Week 6 trades

A murder of crows is term for a collective of crows. Iron Crow is a masters men's team in Ottawa. Justine is on the masters women's team in Ottawa, Eclipse. There is a friendly rivalry/mutually supportive atmosphere generally held between the teams as many players on one are dating, married to or have children (or solar contracts) with members of the other.

The joke is she is refering to Iron Crow as a murder of crows and being worth about a bag of pucks. I'm pretty sure the Eclipse ladies (who I universally love and adore and follow on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook because I love them, oh god please don't hate me for this) wouldn't like it if I retaliated with a murder of crones joke in here somewhere, so I'm pretending to not make that joke while making that joke.

EDIT: I have it on good authority from the internet that the correct terminology for my joke/not-joke is a "cackle of crones."

I tried to get Al on my team so I could witness his legacy in the making. I failed... much like Al's legacy is strewn with failure to date.

I heard a rumour that a number of teams are still not cap compliant. I am very excited to see what trades come out of this.

Sounds like either the Golden Boy (Sully) or Hadrian is on the move (pure speculation)...

Given hair flair and age, I'd maybe give the Golden Boy title to Hadrian. Sully can have "Poofball Gramps."

One last one...

Trades are being actioned as we speak! But an early look at one of our beloved parity value players when he's finally retired from all this nonsense:

Isn't trophies going to the winner completely the opposite of what Parity is trying to achieve? Celebrate the team closest to a 50% winning record and a plus/minus of 0.
