Wow, that was a pretty good game. I wasn't happy when the game started and I saw that both teams seemed to want to rest a lot of their starters though. Very odd choice by the game.

[EagleFan]

Will post a preview of the championship series later.

How was that format for the game posting? If you liked it that is how I will post the championship games.

[korme]

Good format. I was reading post by post since I was involved. But I was getting angrier as Stamford caught up and I realized half my team was on the bench. But it worked out.

[korme]

Preseason predictions held true after all, albeit in a much tighter form.

[timmae]

great format. Good stuff!
