Week 5 – Nov 5 Derko Perfecto!

THE WEEK THAT WAS

• Derko’s off to a 15-0 start and is walking away with the Total Player Points. When Ovechkin is your worst player things are going pretty well. That Dadanov draft pick is paying off.
• Haukster had the 2nd best week and the best rookie as Barzal notched 7 pts
• T-Man has steadily been trending up the past 3 weeks moving from 9th to 6th.
• Fulty ‘s team is consistent – had no players with zeros, and nobody with 5 or more pts
• Cordy had the Player of the Week as Crawford had two shutouts
• Erty jumped up 2 spots this week to 4th
• EZ had a huge week from his D – 13 points – of which Leddy got 7
• Orv had the 5th worst week but still went 3-0
• Rolphy fell 3 spots to 8th
• R&S finish last again but the pick-up goes to a lottery: R&S get 1, 2, & 3, Stif gets 4 & %, and GOJo gets 6….and its a 6. So GoJo gets the next pick up.

SHRAPNEL

By now you’ve heard of Connor McDavid taking heat from the Twitterverse for dressing as Donald Trump for Halloween. There have been some great responses to it. Here’s one (apologies to the Trump-lovers out there).

Bold Prediction: As his last act as Prime Minister in 3 years time, Justin Trudeau will outlaw Halloween as a politically insensitive celebration of historical pumpkin massacres! Then he’ll shed a few tears, and hug a shrub.

MOVEMBER

Movember is here and men are encouraged to grow a stache for Movember. Here are some great ‘staches in NHL history.

Derek Sanderson. The Bruins ran a “Date with Derek” contest in 1970. 13,000 entrants. The winner was a 73 year old grandmother. Her husband was pissed that she entered.

“Harold Snepsts was the worst skater on the team, but he could run like crazy on the ice. He really enjoyed punishing those who sat too long in the crease,” said his Edmonton Bantam AA coach, Jim Stewart.

How popular was Lanny? Darryl Sittler resigned as Leafs Captain after McDonald was traded to Calgary.

And the player who introduced the Handlebars/Fu Manchu to junior hockey, Wendel Clark.

Great staches, all. But it’s really about your nuts.

9th worst 3rd jersey of all time — 1995-97 VANCOUVER CANUCKS 3rds

For a franchise that leads major league sports in logo fails, the spaghetti skate fail might be the NHL’s biggest, but it never seemed quite so excessive as when it was applied to these shocking alternates. Add in the unbalanced yellow V that bisects the logo and slides off to the right side and take away the shoulder and arm piping and you’re left with a jersey that’s somehow overly busy and sadly plain at the same time.

Got so busy on the jersey, they forgot about the socks.

STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS 2019 – WINNIPEG JETS!

In their June 24, 2014, issue, Sports Illustrated boldly introduced the Houston Astros as “Your 2017 World Series champs.”

SI tweeted “Called it.” Cover boy George Springer was even the series MVP.

In related news, in their Future Watch 2015 edition, The Hockey News proclaimed the Jets would win the 2019 Stanley Cup.

Hmmm…they also predicted Buffalo in 2020. Get exited, Orv!

UNTIL NEXT WEEK…

That’s it. I’m off to hotter places so you will be left in the capable hands of Fulty next week. Looking forward to that.

Week 7 Standings

Week 7 sees Cordy on top with 32, while nFg is one back (With fewest losses and most player points), 6er 2 back, & Gordie 3 points back.  EZ and Cordy went 3-0 this week while Rolphy & Derko went 0-fer.

Rolphy use the week 6 pick up to grab Enroth BF and drop Bobrovsky PH.  The week 7 pick-up goes to Rolphy, but it’s his 3rd week in a row in last so that means lottery between R, Erty, & Derko (that’s a long way from the Derko Cup)….. and the die rolls 5 giving the p/up to Erty.

Orv wanted the stats to show the past 10 games as was done in the past, so it’s been added but modified.  With 3 games a week you’ll see a column for “The Last 4 Weeks” or past 12 games.

Orvy & Cordy spent a lot of time this past week trying to make a deal with each other.  While some big names were thrown around, the only thing they could agree on was that Wendel Clark’s ‘stash circa 1988 was awesome and needs to be paid homage to this month.
