    they're too damn cheap...
    Sorry. I didn't mean to insult Nash. I love the guy. I'm just angry about how poor he, and a few other of my guys, have been doing this year in the pool.

    I agree. If he was given a true #1 centre, he'd be great. Heck, look what he did with Mathew Lombardi at the WC's!
    Part of the issue might be that he's playing LW. He played RW in the WC's and seemed to love it there. Phil Esposito is always commenting no how much better he is on his off wing. I'm starting to agree.

      Wow, my fantasy team is going in the toilet.

      Thornton hasn't had more than one multiple point game all year.
      Michalek has had only one good week (when he was on my bench).
      I picked up Vlasic two weeks ago when he recorded 9 points in 11 games but has gone scoreless in 5 since I grabbed him.
      And now Nabakov is hurt. Awesome.

      I think it's safe to say that I have the anti-Midas touch. Everyone I grab turns to crap.
      Last week I put Ryan Suter and Michalek on the bench. Both guys got 4 points each.
      This week? 0 from both.
      I had Chara starting all year where he gave me an awesome 3 points in 11 games. I bench him this week and he scores a goal last night.
      I drafted Tobias Entrsom and he gets 1 point in 10 games. I finally drop the bum and he gets 4 points last night.

      Last season I drafted Plecanec and P.M. Bouchard. Both guys started the year slow and in a 3 week stretch I think they had 1 point between them.
      Since our pool is designed to not preach patience, I drop them both. Bouchard responded by getting back-to-back 4 point weeks and Plecanec went on to score at more than a point-per-game clip.

      I hate pools. I should just quit as it's starting to take away my enjoyment for just watching games for the fun of it.

          LOL. Normally I would never be accused of overthinking, but when it comes to hockey pools I turn into an idiot who starts to take ice conditions into account.

          But I'm happy to report that my team has rebounded nicely since two weeks ago.
          Thornton, Kopitar, Nash and Chara have all been producing lately.

          I have Mikko Koivu benched this week since he had 1 point in 5 games so of course he's got 3 goals in 2 games this week. But I'd rather he produce on the bench so I can put him in this week for the slumping Prospal (who's now on the 3rd line).

          But it really hurts me now that Green appears to be injured. That dude was on pace for 70 points and now he could be out long term or play at 60% the rest of the year. ARgh!

              I'm in a private one using CBS. It's a good site for it.
