WEEK 1 MATCHUPS THREAD - MATCH OF THE WEEK?

[MSP4LYFE]

fuck my team choked. Three points on the final day with all the big boys playing? rough week wish i had it against a weak team. I told everyone I was worried about Bry's team and they laughed at me, now maybe his team will get some respect lol.

I definitely didn't laugh, bryan knows exactly what I think of his team, we had alot of conversations about it during the period in which he made the most changes, I just didnt think he would win without Sid and Jurcina...

[Mike]

Yeah was gonna say, wait for Sid to return.

nor did I, he had big weeks from his lesser players and my scorers shit the bed. I figured it would be our second matchup I'd have to worry about but the hockey gods had something different to say it appears. If I were lucky i would have been playing a shit team during a week like this but didnt work out that way. meh at least I didnt lose to tbl or anything.

[MSP4LYFE]

I was just gonna say...Be happy you don't have to face Nick without Zajac, and maybe BMO. The way his team is assembled right now, I am absolutely fucked.

[Scott]

It is definitely going to be one interesting year..

[bills09]

Bring it Kyle!

[Shep]

Yeah, it was a tight matchup..it wasn't looking good for me towards the middle of the matchup. Dupuis had a big week for me and like you said, your top guys didn't perform. Also your SHTOI was lacking with Marc Staal and Orpik out..also didn't help that the Rangers and Lundqvist couldn't put up a Win for you despite putting up decent goalie stats. Bottom line, it was basically a perfect storm for me and I lucked out. I'ts definitely going to be a much tougher match for me the next time we play. Looking forward to it though.. and hopefully we both have health squads!

Easy win for you.

[Arian The Insider]

i fucking hate my team

[armandtanzarian]

Ugh...Im going to pretend the season starts tomorrow. That was a nightmare. So many variables fucked me but basically my team sucked arse and Mikes was ridonkulous.

It is going to be a great year though. The talent is spread to many more teams now and the majority is trying to win vs 10-15 teams rebuilding. Its more realistic this season. I like it.

yep, i expected to lose shtoi and hits to shoalzie, but the EDM goalies played ridiculous this week.

slow starts from penner, kulemin,grabner, selanne didn't help either.

should end 9-5-2. ah well, onto next week.

Stop being so humble.

i fucking hate my team

nah i think i caught a lucky break in tying the GWG and leading the +/-... it's a rather close matchup not really like how the score reads.. and both of our teams just can't score! lol

[Tony]

Nice matchup Kyle (Mr. Ranger) ... bastard

[Nick]

Strong start here - don't panic Chris, I had some guys start very strong, including my tending.
