Miscellaneous

Hey guys, just a quick refresher: 1. The season ends on Sunday April 10th. 2. Trading resumes on Monday April 11th. 3. Free Agents can only be picked up until (this word has been bolded for certain ppl. You know who you are) Sunday April 10th. After that, there is a free agent freeze. 4.A snap shot of everyone’s roster will be taken at the end of the year as these are the players that will be available at the WAIVER draft (even those you don’t protect or resign). These players will be at their salary plus applicable increase (or not, depending on the season they had). i think that’s it for now, i will edit this post if i think of anything i missed.

With the first place all but sealed to Yoshi’s Cookies (let me be the first to congratulate you on your wonderful year and first SFHL title since the inception of the league in 2008). You have done a wonderful job in drafting some key players that many did not expect to have such monstrous years. And, you have done this by turning over your team atleast twice, and in so doing also trading away some key members of your team. I congratulate you. However, there is still a race for 2nd place with Patriots holding the fort going into the last week with a 9 point lead. Good luck to both teams. The 4th place is still not assured, as 1 point stands between HL in 4th and Goodfellas in 5th. This is interesting to watch as the stretch run is upon us. Who will win the first ever BONBONNIERE PRIZE for finishing in fourth place? And perhaps the most important question is: Who really wants to win first ever bonbonnier prize? The last battle, that is also intriguing to mention, is the battle for 3rd last overall between MX, MAG, and PUN. 6 points is the total difference between PUN in 11th and MX in 13th, with MAG in 12th 5 points ahead of MX. This battle for third suckiness has been ongoing for the last 3 weeks, with some surprising pick-ups and line-up changes. Although far from the bottom two teams (which were expected to finish bottom 2 – sorry ON7 and UM), this third overall pick could be a key factor for these three teams for the future to come. Perhaps it is a battle that will be questioned by many in terms of the tactics, and future rule changes will be included to avoid this, but until then, let’s enjoy the stretch run and see who finishes 3rd last in the pool. As it has been mentioned by one GM in the 2009 season in multiple occasions “Show me where in the rule book this is wrong. If it doesn’t specifically say it in the rules, it is fair game”. I would make reference to the Vince Rule adopted in 2009. See you all at the finish line. Enjoy the last week of the NHL regular season. Can’t wait for Playoff hockey to start. Go HABS GO, and for the other GM’s in the league not HABS fans, Go Hawks and Bruins (even though it kills me as a habs fan to write this in this blog) Regards, Franco Mucci GM and President of the Punishers Acting member of the SFHL board members

Hello boys! I just wanted to give you a little update. As some of you already know I no longer work at Deloitte. The move was not completely unexpected, but still stings a little. All this to say that if you try to email me at my D&T address it will obviously bounce back to you. For any future email chains, trade request or useless banter please use achillemarra@yahoo.ca. This is the email that is attached to my iphone so you should get a quick response. Thanks a lot guys, see you soon!

Ok so i tried to go find a Team Canada jersey after they won the gold medal and, nada. On Monday, no Bay stores had ANY CANADA Gear…. So i settled for a cap at a store that just sells caps at Carrefour laval… Olympic Champion cap no less.. What do you guys think?

Effective very soon, Roger Reinoso will be taking over UM.

Posted on behalf of Marco: Hello fellow GMs, I will be resigning as GM of the Ultra Maroons. I sincerely apologize for my actions this afternoon.  I’ve directly apologized to Anthony and he graciously accepted my apology. I was not forced into this decision by anyone, nor is my decision to resign the result of anyone’s comments. Danny is named the interim GM, and will contact you all shortly regarding the future of the franchise.  The Ultra Maroons will remain intact, and no roster moves will be made until another GM is appointed. Thank you for having me in the SFHL.  It’s been fun. Marco Commissioner’s Note: I am extremely disappointed in what has occured. However, what’s done is done and I will be contacting Roger in order to see if he wants to take over Marco’s team. If that doesn’t happen and he wants to still have an expansion team, then at the end of the year Marco’s players get dispersed into the waiver pool (with any applicable increase). Therefore next year we will be at 15 teams once again.

Basically I just want to say no more trading until the day after the last regular season game. – but you can still drop players – you can still auction players Please don’t forget to do your lineup changes for next week or you will be fined as per the rules. These trades all look fair so i dont think there will be any vetoing.. so you can even post them now if you want.. just put a condition on it “conditional on all trades going through”

The GM of Montreal Xtreme has sold his team to Anthony Campanella, who initially was rewarded a franchise for the 2010-11 season. The Terms of the deal are as follows: $30 payable to Anthony Macri Anthony Campanella will pay $20 fee at end of the year to the league and whatever Lineup transaction fees are accumulated. As well, the following is part of their deal. If Montreal Xtreme finishes in the top 3 in upcoming years, then Anthony Macri would get a percentage of winnings based on the following: 15% of winnings for this year, 10% of winnings for next 2 years after this year, 5% of winnings for the next 3 years after that. The team will be under his control when the monetary transaction has taken place, which I believe will be this weekend if possible. Mr. Macri and the Xtreme management team would like to thank the SFHL for allowing him to partake in the pool and wishes good luck to the new owner. The team will be known as the Montreal Xtreme until the end of the year whereby then Anthony Campanella will be allowed to select whatever name and logo he wants. This deal is the first of its kind in the SFHL, and hopefully the last. Roger Reinoso is still granted an expansion team for next year at this time, but he seemed upset at not being able to secure the Montreal Xtreme, and the SFHL will have to see if he still wants to be a part of the league. Thank you and have a good night. Danny Petti Commissioner of the SFHL & GM of the Rockers

A press release will be coming soon. more details to follow…

The GM and President of the Punishers would like to formally congratulate the USA junior team for winning gold last night, and the Canadian boys settling for silver. They provided quite an entertaining game for our pleasure as a finale to the tournament. I would also like to congratulate John (“Hot Carl”) Carlson for his great game winning goal against the Canadians in overtime to push the Americans to the top jumpers for sale in los angeles. On another note, Congratulation to the man formally referred to by Jay Onrait as Mr. Miracle, Mr. Clutch, Baby face assasin, and known as a prolific goal scorer to Bob Mckenzie and Pierre McGuire, my boy, and first round pick by the Punishers in 2009, Mr. Jordan Eberle, for not only scoring the last two goals of the game to tie the game up (as i so boldly predicted last night at Victoria’s), and not only for winning the player of the game for Canada, but for also winning the tournaments top forward honours and MVP honours. These are great accomplishments for my young star.  He has now surpassed the likes of John Tavares, Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter for the most goals scored by a Canadian at the men’s junior tournament. He looks to have a promising career with the Edmonton Oilers, and the Punishers are glad to have selected him in the first round. We are looking to forward to next year and inserting the Baby face assasin into our lineup. The future looks promising for Jordan and the Punishers. Look out. Thank you. P.S. Guys on the trading block to make room for my boy: Setoguchi Brassard Pavelski Arnott Fisher Bourque Also maybe – Barker I am looking for d-men, depth forwards and draft picks. Best regards, GM, President of the Punishers (and soon to be announced disciplinarian of the SFHL (the new Collin Campbell LOL))
