Chek has a really good team. Im shooting just to avoid the relegation series.

Good evening Trailblazer fans, wherever you may be.

You bet I'm totally stoked to have defeated a two time Cup champ and the #2 team in the country. I sat all but two starters, and was still able to come away with the win with my scrubs. Awesome for me, and totally sucks for you. Especially because of what it does to enthusiasm later in the season. Sorry, not sorry.

to quote the great Bill Schonley "you've got to make your free throws."

I don't know if it's any solace, but my entire team is built off of OD/ID and SB. So my PG has 9 ID and 9 SB. My SF has 11 ID and 9 SB, and my 20 year old C is 11 ID, 8 SB.

It probably has something to do with my pre-game approach. I let them watch Miracle and they got fired up by Herb Brooks' pre game speech:

"Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
You were born to be hockey players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"

sorry GM-Jason and best of luck the rest of the season.

I know this was a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

Ohhhh man, just rub it in!!! haha, Congrats on the win, good luck the rest of the way ;)

LOL

Those hands could use a manicure.

I hate bowing out the of cup this early...but it does take a load off knowing I can focus on all of my league games and put pressure on A-Dub to have little margin for error if he wants HCA in the Finals :-)

Well...it was great while it lasted. Unfortunately being first will end for me tomorrow.

6/19/2016 - Upsyndrome has just sold Bogomir Stanimirović for $ 5 400 000.

Oh come on...

I only received 4.9m, while currently sitting on 6.2m. But to my dismay, only now have I realized the predicament that's been created -- no home game, or NT merch income this week. I can kiss 1m goodbye and my potential 140 TSP target.


**What I wanted to say was: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

What McEwan? Just make the bid before the financial update and go in debt for a little bit

Yeah, McEwan. I hadn't thought about that. Even so, still a shit-y situation. I've been thinking about potentially TLing Isom and Bello in search for an upgrade at the PF position and some depth (33+ y/o's w/ 120+ TSP). This ship has just about sailed, a few makeshift patches will only take it so far. I'm ready to tank into the abyss.
