A new leader has emerged in the Smythe.
SAVAGES... looking very strong and up to 101.5pts, establishes himself as the new favourite. From Russia with 'ov has fallen to 2nd place at 97pts. 3rd-12th are all still in the running from 92pts-75pts. A very tight league. Looking to shake up their teams from falling, Russia and Hawkdog7mm have made a trade with Nail Yakupov joining the Russians and B.Schenn joining Hawkdog7mm. Also, Rougie welcomes Teemu Selanne in excahnge for Dany Heatley joining the Bearflaggers.

Sulushattenkirks face made his first transactions of the entire season... after seeing the hope of his team rising to 6th.

going on three weeks holidays has not helped my team!!

Yeah... but New Zealand man! That sounds awesome!
I'd trade my shot at winning for a 3-week vacation. I think I've had one week of vacation in the last two+ years.

ya the worst part was having to come back! to snow and minus 8!

Wow, looks like it could go down to the wire.

New Zealand has always been high on my 'places to visit' list. Came close several years ago when I was thinking of getting a working holiday visa. Situation changed and it didn't happen. One day (hopefully), but it'll be awhile yet.

Standings got TIGHT-TIGHT-TIGHT in the Smythe over the last month.
It appears that as many as 9 teams are still close enough to strike for a shot at the championship.

...
15-36.5pts [15] That Bird Team (Nc.Backstrom, Ward, Doughty, Pavelski, Zetterberg, Ott)

Big Riser: Savages. Took over first place and hasn't looked back. League leader in Assists, W, GAA. And Iginla to the PENS! Rich get richer. The frontrunner.
Big Faller: From Russia with 'ov. 1st Place for over 2 months and then they hit a wall. Malkin out for 5 weeks. Green out 4 weeks. Gaborik sputtering. Terrible goalie combo in Bryz/Varly. Last in +/- , 2nd last in GAA.

Wow, that's a crazy tight league.

That's tough luck with your squad. The positive is that there's still a month to bounce back, but of course tough with injuries and slumps.

I'll update the Adams soon.
