*shakes Sleepy's hand*

great game, good series.

...and now I'm FUCKED!!!!!

Player Gunnar Jollie (81) is out for 4 day(s) with a head injury.

Player Jon Iseli (88) will recover soon from a neck injury.

Player Andres Mangel (79) is out for 11 day(s) with a head injury.

Player Hugo Schoborg (82) is out for 10 day(s) with a back injury.

And let the medium/long practices begin!



Also, thank god I'm on vacation/unemployed so I can put plenty of thought into free agency possibilities/buyouts.

*prays they don't play Game 3*

Seattle on the clock, followed by Osaka, St. Louis, Capitals and New York. Good fishing men (just overlook my guy).

hopefully game three happens tomorrow so i can get an extra day to rest up my dudes and heal some fellers.  SSS v NHN for the cup.  Bring it Brain!!!

4th time in five years we've crossed paths in the postseason... this time for all the marbles

Enemies til the end?

When do expiring contracts leave for the free agent pool? Will they all be taken off my team before the free agency period starts? Seems like I remember having to dump guys with no money remaining to sign free agents in the past.

It's official. I hate having the first pick in a round.

it's easy dude... especially looking at this year's board.

with Sitto already in hand, there's only one guy you CAN take without being a total dink.

once the offseason starts, you SHOULD be able to dump guys with contracts that expire after Season 5 without it costing you anything. It should say " It will cost you $0 to pay off *player* and dump him off your roster, do you want to pay him off and dump him from your team"

Elsewhise, they'll walk at the start of the new season on their own.

I've got eight guys to re-sign before the end of Season 6... including Zigich(90), Jollie (81) and Muhlstein (G-76). It's gonna be pricey. Muhlstein's gonna want Sitto-money (about a $1.6M raise), and Jollie's gonna want another $mil.

Did you try dumping them yet?  I always forget the timeframe, but I know in the past there was a time when I could dump them and owe them $0.00 as opposed to the few thousand they make between now and the official end of their contracts.

This is the finals I was hoping to see, the two biggest fish in the pond.  Shame neither is at full health.  But that's the playoffs.

If I had my way, the opening round would be best of 3, the semis best of 5 and the finals best of 7.

DAMN YOU SPEEDY!  Capponi was my #1.I'd wish his stamina were higher, but that's a full-grown man.

I had Olcott 6th, would've deployed him as a checking winger/PKer. Nice get by Caps.

GREGOS throws a dart and hits the bullseye. I don't know what he's got his training/scouting up to, but that's a great pick. I didn't even have Engram on my board, mostly because I need another LH forward like I need a hole in the head, but PASS-86, and faceoff/attitude/stamina 70+/70+/70+ is an awesome get at that point in the draft.
