Good luck JF.

From a glance it looks like advantage Bankers on the top unit and in net, advantage Millionares everywhere else.

Bankers, what are your special teams?

Yeah he needs to make some. I was pretty surprised the Bankers made it out of the first round without doing that.

Someone needs to PM JFA to post his special teams, I don't like his unknown powerplays chances against my PK units.

I don't know what happened to JFA, but it looks like he is still active on hfboards. I think this is the best entry I've seen from him in the ATD; I wish he was around to say something about it.

Vancouver prevails in the 1st OT of Game 7

Agreed. Having special teams may have made the difference in this very close series. Not having them leaves an unknown factor in the voters minds.

Occasionally voters post comments on their ballots. One Vancouver voter commented something like "maybe things would have been difference if Pittsburgh posted special teams."

Regardless, Vancouver moves on.

Thats the best team I've ever seen JFA put together, it's a shame he didn't post them because he really did have a great forward crop and obviously Sawchuk backing up that mediocre to poor defence.
