Ok nevermind. I found the team. And Raza, your next. Evalutation of NO MAAM: Mike Madano will be your frontlining star. I see him doing better than last year and snagging you at least 30 goals and probably close to 100 pts. Probably just shy of 100. Patrick Elias will be a nice addition but he'll be off and on as he's playing on NJ. Not to bash NJ at all, but they are the most defensive minded team so I doubt you'll get higher than he had last season in points. Alex Tanguay might be someone you want to think about letting go. With the recent addition of Selane and Kariya, Tanguay will probably be regulated to the third or fourth line. He's kinda touchy because he could also end up with Selane and Kariya. Wait until you find out where he's playing. If he's not on third or fourth line, then keep him. If he's with Kariya and Selane, never let him go. Darcy Tucker is a checker that can score. I expect him to dish out the pain more than the output in points. You probably should pick up someone else in exchange for him as there is talent out there that can put up more points then him. Teemu I'm not even touching. Unless something goes terribly wrong, you'll have a good 70-80 points off of him as he's with Kariya and Colorado. Slava Kozlov had 70 points last season and I can see him at least above 50 pts again considering he'll most likely be paired up with Ilya and Heatly. As he's a quality center whom the two stars can play off of. At minimum, you'll get a good 50, but I could see close to 75 pts here. His -10 in +/- is a negative though, but should factor in too much. Jason Blake is a decent player but I believe that there are free agents available (or soon to be) that are probably a little bit better than him. Try looking for a deal to get someone stronger here. John LeClair is an iffy. When he's healthy, he's a fine addition. But he's had injury plagued seasons and it's really going to be a matter of if you think he's worth the risk of getting injuried along the way. Derian Hatcher is your leading blueliner. Very solid points wise, and having a +/-, he's a great addition to have. Really strong choice here. He should improve on his 30 pts that he had from last season. Sandis Ozolinch will get you points as he's very offensive minded, however he isn't too +/- friendly. However, when he's on the powerplay, he sucks up some good points, so keep him about. Also he's gotten defensive minded lately, so he shouldn't be too bad. 40 pts again from him is possible. Adam Foote while being offensively minded and +/- great, he's deceptively PP unproductive. With only 7 points last season, and highly doubtful to get any points this season, you'll need someone to pick up the slack for him. You'll get 30 points here. Karl Rachnuck is pretty solid. Good point getter, decent +/-, and gets quite a lot of PP. His 30 points are suprisingly in only 58 games, if he's got more on him, I look for him getting up there to maybe 40 and a couple more PP added in there. Henrik Sedin isn't too bad, but here I would stress picking up someone else for utility. That doesn't mean you can't keep him, but I consider the Utility spot reserved for PP specialist, +/- God, or whatever else you aren't needing. Eddy was a smart choice as he'll back stop the Leafs to another 30 game wins. His goals against average is great and his save % is/was Vezina material last season. Expect a repeat preformance from last season. Roman Turek is a solid choice for a secondary goalie. I see him helping you with goals against average and save %. His problem is that he does play for a team that had problems finding itself last season (that includes him) and has his off nights and on nights. He'll probably be a .500 in wins/losses/ties, and so he will get some points there. Brent Johnson should rebound from his injury season last year. From what he did play though, he played well enough to be a decent goalie, but wasn't like the Johnson that took a former Blues's goalie job. I expect him to recoup from last season and maybe get you about 25-30 wins, a save precentage near .900, and goals against average around 2.40. Team Overview: Positives - Lots of potential, great goaltending. Solid +/-. And also very assist happy. You have trade bait with both Johnson and Turek to get some good returns. Lows - Not very much goal production, GWG, and PP production isn't as great as some teams in the league. It's a key issue with you and could become a factor in winning some games or losing some. Overall - Very solid team that has a some key issues to address. Will be a qualified contender to having a good chance at winning this pool. (Raza's up next)

Most of them are actually listed on the first page. I just happened to check. Crimson Storm for myself. Raza and MrRant's teams shall have their reports in a few moments. Half way done with MrRant's team.

Let me give a go. Just need to know the team (we should get a listing of who is who in the league). Choko Says: Dory goody atty hockey smarty~! Canny helpy yous outty~!

^ says < is ignorant of truth. But < is full of truth. For the most part. Also says < fixed confusion. Choko says: Dory fixy probby~! YAH DORY~!

^ trying to figure out who's in <'s sig and avatar. Kittigal is Felicia from the video game, Darkstalkers, made by Capcom. But < just likes animish kittigals, and she's there because she's the most prominant one (at least in video games, in anime < not sure who). The person in <'s sig is a fan made pic of Choko's true self, Akura. Choko (or Akura, whichever) comes from the game, Arc The Lad: The Collection (which is just Arc The Lad, Arc The Lad 2, Arc The Lad 3 slapped together into a Collection set). ...why is her true self, Akura? BAH! Buy the game and find out... As it'll take a LONG time to explain everything.

Ok... I forgot Ilya was out last season late so ya. 90 pts there. Morrow's alright, but I'm kinda hesistant on him... Oh well. I'll see what I can do with him. Daniel... I wasn't sure on him, but ya. Your right on that. Comrie is the one I'm wishing I had taken back. If he misses sometime, I'm screwed. Although, he's apparently skating with Michigan U, so he might not be as rusty. Hopefully he'll be signed heading into the season. If not, I make some slight roster changes. Hm.. I forgot that Rucchin won't have Kariya (then again, I didn't have him on my predraft) so that would cause some effects. Yah, I wasn't meaning to draft those three, but my pre-draft didn't draft some of the guys I wanted because they were taken, so I'm banking a lot on them...

Hm... I don't really see anyone on my team that packs the heat (besides Heatly). Can someone point out whom I'm not seeing that could do some damage?

HAPPY B-DAY MAN~! Choko says: Happy B-Day, Franny!

^ ruined someone else's birthday other than <.

Marty isn't. Put him with someone other than Dallas Stars and if he plays exceptionally good then I'd say he's worth HALF that. Whatever... Edmonton's going to beat the living hell out of Dallas in the first round when we win the President's Trophy, so I don't care what they do. *knows that just a dream*

Wow... It didn't do half bad. And OH! Look, some free goodies on the market. *Glomps'em up* There. That should help. Eck... Felix Potvin? WTF? Man, I know he's probably starting in Boston, but geezus... I'm not sure about him... Then again, I'm not sure about where everyone else is going to be. Oh well. At least this group I have is a lot better than my fantasy football team.

Well, I'm hoping my auto draft was did ok, because I couldn't be there. I just finally got home.

Even though I'm pissed it started the video cinema revolution, it was a RPG that was great. I think the problem with this is that it came after what IS the greatest FF though (FF 5 or 6 depending on who you speak [more that I've spoken to have leaned to 6, but favored FF5's job system], and for some very few even FF4 is touted as it), and I think everyone can admit that after 6, they DID start to decline. Just FF7 didn't decline as hard or bad as FF8 did. FF7 was a great game, no doubt. And it maybe does deserve to be on the list. But as #7? That's just an awful punny place for it to be. I'd say if it was on the list, it should be closer to just making it in. Not it being almost near the top 5.

^ LIKEY SIGGY~! WEEE~! ...whoops. Choko moment there. Hehehe...

Dear Diary, Today, I read this weird blog on our site. It's only weird because other people write on it too. It makes me laugh though at some of the silly stuff said there. So I decided to be silly too, like I always am, and make a diary post too. Although what's weird is today I got rid of my Choko avatar and replaced it with a KITTIGAL~! avatar and I broke TSM's heart. But I'm hoping that my new Choko pic in my sig makes TSM feel better. As the cuteness is now more apparent. ~ Dor

^ no. < isn't an old man. < is a young man of finer qualities that likes anime. And kittigals. Really likes kittigals. Not as much as Choko though.

^ why so shocked? WHY IS EVERYONE SHOCKED? < needed to give a new avatar, < picked up a chance to get over.... Do not fear though, Choko will return... Yes she will.

It would be deviant of me not to use papacita's word too; but I will make a prodigious statement that my next word will be a good one. Use: ferine

Kay. That's creepy... I'd rather he not smile.

^ is confused. <'s plan is working.

I'll reserve my judgement on the game. I mean, sure it looks pretty good, but I mean, people remember: We said the same thing about SD last year.

Edit: Double post, because of memory err.

Oi... The "patch" should just be an .exe file (if it's the rest, don't care about it and just take the .exe file). All you do is slide new .exe file over the old one and all shall be good.

http://www.cybermoonstudios.com/KUPOINX-EP1.html Meh, I got a laugh out of it.

You probably need the EWR 4.2 fix. It'll fix up that problem. You've probably got someone on worker on commentary that is either injuried or suspended. that's what you get usually when that happens.
