DVJ's probably gonna get delisted I think. Fiorini's a gun though, without a doubt one of the most underrated players to come from last year's draft class.

Alright guys, so I'm going to be out of the house between 5pm today and Monday midday so will struggle to do the scores, and Nige is busy too so he won't be able to do them either, meaning the official scores will be late. What I will do is post my scores 'workbook' here so you can easily see where things are at as of last update and can fill in the blanks when you see fit. I'll try and get them up tomorrow night sometime...

;D

[Jukes]

So Anaheim and Boston get up, with Carolina to host Anaheim next week. I'll do the actual write-ups and week thread and stuff tomorrow, as very hard-pressed for time atm.

[elephants]

I'd like to use Jukercoach scoring next week - Riewoldt and Ross got screwed today!

[Jukes]

1st Semi Final: Chicago Sharks 16.14.110 lost to Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.9.111
(Real: 1640 vs 1659)

Big surprise here - if I'd have played the ducks this week I'd have gotten up! But back to the game, Chicago have had a rotten end to the season and will be thankful it's over before any serious damage took place. The Ducks march onto the preliminary final, and, despite some good scores of late, not many people will be backing them against this roaring Panthers outfit. A lot of horrific scores for the Sharks came late (Kerridge 41, Menzel 18, Yeo 61, Gaff 44) to cruelly deny them a win that they probably deserved, while for Anaheim old man Enright was the match-winner.

Best
Chicago: Lynch, Parker, Tyson, McDonald, Wells
Anaheim: Enright, Hannebery, Greene

2nd Semi Final: Boston Terriers 19.10.124 defeated Carolina Panthers 18.10.118
(Real: 1858 vs 1768)

As expected, Boston get up in a relatively tight contest - if only Day and Grimley (32 and 23) had stood up, they probably would have won. Interestingly, both winners this week had less 100+ scorers than the losers - although Boston shouldn't be alarmed by this at all, having had half-a-dozen in the 90s - but they'll be hoping Robbie Gray does better in the future than his dismal 53, and that Vice-Captain Pendlebury isn't too hurt. Rioli put in a delicious display for the Panthers, with good help from some teammates, but 5 scores (including the sub) under 55 just won't cut it this late in the season.

Best
Boston: Priddis, Hurn, Goldstein, Cotchin
Carolina: Rioli, Bontempelli, Martin, Mumford, Boyd

Say goodbye to a ton of points by Pendles, Priddis, Goldy and co. then ;) but enjoy the week off!

[elephants]

Geez it was close, happy to get the win and the week off! Hoping the Pies rest Pendles this week. Also when the hell will I learn to name a sub?!

Hahaha and I assume all those points you are taking away will go to Watts?
