I just read all the chatter on the hockey pool forums, you (frank)ers need to lay off Vantel, he's doing the best he can with what he's got and he's not breaking any rules!!

If you don't like the process then change the process, don't piss on a guy who's playing within the rules. You may not like it, but it's not against the CURRENT rules.

Furthermore - I don't see why we can't change things mid-season? If blatant changes are needed then you make them, just like the AHL did when that goaltender pushed his net off during a breakaway, they changed the rules the NEXT DAY.

Yea I saw that argument, I was going to defend him but I have his 1st rounder so it would look bad
Edit: I completely agree with him though, those extra couple of bums that he would end up with instead of quality prospects = what like 4 shots, 2 hits, 1 point per week? It's stupid. Anyone saying that is why he is losing is obviously missing the point that his team is just not competitive. Meanwhile I have (frank)ing dropped to last place like a 2 ton weight

I just fail to see how Stephen Weiss makes you any more competitive
Edit: Sorry Marwood I will stop now

I think Canucks have the grace of two more consecutive losses before fans start to get angry with the players this time

Nucker picked him up off waivers and tried to trade him to me - that little (frank)er is as slimy as they come

I just don't get how it can be called tanking if you don't even have a 1st rounder

The thing that bothered me is it is based on a three day history. I have been competitive every week and will continue to be so . I had a blip in the schedule that did not match up well for me. I will be competitive again this week.


I also have a feeling D. Pouliot will be called up to the Pens this year. He is lighting it up in the AHL and I think Pens will trade a Dman for a forwardb

Take a look at his line up this week lol he will be lucky to get a point....I wasn't mad I just think it takes away from the paraody of the league with people giving up for 2 yrs from now. And Vancity would have beat me this week with less stats then you just posted, and what you posted is undervaluing man games. most players average 3 stat points or more a night. ( 1 shot, 1 hit, 1 block or sim) so when you lose up to 16 man games a week ( up to 4 games a week per player) that is a lot more then what you posted. Anyways I haven't even played his team yet so no worries on my end. 15 easy points

PS thanks to Vantel you will now get McDavid and Eichel !!!

Tell that to Nail Yakupov
Edit: only problem with the whole parity thing though is that things simply don't work like that in a keeper league and the only real way to ensure that each year is competitive is a redraft

You are female doging about parody? Here's your chance to prove it . I will trade you for one of your three starting goalies for a NA player . 30 starting jobs and you have three of them. I will even throw in one of my back ups

Time to put up or STFU .
