    You going to Flin Flon? or some other wierd named town, dont get me wrong I think it would be kewl to say you are from Moose Factory or something wierd like that, especially if you moved to the states.

    Yeh those are great, my english teacher played for the Saskatoon Blades. And I have heard of quite a few of those, but it makes it an interesting country to live in, and it would be kewl to say you were from one of those places, it is just interesting how they chose to name their towns. Thanks for all the info Tristen

    I have Sept 10th setup as the last makeup day before the playoffs. Is there any way you can get some of your games played before then? And if not, will you make all of that Wednesday evening available for getting any unplayed game (currently 6) in?

    Actually, I want to start the playoffs ASAP and have zero makeup period (there has been ample time to play these games. 10+ weeks for 40 games). Starting the postseason next week will still put us into October before we are finished, we need to get the ball rolling here.

    Shouldn't be an issue, as long as your 2nd round opponent is determined before you leave (assuming you win your first series, hehe).

    The 2nd round will start the day you leave (Sunday, 21st) so we'll need you to maybe hammer out your 2nd round series (assuming your opponent is done early) before you leave.

    Then, when you get back, it will be the end of the week for round 3, so you'll need to play that series on that Friday/Saturday right after you return.

    Might be alot of games in one sitting, but I think you'll be able to work it out (especially if you have some 4-0 sweeps or a 4-1 series in that 1st/2nd round).

    I made the 1st round extra long (10th-20th) to give people plenty of time, but that's a MAXIMUM time allowed for each series. We are REALLY hoping people will finish up quickly so we can get our playoffs completed earlier (and get the Season 4 started sooner). ie. If all of the 1st round series are done this first weekend (13th/14th), there won't be a reason to delay another week to start the 2nd round.

    I am hoping I wont have to play you for two reasons. 1. You are freakin good and have killed me both times. 2. I dont want to play my series all in one sitting, but I will if necessary.

    Tonight ENDS week 7, so you need to get those week 7 games in anyway, regardless of next week. Please don't abuse the 1 week grace period. Week 7 games need to be done by the end of week 7. I hate seeing this many unplayed games going into the final day of the week. :cry:

    Your week 8 games will be given extra time to be made up, since you are on vacation for that week.

    hey jon, tris

    me and my wife were supposed to leave for Feb. 13 for a 3 week vacation (well earned one). i moved it to Feb. 29- Mar.20 because i would like to finish my NHL games as much as possible and without delaying the regular season.

    if i dont make it in the playoff no sweat. but in case i make it, could my opponents wait for me ? ( plssssssss........ :cry: ) i could not move it to mid march because the air fare RATE will be almost doubled.

    OK, here is the deal, from the 14-18 I will be studying for finals and will prolly not be playing any games at all. From Dec 23-Jan 1 I will be out of town so I will not be able to play any games at all.
