Well, we have a new stud in town folks. 1.21 is really on fire and showing no signs of stopping with his brilliant acquisition of T.Thomas in our midseason draft. Last week he set the Highest Weekly Total record with 327.6 and this week he set the Highest Nightly Total with a whopping 145. I don't know how anyone will touch that to be honest. I mean it is sickening, everywhere you look on the big board you see 1.21. Let's see if he can slow things down a bit this week finally!
John with a huge come from behind win vs Scoop puts him tied with Jay on the top of our leader board. I can't wait for the two of them to meet head to head. That will be a hot one. Scoop has the honour of being the first GM to have both the Stud of the week and the Dud of the week both in the same week.
There has been two unlikely Studs of the Week the last two weeks. Who would have expected to see Clowe and Fleischmann up there? Still no Crosby. Still no A-Hole.......
Now, let's all take a moment and reflect upon the biggest news of the week. I think we all know what it is: I have finally beaten Matt Jackson. It took 10 head to head match ups, but I have finally got the monkey off my back and I tell you fellers I am going to start a little streak of my own now. We meet again at the end of this season I believe and I am looking to make it a very impressive two in a row!! To be perfectly honest, I thought I had zero chance to win this week. I had a 4.8 point lead heading into Sunday night and he had Kopitar, Quick, A-Hole, Green, and Backstrom rolling. Who did I have? Perreault, Karlsson, Carlson, Anderson and Elliott. All I can say is I caught a break and by golly I had a spring in my step the whole day because of it.
Congratulations also to Richard who finally got a monkey off his back as well. Great to see you do so Richard!
Good luck to all this week and I am making it my personal goal to get Crosby on the Big Board this week!
