5 games may be right if we cannot win more faceoffs, getting destroyed in Faceoffs! The only guy who should be kicking our ass in circle is Towes all others are equal to our top 3. Going to have to make a few changes on lines and other areas to compete with this All Star Team! Oh yeah, not to mention every damn series we have to be down agame or even two! Always uphill, but this is the toughest one against this amazing team! So much for Monty's prediction! The master of line adjustments, Coach G, just took control back in the series... Flames coaches wondering what to do, if anything, with current lines. Uphill battle yet again as Devilish squad with home ice advantage in best 2 of 3 for Lord Stanley.

Yea that prediction was pretty laughable. Wouldn't expect anything different from two veteran GMs and consomate fantasy hockey pros, duking it out until the final horn. The competition has been off the charts all playoffs, so it's only fitting it ends with a best of 3 for all the marbles. Good luck to both of ya!

Well here we are... Game 7 of the finals. The Devils, ever resilient have rallied back and have taken their opponent to the precipice.
Who will reign triumphant? Who will lift the cup and who will ensure a shortened golfing season in vain?
All this and more on the last possible game day of an incredible 17/18 JGHL season, high drama until the last

Good Luck Chris and Ron, Original GM Ron will be after his first Cup, Original GM Chris his forth.
Down on the farm my Ice Flyers will face-off against the LumberJacks for Farm bragging rights, in their game 7. The Ice Flyers set a new farm record of 12-0, but have run into some stiff competition in the 4th Rd. Good Luck to the Jacks.

All I can say is these game 7s are wearing my ass out but it is great to be in position against an amazing team like Flames and its amazing orginal GM Chris. Win or lose not much golf as season has worn me out and have to get shoulder replaced from all those line changes. Lol
Anyway its been a great season and we climbed from not making playoffs last season the final game in Championhip against my friend Chris.
Hoefully 7th game will be fun win or lose, just hoping we finally win one.

Lol Anyway its been a great season and we climbed from not making playoffs last season the final game in Championhip against my friend Chris. Hoefully 7th game will be fun win or lose, just hoping we finally win one. Thanks Monty & Ray! (Cool to hear about the minors' championship too!!) Coach G. What can I say!? Was hoping but not expecting to win Game 6 as not sure my heart can take another Game 7! I got away with two extremely close Game 6 series, and crazy 7 game series with Joe! I figured Ron had another trick up his sleeve and got Corey Crawford to play on his head while blitzing Bobrovsky for 5 goals. Think Sergei was dreaming too much of a Ovy like celebration! Got ahead of himself! The Amazing Atkinson working his magic on the offensive side and the rejuvenated Staal strutting his stuff. We're looking forward to, and at the same time not looking forward to the virtual trip to Jur-zee for this unwelcoming crowd who'll be cheering on those relentless Devils! Best of luck, Coach - with how close it's been, it's obviously going to a super intriguing Game 7. ***Having seen a bear climb a tree in Fernie, BC on Monday, just off the trail while mountain biking, this Game 7 is about as tough a scenario as that one!!! (Luckily my friend and I bolted out there without Da Bears chasing us!!!*** ***We've worn out about a dozen chalkboards trying to map out a strategy for this one lol - still recovering from a shoulder injury from mountain biking, so I'll be joining you in rehab in the "offseason" haha***

Congrats Chris! I gave it a try today! But just did not have enough to beat that All-Star team of yours! Great series and was lts of fun! Just could not pull off last game like last 3 series especially not against you! Thanks to all for a great season and thank you Jon for another great season too!
Wish that game 7 was played on road because we were so much better on road then home all season! It was a struggle to try to stop those that 3 lines and Crawford played as well as he could being over matched by Bob!

Wish that game 7 was played on road because we were so much better on road then home all season! It was a struggle to try to stop those that 3 lines and Crawford played as well as he could being over matched by Bob! Thanks, lads. Thanks Jon for running another awesome season! Congrats, Coach G - what a season you put together! So close to being one for the ages - President's Trophy, winning 3 game seven series and then taking the Cup to a close game 7 in which you had the lead as well! It really could have went the other way. I really thought this would be the game that bucked the trend of home team having a rough time of it, but in the end lucked out and Bob managed to stop a few pucks before starting his Ovy-like celebration! ; ) I had a speech in defeat in my mind already made up and it would have said that if I had to lose, I'd be glad it would be to one of the true great humans on this planet! Ron/Coach G rocks and I have the utmost respect for him. Rest up those shoulders at Hilton Head Coach - well-deserved break from all the savvy GMing you've been up to this season. Maybe it's because I'm older and the memory not so good, but have to say, this has been the sweetest of my 4 victories (and it's been a long time in between Cup wins for the Flames!). Finishing 8th overall in the regular season was respectable but slightly disappointing given the roster I had assembled. The pre-deadline mega-trade that sent out a lot to get the services of RoR and Ryan McDonagh took a while to pay dividends, but it wasn't until the playoffs that I truly got the most out of this roster with tons of line combination changes early on, even for Game 7 I shuffled the decks slightly. Anyway, pretty proud of my lads to get through 4 really tough opponents this playoffs without home-ice advantage (or was it disadvantage!), as the lower finishing regular season team in each series. I love how this league seems to keep getting stronger each season. Here's to a great offseason and to yet another awesome season next year! Now we're going to try and give Ovy a run for his money in celebration the Cup win!!! (I know we won't come close but gotta try! : )

Congrats Chris, 4 cups is pretty crazy and it looks like your team is set up to to keep on going for years. That was a really close final, could have gone either way in game 7. Looking forward to the off-season of new ratings, trades and the draft. Thanks Jon and Gavin for all the work this year!
