Should I pick up Kari Ramo or Riley Cote for my fantasy team?

Question

Or maybe both?

LMAO Mikey. I'm just toying with you. Cote and Ramo though? Too funny.
The worst part is that you traded away Gerber and Leclaire away and now here you are scrambling for a goalie.
Cote? Well, that's just a joke. 1 assist? You are just a big closet Flyers fan aren't you.

That was after proclaiming "Goalies win fantasy hockey"

Zam- Oh how I remember. I said that I could see my team having a few 40 goal scorers if things went well.

Jokinen, Briere, Iginla, Holmstrom, and Nash are all on pace for 40. I think in the post, I may have included Havlat but he was injured.

He told me I was fooish, Iginla was the only one with a shot in hell at 40.

LOL Lubers- well if the other one got deleted we have to try it again.

All in good fun, Mikey knows I mean no harm. Right Mikey? Ready to eat some crow?

Answer 1

Bob, it will really be fun at seasons end to re-post that question where Mike couldn't stop bragging about how he clearly drafted the best team and how much trouble we are all in. Remember that? He actually got upset at me because I thought that PuckDat had a better draft than him. lol

Now his team hardly resembles what he drafted with the continuous trades, its amazing that so many trades had to be made with such a juggernaut to begin with.

Anyway, Mike you had better step it up by seasons end or expect to bring your appetite here, I hope you are in the mood for crow.

*** You are catching heat because you were shooting your mouth off and you have been less than the dominant force that you tried to convince us you were going to be at seasons start.
If you are going to be cocky, it HAS to be backed up, and you have been more than a little cocky including trying to give me advice as to what is wrong with my team. Right or wrong advice, I am 31 years old and have played fantasy before, in fact I got second in my money league and won $200 last year, did you? I was in first or second for the first part of the season before I left and you still didn't hear a word of trash from me. Why? Because well done is better than well said.
Nobody here is telling you to eat crow yet, they are telling you that with all that smack talk, you better be able to back it up, or expect to hear about it.
FYI- My team is a bunch of underachievers and you are losing 8-1 right now, better make another trade. lol

But I guess every league needs a Sean Avery or a T.O. (ouch)

Answer 2

Cote is going to the all-star game with all of the extra ice time he will pick up now that Eager has been traded. He was on pace for just under 3 assists this season prior to the trade. With all of the additional ice he should see, I cannot see him getting any less than 5 now.

Ramo is the answer to the Lightning's goaltending prayers. What were they thinking keeping him down in Norfolk for so long. His save percentage (.898) and GGA (3.33) are 3rd on the team. He is also tied for second on the team in wins with 2. What took them so long? Everyone knows that the NHL is a far easier league to play goaltender in.

Bob: This isn't fair to Mike. This is the 2nd time in 3 days that we have tried to have a little fun at his expense. I think the other question may have gotten deleted.

Mikey: I will return Pascal LeClaire to you for Riley Cote, Kari Ramo, a conditional draft pick in 2011 (2nd round if Cote breaks 5 assists, 4th round if less than 5) and a Steve Moore autograph with a small coffee stain on the edge of the paper if you have one.

Answer 3

It's true; we can't let Mike win. He'll be comin' on Answers for the rest of his life bragging. LOL.

You boys keep talking smack. Whether it's due to beginner's luck, some quick learning, or complete bullshitting (truthfully, I might pick the latter) I haven't been out of the top 5 for a long time. I've never dramatically fell in the standings. I'm like the little noob that could! Mwahaha!

However... starting next week, I play (in this order): 2eighty8, Bob, Zam, Puck, and Lubers. AHH! Who came up with that scheduling, Commissioner Mike??

Answer 4

OK, what's the deal? I did that, so? Why do you ask this?? You think those are bad moves??? Let me remind everyone that our league has 18 teams in it, so there isn't enough goalies to go around. It was either get Ramo, or keep Sanford, Luongo's back, so Sanford will probably play about 2 games the rest of the year.

Also, because Avery has gone on the IR and I am losing the PIM stat, I went and got Riley Cote. Both of those moves are explainable Bob, what are you trying to say?

~

Hey at least now I have Kovalchuk, Spezza, Niedermayer AND Biron (who's been crapping out btw). And Bob, you have to admit that Leclaire has fallen off pace a bit. But don't worry, we'll see what the final standings say. And everything I said when we drafted our teams was just smack, I admitted that I wasn't being serious. I don't understand what the problem with this team is. I am in the top 3 in each of my other 3 leagues. It's like all the bad luck and injuries are only affecting this team.

Once again; the season ain't over. It's not over till it's over. I'm only FOUR points out of the playoffs. That's what matters right now. Seriously, if I win the league (IF) you guys won't hear the end of it from me lmao.

Oh, and I was aggresively trying to get Budaj, but PuckDat wouldn't budge >:( I even offered him Spezza and he refused! Come on Puck, show some love, it's the holidays! rofl

OK PEOPLE YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF! GO HERE: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/standings;_ylt=AoYLAehZHi_.mBVcmNuL2MR7vLYF

Notice how most teams haven't played even 41 games yet. Bob; you're telling me to eat crow with almost 50 games left to play in the season?!?!?!?? Really? Really? Not even half the season, really? Eat crow huh? It's still December and you want me to eat crow? Really? OK, you can tell me to eat crow in April, but it's not April!!! It's December!!!!!

~~~~

OOOOOOOOOOOOH! Hey GUYS! You know what I just remembered! I'M THE F'N COMMISSIONER!!! That gives me ULTIMATE POWER! At any point I can just take any player from any team I want! MWAAAAHAhAHAHA! >:D

lmfao, of course, I would never do that, because I am a good sport. But if people keep mocking me in DECEMBER, well..... just keep that in mind. I'm gonna go watch the Avs game now. But seriously, I'm jk about the ultimate power, I would never do such a thing.

It's still December!

Answer 5

Mikey I watched the Hawks/Predators game on television.

They showed Stan Mikita in the Press Box, he looks like he could still play today.....maybe you should pick him up. 4 time Art-Ross winner, 2-time Hart winner, can't beat stats like that today!

He'll do as much for your team as Ramo or Cote!

Answer 6

well knowing that kari ramo might never be a starter and all cote seems to do is gather up penlaty minutes and get suspended! thats a really tough choice to make! i think ur team is better off without either!

but take cote since he plays for your home team!

Answer 7

say i beat erica last week! next time we need a smaller league! shoulda played hiller tonight but i didn't think giggy would be out! if you need pm's it's cote, need a crappy gaa and save percentage pick up ramo. he can't help the lightning, they got no d!

Answer 8

I'll take Cote thank you.
I'm sure that he's capable
(or at least I hope I'm at least a little right)

of scoring some goals than just fighting...

Riley if you've read this, please prove me right!

Answer 9

Whichever one is NOT dating Jessica Simpson! LOL

Ramo has the TBL curse.

ADD:
Why is Mike popping blood vessels over this?

Answer 10

LOL - Hey Mike! Look up. Look waaaaaaay up. That's me in second place.
Mwahahahahahahaha.

Now I know why you were trying to get Budaj.
