Maybe. And then Boo can pick up Huet after you drop him, unless you want to carry around an extra goalie for the rest of the season.

With Joseph streaking bad/good, I think it's good for the insurance.

[notyoueither]

My money would be on your releasing one of those guys before 7 days are up.

You're giving up 3 or 4 skating games in this next game week by packing the extra weight. I shouldn't discourage you. Extra points for Jon aren't going to hurt me.

I think in a normal season you'd have to have 3 goalies and even then forfeits would be more common in a larger league. This year is compacted by the Olympics, so you can get away with a 1-2 based on a single team since your team is going to play 3 in >90% of the game weeks.

Is that the latest? I wasn't sure it updated yet -- the "last week" column still shows it being for last sunday's final numbers.

[joncha]

Yeah, that part won't get updated until midnight Pacific. The standings are up to date though.

[joncha]

Incidentally, BK and Emp Fab have now been mathematically eliminated from the play-offs.

[notyoueither]

Everyone's in the playoffs, it's just a question of which one.

[joncha]

Ah... in that case, they have both just qualified for the special play-offs.

Hmm. Huet gets his 2nd straight shutout. Looks like Montreal has a new starter.

Boo -- you lost goalie stats this week 'cause you didn't get enough games in.

I sent you a trade request.

I'm not to sure about tradeing Kariya. How about... Langkow ?

(If I don't post till, torrmarrow, don't be surpized. Stupid internet recently started to slow to a clraw in the afternoons for some reason... )

I've got too many Flames as it is.

What? I thought you wanted as many Flames as possblie?

[Asher]

I like to spread out my players, in the case that one team's offense is slumping.

Luckily the Flames' slump in offense doesn't hurt me too much right now -- Iginla and Phaneuf are the only ones scoring with regularity.

Langkow hasn't been doing so hot recently.

You could use a goalie that will win you some categories. Huet has been on fire recently. Compare the Last Week / Last Month ranks between Kariya and Huet.
