OK good, I was going to be worried about you otherwise.
Oh and Alistar... I still can't get over Kesler at 2. On my little hand-written list I had 2 exclamation points and a plus sign next to Kesler's name. Thought for sure he'd be there for my 1st pick. Nope!

yeah well I might not have taken him if I remembered he was hurt. My preperation for the draft was good at all points except for noting who was healthy LTIR Superstars indeed.
Basically I had Stamkos as #1 and Kesler / Ovechkin neck and neck for #2 with Kesler getting the slight edge due to faceoffs and the potential for short handed goals. In retrospect picking a guy because he might score a couple of SHG's sometime in the year seems kind of ridiculous, and if I did it over again I would have picked Ovechkin, but I figured that I had went to all the trouble of spreadsheeting it up so why not follow through on my predictions.
The other thing is that pretty much all of my forwards are 50-60 point guys who will put up decent hits, PIM's, and faceoff totals while playing on the SH and PP. It probably would have been smart to pick a couple pure offensive guys in the later rounds to use when I have an overwhelming advantage in the matchup against the opposition in those other areas. Hindsite is 20/20.
MODO set your bench mang! I'm not complaining winning every category but its only the first week lol.
Hey I was gone all weekend, but I did set my roster! Seems like that wasn't quite good enough, though, as I'm quite clearly getting curbstomped here, lol.
Oh well, got another week to chip away at that lead!

Note to self, always be aware of early starts. It makes you look a tit when you forget and you have Brodeur starting and Varlamov benched, especially when G categories are currently costing you.
matt read... someone here's reading some box scores in real-time...
I got a feeling, what can I say. Read had a good preseason and I've heard a lot of positives about him. A gamble of course but it's one I'm willing to take. If you want Kennedy by all means take him.
Read is a good pickup, McKenzie picked him for Calder darkhorse.
Man I really thought Zidlicky would be a steal for me, he's Minny's #1 PP player and their PP was dynamite last year. But he's really sucking, probably cuz Minny's been sucking. Pitkanen's showing signs of repeating his 09-10 season though, glad I took a waiver on him.

Dude, you have 4 goalies. What's going on over there.

My starting 2 this season were Roloson and Halak... both of whom are being sat for backups atm. I need some insurance until they settle down lol. Losing goalie stats every week isn't cool.
LTIR Superstars indeed.
