no comment. but in all seriousness, i saw 4 teams creeping up on me, and decided to throw the game against buffalo to give those teams a chance to catch up, and MAYBE not squeeze into the playoffs dressed as thanksgiving dinner for the #1/#2 seed. i've already spoken to Jon and assured him i will dress everyone for the final game against dallas (which matters for certain western teams). the game against buffalo meant nothing for anyone except me, so calm yourself detroit, (the guy's never gonna let it go btw lol). PS. if you really care to know, Paul, Brad, and Cam are really good friends and went out for Allstar Wings in Richmond Hill the night before the Buffalo game, and all woke up with shit stains in their boxers. for fear it might be swine flu, i decided not to dress them for the game. it ended up being only stomach flu for which they took antibiotics and are good to go for the final game in good ol Texas. on a sidenote, all three players have already made a reservation for the night after the final game at the Big Texan, and will try to eat the 70oz steak meal, a popular challenge in the state. It's a question of integrity.

At this time of year, one needs to look at the over- all picture of every aspect, of all the teams, your game may affect, that game you gave to Buffalo was important to Pitts and Buffalo for homefield and the Conference Season Title. If you try to, at least, make it somewhat tough on teams ,as best you can, with what you have, this time of year, for those huge points, no one can fault you, so don't leave yourself open for flak.There is still alot of position-ing to establish as well as 4 teams involved in the 7-8 spots in the East. Eug is a good friend and a good GM, he is having a weird season, and not sure what he should do, but he know's now so let's move on.

I would like one other thing cleared up Eug....Why did you sit a healthly Ward every time he was ahead of Nabby for the SV% lead lately? Collusion anyone?? I am not in collusion with anyone, especially not Toronto. I would like to win the Vezina trophy, but if I don't, I would hope the person who does get it deserves the award. I would be upset if I lose it to someone who played only selective games.

I can best describe scratching players in this manner as one thing. Cheating.
Like i said, its not CRAZY to play a backup or make weaker lines, though in spirit its not right. But when you take out your best players you are really cheating the system. The draft is designed to give the worst teams better players, and by intentionaly fielding a worse team than you have you are cheating the shittier teams out of the players they need.
on the other hand our leauge doesnt use the draft properly anyway, cause alot of the teams with high picks dont have them anymore...

OK, speech time..
I have been a member of this league since day 1. That's uno, not dos not tres and not quatro. Aside from one rough patch of inactivity, I have never neglected my team, any gm, any gm's PM, or this league as a whole. Have i ever done anything similar to this? No. So to any who posted with questions about integrity, please don't, because there's no precedent for it.
I would like to take this time to apologize for the benchings of my top 3 guys last game. I remember being tired, and pissed off after looking at my top 6 dmen, and YES i wanted to "make sure" i lose the game against buffalo, after having to call up 53OV Goligoski for my 3rd line. I'm fully aware that this top 6 happened as a result of my trades, but i would not take any of them back if i could anyways, so i gotta live with it as shitty as that top 6 is.
I did not realize the full implications of what this would do to the buff/pitts race, but i was sure i would lose to buffalo anyways, so it was done to guarantee it lol. Once again, my apologies, and as Ray said, i will now know not to do this kind of shit again. Thank you for your understanding guys. Now let's focus on the JGHL PLAYOFFS BABY! Best time of the year! (for contenders anyways lol)

We have all seen nothing but standupedness from Toronto. As a fellow day oner, I can vouch for Eug having the league's best interest at heart in all of his dealings.
Onward and upward.

Wow all i have to say is that i thought we were all professional and adult enough not to give any teams a free win. All of your actions affect other teams and the whole league. I'm not mad, but i am dissapointed
