Okay folks, time to do it again.

You know the deal and if not you can ask me or anyone else who played last time.  Essentially you go to the website (www.sportingnews.com), create an account for free if you don't already have one.  Then you go to fantasy hockey, Salary Cap Hockey Challenge:  Season 1.  Create a team name (can be the same as your account name), then join an existing league.  The league information is as follows:


League Name:  The Gong Show
Password:  gong

$30 million, 7 players, 2 trades a week, 1 survivor.

And go.

And I Quote:
"flu bug that had hit the club hard during the week looked like it had goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff off his game. The netminder let in six of the 23 shots the Canucks sent at him and didn’t look all that comfortable in net."

really - shouldn't have been drinking so heavily in banff on Saturday then, and Regehr doing the walk of shame from a hotel at 5:30am on Banff's mainstreet, gahaha.

Where has all the trash talk gone? You should all be attacking each other about how you aspire to be second place.

Allota upsets tonight!
Wow, only against Florida can you have 11 shots on net - Getzlaf had 11 shots on net!  and Florida won.

And Deslauriers is 2-0 with 37/38 saves, as New Jersey put in the back-up to their backup - Clemmonson.
P.S. - just for Andrew's sake, you're going down!  nice 1200 point lead, watch, just watch, i'll wittle it down.
