Its actually kind of crazy that both our lineups have had close to half the roster players change from last years finals and both teams managed to return:
8 out of 19 Buffalo players are new
10 out of 20 Anaheim players are new

love the spy vs spy pic

man, I bought Mad Magazine all the time when I was a teen


looking forward to a good matchup between Matt and Matthew

Thanks for the thread, had a good laugh at multiverse of mattness

Wtf is this multiverse nonsense anyway?

Marvel thing. Long story short they have created a world that recogognises parrelell universerses operating alongside one another, and interaction between them, which has allowed them do to some fun things like modern day movies incorporating storyline and characters from movies made decades ago etc. It's been fun.

oookaay, thx

Go Philly! Trounce the Laffs!

So no more goals helps my goalie stats, but gives Willy the GWG. Not sure what is better for me.

I'll give up the GWG for Philly to get 2 more goals

Pretty close after two days

What would bbkl look like in a world where evander kane wasn't a p.o.s.

Go Kraken

Goalie stats blown up and a gwg for you

Can't help but feel like the coffin is being sealed with each blow of the hammer

Wazoo gorgeous gourde

Wooo debrincat baby

Buffalo has the category leads but it's very close across the board...this'll be a 12 round fight no doubt.
