Coming off a bad defeat to the Drone, which meeting had the Drone literally shaking in fear the night before, Coach Dooit started to question his faith in goalie John Grahame, who had been slipping since he went -1.

Listening to the cocky bitch Drone crowing about 4 points gained in the standings over WD pushed the Coach, but he stayed his hand, giving the goalie that played so well a shot to get a win in Katmandu.

353. WINNIPEG 4, KATMANDU 5 OT

A timely hot streak on Nieuwendyk was making a difference for the Hellcats, who could teach the Drone a lesson about gracious victory, but the second goal of the game from D-Man Jason Marshall came late, and it was tied.

Going into OT, the Dips threw everything at Katmandu, but were denied three times by Dan Cloutier.

Katmandu came down and got one lousy shot, and won the game.

Afterwards, the shocking decline of Adrian Aucoin continued as he has now gone from +1 to -1 in under a week.

Coach Dooit had enough.

With those bastards from Texas and a rematch with the loudmouthed Drone at the Sherbrook St Solopad ahead, long time Winnipeg goalie Mikka Kiprusoff got another chance.

Those bastards from Texas didn't know what hit them, as they have been struggling lately, but the cold streak of Winnipeg could afford to take no prisoners. Kipper makes 25 saves for the win.

Justice was done, as the bitch Drone got their due course. Of course, they will run to say they have won 2-1 so far. They will leap up and say they won the playoff series last year. They will celebrate an injury to the Dips.

They still lost. They still are behind 2-0 where it matters most, in Cup victories.

"Still calling us the Drone but still beating the sh-t out of the Masterbaters...." - Bitch Drone

Hmmm...seems that cocky attitude was completely pulled out of his ass, as is no surprise as the source of all his material. Where was this great team today? Where was the overwhelming victory they were so cocky about? Where were their great skills when it wasn't a slumping goalie in the net?

It wasn't all good. Streak erosion continued, as Roenick lost his +1. We'll have to see some quick refiguring of the Streak Programming Machine.

The worst thing happened near the end of the second, as Adam Henrich was a target for scoring the go ahead goal and eventual GAME WINNER.

So fond of speaking of crying is the Drone, it was ironic how it happened.

Adam had the puck on the wing, and was putting together a solid rush when a great splash shocked all the Rags. A giant tear, traced to the visiting GM's press box as he realized his boasting was due to be thrown back in his face, came down and squashed Henrich, and he is out for a week.

GM Sedsey called up Keith Tkachuk to take his place, so the Dips will survive.

Yes, a giant tear from Bitch Drone, the cocky asshole with the biggest mouth in fantasy hockey, outside of Ego, and surely he will respond with another dumbass comment and his "lol lol", but it is of no moment, as today confirms his every day, and the label is LOSER.

Now, with that business aside, it is time to set the example for teams like the Bitch Drone.

These were good wins for Winnipeg, but they totalled 4 points, and that is all they are. Other teams may overblow these type of results, and that is their choice, but we here know that it is fine to enjoy, but it doesn't prove anything.

Now, we can refer to Waco's assessment of WD being the team of the first half with a standings list showing that it was true, but nowhere did we cry out how pathetic the league's opposition was, and nowhere did we claim we had it locked up.

In fact, I showed the standings to illustrate just how close it was for first overall, which is being held by 2 points in Montreal at present.

In fact, Waco is a curse. Until today, it was almost entirely bad news, slumps, and lost streaks since they made their rankings.

In fact, when you open your big flapping mouth and get cocky about fantasy hockey, you usually get proven to be an ass quite quickly.

In fact, we saw it today. Good game, Drone.

Now, WD will be facing the Drone again soon. They may win or lose that game. But I sought to make a point today, and the Dips made 4.

Onwards, and next up is a visit for Thunder Bay, who need to make double-time to catch surging Katmandu for the last Bourque Division playoff spot.

The Dips have 8 points over the second place Hellcats, with 4 games in hand.

When last we visited, WM was about to finally play a home game, hosting Texas, and expectations of a huge welcome for LW Keith Tkachuk were expected.

However, things don't seem to going entirely to plan for WM these days, and the games were hastily played just mere moments after the WMP release.

The dreaded first game after a long road trip curse hit WM, and they dropped their home opener 5-3 to Texas.

The bright side is that nobody was there to see it, since the games were scheduled (we thought) for the next morning.

Later that evening, Don Sweeney and Jaromir Jagr returned from injury, and WM was victorious over Texas by a 3-1 tally.

Marian Gaborik departed for Echo Bay, and Keith Tkachuk donned number 7 for the rubber match...and Keith's debut was successful as Masteurhate triumphed 6-1. Tkachuk had an assist , but Jagr and a hot streaking Denis Shvidki each scored twice to earn the stars.

A divisional victory by a 6-3 margin over Michigan saw Tkachuk's first WM goal, and this time it was the Captain Bobby Clarke with two goals. Clarke has had a slow start to the season, scoring at a mere point per game pace.

Recent doghouse resident Jeremy Roenick was injured at Peterborough, with WM taking the game 5-3. PAS would have a big trade with Echo Bay up their sleeve as well, as they would acquire the services of Al MacInnis. They've been hot since then.

Speaking of heat, Hitchcock gave his charges a blast in a disgraceful 7-1 loss in Hartford. One would have expected a greater fight against the team that beat WM in last years playoffs, but GM Pat's Whalers might have Mastuerhate's number, aided again by a plethora of + streaks.

4-3 win vs Montreal, again 4-3 over Bancroft, an 8-3 destruction of Michigan, and the team was FINALLY at full health.

Along the way, Prospal, Primeau, Kariya, and Niedermayer all decided that slumping would be fun, while Kubina, Zubov, and Luca Cereda pushed for more ice time with hot streaks.

Despite his slump, Scott Neidermayer put up 1G and 4A for a 5 PT effort at Michigan. Pavel Bure, amazingly not a -1 yet, also had a 5 point night.

So things would be better against Hartford at the Sherbrook St Solopad, with the ravenous Rags thirsting for Whaler blood, right?

Not so, as WM again lost to the hot Hartfordians, 6-4.

Perversely, RW Dan Cavanaugh got hot some time during this game. Even so, he can't crack the top 3 lines, a major reversal from his fine play last season.

Besides a disturbing lack of success against Hartford, WM has been tearing it up, 7-3-0 in their last 10 games.

Goaltender Roberto Luongo is among the league leaders in every goaltending category, true to his promise of outstanding netminding made at season's beginning. GM Sedsey is glad the right goalie was not stolen away at the rape-ier draft.

Keith Tkachuk has a point per game with WM.

WM hosts Cornerbrook in the next set of games, whenever that is. Winnipeg is 1-0 vs the shortened name squad this year.

Following games against Texas (yawn...again??!!), Niagra Falls, and Michigan, two huge tests lie ahead for everybody's favorite DHHL team.

184. MIAMI at WINNIPEG

192. WINNIPEG at PORTLAND

Not to overlook the divisional contests, but these games will do much to determine what moves Winnipeg will make int he coming week. With Miami vying for first overall (a dubious distinction, as means you get fucked in the rape-ier draft), and Portland the defending champs, Rags everywhere anticipate these momentous clashes.

Are our pluses a minus, or is it our minuses are a plus??

Maybe our pluses are a plus, and our minuses a minus...I need a drink,
