Buds Board Keepers League

SuperMario wroteCOLON2010-2011 BBKL Champions: Pittsburgh Penguins

you realize to win the league you need to make the playoffs first?

i mean, some injuries are all what it will take to kill your team..

:66

unless you can put together the right trades with me, that is

i personally would put a bet on Penguins flopping due to shitty goaltending. You will no more than a bubble team, and if you do make the playoffs ... your out first round.

ie: Flyers & Caps, both expected to make top 3 in the east last season .. they didnt make the cut, no offense fella's. Just making a point.

Zetterberg
Franzen
Neal
Wolski
Wheeler
Kunitz
Upshall
Torres

Ville Leino, 14 pts in 15 playoff games doesn't even make my starting roster.

that's real talk.

Semin, Ryan, St. Louis, Gagne, Downie, Moen, Laperriere

Although I still think I'm going to miss the playoffs this year. the East got WAY better and my team got worse.

I never said it was.. I was just wishing everyone who thinks they can hang good luck. Although barring injuries, I'm pretty confident in that team above!!

lol.. and if kareem/shiv/myself/steve/etc weren't confident in their respective rosters they wouldn't be posting either!

I'm not gonna lie, I think I'm in the best posisition, come deadline time I have (arguably) the best farm system among the contenders, I can easily acquire that piece to put me over the top without hurting my BBKL roster, how many of you (outside Nick) can say the same?

Absolutely.. it just sucks that like 4 teams have a shot at winning this season.. actually it's sad

Raptactics wroteCOLONI never said it was.. I was just wishing everyone who thinks they can hang good luck. Although barring injuries, I'm pretty confident in that team above!!

That's the key, we all saw what injuries did to myself and Nick, as well as Kyle in the beginning.

I can say that.. lol

I think my prospect depth is probably the most underrated in this league...

Is it? I would argue the same holds true in any sport...Definately in basketball (BOS, LA, CLE, ORL), Baseball (NYY, BOS, LAD, PHI), soccer (Real Madrid, Barcelona/Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Millan/Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United) and arguably even hockey (CHI, PIT, DET, SJS, PHI)...The only sport where I would argue there are multiple legit contenders is football.

The difference is which teams dominate in any given season, but even there we look good, myself and Nick are contenders this season, we didnt even make the playoff last season, conversely Pittsburgh barely made it in...I think this league offers more parity than some people think.

Perhaps, but underrated won't help you when you need to make a big deal, the big name prospects will.

I have one of the worst prospect depth. 1 or 2 injuries and I'm going to plummet.

This season is going to ride on Bryzgalov.

I disagree with hockey.. at the beginning of any season there are around 10-15 legit teams who could feasibly win.. especially with the salary cap!

This past year I would've said WSH, NJD, PHI, CAL (I picked them at the start of the year), PIT, DET, SJS, CHI, BOS.. I felt they all had consideration to begin the year.

LOL - actually, I don't need big names, I need 15 minutes. Also, I'm confident in the group I have and I don't think I'll need to add a piece at all.

This past year I would've said WSH, NJD, PHI, CGY (I picked them at the start of the year), PIT, DET, SJS, CHI, BOS.. I felt they all had consideration to begin the year.

So 9-10 teams? I would argue there are 9-10 teams with the same chance as the above, obviously with differing odds, not unlike the real NHL...

1. New Jersey
2. Pittsburgh
3. Phildelphia
4. Florida
5. Washington
6. Boston
7. Los Angeles
8. Hartford
9. St. Louis
10. Vancouver
11. Anaheim (arguably)
12. Calgary (arguably)

Like I said above, the dominance of certain teams is being HEAVILY overstated in this league, I much prefer the current format, over your typical H2H league in which any of the 30 teams can win it all, was never a fan of that, it's unrealistic, I am very happy with how this league has turned out personally.
