Some people will pick him up because of Durry and think he has some gas left in the tank. It was either Shanny or Gaberoik (sp)

Ya maybe someone will pick Shannahan up in the last 2 rounds but im not sure how that counts as a fantasy bust. Fantasy bust has to be someone thats selected relatively high, not someone who goes in the last few rounds where most of the time your taking a flyer on a guy anyways.

They're going to choke this season, along with Detroit. Book it.

:lol: at the post about the Wings choking. How are we going to choke? We have one of the deepest teams in the league. If anything we are going to improve. I love how everybody writes us off after 1 **** game. If we are **** at December for example then I could agree with you but not now

That's the beauty with the Wings. When they choke, it comes off different every time, so you never know what to expect.
