was hard, because at the time I thought my team was as good as yours+Dales when we were fighting it out in the semis. This year, it was all about a prayer of getting lucky. I thought I might be able to fluke off a victory against you, if I even got past Shooters which I could not do. But even with your injuries, your team still clearly outperformed all of us as you show. Well done. Whalers done for 15-16. Its time for the annual team trip to Vegas. We're getting loaded, time to celebrate mediocrity. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 It's easy not to be disappointed when one team is twice as good as the rest of the league. However... Shortstackers are the only team to win a game over the Big M's in the 2016 playoffs! (Don't read any more into it, and don't worry about details.) Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 The franchise is very close to my LEAST favourite spot to be in.....not quite good enough to win it all, not bad enough to tear it all down and rebuild. I hate this point. I love it when the team is awful and I get to rebuild, I dont mind waiting that out. But not knowing if I can "fluke" off wins in the playoffs, and yet being too good to tear it all down, you get stuck in limbo. My goal is to go for it for one more year, but to have an eye on a rebuild, and therefore, looking more with an eye to 2019-2020 than this year. Only 2 picks in this draft (thats a real low for me, but again, cost of going for it in the past), and that needs to change for next year and beyond, although draft picks arent as important as they were in this league, unfortunately imo, this is less and less a keeper league and more+more a redraft style league going forward. Thats fine, we shall adjust and prosper! Looking forward to reading this post in 2019 and seeing how wrong (right?) I was. Link to post Share on other sites

bigguyren68 155 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 As requested Last year- Whalers were 3 games above .500, this year should be around 6 games above .500. My Prediction for this year Whalers vs Eddie Shack Conference teams, gp-30, 17 wins, 12 loses, 1 ot lose Whalers vs Tiger Williams Conference teams, gp-47, 23 wins, 22 loses, 2 ot loses Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 woohoo, we're getting better!!! 83pts/7 7gp...feels like another 6place in the conference, 10th overall pick kind of crappy place. Gross. lol Thanks bud! Link to post Share on other sites

(to make up for it, gonna sit stalwarts Plekanec+Granlund, and start my boy, Jonathan Marchessault. He's Auston Matthews, without the hype, and way more talented than AM34) Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 This is the year where I will really regret one of my past trades. I think two players I gave up in that deal could be 30gl,30a guys. I'm guessing one will be 27gl, 30a, the other will be 23gl, 30ass. 1000 FCP pretend dollars to the person who knows what the hell I'm talking about. At least one of you should know...

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Whalers own Zach Hyman leads the league in plus-minus. The wonderkid is a plus 4. His team lost 5-4. Imagine how amazing he must be! ps: last in the NHL is that midget Johnny Overpaid Hockey Link to post Share on other sites
