Atlanta: Tanguay, goal and an assist, leads the Thrashers past Detroit! There's rumblings from Atlanta saying the season's letters are about to be decided.

Atlanta: Thrashers Captain--Joe Sakic. Assistant--Alex Tanguay Assistant--Alexei Yashin

Evan: hey guys. has any one ever been to the columbus blue jackets arena??? thinking of going but i dont wanna go if its a crap hole

NYI: never been, you should go and let us know how it is

Mr. Rangers: Send them over. I'll give you Green from the Ruins.

Chicago Fan: Chicago needs a shake up... send me some trade offers...

detroit GM: now that Elias and Gonchar have been dealt it's time to finish the Detroit re-org. Markov and Martin are both available for nayone interested in 2 solid d-men. Looking towards youth in return.

montreal: just got home from the leaf game, go boys go. they let them get close but was a big win.

Mr. Rangers: Montreal, I was also at the game. Where you sit?

detroit GM: I was also at that lousy game. Can't believe the Loafs pulled it off. Thank god for beer.

Cliff Coleclough: Hey Mr. Rangers and Detroit - I was their too. Where's you be at?

Columbus GM: looking to trade hossa and weeks , looking for a high prospect and high picks , email me wit your trade ideas.

Evan: wow. 20,000 in attendence in my nashville home game. crazy

Evan: how the *honk* did i gget shut out by this noob

Phoenix: Richards is out shining Naslund as I said would happen

Atlanta: Funny...earlier you said Naslund should be coming home to Phoenix.

Phoenix: That's funny, he should, then Richards would be leading the league by 10 points right now

Mr. Rangers: Dear Boston, Please start 'mamgeing' your team again. k.thx.

Edmonton: I think the sim is broken. A 0-0 tie in Colorado? What's up with that??? lol

Mr. Rangers: I don't think the sim was ever not broken...

Justin: I know...the Rangers always made the playoffs, sure sign the sim never worked.

Mr. Rangers: oh, you said 'always'... I think I had a couple of years off.

ECHL Fan: I see why Clumbus wants to unload Hossa...he's so amazing, he's been blanked the last two games...GOOO HOSSA!

ECHL Fan: Hossa's stock is plummetting...quick, trade him for a bag of pucks.

Montreal: in a bad tail spin, losing control, abort abort abort

GM Florida: Looking for a superstar RW - anyone interested in talks... OV 80+

St Louis: Guerin on the block OV 79 SC82, talk to me.

Columbus gm: Hossa is available , looking for a top prospect in return , email me thank you.

Carolina: Calgary please check your email when u get a chance

ECHL Fan: Hossa is available, looking for someone...anyone...who can score goals. My bantam team is available!

Columbus gm: ok that wasnt funny the first time , grow up

ECHL Fan: Another goose egg for the Hoss-man. He's a winner.

Minnesota [Bill]: Hey Justin/Conrad: Anyway we could get a trade update via email? Seems like I've missed a few big ones. Thanks.

Evan: i agree with bill. what ever happend to the gms having the oppurtunity to contest trades??? pdates that privilidge of ours gets taken away

Dallas gm: Montreal & New York Islanders. Please check your emails. Thank you

Calgary GM: I think people should email the commissh box instead of saying it on here. CBA says all emails will be acknowledged, zonk isn't.

Minnesota [Bill]: I think people are fully entitled to discuss it with other gm's on the zonk. Whether it gets "officially acknowledged" or not I'm not too worried about.

Minnesota [Bill]: I'll just talk to Justin about it the next time i see him on MSN. It's not a big deal.

Evan: the old gms who use to be on this all the time left. rick and paul have no interest n e more. and the foe seem to lose interest as the months go on...

St Louis: Maybe the FoE should liven things up then...don't complain and then not try to fix the problem.

Evan: its tough, were all getting older and getting consumed by our jobs. and the fact that no one else really msgs on this any more doesnt help

GM Florida: updates on trades would be awesome - maybe the people doing the trades could post on Zonk...

Phoenix: ECHL Fan, Hossa just doesn't fit into columbus plans... also Hossa doesn't do well on Columbus because he doesn't work with those players.

ECHL Fan: No player fits into Columbus plans...his fourth defensive pair is missing a defenseman!

Chicago Fan: Merry Christmas to you and your families.

Minnesota [Bill]: Ottawa coming into our game tonight with back to back shut outs. Yikes!

Phoenix: Meh.. I shutout Calgary.. which his team has been hurting since of all those pointless trades..HAHA

ECHL Fan: if anyone knows about pointless trades, Phoenix...

ECHL Fan: Calgary is a POINT out of first place in the league...yes...that's truly hurting.

Phoenix: Yes.. I forgot he built Calgary... if I came into the league with that Team I am sure I would be leading the league

Phoenix: Pointless trades?? I am pretty sure last time I checked that I was rebuilding and still 3rd in the West ..HAHAHA

GM Florida: go Canada - my boys are doing well this year in the world juniors

Minnesota [Bill]: What a win last night!!! Wow. Can you believe I had to miss the 3rd period? I got goosebumps just watching the highlights!!! Eberle is a beast....Pietrangelo with the snipe to tie it. Crazy.

Chicago: Insane game last night... EH O CANADA GO!!!!

GM Florida: Eberle is on fire - Pietrangelo looking pretty darn good as well.

Phoenix: ECHL Fan, not a cup to show for it ? Well you don't even manage a team...so your one to talk, and if you do stop hiding behind that name

St Louis: This is funny...people getting upset at a little chirping.

St Louis: ECHL Fan is chirping like the fans would do at any hockey game...people get upset?

St Louis: Stick to knitting if you don't handle chirping.

Evan: emily. i tihnk what shawn is getting at is. if ur gonna chirp. chirp under ur own name. so shawn can chirp back at whoever the fan is... fair is fair... right???

Phoenix: WOW, I lead my division in GF and I have the least goals against.. yet I am under 500. , wow that doesn't make sense

Boston: Maybe some of you other people wouldn't lose so much if I wasn't the only one paying my coach. Jerks.

ECHL Commissioner: No one has been traded anywhere until the Commish Office reviews it.

ECHL Commissioner: Columbus needs to stop getting ahead of himself.

Minnesota [Bill]: GOLD Medal Game in 20 mins!!!! GOOOO CANADA GOOOO!!!!!

Columbus gm: was not trying to offend anyone , just reporting a possible trade , sorry for jumping the gun , the trade is waiting approval

Evan: commisioner. no one knows aboutt rades now. bryce was simply telling the league that hes been traded. instead of ppl wondering when or how he went to anaheim

Evan: and rly commish... i recall i use to go under the commish name on the zonk. and i got bashed by certain commisioners for it... whats with all the hypocritcy now?

GM Florida: Eberle MVP... Pietrangelo Best D-man - Great job boys - Gold would have been nice - Florida is proud of their prospects

Mr. Rangers: Evan, it's okay for the real commish to post here... but not imposters. I agree with the Commish in this case, no need to say anything about deals until they are apporoved.

Evan: yes john. but when i was a commish. i use to post under the commish name also. and i got bash haarrdddcore from it.... thats where i am coming from. and really. byce telling us about a trade. who cares. in my opinion this zonk really needs to get lively

Phoenix: Bryce telling everyone that Hossa got traded is good.. the I haven't got one trade up date since the season started............

Phoenix: Canada should of pulled allen after the second goal..

Columbus gm: Well it has been 3 days and still no commish has told me if its approved or not so the wait continues , thanks

Evan: bryce. talk to justin about that. hes really good with gm communication

Minnesota [Bill]: Downie with a HUGE game!! 4 goals in a 16 minute span. Wow.

Columbus gm: Please updats the GM list commish , it still says mathew pollishuke is the GM for columbus

ECHL Fan: Its funny how Calgary said Kopitar was untouchable , now he has been traded to St.Lous ???

Minnesota [Bill]: Man, we really need some trade updates.

Islanders: I glad the games are being run, keep up the good work Justin

Dustin: Neither trade updates or waivers are Justin's responsibility, I've already offered my help to code the transactions page if I am provided with an updated trade list.

Evan: justins doing an awesome job with the games..... it should be the gms responsibilities to [post there trades on the zonk. help justin out. cause i dont wanna lose my right to veto a trade that i tihnk its unfair

ECHL Commissioner: There is no problem with posting APPROVED trades so the league knows. Please don't post trades that you have merely submitted, and haven't been approved yet. Does this sound fair?

ECHL Commissioner: New Trades are up current to December 8, 2009. The rest will come shortly.

ECHL Commissioner: Thanks to Dustin for coding the transaction page for us. If he is able to do it, I propose he try to keep a weekly update going.

Minnesota [Bill]: NICE! Thanks Dustin! Your hard work is much appreciated. Now, does anyone else find these 3-way trades really confusing...

Evan: Man. i sure love getting pointless emails of a person complaining about a fake name.... thank you very much anominous echl fan. a certain gm wet his pants over your fakeness

ECHL Commissioner: Apologies, guys...the sim somehow ran two days worth of games again.

Justin: That's my take on it...that sim is very sharp on things.

Cliff Coleclough: Boston's winning percentage concerns me. That might have something to do with the wonly SIM running two sets of games

Mr. Rangers: It would be cool if the Devils had that winning %!

Boston: I like how I can leave for a week in Florida, pay no attention to my team, and still be higher in the standings than the Rangers.

Evan: AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA OWNED... GOOD ONE. U SUCK RICK

Boston: Cliff, we were good, what have I done to deserve this? Would Fergie Olver approve of your tone? I doubt it.

Minnesota [Bill]: Patrick O'Sullivan - 6pt game. Wow.

Justin: My guess would be because he assisted on 8 goals in the season?

Minnesota [Bill]: He's got more assists than the 14th overall pick, Simon Derpes (WTF?).

Evan: ahahahaha. thats what happens when u rent players

Phoenix: I lost Naslund and Sykora and I some how still have 120 Goals for....

Boston: I lost to Colorado, this sim is rigged. Put it back, Justin.

Boston: So anyone decide to sign their RFAs early? Thus paying more for them the rest of this year instead of signing them in the off-season at the same rate?

Minnesota [Bill]: Who's to say it will be the same rate, Rick? Ie: Nedorost. He is almost leading the farm scoring...his re-rate will definitely see his ov go up...which means it might be a bargain to sign him now.

Evan: ric, why are you a downer. justin does his best to keep this league fun. dont put his great ideas down man. what justin did was awesome!!!

Minnesota [Bill]: whoa. the sim changed my rosters and lines. wtf. i haven't sent lines in for like 4 days.

Justin: Why is Zhamnov dressed on my roster? I sent him to the farm like two weeks ago!

Evan: WOW WHY WAS KADRI ON MY PRO TEAM. SIMS *honk*ED

Carolina: This is a bunch of crap, 8 players went on my pro team from my farm! WTF is going on here!

Carolina: my better players were sent to farm, thats what i was trying to say

Justin: Everyone resubmit lines. This is stupid. My whole team got scrambled.

Minnesota [Bill]: Not so laughable when you lose 6-0 to Colorado because of it.

Justin: I laugh because its the only response...completely out of control what that piece of software does.

Minnesota [Bill]: Yeah, too bad its so glitchy. Seems even worse this season for some reason.

GM of the Avs: At least Atl extended its winning streak during the glitch. And Colorado was able to go 2-0-1 in its streak. We need all the help we can get.

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Nathan Horton traded to Calgary for Hartnell? Huge blockbuster and no one knows about it!! haha.... why not announce the trade on the zonk once it's done guys?

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. I guess I'm the only one who missed it then. haha.....my bad.

Boston: What has 58 arms and sucks? The GMs of all teams who aren't Boston!

Carolina: surprised you can do the math for that...lol

Phoenix: We are half way done the season, when is the trade deadline ?

Minnesota [Bill]: Nice! Finally a big game for my farm team. Really needed a 21 goal game boost.

Justin: RFAs can be traded whenever...UFAs cannot be traded til the deadline

Boston: Alert: We are half way done the season and I'm still ahead of the Rangers and Wings.

Phoenix: If anyone is looking for a solid Centre for the playoffs.. Koviu is available.. Ov 80 90PA

Mr. Rangers: nice game ruins... lets see you do it in the offs.

Carolina: Half the season is gone, Time to compare stats Rangers like you said we should do, Brodizak = 19 pts, Tavares = 47 pts! Would you trade the your 19th pick now for Tavares like you said you wouldn't?

echl fAN: Unfair...put them in the same league and see...rigged contest! RIGGED, I say!

Carolina: Rangers said Brodziak would do better if he was in pro, so he said it didn't matter

Carolina: he said farm or pro, doesn't matter, those were his words!

Mr. Rangers: I said he would re-rate better at the pro level. Brodie is +12 with 19 points.

Mr. Rangers: I would not trade Brodie for Tavernes at this point.

Mr. Rangers: If Brodie were in the minors... he would have 60 points. At least.

Mr. Rangers: Lets compare again at the end of the year and in training camp.

Dustin: Evan, it's not funny if you're the ewok. Leave it up to the professionals.

Mr. Rangers: ar, I can make outlandish claims because we never know what would have happened if...

Boston: Detroit, I'm going to beat you like a bad wife tomorrow.

St. Louis: Down 3-0, storms back with four straight goals! GOOOO ST LOUIS!

Carolina: What does the NHL team Atlanta and ECHL team Nasville have in common?

Carolina: Rangers I thought you turned into a pirate for a second....lol

Boston: Rangers, you predict as well as you play Boston.

Mr. Rangers: I'd like to thnak the Ruins for crushing my dreams

detroit GM: My team sucks but is truculent...Alexander Edler beats up Mike Green

Minnesota [Bill]: TRUCULENCE. You can't teach it. You're either Truculent or you're not. Pretty simple.

Minnesota [Bill]: ...one of those "key intangibles" that Brian Burke values in building his power-house franchise.

ECHL Press Release: Jaromir Jagr has learned from Toronto GM Sam Steggles that he should start examining the real estate markets in St. Louis.

ECHL Press Release: Jagr was handed a plane ticket to St. Louis after this morning's practise. He will make his landing in St. Louis after the Leafs' game in Montreal.

Minnesota [Bill]: ...Post the trade if it's completed.

ECHL Press Release: Trades will be posted as more details become available.

Dustin: Check the transactions page sometime tonight, it should be updated.

Mr. Rangers: Her Car... How about Sheppard for Tavares? OV 73 for a 70... it's a good deal.

Carolina: ya ok, 3 years older, anyone that would make that trade would be dumb!

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Speaking of bad trades..... Edmonton sends their 1st rounder + ov75 goalie for Sasha Pokulok (ov76)?

Minnesota [Bill]: ...If the season ended today that's a top 10 pick. It seems like GM's are not valuing the 1st rounders as much any more.

ECHL Tradecenter: Edmonton sends newly acquired goalie Al Montoya, LW James Neal, and a 1st round draft pick to Phoenix for goalie Dwayne Roloson, defenseman Andrew Alberts, and a 2nd round pick.

San Jose GM: In another bad trade... Edmonton gives up the farm for a 40 yr old goalie? WOW

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Lecavalier is on fire! On pace for a 62 goal season. Also, Montoya shines against his former team with a 31 save win over Atlanta.

Boston: I lost to Los Angeles, please recalibrate the server again. This software sucks. I blame the Rangers.

Atlanta: The sun in Phoenix obviously agrees with Montoya...low expectations in that desert.

Phoenix: Please.. This is the ECHL.. not the NHL..Coyotes have many fans and have bigger expectations

Only took Atlanta 4 season to become good

ECHL Historian: If I remember right, Atlanta has made one playoff appearance in six seasons.

Phoenix:

, Rick now you know how I feel when Anaheim some how scored 7 against me, That's why I traded Roloson, and losing to La is always painful just like me losing to the Bruins

Minnesota [Bill]: Yes. I believe the farm players have always seen their ratings fluctuate very slightly throughout the season. Although, this season I have noticed it more. Couple of my guys have dropped 1 OV point while others have gone up as much as 3 OV points.

Florida GM: haven't had many go up only 1 - but it was after he dropped 2 OV.

Florida GM: I'm looking to make a few trades - anyone interested in moving 80+ guys

Minnesota [Bill]: Looks like Andrew Ladd exploded Michael Funk's face during their fight! Funk injured (cd9

, Ladd ejected. 2nd time they've danced this week! Awesome.

Carolina: I did the NorthWest a favor and beat the Canucks!

Carolina: I'm still trying to figure that one out!...lol

Dustin: Kovalchuk plays the point on the PP, maybe he can play D

GM Florida: I would be interested in Iggy - tried to email you... what are you looking for him

ECHL Rumor information.: It has been told that the Los Angeles Kings have shipped forward Vaclav Prospal to Phoenix from some draft picks

ECHL Insider: It has been rumoured that Detroit and Atlanta have been in deep discussions over the past few days. No information has been revealed as to the nature of these talks.

ECHL Rumor information.: Cammalleri goes to Carolina in exchange for Jeff Petry

Carolina: Minny you owe me beer for beating Vancouver 2 nights ago....lol

ECHL Rumor information.: Rumor has it that Jarome Iglina has been traded! More information to come tonight

ECHL Tradecenter: It's official! Jarome Iginla is headed to Atlanta for Scott Hartnell and Willie Mitchell.

Evan: Thats it? man go justin you def ripped him. im impressed!!!!!

Dustin: 5 year age difference and 2 million less in salary, I'd say Detroit got the better deal with the addition of Mitchell.

Minnesota [Bill]: Chicago Fan: Not to "toot my own horn" but Minny is actually unbeated in the last 12 games! My last loss being the 6-0 beating Colorado put on me when the sim glitched out and started 8 of my farm players. Wooo!

Carolina: the farm sim is broken, my team hasn't scored a goal in 4 games...lol

Echl Insider: More Details evolve. Massive 5 player transaction with 3 draft selections included. Game Changer perhaps?

Phoenix: what possible more trades could happen between St.Louis,Atlanta and Calgary ?

Minnesota [Bill]: Wooooo! My squad is on fire!!!! unbeaten in 14!!!!!

Evan: its cause you havnt played nashville in a while

Boston: The blog here is updated even less than that overanything site. Lame.

ECHL Insider: Leaked information.. St.Louis has received a top notch centre

Justin: Okay, no more ECHL Insider...I know who it is now.

Atlanta: Just like Washington...Minny's streak ends tonight!

Minnesota [Bill]: Strong words coming from a team who is 2-5-3 in their last 10 games.

Atlanta: Yes, but every dog has his day.

The Wild are done...finished

Carolina: gets a day off then prepares for the big showdown!!!

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Carolina with a big 8-1 win over Phoenix! What is going on in Phoenix this season? Wow.

Carolina: Wow, I'm as shocked as you are, thats not suppose to happen!

Boston: Please note that my victory over you tonight vaulted me OVER you into first place. w00t.

Minnesota [Bill]: WOOOOOOO... hejduk with the hat trick! turco is destroying... MINNY UNBEATEN IN 16 GAMES!!!!!

Mr. Rangers: It's okay. We took out Thornton for 6 weeks!! Also outshot you 11-1 in the third. You got lucky.

Minnesota [Bill]: Minny unbeaten in 17 games (13-0-4). Marty Turco: 13-0-4 with 5 shutouts and a 1.35 GAA over the stretch.

Boston: Frig, you almost made me crap myself with that 6 weeks comment. Thanks.

Calgary: Dear Boston, thanks for the comeback you let me have. Sincerely, Calgary.

Minnesota [Bill]: Turco back on top of the stats leaders (where he belongs).

Boston: Can't hear you, Calgary, I'm at a party on the level above you with Bill for teams with 80 points or more...

ECHL Fan: Wow Carolina only lost 2 - 0 to Minnesota, shouldn't that score be higher?

Phoenix: Ever since Carolina got Cammalleri, The team is doing better, Watch out for them next year!

Dustin: Man, every goal Russia scored last night was complete *honk*. Latvia's goalie was terrible.

Dustin: Norway looked much stronger than Latvia, and Luongo didnt allow 2 goals like Nabbie did(the second one was pretty bad too)

Dustin: Everyone thinks Russia is the team to beat, and I don't think they are.

Phoenix: The Finals are gonna be Canada vs Russia ..lol

Phoenix: Dustin are you kidding me.. You didn't see Oveckhin snipe that corner from the top of the circle.. get your johnstone out of Iggys booty

GM of the Avs: RUSSIA = Olympic Gold. BOSTON = ECHL Champ.

Dustin: Wasn't a snipe, it was going probly under 40km/h. That goalie just sucks.

Carolina: will be the team to watch for next year like Phx said!

Carolina: Canada = GOLD, Russia = SILVER, Sweden = BRONZE

Carolina: What happened, we didn't hear from Minnesota tonight! Oh thats right they lost....lol

Carolina: Ovechkin probably couldn't even shoot 40km if he tried!...lol

Carolina: I gave you a win Colorado, let me have your 1st rd pick!..lol

TRADECENTER UPDATE: Minnesota has acquired C Tomas Plekanec from Dallas in exchange for C Jason Allison, D Chris Summers and C Joe Colborne.

TRADECENTER UPDATE: Boston hasn't traded anything because they're awesome like Russia and don't need no help so all other teams can eat it.

ECHL Tradecenter: Al Montoya has been traded to Calgary for Kari Lehtonen.

ECHL Tradecenter: Mario Lemieux, a 1st round pick, and a 2nd round pick has been traded to Los Angeles for Andy Hilbert and Kim Johnsson.

Columbus Gm: In desperate need of a young goalie to build apon , if you want to trade your goalie , send me a email

Carolina: A day off then another showdown will take place! Go Cammal!..lol

Carolina: Wow, Russia loses to Slovakia, I guess Russia is good as everyone says they are!

Carolina: Ovechkin shoots 3 times and they still can't win...lol

GM of the Avs: It's funny we didn't hear from Minny a second straight night... oh, right, they lost again.

ECHL Tradescenter: Breaking news from Minnesota...the Wild send Daymond Langkow, Steve Downie, Peter Holland, and Vaclav Nedorost to Columbus for Jason Spezza, Mark Tobin, and a 1st and 2nd round draft pick.

ECHL Tradecenter: Minny and Columbus trade which took place in the wee hours. Going to Minny Spezza, Tobin plus Columbus 1st and 2nd round for Landkow, Downie, Holland and Nedorost

ECHL Tradecenter: Phoenix and Calgary swap goalies, going to Phoenix Montoya, and heading to Calgary Kehtonen

Atlanta: Hey Tradescenter, you're a little late

Look up

ECHL Tradescenter: This just in...Edmonton trades Peter Forsberg to Atlanta for Vaclav Prospal and Nick Schultz.

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Atlanta with some serious fire power now. Yikes.

Minnesota [Bill]: Minny is looking for an upgrade at LW or RW. I am willing to part with one of my amazing prospects. White, Bailey, Plante, Wishart, Giroux...etc

Minnesota [Bill]: Att: Dallas (JORDAN) and Aneheim (MATT).... please check email. Thx.

ECHL Tradecenter: Blockbuster out of Atlanta and Vancouver camp. Going to Atlanta Cloutier, Stewart and Filppula. Heading to Vancouver Havlat, Lalime and Abid

Phoenix: Really ? Filppula is on LA, I wonder how he pull that one off.

Phoenix: Isn't Vancouver getting ripped off in that deal though ?

Calgary: CLOUTIER??? WOW! I'm glad to see him out of my division!

Minnesota [Bill]: Seriously! That's what I'm saying. Cloutier has been my NEMESIS over the last few years. Crazy trade. Can't believe Vancouver would move him!

Evan: simple. hes gonna be a ufa. and he cant afford him. y not get a decent goalie cheaper

Minnesota [Bill]: Oh wow, he's UFA is he? Interesting. Didn't notice that.

Dustin: Yeah go Canada! Crosby scores on his second attempt, one more reason that Crosby>Ovechkin

ECHL Tradecenter: ::: TRADE UPDATE ::: Minnesota trades LW Mark Tobin, MIN 1st Round Pick and CLB 2nd Round Pick to Calgary for LW Nikolai Zherdev.

ECHL Tradecenter: Minnesota has acquired LW Patrick Elias, D Keith Yandle and ECHL8 DAL 2nd Round Pick from Dallas in exchange for LW Nikolai Zherdev and LW Eric Tangradi.

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow! What a deadline day. That was intense but I think I am done.

40 mins to go still though!

Columbus Gm: Well fellow Gm's , i just wanted to congradulate all of you for a great trade dealine , many deals were made to make all of our teams better , some for the short term success and some for long term success . Hope everyone is happy with there changes

Carolina: I think i will keep winning Dallas, sorry...lol

Carolina: Minny just beat Nashville and won, I guess it didn't matter did it..lol

Carolina: Ovechkin=89pts, Crosby=78pts, 11 more points and 7 less games! Hmmmm,ok!

Atlanta: Crosby is too busy playing both ends of the rink, playing a complete game. Ovechkin's skill is amazing, but he's one direction...to the net. He often leaves his team high and dry in the defensive end.

Atlanta: Bottom line, Ovechkin is the best offensive player in the game, Crosby is thebest all around player in the game.

GM of the Avs: ECHL Boston > All other ECHL schmucks.

Calgary: That's pretty *honk*y for a GM who is doomed to miss the playoffs.

GM of the Avs: and oh, where was Canada last time? Oh, right... SEVENTH!!!!!

Boston: Loved all the deals, guys! It shows you're trying, which is going to make my Cup victory even sweeter than I thought.

Phoenix: Hey, The goalie I developed is back on my team now and Calgary you have have one of my others

Phoenix: Plus, I think the biggest news on Trade deadline wasn't the players.. its was more like ... WHAT NASHVILLE DIDNT MAKE A TRADE!

Calgary: Yes they did...read better!

I made a trade with him.

Evan: buzzer beater. weioth literally 4 minutes to go

Minnesota [Bill]: Yeah, nice one Justin! Great write up. Love the jerseys too, nice touch!

Phoenix: Ya, That Spezza jersey is pretty ugly I have to say

GM of the Avs: Ok - Putting Boston and TB together makes sense. But grouping St. Louis with the two big boys in the East? That's not the best thing to say. I'll bet anyone that St. Louis doesn't even make it to the Finals.

Calgary: Ummm...KP, the article was saying they never made trades and that was it. Nowhere was it mentioning that St. Louis was making the finals. You really are a downer.

GM of the Avs: Good luck the rest of the year, Calgary. That's all I can say. GO USA on Sunday!

GM of the Avs: But for the sake of argument, the article was also wondering if a non-move by STL was one of the best moves. To truly measure that, you would need to win a Stanley Cup. So, either way, the argument is flawed. Therefore, if I say StL isn't making the

GM of the Avs: finals, that would mean the Blues' strategy of standing pat was a failure. That's all. No downer.

GM of the Avs: So, Calgary needs to read the article a bit more carefully

Calgary: Colorado needs to learn how to have fun, and stop being such a whiner.

GM of the Avs: Not whining, David. Though your comment might have been funnier had you said "needs to learn how to WIN and not WHINE"

GM of the Avs: Oh, just say it. Dont' keep us in suspense

Calgary: You remind me of the incompetent management of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes...lots to say, but can't manage their team to save their life. I think Jim Balsillie shall attempt to buy the Avs and save them from poor leadership who cheers for other teams.

Calgary: I mean, at least whatever I do, I try to do it to my best ability...you're running in the negative and seem to have no interest in making your team better.

GM of the Avs: While we're at it, Wayne Gretzky: The worst coach ever in hockey history. Overpaid piece of (honk).

Proof: With him gone, they are competitive.

Atlanta: Okay guys, trash talk is fun, but keep it on the ECHL level, not personal. This is supposed to be fun, so no insulting and no sinking to a personal level.

Atlanta: On that, we agree KP. Gretzky was not a coach.

GM of the Avs: Every league needs its Al Davis or Steinbrenner. It makes the league more realistic !

Minnesota [Bill]: Hey Justin, guess the big line needs a few games to "gel"? $:-\$

Tampa Bay GM: Bill, best of luck tomorrow against my team. Hope it's a good game. BATTLE FOR 1st OVERALL in the league. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Minnesota [Bill]: Yes indeed! I'm hoping my new guys can settle in quickly. Best of luck! BATTLE FOR 1st!!!! wooooo

Dustin: I traded Bellamy to him a while ago, he put him on his first line and he scored twice on me.

Phoenix: wow Carolina had 35 shots and lost to LA..lol

Mr. Rangers: Hey Carolina... I have 4 guys in the minors with more points than taveras.

Carolina: no big deal, they are all older as well...lol!

Carolina: I could say i got 21 players in the minors with more points then Brodziak, but well u know...lol

GM of the Avs: ALRIGHT! Now everyone can finally shut up about Team Canada

GM of the Avs: I guess some of you should now be saying USA > Canada... since you were knocking Russia the other night.

GM of the Avs: So, I fully expect Calgary and TB to both say USA > Canada now... based on what they said previously about this " > " stuff

Team Canada: True hockey fans should know not to knock any team until they are officially eliminated...stupid Avs GM.

Team Canada: This guy sounds like he knows nothing about hockey...

GM of the Avs: WOW. Talk about your typical double-standard reaction. When Russia lost that night, it was party time. Now, when Canada lost, it's "go behind a fake name on the zonk" and act as though it's okay to lose.

GM of the Avs: But go ahead, I waiting for both Calgary and TB to say USA > Canada. Go ahead. I'm waiting.

GM of the Avs: And Brodeur sounds like he knows nothing about hockey. Did you hear what he said afterwards??? Something like "I played well...but we got three penalties in a row..." Talk about throwing his teammates under the bus. Stupid Team Canada (for calling me

GM of the Avs: And MR. Team Canada, by your own definition, should you be saying "Stupid TB GM" or "Stupid Calgary GM" too? Go back and read what you wrote, and what they'd written. Talk about double standards.

Minnesota [Bill]: Man, you guys need to chill out. Everyone is going to have their own opinions about who's better so what's the point in arguing about it? and why is it such a big deal?

Minnesota [Bill]: For all I know, KP could think Khazakstan is better than Canada....I dunno. But one thing that's for sure, I wouldn't be losing any sleep over it!

Minnesota [Bill]: Yeah, good game Laurie! Aebischer simply outplayed Turco. Nice win.

Atlanta: I think we need to set up an Olympic zonkboard!

I think everyone is entitled to their opinions, no matter what they are. Miller was better than Brodeur last night. End of story. Move on.

Mr. Rangers: I say we ban KP from the zonk until the olympics are over.

GM Florida: I think I released Bellemy 3 seasons ago... lol

Minnesota [Bill]: Happy Birthday to Anaheim GM Matt Fedunchuk! (even though you didnt reply to my trade offers at the trade deadline)

Phoenix: Phoenix will be a team to watch next year , mark my words

Carolina: Ya Okay Phoenix! You know Carolina will the to watch next year!

Atlanta: YESSS!!! Now everyone can finally shut up about Russia!

Atlanta: The first two letters in OVechkin are also the first two letters of OVerrated.

Carolina: Damn right! Russia is out! They got bitch slapped by the best!

Phoenix: Holy *honk*, would Richards do something already !

Atlanta: It does show the weakest division is the Pacific Division, when that division has one team in the playoffs right now, with 70 points.

Phoenix: Division means nothing, Richards has done better than heatley and Kovalchuk, he is doing better this year and he is not playing with an 80's , when he does.. he came top 3 in the league with 105 points, I don't think Kovalchuk and Heatley have done that

Evan: no. but heatly and kovalchuk r leading a team that has more points then phoenix

Carolina Press: A day off, then the rematch occurs! Last time they faced off, it wasn't pretty! What will happen this time around!!

Mr. Rangers: That save by Luango... although he did let ina weak one earlier to cause the stress...

NYI: I'm good for a double tonight if it is going to happen

Evan: havnt heard from just lately tho. hope he is ok

Chicago Fan: Logan Stephenson scores a Gordie Howe hat trick, goal, assist and fight!

Carolina: He Probably wants to enjoy watching the hockey!

Minnesota [Bill]: SID THE KID!!!! A NATIONAL HERO!!!!

Minnesota [Bill]: All you Team Canada doubters should have your citizenship revoked!

Minnesota [Bill]: Ouch. The "new" offense is struggling to find chemistry!!

Phoenix: lol Iglina gets a hat trick, and nashville pulls a fluke and comes back and wins it

ECHL Insider: Problems in Boston? A loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, coupled with falling behind the arch rival NY Rangers, has GM Jessup steamed.

ECHL Insider: Phoenix struggling? Since moving Koivu to St. Louis, the Coyotes have not found a suitable replacement. A rumour from the Coyotes' merchandising department suggests that a new game will be released...although instead of "Where's Waldo?",

ECHL Insider: the new title will be, "Where's Richards?"

ECHL Insider: Dallas' trade deadline moves have yet to bear the expected fruit in terms of success. Perhaps, Dallas, Minnesota, and Atlanta all forgot a chemistry set with their new acquisitions.

Cliff Coleclough: And while I am at it - eat it Boston. Penguins 3 Boston LOSER!

ECHL Insider: Colorado GM Kp Wee was found sobbing into an Ovechkin jersey after Team Canada crushed the Russians 7-3 in recent Olympic play. It's the closest thing to Ovechkin the Avalanche will see this season.

ECHL Insider: Carolina's struggles continue! With the threat of dead last in the ECHL looming, the Hurricanes don't even have their first round pick to salve the wounds. Will the futility of hockey in hot climates continue? Phoenix, Carolina, and Los Angeles,

ECHL Insider: aside from recent on-ice struggles, are wondering how the ice making bill can be higher than their players' payroll this season?

ECHL Insider: The Rangers are winners of six in a row and sit tied with Tampa Bay at the top of the league standings. When asked why, GM House remarked, "We just pretend that every goalie is Boston's goalie. Seems to work."

ECHL Insider: The Lightning keep on rolling. It appears the threat of shipping players to Syberia if they fail has worked well for GM Schofield.

ECHL Insider: What has happened to the Detroit Red Wings?? Usually a tough opponent, the Wings are seen as two easy points in recent weeks! GM Lacasse declined comment when asked.

Carolina: Had enough 1st round picks last year! Also required even more through trade! Plus I also get a deperssal pick! So I think my team is set! There is next year to get last again for a pick..lol!

Phoenix: This ECHL Insider isn't too bright.. People don't realize what Carolina did, giving up his first rounder for Beinier Ov 75 (best farm goalie) and Tyler Myers Ov 70 19, will was better than anything he will get in the draft

Phoenix: And my team.. Losing Koviu hurt my team, but he wasn't the reason why Richards was doing well, I need Sykora back.

Phoenix: But I do like the information around the league, thank you ECHL Insider

ECHL Insider: Me thinks Phoenix isn't too bright...it's called SATTIRE. Not serious. Thanks for playing.

Phoenix: HAHAHA ..WOW I really would like to know how old you are.

GM of the Avs: I have respect for Cliff and ECHL Insider. They're funny! "Colorado GM Kp Wee was found sobbing into an.." is classic, as is "Pit 3, Boston LOSER"

GM of the Avs: See, there are ways to make it fun on here as opposed to what certain unnamed GMs on here say.

Minnesota [Bill]: We cannot all be sports guru's like yourself, KP! We are trying our best but I fear that we will never live up to your standards!!!!!

GM of the Avs: See, this is what I mean - the comment by Minn is not at all funny. There are certain people on here that are childish, that shall remain unnamed.

GM of the Avs: What Minn is doing is essentially sarcastically mocking my ability to predict hockey winenrs/losers and I have no time for that.

Mr. Rangers: I mock your ability to draft a decent player.

Minnesota [Bill]: KP, you said "Russia > Canada" and "Ovechkin > Crosby". Canada embarrassed Russia and Sid the Kid scored the golden goal. I think a little mocking is justified. hehehe

Johnny Weir: KP, I use it all the time. It's delicious!

Evan: oh this is cheese. justin you should def run two games tonight... or pehaps have your cat go on the keyboard. lol

Cliff Coleclough: KP there is an article in the Toronto Star today about your website. Seriously WTH!

Justin: Justin was on a four hour bus ride last night to a little dump of a rink called Barrington Passage...

Dustin: I love the Pacific, Anaheim is on a 5 game losing streak and still holds the lead by 5 points.

Minnesoat [Bill]: Woooo! Plekanec with the hat trick! Finally getting back on track (I hope).

Phoenix: If I had Naslund and Koviu like before, I would be leading the Pacific, we all know that, But I need to get younger players

Fan: Then you wouldn't have some players you have now?

Dustin: Headbutting major, my player is out for a week and no suspension? Stupid sim.

KP'S #1 FAN: prediction L.A finishes last cause there GM is garbage

Dustin: Last isn't such a bad thing if you have 8 picks.

GM of the Avs: "I love the Pacific, Ana is on a 5 game losing streak and still holds the lead by 5 pts." Really, whats ur point, LA? RAPTORS didnt win during whole olympics and they're no worse off, so does that mean u love the nba?

GM of the Avs: oh wait, now some GMs will crucify me for talking NBA on ECHL Zonk... i never win.

Phoenix: geez, I am out shooting teams now but my goalie can't stop a beach ball

GM of the Avs: Great! I guess we won't see a parade in the desert.

Dustin: My point, KP, is that there is a distinct possibility of Anaheim finishing in 3rd having less points than the team in 8th. That's a pretty weak division.

Phoenix: and your part of that Division Dustin? and Anahiem is doing better than you, so why are you saying anything ?

ECHL Fan: Now Now! Be nice! I wounder if that comment has to do anything with the score between the two teams tonight...

GM of the Avs: Sorry Dustin. I see your point. Apologies.

Evan: echl. come on man. cant you use your real name. so shawn knows whos talking trash. so he can at least talk trash back. or cant you take the heat?

Minnesota [Bill]: Yeah, hiding behind an anonymous alias is soooo weak. Cowardly.

Minnesota [Bill]: 16 goals in my last 3. Woooo! I'm loving the "new" Minny.

Carolina: Minnesota is talking again! They must of won some games in a row...lol!

Carolina: I know tell me about! About time Carolina won a game!...lol! Thanks!

Atlanta: Carolina, your modest one game win streak ends tonight.

GM of the Avs: Mr Evan, I guess your prognosticating skills are about the same as your GM skills!

(but still better than me though

)

ECHL Insider: Kane with a 6 point night for Dallas! Turris with four goals...is this the start of something in the Lone Star State?

Evan: i would have to say your right kp. lololol. and didnt turris get injured by boston? maybe the sim knows payback is a good

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow! Turris with 4 goals over a 10 minute span! THATS impressive.

Phoenix Fan: Phoenix finally getting it settled to make that playoff push ?

Evan: wow\1. as many as 6 teams in the west fighting for 8th spot. this is going to be intense

Carolina: I\m getting better, I got 1 goal on you, last time I didn't get 1!...lol! I usually am more concerned with the farm game anyways! But its good to win both!..lol

Carolina: Good win Phx, but Richards went pointless!....lol

Carolina: Also will try and help you out with a win over SJ tomorrow....lol

Phoenix: Is it just me or do I feel that Anaheim is gonna get kicked out of playoffs and lose his division lead

Phoenix: Its okay if Richards was held pointless, his line still does damage.. I am shocked on how well my 2nd line is finally clicking.. go Statsny,Frolov and O'Sullivan

Phoenix: Geez Dustin, Looks like Raycroft wants to be like Osgood... your goalies love getting points more than saving the puck

Evan: so the ex nashville prospects are tearing it up on dustins team . lol

Atlanta: They're just grateful to be out of Nashville and into a hockey market.

Phoenix: Evan, I think the whole league has ex nashville players/prospects from the many times you traded before..

Minnesota [Bill]: WOW! 8 goals on 25 shots. Crazy! McCabe a +7 in the game. Elias is happy to be back in a Minnesota jersey.

Woooo GO MINNY!

Phoenix: Watch minny do well for the rest of the season then get swept..lol

Minnesota [Bill]: Watch Phoenix talk about how amazing Richards is and then miss the playoffs...lol

Calgary: Who cares about individual players? Minny is running away with the conference, while Phoenix languishes. Who cares about one player?

GM of the Avs: Wow - talk about arrogance of some people. Inheriting a powerhouse team and making it a middle-of-the-pack team entitles a rookie GM to make so much noise. Wow.

GM of the Avs: And I certainly hope some people don't start using the "I try my best in everything I do while you don't" card. That just shows an attitude of superiority that is not justified.

GM of the Avs: Besides, Phoenix is 2 points away from getting the third seed. Calgary will finish where they are. So I wonder why someone uses the word "languishes." Again, talk about unwarranted arrogance.

Calgary: I think you missed the whole point of the conversation, personally. If you care to look at context, I was referring to the fact that one player does not a team make. The only arrogance I see here comes from someone who just looks to cause trouble.

Phoenix: Calgary whatever you say is just annoying.. The whole Richards thing is between Bill and I, plus everyone already knows you kill Calgary.

Evan: OMG KP. YOU ARE THE MAN. honestly tho shawn. he did receive a stacked team. but who cares. hes molding it into his own. its no fun to inherit a stacked team and not do anything with it. trades is what makes the league fun

Atlanta: I think everyone needs to chill and remember this is fantasy? Who among us is getting paid to GM a team? Let's keep it fun, guys.

GM of the Avs: I'm sorry, Dustin. Now the race in the Pacific is really intriguing. I now fully see your point about the Ducks. Sorry again. I jumped the gun too soon.

Minnesota [Bill]: Monday Night: Atlanta (5 game winning streak) vs. Minny (6 game winning streak). Who will prevail? Or will it be another lackluster tie like last time?

Phoenix: Florida.. I use to be the hard dog to face in that Division... I just decided its tiime to rebuild.

Minnesota [Bill]: Justin: you vote tie? how does a 0-0 final score sound? hehe..

Atlanta: If it were up to me, I'd rather see 14-0 for Atlanta

ECHL Insider: Minnesota faces their arch rival in Dan Cloutier tonight! Cloutier loves playing againt Minny!

Phoenix: Speaking of win streaks, Phoenix and Tampa Bay goes against each other with both on winning streaks of 4 and 5

ECHL Insider: St. Louis has clinched a playoff berth for the first time in at least 4 seasons! GM Emily Kiezebrink has rebuilt the team and has led her team into the postseason!!!

Minnesota [Bill]: Nice job Emily! Amazing turn around.

Minnesota [Bill]: Good game Justin! I just barely squeeked out the win. 7 IN A ROW FOR MINNY!!!! Woooooooo

Rod Blagojevich: KP is an honest character. I support KP

Mussolini: Don't mess with KP. You mess with KP. You'll mess with me.

Calgary: This league is a gong show...wow...and I'm yelled at for mass emailing the league? Double standards.

Chuck Barris: If this is The Gong Show - where are the Popsicle Twins?

Atilia the Hun: Hale to the almighty and rigtheous KP

Mr. Rangers: I have known KP for quite some time, and I just want to defend him in this case. Yes, he is a paranoid android. Yes, he is irritating beyond belief most of the time. Yes, he is a very poor Sim General manager. Where was I going with this again? Never mind

Minnesota [Bill]: GOOOO MINNY! 8 STRAIGHT WINS! BOOOOOYA!

Minnesota [Bill]: There is quite a race for the calder trophy this season! Who will it be? Turris? Clowe? Raymond?

Minnesota [Bill]: Art Ross trophy is still up for grabs as well....its gonna be a tight race.

Minnesota [Bill]: Ahhh...right the sim is on crack again. So who are the "real" rookies that are in contention?

Phoenix: Viktor Tikhonov, Rene Bourque, Alex Burrows , Kris Versteeg , David Moss , Kyle Brodziak... I ain't sure but I think Turris is as well. I don't know how many games he played last year

Chicago Fan: Hey what about goalies? Why are they not being consider!

Minnesota [Bill]: hahaha Conrad... you talking about "The Monster" Gustavsson? 17-24-4. 1 shut out. 2.94 GAA and .887 SV%. Not exactly stellar numbers man. No offense!

Minnesota [Bill]: or...after a 2nd look.... maybe you are talking about Halak....hahaa...oops...yeah his numbers are pretty good!

Minnesota [Bill]: Goooo Turco! Closing the gap in the 2 horse race for the Vezina!

Minnesota [Bill]: ....and with our 9th straight win, Minnesota has clinched the Western Conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edmonton: Anyone know if there are 2 sets of games being run this evening?????

Minnesota [Bill]: I think in Justin's email he said if there were no major objections then he would go ahead and run 2 games. Not sure if there were any or not.

Minnesota [Bill]: 10 STRAIGHT!!!! WOOOOooo. Columbus continues their dominance over Nashville. ?

ECHL Insider: Congratulations to Atlanta for clinching a playoff berth for the first time in three seasons! If Cloutier gets hot, they could be a difficult team to play against.

ECHL Insider: This gonna be an interesting 5 games left as Anaheim,Edmonton Dallas and Phoenix Battle for the last two spots in the West

Evan: kudos to emily. congrats!!! nashvill;e hasnt been this far down in the standings for a while!!

Phoenix: Just like how the leafs couldn't beat the Islanders ?

Phoenix: I have already said.. I am the leafs of the ECHL, I some how beat the good teams but lose to the bad ones

Phoenix: WOW, Why can't my coyotes be as good in this as good as they are in the NHL.. 1 win from leading the West !!!

Phoenix: Evan,Matt and Dustin.. I told you Bryzgalov is better than Nabokov

Carolina: Because the Coyotes GM in the NHL is better!....lol

Carolina: WTF u talking about leafs/islanders! I'm talking about ECHl not NHL!...lol

Carolina: Nashiville's time is coming to an end!...lol

Carolina: u still could get it, if you lose all your games and I win them all

Evan: Wow, what do i gotta do now to beat columbus. lmfao

Phoenix: I think goals should be turned up a bit more.. if we are trying to compare this to the NHL

Phoenix: Wow I am the only team in my division that has more GF than GA

Minnesota [Bill]: COME ON NAHSVILLE!!! BRUTAL@!! hahaa..... you're ruining my 1st rounder!!!! hahahah

Minnesota [Bill]: Turco is BACK ON TOP baby!!! WOoooooo

Philly GM: Ok Islanders I need you to beat Pittsburgh tomorrow to keep my playoff hopes alive. Don't let me down!

Carolina: Philly u had to win and you didn't! Thanks for the tie!

St. Louis: Dustin, we need a big win from you tonight...don't take a loss from a team who has had their owner tossed in jail.

Minnesota [Bill]: Evan was tossed into jail? huh? Did I miss something here? haha

Minnesota [Bill]: Proposed ECHL draft changes = DO NOT WANT.

Carolina: Dustin make sure you lose tonight, there still is that small chance!

Dustin: I doubt there's much 'making sure' to be done, although nashville does keep losing to columbus.

Boston: I don't like it either, Bill, but rules is rules. I vote in favour.

Columbus Gm: I think they mean you were tossing salad. lol

Evan: no. apparently the real nhl nashville gm is in jail

Philly GM: NOOOOOOOO!! 4 straight seasons as GM. And no playoffs. The Philly fans aren't too pleased!!!

Phoenix: Well Brent you need a goalie and RW for starters

Philly GM: i got lundqvist. he's been good for me. i do need a rw though.

ECHL Insider: Dallas Stars clinch a post season berth! Congrats to Dallas!

Minnesota [Bill]: Turco injured. Yikes. Could've been worse. Scary stuff. haha. Rick, you're lucky! I'm gonna have to start Kipper tomorrow.

Minnesota [Bill]:

Minny is 28-6-4 in our last 38 games.

Minnesota [Bill]: Wooooo! Zonk is back. Now I can gloat about winning the draft lottery! heheheh

Atlanta: You can have the lottery...I'll take the Cup.

Minnesota [Bill]: I can't remember who it is who does the Flash banner. Anyone? Whoever it is, much appreciated.

Evan: OH MAN IM POLAYING RICHARD.. BRING ON THE BROOMS. NASHVILLES GOT AN EASY RIDE

NYI: The Rangers are going to be tough, hopefully they under estimate the Isles

Minnesota [Bill]: So playoffs are starting tonight??!!!!??? Oooohhhh.... sooo excited! GOOOO MINNY!

Mr. Rangers: Good luck NYI! The subway series is back!

Evan: and no im not going to play hockey with those kids

Minnesota [Bill]: Close game Conrad! Halak almost outdueled Turco!

Minnesota [Bill]: Tanguay (Atl) with the Hat Trick! Wow. He's supposed to be passing the puck! Atlanta looking strong with Cloutier in net. If I'm Boston, I'm worried.

Boston: You're not Boston. You can tell by counting your Cup rings, now go worry about your own series!!

* Boston flexes his muscles and serves up his angry eyes.

Boston: This is my reward for giving you a freebie? Screen cap that so you can CHEW ON IT IN 4 GAMES.

Minnesota [Bill]: hahhaha I love the heated playoff trash talking. Awesome.

Atlanta: Boston talks a big game, but he is all flash and no smash

Montreal: good ole keith primeau still having the legs after 2 OT's, whew

Atlanta: Easy to have fresh legs when he's been sitting for most of the game! BURN!

Atlanta: And Atlanta has a stranglehold on Boston...two more wins and the Bruins fold for another season!

St. Louis: And St. Louis evens their series...good luck Jordan looks like it will be a long one!

BBJ KP: Detrot GM 13, Cliff 12, Mr. Rangers 10 (you took Tigers - they not playing) - see you next Tuesday

Atlanta Dispatch: It has been a long time coming, but the Thrashers are poised to win their first ever playoff series, as they hold a 3-0 series lead over the Boston Bruins.

St. Louis Post: The Blues seem intent on making a splash this postseason, as they have rallied with two wins after losing Game One to the Dallas Stars.

NYI: This might be the only time I lead in this series, go Isles GO

Boston: Bye-bye over-achieving Rangers! Bye. Bye. lol. love it.

Cliff Coleclough: Mr.Bruins there is no need for being petty like this. That's not very nice

Boston: FYI that was not the real Boston. The real Boston has never used "lol". Ever.

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Conrad, what a tight series. All 1 goal margins so far. 2-2. INTENSE! GOOOOOOO MINNY!

Chicago Fan: Woo Hoo!!! Now a best of 5. Go Hawks!!!!

Phoenix: No, Sim isn't broken, just Nashville is overrated

Minnesota [Bill]: Woooooo! Turco steals a game JUST at the right time. PHEW!

Minnesota [Bill]: Nashville JUST squeeks out the victory in double OT. Wow.

Chicago Fan: Good game Bill...Mike Fisher is back for the next one...

Minnesota [Bill]: Yeah, I noticed that. Fisher went from CD73 3W to perfect health overnight. Lucky you.

NYI: rangers are on the ropes, lets see if they have anything left for the road

Chicago: Got to love the sim... 3W overnight, he must have been eating his Wheaties!

Cliff Coleclough: Penguins the first team to be eliminated. I hope i's the exact opposite with this years NHL

Chicago: Is looking for a big win tonight to push a game 7. Go Hawks!

Tampa Bay GM: I would like to thank Pittsburgh for a good series and season. Hope to see u next season

Chicago: Go Rangers, Go Boston, Go Florida, Go Edmonton, Go Dallas, Go Vancouver, Go Chicago, Let's see them all go to 7

Atlanta: As Atlanta GM, I must disagree with the cheering for Boston. I do NOT want to see Game 7.

Atlanta: Smoke and mirrors to hide the fact the 1st in the West is on the verge of C-O-L-L-A-P-S-E.

Atlanta Dispatch: They score!!! This one's done! The Boston Bruins are out! The Atlanta Thrashers move on!

Chicago: Good series Bill... had you nervous for a bit there... Good luck to the teams that advance... Cheers

Atlanta GM: We in the Thrashers camp would like to extend our appreciation to Boston for a fine series. Good series, GM Jessup!

Minnesota [Bill]: Thanks Conrad. Good series man, I was a little nervous there to be honest.

Minnesota [Bill]: Some big upsets in the Eastern Conference! Congrats To ATL, NYI and MTL who are all moving onto the 2nd round with huge wins tonight.

Evan: YES. KOVALCHUK IS FINALLY PRODUCING IN THE PLAYOFFS

MOnteal: Yep 2 3 and 4 seeds gone in the east, tampa must love that also but underdogs will prevail

Atlanta: Atlanta vs. Minnesota in the Finals, so Cloutier can haunt Bill once again.

Mr. Rangers: Cograts NYI. Well deserved. Good luck the brest of the way!

Mr. Rangers: Due to NY bing superior to Boston... even though NY was eliminated... NY still has a chance for the cup! Eat it Boston! Only in your dreams could Boston be this powerful.

Evan: oh, u better beleive im next. and i cant wait to bring out the flaming brooms!!!!!

Calgary GM: Too bad you're gonna be the one crying in four.

ECHL Insider: Second Round Predictions: Isles in 7, Atlanta in 6, St. Louis in 6, and Nashville in 5

Minnesota [Bill]: I think it's pretty obvious by now that "ECHL Insider" = Emily (St. Louis GM). hehehe. Good luck in our series Emily, it should be a good tilt! I think our offense prettty much maches up...I think it will come down to Turco vs Vokoun!

Minnesota [Bill]: HAHHAHA THAT BANNER IS AMAZINGGGGGGG. Who is responsible for this awesomeness????

Evan: mark... former vancouver gm does it. and its awesome

Minnesota [Bill]: Weak. Why not just post predictions under your own name? Here, like this for example: TB in 4. Atl in 7. Min in 7. Nas in 5.

Minnesota [Bill]: Sorry, man! Just a prediction.

Nothing personal.

NYI: need to fnd out what happen to Koivu out 1M hoping for a Chicago healng meds

Minnesota [Bill]: Matt Cullen smashed him into the boards at 17:38 of the 1st period. I'm pretty sure that would be 1 game max if you can get your hands on a box of those Wheaties that Chicago had.

Atlanta GM: Well, the Islanders are on their way...would anyone dare predict an Atlanta/NY Islanders conference final? Long ways to go yet though.

Atlanta GM: Montreal and Tampa would be interesting...simply because Montreal had Tampa's number last year.

Chicago: GREAT BANNER... tee off in alphabetical order...

Montreal: I agree Montreal and Tampa would be good, lol

Atlanta GM: Hahaha...Atlanta and Isles would be good too.

Evan: sow ith a first round exit. i guess the bruins should be active next season

Atlanta GM: I wonder if Boston will allow Atlanta to hold their parade through Beantown...we'll let the Bruins see the Cup from the first row.

Carolina: Love the banner with the golf tees..lol! Awsome!

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow! Islanders are making me eat my words and I love it! Huge upset playing without Koivu against the "power house" TBay.

Minnesota [Bill]: Kovalchuk on a 2 point-per-game pace! Wow. Impressive.

Evan: gooo nashville. kovalchuk is finally proving himself..... showing that my paitence in him wasnt moronic

Tampa Bay GM: Congrats to Atlanta on advancing to the Eastern Conference final

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Atlanta is though with the SWEEEEEEP! Impressive! Congrats, Justin!

NYI: Thats OK TB, The Isles are always in for the long haul

ECHL Fan: So...Colorado GM...has Atlanta earned any of your respect now? They're in the Conference Final.

Minnesota [Bill]: Goooooooooo Minny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phoenix: Chris Stewart should be an Ov 80 for me next year

Atlanta GM: And there will be two Game 7s tomorrow night!

Evan: WOW KOVALCHUK CAME OUT TO PLAY AGAIN.. geeeeez can we say playoff mvp??? whenever the opposition shuts down kovi, i lose

Minnesota [Bill]: Good series Emily. Great job turning around the St. Lous franchise this year. Excited for two Game 7's tomorrow night! Wooo.. Go Calgary! Go Islanders!

Minnesota [Bill]: Evan, I know you're hitting refresh every 0.02 seconds. hahaha

Minnesota [Bill]: Well, the underdogs gave it a good run but the favourites prevailed. Evan, see you in the conference finals!

Minnesota [Bill]: Strange. Kovalchuk scored his 9th in the game results. But the Scoring Leaders shows him having 10 goals.

Tampa Bay GM: Would like to thank the Islanders for an awesome 7 game series. Great series my friend

Minnesota [Bill]: Oh Its onnnnn like donkey konggg....beeeeotch!

NYI: Thanks TB, that was a great series, good luck the rest of the way

Phoenix: Turco can't handle the offensive power of Nashville

Evan: nobody can.. cant blame bill for being silent either. lol

Minnesota [Bill]: REEEEEEEEEELAX. it's not over till the fat lady sings! (somebody call Rita McNeil, we're gonna need her soon).

Minnesota [Bill]: I give up. Kovalchuk scores a hatty against McCabe, Bouwmeester and Turco.

Minnesota [Bill]: Good series? A sweep? C'mon dude. Not even close. lol Brutal. Kovalchuk is not human.

Tampa Bay GM: It's not over Justin, long ways to good yet

ECHL Reporter: Nashville advances to the Cup Final for the first time in franchise history. The Predators now await the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals.

ECHL Reporter: In the East, the Atlanta Thrashers have rallied from a 2-0 series deficit thanks to a superb effort by Jarome Iginla. That series is deadlocked 2-2, with Game 5 going tonight!

Atlanta GM: Looks like Tampa and Nashville in the Finals...unless I find a miracle.

Atlanta GM: He's just happy to be out of the Western Conference, and away from Nashville, who will finish second regardless of who is playing you.

Minnesota [Bill]: Evan, what were you saying about Tanguay? lol wow. Huge win for Atlanta!

Atlanta GM: Tanguay scores!!!! WOOOOO!!!! When I needed him the most!

Atlanta GM: Good series, Laurie...epic battle. Good luck in the finals!

Tampa Bay GM: Thanks, it was a great series. Looking forward to the finals

Atlanta GM: Finals start Tuesday, guys! Give everyone time to prepare their lines for what promises to be a fabulous final! Good luck to both!

Tampa Bay GM: My last two series have gone the full 7 games. Evan, i really hope this series is a classic. I'm looking forward to it. Best of luck Evan

Evan: my last series i swepted the best regular season team in the west. now the preds are looking to slay the top dragon of the east. good luck

Tampa Bay GM: I'm up for a challange. Come on Tuesday

Evan: i tihnk were ready now. justin start it up on monday. lmao

Atlanta GM: Justin will start it when he feels like it

Evan: so wait. r games tonight? or are they toommorrow?

Cliff Coleclough: If this Finals were the real Finals, I can't imagine how bad ratings would be.

Evan: with a gm as amazing as me. ratings would be off the roof

Carolina: you do that then you will have to wait another 3 years before you can win the cup

Minnesota [Bill]: Wow. Nashville looking strong with 5 straight wins. Kovalchuk is a man on a mission. Conn Smythe is locked down without any question.

Evan: apparently the winner chooses the con smythe. so its not really a lock just yet. and since the system lets you pick the con smythe. i am going to pick my con smythe being colton orr!!!

Phoenix: Stop picking *honk*ty leafs as the con smythe winner

Carolina: I think his goalie should get some consideration for con smythe?

Carolina: But why is everyone jumping the gun! He hasn't won the cup yet!...lol

Evan: no one is jumpin the gun. remember nashville has flopped hard core before

ECHL Insider: Tampa's goaltending is letting them down.

ECHL Insider: Aebischer is choking under the pressure.

Minnesota [Bill]: reeeelax. you're lucky kovalchuk finally decided to play to his potential after flopping for 2 years.

Phoenix: The day I am jealous over a sim league Evan, we all know I know hockey better than you

Evan: please. i am the hockey statistic guru. from year 2000 up. and i already proved it to you. remember all those times in ur basement in bolton. i proved u guys wrong. gooo me

ECHL Fan: Phoenix thinks he knows hockey better than Evan...yet its Evan playing for the Cup, while Phoenix is not in the playoffs...hmm

Phoenix: So what does hockey knowledge have to do with a sim League?, if this was NHL , my team is already better than his, Evan you have never proved me wrong, proving matt and dustin wrong is easy, and if u have proved me wrong, I have proved you wrong too

Evan: i proved u wrong with 29 teams. u proved me wrong with the team that doesnt count. l.a kings. lol

Evan: really. proving matt and dustin wrong is as easy as telling a dodo bird to get extinct

Evan: 4 more hours till possible destiny. lol.. i cant wait till i see what kp comments about this on facebook

Phoenix: Geez, I wonder if Evan is gonna act like this when the leafs make the playoffs again..

Carolina: thats the reason you can't play hky Evan bc you wants to see if u win the cup?

Dustin: wtf shots were 19-17 what kind of playoff game is that

Los Angeles Fan: Strong criticism from a perennial non-playoff team. We LA fans deserve better and want to know when we can see playoff hockey!!

Justin Bieber: The fact TB is there, proves Mark wasn't skilled as a GM - it's all about the SIM. gooooooo nashvillee

Evan: man. u cant stop kovalchuk. but your shutting every other line down. lol

Tampa Bay GM: Don't care what any other GM thinks, this has been an awesome series. How fitting is going to a 7th game. Best of luck tomorrow night Evan

Justin Bieber: oh crap evan. WTF have you done? dude - don't do this to me!

Tampa Bay GM: It's a 1 game showdown for the Cup. What a way to finish off the year

Evan: man. and kovalchuk is still on a 13 game point streak after all this too. geez come on nashville

ECHL Insider: I put my money on Nashville. No team in the E has blown a 3-0 series lead before. I don't think it will start now. Kovalchuk with a monster performance tonight.

ECHL Insider: And to LA and Phoenix...its only considered a blown lead if they lose, before you get all technical.

Evan: lol. funny, but there both on my side. dont know how its happening. but its all good. tonight will be interesting

Phoenix: ECHL Insider please don't include me in your annoying posts... Thanks

ECHL Insider: The only annoying thing is the expert talk from non-playoff teams.

Mr. Rangers: at least we now know that mark had nothing to do with TB winning... The sim just loves TB

Evan: congrats tampa... kovi for son smythe. lol.. good series. good come back

Evan: i'd to thank all the echl gms for another great year. justin thanks alot for never taking a break. thanks to bill for the easy series to get me ready.. guys have a great offseason. look for to the next year..!!!!

Justin Bieber: Wow - evan. There's no excuse. I totally supported you and you have the gall to do this to me. Shameful

Cliff Coleclough: evan - you are like the 1975 Penguins. Too bad. So close to being like the 91, 92 and 09 Pens. Crazy stuff.

Justin Bieber: I am still in shock. I couldn't throw that baseball properly last night as a result of all of this.

Spaceman: Tonight, I'd like to talk about the chaos in Greece and the BP Oil fiasco

Minnesota [Bill]: A little late here (moved, had no internet for a week)...

Minnesota [Bill]: but Congrats to TBay! Wow, what a series!!!! Thanks to Justin for all his hard work this season. Looking forward to the re-rates, draft, etc...

Atlanta GM: Everyone get their votes in! One more day!

Minnesota [Bill]: Minnesota is looking to acquire 1st round draft picks. Plenty of young prospects available. Ie; C/LW Josh Bailey ov75 (21yrs), D Alex Plante ov75 (21 yrs), D Ty Wishart ov75 (21 yrs).

Minnesota [Bill]: ECHL DRAFT IS TONIGHT (MONDAY JULY 12th) @ 8pm ET. Who's ready? I know I am.

Phoenix: Just for the record, If Kovalchuk signs with LA... Evan has to freely give me Kovalchuk...

Evan: trade king def showed up tonight. only having one pick. leavintg with 7 new prospects. without effecting my pro team... damn im good

Evan: agreed. but what was i suppose to do. let you and dustin have all the fun? lol
