Best Fantasy Season Ever!

After much thought, this is without a doubt our best and most interesting season in Fantasy Hockey League in 14 years we have had it. From the 1st day on the waiver draft I knew it. Kovalhcuk was traded for 3 picks and that became the first ever trade during the Waiver Draft. Executioners started off 4-0 and is now tied for the worst record. The Snipers started off 0-4 and now has the best record in the east. Even the Slashers started off 0-5 and really turned his season around by acquiring Cammalleri. You had the spiders set a record with 9 consecutive losses in a row and another record most guys hurt and on IR at the same time and that was about 110, just kidding.

Surpisingly the Scrubs and Grumpy's two teams last year that missed the playoffs are both in the top 3 in the FHL. Evgeni Malkin got traded twice in the same week. First the Flyers traded him to the Slashers. Then slashers traded Malkin, Little for Crosby finally back on his team along with Richards and a pick. Which right now is #1 or 2 overall.

We had our first 3 way trade ever happen. It involved the Flyers, Slashsers and ItsAllover. And it inlcuded players like Boyes, Lecavalier, Malkin and draft picks. Other top stars traded this year. Parise, Savard, Frolov, Gaborik, Zetterberg, Kipprussof, Fleury, Turco, Miller, Phaneuf, Staal, Stastny, Backstrom, Green and Cammalleri. All big stars moved before our trade deadline. If you missed out on acquiring a big name. Shame, shame on you.

There is so many teams tied with the same record or a game out of a playoff spot. Almost everything is going to go down to the final week and most likely the final night on Sunday on Week 22. After this week the MalagaRoad Flyers have 2 games left. The Spiders and Executioners. He has the spiders pick and that pick is tied for being the 1st overall pick for Jonathan Tavares. The Slashers own the Executioners pick. If the spiders and executioners finished wit a tied record. The spiders would finish last because the executoners won the season series 2-0!

The icing on the cake of this great season is there was no fights this year. Which is another first for our league.
