Need crosby to get 20 FOW. Lets go!

My last Pens game for the 24-25 season.

double margarita after that game...but disappointed the Pens won, as they need to lose for a better lottery pick!!!

One nothing final score? Was it Margarita with melatonin night Bill?

It’s a Hockey Night and Margaritaville Night in Pittsburgh Vs. the Ottawa Senator. Pens in a battle for a higher lottery chance in the amateur draft.

It’s a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh and also a Phil Kessel bobblehead night.

Happy St Patrick’s weekend to everyone. Can the Pens win 4 games in a row?????

So far so good for the Pens after one period

Binnington or Hill on Saturday….interesting decision for Cooper

classy Canadian hockey fans!!! Meaning very little to no booing, that’s what I meant in case there was any misunderstanding of what meant.

will certainly be interested to see how the crowd reacts to the American National Anthem in light of all stuff going on between the US and Canada, be interesting on National TV

Came to Montreal for work. Decided to get a little USA v Finland action!!

Yeesh. 9% increase every year. We'll presumably follow suit, but not right away... I typically trail a year or two behind the NHL in cap growth. We're increasing by 5.5% this year to more closely align to the NHL's $88 mil number... I think it's fair to expect continued growth every year here at Capwise.

NHL/NHLPA have released cap estimates for next three seasons: 2025-26: $95.5M 2026-27: $104 M 2027-28: $113.5M

I'm gradually working my way through a bunch of known issues with the spreadsheets. Going to keep a log of the changes/fixes here in case you notice anything different. --------------------------------------------------------- (1/17/25) Enabled automated email notifications for teams that are short a player. I also added some "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL" language to these automated emails... I don't typically see the replies, so it's better to reach me on the forum. (1/17/25) Fixed some automations surrounding the loss of JV eligibility -- still not working quite perfectly, but it will help me keep better track of these players. You may notice your players being force-dropped much sooner than you're used to. (1/21/25) Built auto-reset functionality into the Transaction Portals. Previously when a TP had an error, it would just lockdown until I fixed it. Now it'll tell you there's an error, but then it'll reset itself. This way it doesn't hold anyone up over a weekend.

Thanks for the update, James... Been thinking a lot about the LA folk this past week ❤️

Thanks for the update James, as our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, along with all the people in California devasted by the ongoing fires🙏

God bless, my friend.

As many of you know, Los Angeles has been home for the last 20ish years. Obviously the past week has been challenging. Many of you have reached out to check in -- thank you for that, I really appreciate it. My family and home are safe. We live in the Westchester neighborhood, which is a good distance from any active fire, thankfully. But Pacific Palisades is our other home. My wife grew up there... I spent three summers living there in college... we got married there, and still go to church there "every" Sunday (ish... give or take...). My in-laws still live there. Their home (my wife's childhood home) is safe. Fire surrounded it on three sides, coming within a few hundred feet, but thanks to the courageous work of a few stupid neighbors who chose to ignore the evacuation warning (and to whom we are eternally grateful), the house still stands with minimal damage. The family is still evacuated, and hasn't been allowed back to grab anything, but they're doing well. Likewise, and somewhat miraculously, the church (St. Matthews) is also standing. The parish grade school (which my wife attended) lost about half their buildings, and many of the trees and grounds burned, but all of the church buildings survived. (As an aside, this is good news for all Space Balls fans... Princess Vespa was married at the same altar). While we were lucky, so many people were not. Countless friends lost everything -- our pediatrician with three daughters under 10; our new priest who just moved in with his 2 year old; the elderly woman who owned an antique store in town where I bought my wife's engagement ring... the list goes on and on. And the loss of the town itself is unfathomable for us -- so many memories gone. It's a lot to process, and we're still deep in our grief, even among the relief of our own safety. The Palisades is a family community... almost entirely single family homes, many of them with children. Nearly all of their homes, and every single school, are now gone. Many of you have asked how you can help, so I thought I'd share a couple of charities... A local contractor has been on the ground helping by turning off water/gas, cutting down trees, etc. https://gofund.me/9c5dbc05 A grade school classmate of my wife, whose sister is the head of our church's school, is also raising funds to support the affected families. https://gofund.me/8bc9dc8f I'm also collecting donations directly (you can use the Capwise donation link). We've been using donations from friends to purchase gift cards to Lakeshore Learning (school supply/toy company where my wife works) and distribute them to affected families. If a cash donation isn't in the cards for you at the moment, send prayers, if that's your thing... or at least good vibes, if that's more your speed. This isn't over yet... we're under high wind warnings today and tomorrow, and the Palisades fire is still less than 20% contained. I really do appreciate your well wishes and support!

IDK - Johnston has been playing a lot better lately.

Ill take Celebrini for the rest of this season. Johnston seems a little off this year, and Celebrini will likely continue getting better in his first season, IMO

One-year league with enough UTIL spots position eligibility doesn't matter - which side would you pick? (categories in image)
