With Stajan's assist tonight, Han is the first person to get a point out of every single one of his players, including reserves!

In fact, one of the reasons I didn't immediately get excited about Kreegs's announcement that College games will be broadcast in Canada was because I'm spoiled by such a good local team—the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL, home to Nathan Mackinnon, Jonathan Drouin, Jakub Voracek, Brad Marchand, and further back, Alex Tanguay and J.S. Giguere.
I dont have any minor league teams here given that I live in the metro area, but the college hockey scene in Minnesota is better than anywhere else in the country.

Kitroplious and Han each picked up around 4 points tonight, but that was about it. Han became the first person to get a point out of each of his players (including reserves), and the lone hold-out Kong finally had a player (Stastny) miss a game.

Here's the updated sheet.

Just you wait. That injury bug will eat your team alive. I'm surprised that I still have 7 players that can play!

Hey Slurm, Drouin was recalled to the Lightning in advance of tonight's game against the Oilers. It's the only game on the menu tonight, but with Edmonton's NHL-leading goals-against, it could turn into an ugly scene (and a lucrative one for anyone who has Stamkos in the pool...).

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov is suspended indefinitely from all club activities, while the NHL investigates on his domestic arrest that happened this morning.

Updated pool sheet.

Slurm is the only person whose first pick is doing better than his second pick.

Kreegs joined the "every active player has a point" club, with Datsyuk returning to the lineup. Kitroplious and Clay are still waiting, the former due to Dan Boyle, the latter due to a few offenders.

Kong managed to cling to his 1-point lead over Slurm in a high-scoring night for everyone's teams! Han took over third, and Vic is close behind him.

There are more opportunities for big points tomorrow! My main chance is the Giroux vs. Malkin game, but I also have Hall in action against the Caps.

About time that he played a game! I was getting worried. Now I just need my guys to start contributing!

On a side note, I still think it is really strange that the Wild have only played 4 games. (Same with the Penguins). Some teams have played 8!

Perry had another hat-trick last night to make up for your other guys not producing as much as you wanted, Kreegs.

Tonight, I have Okposo in action against the Bruins, Malkin vs. Zetterberg, Sharp against the Preds, and Pavelski against the Jackets. I think Stastny's still injured, so he'll miss a good scoring opportunity against the Canucks.

It's a big night for kitroplious, as he has the Kings against the relatively soft Sabres (who are 1-6).
