1998/1999 Season

First Quarter
Start off with a trade to the Red Wings for their 99 and 01 1st round picks. They get Afinogen, and my 1st rnd pick. First two games agaisnt Chicago are low scoring for us. After last years fireworks, will be hard to repoduce. Kovalev relegated to 4th line with Sanderson, Elias and Satan replace them.Also Pronger and Ozolinsh get more power play time as woudl like to try and get them close to the 100 point mark if at all possible, but may reduce in less goals! Bondra and Modano aren't at the production levels of last year either but still on course for around 150, Palffy is the man in form with 43 in the first 21 games. Palffy Gretzky Lemeiux all averaging around 2 pts a game, Hull leads with 21, Palffy and Bondra with 17. Calgary have gone a dissapointing 11-7-1. Edmoton 18-5, having split the games with us, 6-5 and 4-5. That was the only game we've lost. Detroit are close but no on else is. We are already 16 clear in our division(3 divisions per conference now). We an on pace for 550 goals.

Midway
Gretzky only player on course for 200, Lemieux 171, but Edmonton with the better record 67/44-56/41. We are over the hills on 79, but lost to Detroit in our last game. We are 39-2-1. Hull 3 clear of Bondra. Palffy on 86 pointds for us, on course for 578 goals.

3rd Quarter.

We win every game in this quarter, and now on coursed for 619 goals. One of the bet runs we've been on. Bondra and Hull on 66 and 67 goals. Gretzky 151 Lemieux 140, Palffy Bondra and Modano all in the 120's.
Our draft picks, Dallas and Detroit winning their Division easily. Colorado however are battling for a bottom 4 pick, but 1st and 2nd will be NJ and TB.

End of Season,

Not quite as good, as previous quarter, but still 159 points finish, and 594 goals. Pronger finished on 101 points, whilst Modano Bondra and Palffy finish edon 162, 161, 161! No 200 point season, Gretzky however a new record for Assists, which feels right at 149. Bondra second to Hull(90-88). 39 get 100 19 get 50. Ozolnish despite pp time didn't do great he'll have to be unprotected int he expansion drafts.
Unsuprisingly best teams were Edmonton Detroit, Calgary and NY Islanders. Anyone onr of the 118 points plus teams could knock us out, but we are very heavy favourites. Our goal diff of 405 is 38 worse then the next best 3 combined.

Colorado ended up 4th from last, but Detroit were 3rd and Dallas 6th(but 8th overall, not sure how it works in this situation) Onto the playoffs
