Scores and Standings 5/7 and Oh why do I even bother?

Anyone else sick of seeing Derek rake in the points while the rest of us get jack squat? That's what I thought. The saddest part is, I got EVERYONE I wanted on my team during the draft. Every single player I wanted, I got. And yet...

Scores and Standings, Coyotes financially bankrupt, Bettman mentally, morally bankrupt

The Phoenix Coyotes have filed for bankruptcy. Meanwhile the NHL is taking over their operations (anti-trust lawsuit from Canadian/original six fans and teams, anyone?) and further still, Jim Ballsillie is offering 212.5 million dollars for the team, provided he can move them. Gary Bettman's response to all this? He refused to discuss timetables for a withdrawal from Ira--I mean Phoenix, then stuffed his fingers in his ears and shouted "Lalalalalalalalalalala!"

To further prove that the NHL knows what it's doing, its referees waved off a legitimate goal by the Red Wings last night.

Too bad the NHL isn't in the same situation Montreal is. We could stand to have Bettman and the entire gaggle of NHL referees due to become UFA's (unemployed) at the end of the season.

Scores and Standings 5/5

Happy May the Fifth, everyone. What a night last night. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin make the hype all worth it, each scores a hat trick, and the result is Derek shoots up to first friggin place! Seriously. A 13 point night from just two players. The only bright side to this (for the rest of us) is that Derek loses either Crosby or Ovechkin at the end of this round. Please Lord let it be a sweep! If this thing goes seven games Derek may just earn enough points to not even need them from the Conference or Stanley Cup finals.
