I needed that shutout last night. I had been slipping down the standings.
And not to steal troutman's job, but
Update Dec 4:
1. SportsJunky 208
2. Bobblehead 200
3. Bruce 197
4. Lynne 194
4. Slava 194
Good thing Aeneas hedged and put a few side bets because I don't think there is much payout for 10th. With troutman now in 11th, that will remove some of the pain.

Even with Bobbie Lou out, no one seems to be cutting into SportsJunky's lead, it is up to 15 now.

I heard a rumor that Gaborik started skating with the team.
I just traded for Gaborik in one of my fantasy leagues. Not only do I think he'll be back within a week or so but I think he is going to be on fire. This is a pivotal season for him as far as getting a new contract.
Aeneas - how are all the side bets you took looking?

Until Bruce made his big run to the top, I was 3-2. Unfortunately I am behind Junky Slava and Bruce ($10 each). But ahead of troutman and eddie bronze ($10 and $20).
If the pool ended today I would be even.
But when my amazing run finally gets going I will be up $60...plus $1 from 'Junky.
OK, how does Locke, with 4 injured players (and that isn't even include Radulov *snicker*) still stay ahead of troutman and Eddie Bronze (and only one point behind Aeneas)?
In I notice there is an 18 point gap between 6th and 7th - are there only 6 teams with a realistic shot? And Sports Junky is holding on, but the 3 teams behind are within 10 points.
Edit: And troutman, you just KNEW another injury had to come when you were almost healthy.

Because I rule. Once Radulov gets back after pulling a Forsberg I will be a force to contend with.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
It took a Backstrom shutout, but I finally passed SportsJunky.
Hopefully Bruce slows down - his team has been dynamite for 6 weeks.

I'm finally starting to build a cushion between myself and 12th place.
I can't believe you are still in 10th with almost half your roster injured/Russkied (is the Russian animal the bear? Maybe Dess was onto something).
