Agreed.. We'll try and get a solid core of like 8.

I think we all agree to limit transactions to like 50. Maybe 40.

Did everyone like the league voting on trades? It took a lot of stress off of me that's for sure. I think it's pretty much self regulated.

And lastly.. The moves on the last two days of the season? I say you go into the weekend with what you have had all season. No moves the last three days of the season/finals? I actually won it at my work league with picking up Morris on last day and getting a SHP to win it which is ghey. But I only made moves after the other team add/dropped his whole team on saturday.

Ok. Don't pick one. Pick the Finals. Who do you like to make it to the Finals?

And that was really going out on a limb. Calling the best team since the '84 Oilers (and the 2008 Pens are perhaps the best team evar) to make it to the finals? How do you see such things?

Yeah, the Jackets played them well this year; but, that doesn't matter. My least favorite draw for the CBJ.

Biggest upset probability: San Jose folds in the 1st round to the Ducks.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I doubt it. If that happens, Boston trading Thorton will finally start making some sense.

So, that means you perpetually tell members on here of your man-love for Malkin each time you post in ANY thread. Whereas, I just post about Captain Serious in one place: here.
