So Minnesota manages a 4-2 victory over a depleted LA and you deem this news worthy? Supporting your cause? Cute. Crosby's sitting out a couple games as a precaution after being out for 10 months, it's smart. It's pretty sick that you take pleasure in this man's health concerns. Karma certainly isn't on your side. Besides, I was quoting you saying I had the better team. I've never admitted to you having a better team...because that's never been the case. I've said time and time again that even without Crosby my team is far and away better than any other. Too bad you admitted it though, you'll never live that down. Despite dealing with significant injuries all year here are my stat placements: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, SHO Me: 1st, 4th, 6th, 4th, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 5th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st You: 9th, 1st, 11th, 3rd, 1st, 4th, 12th, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 5th, 1st ...and climbing. My worst placement? 6th, yours? 12th, with an 11th and a couple of 9th's. Nice. What heights my team will reach once healthy. Points Per Game: Crosby: 1.5 Ovechkin: 0.741 Less than half the player Crosby is, Crosby also doesn't viciously spear people, 'Ovie' is a skunk. Souray hasn't had a point in how many games?

Are you embarrassed that my stat lines for the year blow yours out of the water even with several key injuries? How about the fact that I would have slaughtered you last week 7-3 with injuries to: Sidney Crosby Kris Letang Chris Pronger Zdeno Chara Jeff Skinner Jordan Staal Marc Staal Still mopped the floor with your face. That's gotta be a concern. Fortunately I have a bunch of studs (Couture, Subban, Henrique) I can call up from the farm due to my genius.

By the way, Terry Murray deserved to be fired, that team has been under performing all year and it was time for a change. He wasn't getting the best out of his players. Despite that Jonathan Quick remains the one bright spot on that team and is one of the best goalies in the league, current Top 4. The guy on top of that list? Brian Elliott.

Given the recurrence of the "injury" theme in every one of your posts, this is clearly an issue that bothers you. Logic would deduce that maybe you should stop trading for/keeping/drafting such injury prone players. And your argument isn't as cut and dry as you make it out to be. Just because you have injured players does not mean that those injured players were producing, would have produced, and/or outproduced those players who were added/called up to the fill the empty roster spot created by injury. Furthermore, every time you make a roster move, you can't comb the free agent list and add players who are on the IR and then claim how injured your team is.

Given the recurrence of the "injury" theme in every one of your posts, this is clearly an issue that bothers you. Logic would deduce that maybe you should stop trading for/keeping/drafting such injury prone players. I'm using it to illustrate how deep my team is, how my team is outperforming your comparatively healthy team while injured. Of course it bothers me that my players are hurt, any good GM would be bothered. Injury prone? Since coming into the league Letang has only missed about 5 games a year on average, Chara has missed virtually no time due to injury, Pronger similarly missed almost no time before last season due to injury, Jeff Skinner hasn't missed a game in his NHL career due to injury until recently, when I drafted Jordan Staal he had only missed 1 game in 4 years due to injury, similarly Marc Staal had only missed 7 games in 4 years due to injury before this season. Sidney Crosby is the best player in the world, I'm not going to keep him? Give your head a shake. And your argument isn't as cut and dry as you make it out to be. Just because you have injured players does not mean that those injured players were producing, would have produced, and/or outproduced those players who were added/called up to the fill the empty roster spot created by injury. So you're saying Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, Zdeno Chara, Chris Pronger and Jeff Skinner weren't producing at an elite clip before their injuries? You know what the problem with several injuries is? I can only replace 2 spots (IR) the other 5 spots are empty, I get no production from those. So yeah, if I were healthy I think it's safe to say my totals would be outrageous. Furthermore, every time you make a roster move, you can't comb the free agent list and add players who are on the IR and then claim how injured your team is. Who exactly have I done that with? Who of those players wasn't drafted, traded for, or kept? I drafted both Chris Pronger and Marc Staal who occupy my IR. The only thing I can think of in that regard is when I picked up Mason Raymond when my team was relatively healthy and I saw he was coming back...but that would be a stretch on your part...big stretch.

You act like the Canucks aren't also dealing with injury...

You act like the Canucks aren't also dealing with injury... Like who? Top 6 stalwarts such as Steve Pinizzotto, Byron Bitz, Andrew Ebbett, and Aaron Volpatti? All of which have a COMBINED total of 3 points on the season. Or the same amount of points Pierre-Marc Bouchard had when Minnesota beat Vancouver last time the two teams met on November 3rd.

David Booth? Aaron Rome, Keith Ballard and Chris Tanev too, which gave us a bottom pairing of Alberts/Sulzer for that game. So you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW, and your poor, rich drunk mother in the Caribbean.

By the way, PMB played in that game, if you weren't aware.
