Slowest. Hockey. Draft. Ever. Final. Update.
Yes, you read that right. Final update. Even with a round to go, the Slowest. Hockey. Draft. Ever. is over. As in game over. What was once a 19 point deficit for yours truly has transformed into a two point lead with no real challengers in sight. Knowing what I’m talking about, this is the advantage I have. Evgeni Malkin, I could kiss you on your Russian lips for your tremendous effort in the semi versus Carolina. Marian Hossa and Brian Rafalski deserve some of the credit, too. Sure, nothing in life is a guarantee, and the guy we worried about last round is still lurking in the weeds, but let’s get real here. It’s ova, it’s ova! Let’s go home, indeed.
The standings, the points,and the players:
The 4th Star, 89 points (Malkin, Hossa, Rafalski)
Chappy, 87 points (all Capitals, all Ducks, no hope)
MasterClark, 72 points (Zetterberg, Franzen)
Wise, 58 points (Crosby, J. Staal, Sykora)
NCMF, 55 points (Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Gonchar)
KevinO, 48 points (Kunitz)
Dr. Economy, 31 points (Joe Thornton, ’nuff said)
If memory serves, I think we said $100 a guy. That sounds about right.
