Premier Match-up
Anzheholics Anonymous vs. Slappyville Freezers
Slappyville wins 11-2!
MVP: The dynamic duo of Backstrom and Backstrom keeps rolling.
LVP: Brian Campbell had a knee injury and a bunch of zeroes this week.
This was a match-up between the leading teams in each division, and the Freezers slapped the hell out of the Anzeholics.
Wiki-Sharks vs. spades lil bandito's
spade wins 8-6!
MVP: Ty Conklin? TY CONKLIN?
LVP: Tomas Kopecky had one goal and was a minus seven, which doesn't make for a very strong good-vs.-suck ratio.
Ty Conklin is a greater threat to humanity than drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Sleek and Destroy vs. Fournick Gators
Gators win 7-6!
MVP: Brandon Dubinsky had FIVE GOALS this week.
LVP: James van Riemsdyk? More like James van Crappy!
Earl couldn't get the win even with a great week from Loui Eriksson, who put up four goals and three assists.
Teal Blades vs. BROWS
Teal Blades wins 11-3!
MVP: Niittymaki is a kick-ass goalie.
LVP: Oh god, that's ugly. The goalies on BROWS are Ryan Miller (IR), Craig Anderson (IR), and Rick DiPietro (Not IR, but awful).
Shark fans shouldn't fight each other. The enemies are out there!
Kitten Mittens vs. Quid Pro Clowe
Kitten Mittens wins 8-5!
MVP: This was a really close match-up, but the Mittens won the week on the strength of strong goaltending from Cory Schneider and Nikolai Khabibulin.
LVP: It would have been better to just leave Jonas Gustavsson on the bench this week, in retrospect.
Quid Pro Clowe has Alex Tanguay and Jarome Iginla from Calgary. Good luck!
IAmJoe(Pavelski) vs. 2 Live Drew
2 Live Drew wins 7-6!
MVP: 2 Live Drew has Jonas Hiller, Miikka Kiprusoff, and Sergei Bobrovsky. Only the third one matters.
LVP: Shea Webber contributed zero points and a minus three this week.
IAmJoe STILL has Vlasic, who is STILL the only Sharks regular without a point this season. Come on, Pickles!
MEEEEEEAAAAAT vs. Setoguchi's revenge
MEEEEEEEEAAAAT wins 7-6!
MVP: Roberto Luongo and Henrik Lundqvist both had strong weeks.
LVP: I don't know if there is a player worth having on the entire Florida Panthers roster, but Tomas Vokoun certainly doesn't seem to be one.
This is an embarrassing loss for Setoguchi's revenge, because Rudy didn't set up his team this week and he still managed to win.
McSorley's Stick vs. Intaglio
Intaglio wins 8-3!
MVP: Alex Ovechkin is the man.
LVP: Blake Comeau, you aren't helping your team.
Intaglio's got some injury problems, with both Dion Phaneuf and Marian Gaborik on the IR.

Speaking of unexpectedly strong goaltending, this past week in my Mirtle league I had to go up against the powerhouse known as Mathieu Garon. Sweet lord — I was very fortunate to pull everything to a 7-7 tie, but man — guys always seem to have career weeks when I’m their opponent.

i needed a 2nd goalie who wouldnt brinig price down (like you chris mason) and wouldnt start that much but was playing backup on a decent team…15 career shutouts..and was always dependable as a pens backup and great for outdoor winter games….so i went with Ty
it feels good to be this good

To be very honest, I’m not even sure what team Conklin plays for right now. I’m about 90% sure it’s not Anaheim.

usually the answer is “one of the teams int he winter classic” ..but not this year..its the blues..he shouldnt see too much time with halak in there and im fine with that…just pop in at the last minute witha shutout and deliver me wins..and its all good

Haha the things you guys say are just gold. Put a bunch of immature men together and you get BoC :)
Just awesomeness.

Oddly enough, Hiller and Kipper had some great games this week — I just didn’t want to start them. Heh.
I’m going to get my butt kicked this week, though. My players have fewer games than usual and Slappyville has a lot. It’d take a miracle.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
I was really glad I decided not to start him last night, though. Kept my GAA and SV% intact.

Yeah, I had both my goalies on the bench yesterday — another win would have been useless for me but another loss would have cost me a category.
Then, of course, neither guy played, but whatever — Sundays especially with goalies you should play carefully.

Yeah, but I had tons. Koivu, Heatley, and others were all game-winners this week. Feast or famine in that category. :)

Yay me!!! I think I’ve had three good weeks in a row now – if only I could say the same about the Sharks.

Congrats to Slappyville
(who’s team is that again?)
To be fair, I only activated Brian Campbell yesterday from the IR, and kicked Kyle Quincy to the curb in order to mkae room. Quincy had a truckload of more zeros than Campbell has…
These updates are awesome, Meg. Kind of like Wayne Simmonds in a mullet.
Taylor Morgan: "My abortion was botched!"
Teemu Selanne: "Wow. That sounds awesome."
The picture is all Fournick Gators. I’ve got Seabrook, Sharp, and Dubinsky.
And, nice try Earl, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Haha, I can’t believe I won the goals category after a 5-goal Monday from the Gators.
I’m happy enough in the 8th seed — wish the Ducks were here, too. :)

Oh god, that’s ugly. The goalies on BROWS are Ryan Miller (IR), Craig Anderson (IR), and Rick DiPietro (Not IR, but awful).
Yeah, at this point, it’s only minor leaguers and backups left. Might as well stick Miller on IR and wait it out. Just wait until DiPietro gets on IR too!

Enjoy the weekly, any chance you could put the standings on the post? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d like to see it.
