Bure is probably my all-time favorite player.
I was a huge Florida Panther fan back in the day...obviously *points at forum screen name*...lol! Bure was my favorite forward and Beezer was my favorite goalie. I really enjoyed watching them go to the Stanley Cup finals. When Bure left and Beezer retired I fell away from the Panthers.
I actually live in Michigan and love the Red Wings but my new favorite team is the Caps. Ovechkin reminds me of Bure but he can pass and hits like a freight train! My kind of player. It seems like either people love Ovie or hate him. No one seems to ever be in the middle. And like I said in an earlier post I'm following the Blues now too!
I am excited to get my season going but I was waiting for EA to update the rosters with the AHL players. Do you use EA's or someone elses? Also, I have been following your injuries with great interest. Last year I barely saw any and you seem to be getting a decent amount. What is your setting at? They seem really accurate and I like to use the depth of my team and farm team like you seem to do well at.
Thanks for your time and I'll keep following. The trade deadline was really intense with the Oshie injury! I was thinking you might make a move. I'm sure it's hard laying off tinkering with the roster at the deadline!

Excellent season so far, good stance at the deadline. Sometimes the best option is staying quiet.
