I feel bad for Ollie Jokinen. He finally gets traded out of the hockey version of purgatory that is Florida, but he ends up in the western conference version of the exact same place in Phoenix.
I've always had a soft spot for Ollie Jokinen. It's probably a move very slightly up and I'm glad he's on the Jets I mean Coyotes, but he really could have better helped someone else.

Did you just wake up from 1995?
At the least the dude is being paid well, especially if he has to put up with (and I'm sure he will) more games like tonight from his teammates.

Look fucker, do you know what it's like to grow up cheering for a team that only won like two playoff series in it's entire existence? A team that likely has more fans in another country than the state in which it plays?
At some point I'm sure they'll be good and get a bunch of bandwagon fans and actually get shown on TV, but in the meantime I'll keep my focus on a team in some third tier league and dream. I dream of a day when the team of my youth hoists Lord Stanley's Cup in a city we have both abandoned. One day...

Speaking of which, I really hope Hamilton gets a team at some point. It would be a cheaper alternative to the Toronto Sucky Leafs, and a team I could cheer for without hating myself.

Woah, calm down. I was just making a joke on that it's been long enough to not make the Jets, er I mean Coyotes joke. So if I struck a nerve, sorry.

This article seems to suggest a 2nd Toronto team is more likely.
So it looks like Hossa has been an awesome fit with the Wings.
Yay.

Kyle Okposo got his first NHL goal tonite and took 7 shots in the NYI loss. If he plays like that for the rest of the season I might not be too pissed for picking him up. And I also have Doug Weight on the Islanders. Hurrah! for having two players on the team with 4 points so far this season.
[strike]Sami Salo[/strike] Rick Rypien may be the most injury prone Canuck ever.
Seriously, I have no idea what this guy does, but his career is going to be over before it really gets started at this rate.
Also, there seems to be lots of speculation about Gaborik moving. He's great, but I'm not sure the Wild would get anywhere near value for him if they trade him, what with him being fragile and the Hossa deal to Pittsburgh last year showing that trading a bunch of top prospects for someone who hasnt or wont sign a long term deal not working out so well.
I dropped Kessel for Budaj today. I need to talk to my league creator because I am fucking stuck with Huet. He is listed as a no-drop player. That does not sit well with me.
edit: I love that Huet is one of my "you can't drop him" players. *sigh*
edit: Commish fixed it. I dropped Huet for Kunitz for tomorrow.

How is Arnott and Vlasic for Semin not a good deal to take?
I am talking with people in my league and they are like "Well, good wingers are more valuable than good centers since there are a lot more good centers out there" and "He could easily pick up a 2nd tier center on FA". Really? This guy is 0-3 in three weeks and is currently losing to me 6-2 or so and I don't see that changing. His centers are Langkow (not so hot right now), Gomez (doing well), and Franzen (IR for a month). He has Bertuzzi and Nash behind Semin at LW. His D consists of Wideman, Coburn, Spacek, and Robidas.
I would be giving him his 2nd best (or potentially top) Center and his 2nd/3rd tier Dman.
How does no one want to trade me for McDonald, Jokinen, Getzlaf, Arnott, or Tkachuk?
so tonight's caps-predators game is not being broadcast, this upsets me. at first i thought i was being screwed for being too close to baltimore, but apparently it isn't on in DC either. I wish I knew were to direct my rage so that I could express it from my recliner, of rage.

Oh hey look, the Leafs have the 2nd lowest Goals For in the entire Eastern Conference. We can't even win at that.

Hmm. Who to dress for tonight. I am doing fine in assists (like 11-3 fine). Goals I am down 8-3 or so. I have Tkachuk or Arnott as my top goal scoring centers that are playing tonight. Tkachuk vs Carolina or Arnott vs Edmonton. Carolina in the last 4 games: 2-2, Edmonton in the last 4 games: 0-4.
Anyone know anything I don't? I am leaning towards Tkachuk just because I haven't played him in awhile. Also, the guy I am playing had Selanne last night, so yea, that fucked me in goals.
I'm happy I didn't dress Vokoun tonight. Grrrr. I am now tied against my opponent because he has Price. This is going to be an interesting week. I will be pissed if I lose to this guy. He is the worst in the league, and this is the last week of playing against other conference teams. I NEED THIS WIN!
I have 4 ducks players for tomorrow (kunitz, getzlaf, beauchemin, and giguere). I am going to drop budaj to probably pick up versteeg. Hopefully all these guys light it up tomorrow.
Is it bad that I'm excited Sid is injured so that the Pens can start their best center on their first line instead of their second?
Also this will be my third straight year of picking Malkin up in the draft. Yea, bitches, that's right. I drafted him in my league during his rookie year. Also did it his sophomore year, and his third year. It's getting to be a higher and higher pick every year he plays.
Good night for me; Flames won and I dressed Kipper over Thomas All I need now is for Bertuzzi to start scoring again, I traded Koivu for him early in the season and I am very much on that short end of that trade at the moment.
I have officially fell in love with ESPN fantasy hockey. I don't know if I mentioned it in here or not, but I will say it again. ESPN fantasy hockey >>>>> Yahoo fantasy hockey.
He was for his first four weeks or so last year also IIRC. I know someone on my league picked him up last year and he immediately stopped being good and started doing nothing.
Edit: That was directed at the Kyle Wellwood comment.
Lets go Ducks! Getzlaf, Kunitz, Beauchemin need to get me points (mainly goals...I am down 8-4 in that category). As long as Selanne gets no points. And Giguere, get a friggin shutout. Thank you.
edit: Annnnd friggin Selanne gets a ppa. Good for Giguere I guess.
edit: God damn it, Selanne a ppg. AND Vancouver scored. Can I be hit in the balls any more?
edit: Ok. Can someone chime in here? This is what my team is and I want to trade for Parise because I score no goals. My team = Adam Oates.

I assume the only person worthy of trading for is Getzlaf. If so, that makes me sad.
edit: Oh, nice job Ducks. I guess I learned my lesson of having 4 players from one team. And as I typed this Vancouver scored. *sigh*
edit: Holy shit. This game is friggin nuts. Tie game. Three Ducks goals (fucking selanne) in like 1:30 or so.
What is going on in the Van/Ana game? First team to 10 wins I guess. Also, the video quality on Sportsnet's coverage is horrible. It looks like the game is being broadcast live from 1983.

Jean know that any mention of our former teams must be met with rage and melodrama. It's the rules. :P
In other news, Ottawa somehow knocked off the Sabres last night. Didn't see that one coming.
