You beat me to it.

The lads are getting the job done.

 

[ondeadline]

And at the same time that your blue shirts are surging.

 

[hockeybeat]

And at the same time that your blue shirts are surging.

Yup.

My plan was just to have as much quality depth as possible. Last year, if someone got hurt, I was pretty much done for. This season, Shea Webber misses close to a month with a knee injury and it wasn't a killer.

 

[hockeybeat]

My seven-day reign of terror came to an inglorious end, due to an 11-3 thrashing at the hands of Not Poodle!!!

Here are your up-to-the-split-second standings:

I return to first despite stupidly losing a Brodeur shutout on my bench.

This week, it's a battle of the top two teams on the schedule.

This week, it's a battle of the top two teams on the schedule.

And I presume both teams have an eye on the team currently residing in third, which will take a week's worth of frustration and angst out on The Crosby Show.

 

[93Devil]

The Not Poodles had a nice week.

Hopefully I can climb into the top half og the standings.

 

[MTM]

The Hammers will rise again, despite stupidly dropping Bryzgalov thinking he was headed to the minors instead of to four consecutive victories.

 

[ondeadline]

I'd listen to offers for the aforementioned Mr. Bryzgalov, but I'm tempted to keep him at this point.

Armchair_QB's Charlestown Chiefs kick my Stormin' Canes around the ice 10-4-5 to take over first place, so here are the standings through nine weeks:

12. Laying Pipe 46-92-33 .365 125 0-18-1 9 1

I just need the Chiefs and HB's Agitating Avery's to have one of those 8-8 games this week so I can retake first place. :)

 

[93Devil]

0-18-1

Laying Pipe, Lord.

 

[hockeybeat]

Consecutive losses.

The Averys need to get back to winning.

 

[ondeadline]

The Chiefs add to their lead and the Crosby Show continues to move up after being around the middle of the league a few weeks ago and now are tied with my Stormin' Canes for second. The Hammers also coming on after a big week and are only three points out of second:

1. Charlestown Chiefs 129-80-38 .599 296 9-7-3 12 12
2. TheCrosbyShow 122-87-38 .571 282 9-4-6 6 16
3. Stormin' Canes 122-87-38 .571 282 9-8-2 11 13
4. Hammers 120-88-39 .565 279 12-2-5 2 16
5. Not Poodle!!! 103-97-47 .512 253 9-8-2 5 6
6. Agitating Avery's 106-105-36 .502 248 2-12-5 4 3

8. Ice Capades 96-105-46 .482 238 4-9-6 9 7

12. Laying Pipe 68-134-45 .366 181 7-9-3 8 1

 

[hockeybeat]

Six weeks without a win.

Averys have to take that out on someone. Soon.

 

[ondeadline]

I have a decent shot at tying the three-season league record with an 18-0 victory and could break the record.

My Stormin' Canes lead by that score over the Cape Fear Flyers with Brodeur's shutout tonight. I figure to be safe in the goalie categories (and will bench my goalies for the rest of the week) and only the 3-1 PPG lead seems to be in danger (but you never know.)

Now if I could just get a short-handed goal, I could get the elusive perfect week.

In Week 9 earlier this season, the Ice Capades tied the league record with an 18-0 win over Laying Pipe. The only other 18-0 win in the three-year history of this SportsJournalists.com league was recorded in 2005-06 season by Zamboni Roadkill over TheCrosbyShow in Week 14.

The biggest win in the 2004-05 season was a 16-0 win by Melrose's Place Week 16 over Stevie Y's Swan Song.

 

[Hank_Scorpio]

Let's Go Cape Fear Flyers, Let's Go!

Sorry, OD, since I am the only one to have 18-0 wins (I'm Ice Capades and I was Zamboni Roadkill), I need to keep that record intact. :D

Coincidentally, I was also on the losing end of that 16-0 matchup.

 

[ondeadline]

Hopefully my guys will be on a lot of penalty kills. :)

 

[Cape_Fear]

This week is simply an aberration since 3/4 of my team hadn't played until tonight. We are putting no more stock in this week than Hillary is in Iowa.

Besides, Philly has the Leafs tomorrow night. Let the comeback begin.

 

[ondeadline]

The Flyers against the Laughs could produce lots of stats.
