2016 Western Conference PLAYOFFS

[Shoalzie]

It is kind of a surprise because usually a high seed or three get upset along the way. Credit to Mike and Steve for basically going wire to wire.

Hong did win goalie cats but couldn't overturn STP, PIM and GWG.
The team that makes out of the Central is burnt out by the time it has to play the Confernece final

but congrats to Steve for reaching the final.

I guess it is not the first one.. how many already?

[The BBKL Insider]

3 or 4.

[Shoalzie]

3 times. I didn't realize that your previous title came against Mike.

[The BBKL Insider]

Ya i got lucky against mike last time. I dont stand much of a chance this year.

I believe this is mikes 3rd trip to the finals as well!

Sorry guys that i was away... i kinda lost interest due to changes to my life (will be getting a new job and stuff).. but if you all don't mind i will stick around and make sure i will complete the draft and stuff.. glad my team is still as good haha

[hong57]

And congrats to Mike and Steve.. and sorry to see Shep leaving..

Does this mean you will complete the draft, and then quit? Or does this mean you hope to stick around for good? Clearly the latter would be preferred.

[hong57]

well completing the draft and continue haha.. but i guess it's important to complete the draft for the best interest of my team.. then all those things for rosters and all will have at least a month or 2 before i need to pick it up again

that's OK Hong, if you are able to follow our draft closely, then we can revisit your commitment a couple of months later. Hopefully by then you'll have your interest back and the time to keep it going (which btw would mean update your lineups here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... d=45939424 unlike this season).

congrats on your revenge on last year btw, I won a close one in 2015 playoffs, you won a close one this season.. I'm sure there will be more if you stay in the league.

i did login once in a while to see if i received a warning.. haha

yeah i will change my lineup next season should be more active once i have more time.. i did realise that my lineup's output is pretty consistent whole season.. hopefully i have a even stronger team next year

[hong57]

.... and you lost to a ghost GM .. haha XD

[kyuss]

well that ghost GM was lucky enough that my dressed players still missed more games than his despite the fact he wouldn't make any move to sub injured players

anyway, reality is my team was not really ready to win this year after undergoing a bit of a forced retool for cap reasons: had no injuries early on and had to sell Dats & Pleks, the other big C Malkin went down soon after the deadline so I couldn't use that cap space to make deals.. hard to replace that type of centers and win.. my 4 playoff Centers are below 24 and just establishing themselves right now.. average age of my skaters in these playoff was 24 (and without high picks among them)... coming out of the beasty Central and win 4 tough playoff rounds in a row with such a green roster was very unlikely.

[Matthew]

I agree. Mik won't make the playoffs next season.

[kyuss]

bet incoming?!
