-Let me jump right into it:
-The 2007-2008 Lemieux’s League Champion is Justin’s Bone Corporation!
-Congrats, and enjoy it Justin, you’ve earned it!
-Boy, did he ever earn it, that team was in 12th place last year. ..oh yeah, they also didn’t have a manager who cared/set lines.
-Bone got off to a fast start at the beginning of the year. But still no one, not even Justin, thought it would last. I was predicting their demise on a weekly basis:

-But that ship never went down, in fact it never left 1st place in the standings once it got there.
-A Fantasy President’s trophy, 200+ wins and a first round bye later and Bone found themselves in the playoff tourney.
-They blew apart the Dump in the second round, then they found out they were going to play a 6th seed in the finals, life was easy at Corp HQ.
-Regime was that 6th seed, but they didn’t put up too much of a fight…until the last 2 days.
-Showing confidence in his goalie, and maybe a little bit of greed ;p , the Bone Corp played “Lundie” Sunday afternoon, but he wasn’t good enough. Not only did he not win, but he handed Regime GA and Save % and suddenly the matchup was 10-6-2, DRAMA.
-Regime needed just 2 more ppp’s and a few more +’s to take the gold back to Regime nation, but it was not to be.
-Bone’s goaltending gamble didn’t matter, their offense and specialties had it all locked up anyways.
-Final score of the finals = 10-6-2, Bone Corp takes home the Gold trophy and a long summer’s worth of bragging rights.
(Bone’s new trophy case)
-Farls could push as many buttons and flip as many switches as he wanted, but his team ran out of gas weeks ago. Silver Trophy? Sure.
-The Championship Finals were the only close matchup of the week.
-The Bronze matchup was dominated by the Dump, congrats to the D+C on winning the Bronze Trophy for 3rd place!
-The Dump was a very well rounded team; solid at specialties, solid at goaltending but maybe a little streaky on offense. Still it was plenty to bring home some hardware:
-The Mollies finish in 4th for the second straight year, can you say 4th place dynasty next year? That would be a hilarious coincidence for the lovably losing Mollies.
-The Mollies went MIA in the playoffs again:
-Reed Dynasty, as expected, took the Best-Worst Team crown with relative ease. Well they won something, congrats!
-Lemieux’s League news:
-Award ceremony next weekend. What's that, you thought there was a lot of awards last year? I’m looking to double it! Everyone will get a few of them, some will get too many. Send me any award ideas you have to refarls@yahoo.com , I'll take any award idea you got.
-I’m also going to try and update all of the rosters onto the website for the off-season next week.
-On top of rosters and awards, all of the season long records will be revealed, there were a number of new records set.
-I decided against playoff stat records because it was too hard to figure out since there is both 1 week and 2 week playoff rounds. Individual team records might show up though like, ‘1st 6th seed ever to do anything’ or something.
-Oh yeah, you can now TRADE at will, the deadline lock is lifted, have at it.
-Come on, no one wants to sign up at the league forum? I’m telling you guys it makes trading a TON easier plus I’d like to discuss things like possible league/stat changes there since it’s easier. You don’t have to, it isn’t a requirement or anything, but it kind of sucks when there is only 5 of the 12 teams in this league signed in there. Again, I’m not holding a gun to your head with this or anything, but at least check it out:

-Admittedly the Forum is thin right now, but I plan on expanding it as the off-season progresses, so be sure to check it from time to time in the summer.
-I’ll be sending out more info in an email next week, including the annual ‘you’re coming back next year, right?’ routine, so beware.
-With that, Season 3 is officially over.
-Outside of the lavish award ceremony that is coming, Season 4 has essentially begun!

*throws some confetti in the air. Thank you, Thank you! It was a long and demanding season this year but at the end, it was well worth it. Firstly, I would like to congratulate everyone and especially Farls. You were a great opponent and you have set up a great league. I hope to stay and fill up that trophy case (looks a little empty right now).
Lastly, I would like to thank my team, there were quite a few surprise but there were also a few disappointments. There was also some serious players who came ready for the championship weeks. The biggest surprise during these two last weeks, Federov. A whopping 7 points, +4, 2PPPs, 1SHP, 1GWG.
Thank you. Now lets get to some trading!
Hmm...could Federov be your Playoff MVP?? He was absolutely devistating in the finals.
So, you want Danny Heatley to be your regular season MVP, right?
As good as Federov was these last two weeks, I can't ignore E.Staal,s numbers. 3-4-7, 8PIM, 1PPG, 3PPA, a crazy 45 SOGS, and 62FW. That is a stat line of my playoff MVP.
There really is no other season MVP than Heatley. His numbers clearly speak for himself. Close runner up was again, E.Staal. His +/- was really his only downfall.
My biggest surprise for the season belongs to Morrow. He literally contributed to every stats. Solid +23, 100+ PIM, 2SHP and 7 Gwiggles. A 70+ point, 100+ PIM guy, gotta love that.
Sweet, so come time for the lavish award ceremony:
-Eric Staal will join Vinny Lecavelier and Jason Spezza as the only playoff MVP award winners.
-Danny Heatley will join Jagr and Spezza as the only Lemieux's League MVP award winners.
