I'm probably gonna lose just because I picked a player for Edmonton that isn't even on the team. That's going to really hurt me. Even if I'd picked a lovely Oiler that's like 20-30 points I won't have at the end of the year. Probably costed me a chance to win it again.

Tyler Bozak is a fine player (albeit not a real first line guy) who gets way too much poo poo because of the team he is on and the role he is forced into. It aint gonna keep up. But Eberle and Koivu aren't going to finish the season with 0 points so whatever.

I had the misfortune of having Weiss last year. Between him and Drouin, I think I lost the pool because of those two picks. If not, they at least pushed me out of the third spot.

Apparently my brother thought the same way, minus being paid out last year.

Its still early. I believe I had a solidish lead last December. And then Tavares went down and the rest all went to poo poo too.

He's actually not very good at all and without two legit first liners to carry him might not make the second line and as a Leafs fan hope he gets no more points so he goes away.

On the other hand Mikkel Boedker owns bones, thanks Oilers.

I missed this earlier but I had three or four players that registered 0 or might as well have been 0 points and came in second in the end. Also I was first for a while going into the final days if I recall correctly.

In other news the race for last person on my team to register a point is down to Evander Kane, who I hope is back soon, Milan "Why did I pick Milan Michalek" Michalek and David "Mimico" Bolland, who is day to day as of friday.

T-bone meanwhile has 10 players yet to register points but at least one of them is Drouin who just got recalled and will own, and I think Jeff Skinner will be back soon.

Trouba, B. Richards, Etem, Bennett (IR), Zibanejad, and Barkov.

A few of these guys were guys I expected to have at least 1 or 2 points by now. Although, Florida has only scored 5 goals in 5 games, so I can't really think Barkov was that bad of a pick. Enstrom has 3 points to Trouba's 0, and Jordan was right in telling me I should have went with Enstrom.

Milan Michalek is prolonging my stay in first with his first two points of the year leaving two injured guys in Evander Kane and David Stanley Cup Bolland as the final two people not to get points. Much better than last year because both of those guys should be back in reasonable time.

Playoffs are no big deal,

I made some good picks: Tavares, Zetterberg, Plekanec (a late pick), Tyler Johnson, and Vrbata all have 8 or more points.

However, I have 16 players in between 2 and 5 points. The most disappointing? MacKinnon or E. Staal. They were my second and third round picks and have 6 points between them. Mind you, both teams have had difficulty scoring.

Also, in looking up my picks, I just realized Ryan Strome was taken in the 4th round. Jeez, that's aggressive.

My bottom 5 are a joke (Yakimov sent down, injuries to Jordan Staal, and Dubinsky), Olli loving Jokinen can't get a goddamn point, and Howard and Grabovski are both out.

Also I should not have picked Chris Brown, and probably some of the other young chancy guys.
