Congrats to PG for the win (and in the yearly league too!) - team came good for you at the right time. Great effort by the Pavelskis to make the GF and have a chance to defend the title from last year. For GIWI and I, well we both took over a couple of very (extremely) ordinary squads from inactive players who gave up on participating in the league for whatever reason (Iggy 2 years back, me 3) and have since managed to build them to the point of being very competitive, both losing close semis to eventually finish third and fourth. Marns, there's hope for you yet! (and I see that we have another squad that needs a manager too).
Major change we need to make is to start the league playoffs a week earlier, so as the grand final is on in the second to last week of the season rather than right up to the last day. Pav had no chance, with long term keepers such as Toews, Backes, Quick etc either not playing or only having one or two games for the week - am sure all the squads had similar issues (me with Iginla, Krejci, Krug, Varlamov etc all rested by their respective teams in the leadup to the playoffs - still managed to just steal the win from Iggy).
Great league though - lots of fun - hope we can continue on for years to come.......
