Mike

As a Penguins fan I say anything against a Penguins player is wrong and anything they do is right (I didn't read any posts in this thread but I'm sure I'm wrong). Orpik to IR today.

Easiest thing to do is probably just give me PW username is always admin and whatever you made password. Though I suppose I could make an account and you could just give me access.

Like a diamond?

3-2 QUE QUE 6

Give me access and I'll do it.

I meant lots of cute little kittens.

I could use a Szatkowski Jr. goalie sig for Riga I tend to wear my sigs for like ever after I get one.

I miss those days.

Who is Tom Slaughter?

Well you do not know the Gows like I do their central pillar is softer than melted ice cream (WTF?).

You sir must not have read all the books yet.

He might be running a GM league not a player league I've seen a lot of really old Madden GM leagues.

I'm pretty good with wordpress if you need help with anything let me know. Also make sure you use SEO Plugin so you can get the occasional google search. I recommend you also get a sitemap plugin and google analytics plugin. To make links it isn't difficult go to menus under appearance then click the links drop down on the left its under categories/etc you just need to pick where you want the menus to show up on the template settings for that theme top/footer/sidebars/etc

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Making my job easy.

A new banner will hang from the Riga rafters once this season officially ends.

I think its more along the lines of 808 has a higher chance of TPE whoring his way to 1000 TPE and TFong will likely burn out and welfare his way around 700 that's the general gist I'm getting. Riga would love to get Fong back wasn't able to help him win a cup in his last season with his last player would like to make it up to him.

I remember the name

Yes if only you were the GM of the Dynamo with the ability to trade Chenko to Riga OH WAIT YOU WERE.

While spending virtually his entire life in the United States Mike Szatkowski Jr. was born in Canada. At the time his father VHL Hall of Famer Mike Szatkowski had taken a player/GM role for the Toronto Legion. After spending two seasons in Toronto as a player and some additional time as a GM they left the city. The family took a short stint away from the game of hockey and moved back to western, NY. You can't exactly shut that part of your life away though. Hockey DNA is forever imprinted within every member of this family. The family moved from place to place taking on different projects from coaching, commercials, inspirational seminars, and various other appearances. There wasn’t much down time to really get into a traditional living situation. It was mostly hotels and traveling no time for traditional schooling or hockey leagues. From school to school and place to place there wasn’t ever a real chance for structure. Losing out on many childhood and teen opportunities were rewarded with plenty of time spent around and practicing with other VHL stars. In an effort to differentiate himself and specifically knowing he couldn’t top his father’s success specifically at the center position he took a different approach. At a young age Szatkowski Jr. decided to go completely opposite and play goalie to blocks shots rather than to take them. While an unexpected decision he would line up vs. his father a VHL great on a daily basis. That kind of valuable competition and experience is priceless. After you play vs. a superstar facing your peers just doesn't seem quite as difficult any longer. Before Szatkowski Jr. could start his bid into the VHL though he had to at least get an education to fall back on. The average VHL career is less than eight seasons with virtually no one making it ever past that. Hockey isn’t a permanent career for anyone even the greats. Eventually you have to step away from the career of playing and that was the deal if he wanted to try to play professionally. After graduating at the age of twenty Szatkowski Jr. was given a shot with the Ottawa Lynx a minor league team in the VHL. At first it was mostly based on the merit of the name but quickly the league realized he was a prospect worthy of the VHL level. In seventy-two games this season Szatkowski came out with sixty wins. His save percentage was close to ninety-one and the G.A.A was 2.16. Those numbers are great for a minor league player but it was largely in part to the depth on the Lynx roster. Look for real signs of potential next season when he is called up to the Riga Reign the team his father currently is the GM for. Pros Hybrid – Szatkowski is uses the hybrid style of goaltending. This means that he can use both the traditional stand-up or butterfly method when needed. This general understanding gives him tremendous control no matter which style he uses. It keeps the shooter guessing and helps prevent tells in his stance. Experience – Having spent a ton of time around former VHL players Szatkowski comes into the league as a seasoned rookie. Spending his entire life around pro players has given him a great edge in that he knows the speed of the game. When you are a young boy into a teen and play hockey with retired VHL Hall of Famers including your father it is a foundation that money can’t buy. Reaction Time – This is just a great natural gift given to Mike. Sure you can improve yourself with a good diet, rest, and exercise but that can only take you to a certain point. Szatkowski just has this talent that he was born with able to diagnose the situation quickly and react. From sight to understanding and then actually taking the steps to react is just amazingly fast. Cons Taking Things For Granted – Having been around the league for a large portion of his entire life and having a relative already pave the way there is a sense of entitlement. Thinking that becoming a VHL pro player was already a forgone conclusion can cause him to slack off a bit. Granted the natural talent is there but this isn’t just any league anymore. The VHL is a premier hockey league filled with top end talent. Size – While Szatkowski has a good size frame at 6’3” and 220 pounds he doesn’t necessarily fill out that frame. Whether it is not squaring up in the net, using the right pads, or just not having the right physique he just plays smaller than you would expect. It could be him masking another flaw that is of more serious conern. Skating – Mike is very sound with the fundamentals of how he plays goalie but lacks skating ability and agility. His lateral movement leaves something to be desired and his full range of motion is less than ideal. In the minors he could rely on inferior opponents and a very strong Lynx team to makes saves to win the game. When he is surrounded by the fastest and best come next season in the pros he must be able to move flawlessly.

Cal D3 is OP GWG

Amazing play by Tfong probably I'd vote him playoff MVP even with the loss and thank you super depthy Lynx roster for making my job really easy.
