time to make grown people mad over an opinion in a virtual hockey league. Trades: The Bruins have traded WarPigs011 & 3rd Round Pick & Dylbxrt & S-Ghost86 to the CBJ Gaming for TWild-- & Waxmqn The Bruins have traded nothing to the Lightning for SphyzeNHL The Lightning have traded 1st Round Pick to the CBJ Gaming for xCmess Three way trade it looks like. Tampa gets rid of one of the worst contracts but its gonna cost them a first and in return a 2nd-3rd line wing with Cmess. CBJ gets Dylbert back for the 2nd time this season, bring in Warpigs and a third. Gathering assets for the future with 5 picks now for the draft. Boston "wins" this trade with grabbing Twild SphyzeNHL and Wax. In reality they just went all in hoping the new additions play a big factor into winning games as you most likely are stuck with Sphyze the rest of the season. GAS or ASS @The Treestone - Leading the league in points so far this season, 6-0, 29 points, 1 mill contract, Mr TreeStone has been nothing but. GAS @MBell91 - Has only recorded 1 point 6 games. 0-4-2. At this point just run 6'7 enforcer brother and get the boys going with a fight or two. Bell boy find a toilet cause you are. ASS @Askarov x 30 and @l Mooosey l - you gentlmen have put up almost identical numbers in net. Combined 5 shuttys and share the same SV% with .874. Both of these gents have been nothing but. GAS THE STATS NO ONE CARES ABOUT Block leader- @imGriffM (13) Puck Hog- @Smurrrrr (53:59) Faceoff Specialist- @Morin x 67 (61.2) im not looking to see what wings are playing c so cry me a river if you care that much. Mr. Give Away- @Goostaav (125) Mr. Takeaway- @MattAdoresDanna (32) B.O.X- @Smitzey (20:00 pim) Shooters Shoot- @Sapsterr (54 SH) Intereceptor- @balllzii (67) Peppered- @Herringthefish (213 shots faced) Power Rankings ladies first this time. if you are wondering what the +/- means next to the team means that's how many spots they jumped compared to my last rankings. EAST. 1. Buffalo Sabre's (11-5-2) +2 Buffalo takes the first spot in the east rankings this week. 6 win week. One of the best stat wise second lines who beat pretty solid lines this week for a 3-0. The only red thing that stands out for this team is the third line but other then that no complaints. Why I have them over a couple teams with similar standings is that they have way better puck carrying dmen compared to the other teams below. 2. Caps Gaming (8-4-6) +2 They simply couldnt find the gwg this week. If they could of won the overtime games they would of had s 8 win week. But woulda coulda shoulda. Only knock is a couple forwards off to a slow start but if you look more into it they are playing the top teams and lines. 3.Philadelphia Flyers (12-3-3) +4 Flyers move up the rankings. If they last in the top 4 that's a different discussion. Lead the league in GD. I have my concerns about the forward depth, Nutz, Persinger, Skilzy, Knife, Xbail, but they are shutting me up. Keep on winning guys. 4. Detroit Red Wings (9-7-2) -2 Even with a 7-2 week they lost 2 spots in the ranking just because how well the other teams in the conference is doing. I knew they'd have a huge bounce back week and fully except these wings to stay atop of the rankings and standings all season long. 5. Toronto Maple Leafs (12-4-2) +4 This team is comparable to the sabres but in my opinion don't have the puck movers on the back end to really help support the forwards. Forwards are playing superb but as the season progresses I hope the D core could help more on the offensive side of the game. 6.Carolina Hurricanes (11-5-2) -5 A week they wanna forget about fast. 3 wins is disgusting especially after a 8-1 week 1. What's happening. They aren't scoring goals. They only scored more 3 goals + only 3 times this week. The week prior 4 times. Defense and goalies playing fantastic but need the goal support. 7.Isles GT (10-7-1) -1 5-3-1 positive week. But underwhelming. Dekes line goes 1-2 facing 3 third lines to possibly making this a really good week. The ceiling for this team is probably the 5th in this conference and Id be shocked if they don't make yoffs comfortably. 8.Devils Gaming Group (11-7-0) +7 WOW, from 15 to 8. Im putting them 8 for a prove it spot. Could they of lucked into a 8-1 week after week 1 going 3-6 maybe. Skeptical on this team but happy they turned a shitty week around and built confidence going into week 3. Id say this is my wildcard team cause who tf knows what week 3 holds for them. 9. Montreal Canadians (10-7-1) +1 That's the bounce back I was expecting. Now they need to build off of it. I still have them as a top 6 team in the East in my mind. The top 2 lines on this team is grosss. Good week guys. 10. Tampa Bay Lightning (9-7-2) +1 If Genzy finds a way to get this team to yoffs surely he's a lock for manager of the year. Loses his owner, forced to take over, somehow sheds Syphz e contract and now has his team gaining momentum. This team has sneaky depth but lacks that top line that can go toe for toe with the others in the league. Rooting for the Bolts! 11. -3 12. -7 13. +1 14. 0 15.-3 16.0 WEST 1.QUACK (13-5-0) 0 They hold the top spot after week 2. Only loss 1 more game then they did in week 1 but still top dog in my opinion. Best D group in the league, with solid forwards on every line. I don't think there's any weaknesses that we can see with the bare eye. 2. Dallas Stars (10-6-2) 0 Its gonna be very hard to move the Stars or Ducks out of the top 2 all season just off the structure of the rosters. Stars with a 3 win week IS surprising but no ones panicking about it. The red flag is the third line. Its not gonna help the record if they put multiple bad weeks together potentially costing them a higher seed in the conference. 3. Colorado Avalanche (10-6-2) +7 Momma there goes those avs. I asked last week if they could help the goalie out and they did just that. Top 5 team in the conference when the forwards can play like how they did this week. Both goalies hot and reliable. I expect a similar week this upcoming one if the forwards continue the good play. 4.Edmonton Oilers (10-3-5) -1 They drop one spot butnin reality if they can just win half of the OTs they d still be the third spot. Night one with 3 OTLs SHEESH. Im still looking for those more competitive games from the line 1/ bombs line to see what or how good this team actaully is or could be. I know the players on that line are great but still havent seen them against a line one or even really a line 2. 5. St. Louis Blues (10-6-2) +6 I'm putting Blues top 5 but this is most likely the ceiling for them all season. The money line has big problems. The first line will get slammed by most other firsts. Put 9 mill too much on Flobezz and no ones taking that conty. Other then that solid bottom of the team line wise. nothing bad nothing amazing just good. 6. Nashville Predators (10-7-1) -2 The line 1 and 3 got cooked this week by good lines so its not that big of a deal. Expecting them to swing back next one. 7. Winnipeg Jets (8-7-3) -2 0-3 week from one of the lines that dragged them this week but outside of that the other lines played really well. Both other lines with a potential 3-0 weeks but couldn't finish in OT. Need the 0-3 line to bounce back or you ll have to on the other lines to win majority of the weeks constantly putting stress on the team. 8. LA Kings (7-7-4) +5 Hot start to the week but a 0-3 halts the momentum to finish the week. Not the line either you'd think would go 0-3 but I hope they can go into this next week with another good start and hopefully finish the week strong. 9. Vancouver Canucks (8-8-2) -3 3 win week. ew. Almost 2 lines with 0-3 night. If things don't trend upwards this next week id be expecting a shake up to some degree. 10. Minnesota Wild (8-9-1) -3 This team needs wingers. At this rate I don't see them making playoffs on this trajectory until something changes. 11. +1 12. +3 13. -4 14. 0 15. -7
