Sometimes you just have to know when to be humble. Tonight is one of those times.This will be a simple one fingered salute as Justin Abdelkader literally made Viktor Fasth owners sick to their stomachs in the 5-1 Red Wings victory. Therefore our F**K You Fantasy POTN goes to Fasth who gave up three goals on 11 shots. At least two of those were goals that the Swedish talent could and should have wanted back. It just was not his or the Ducks night and there you have it. May Fasth owners flip the bird as those lost categories come back to haunt them. All it takes is one disaster of a night. Ondrej Pavelec won for the Dishonorable Mention as he got yanked again in a 6-1 loss to Washington where he gave up three goals on nine shots. His team left him out to dry so the last two nights if you owned Pavelec, may we flip the bird on you and go F U because, why do you stil own the Jets goalie? We're just saying!

Oh that kid of terror..........

OUCH! Now that is one mad kid. Seriously, tonight was a tough night with the Alex Edler-Mike Smith hit them skirmish. Where could we go with that? Truthfully we were just neutral on it to just let it go for now at least. The problem was neither player really adversely effected the outcome. It seemed like Vancouver was likely going to win a very close game either way, whether it be in regulation, overtime, or the shootout. There was a botom line and it had to be taken. It has to be asked then if not, that incident, then what the hell are we going to select. Don't worry, an answer had been easily chosen.

=======================================================

Supreme F**KUP -- Kevin Poulin -- New York Islanders

If you want to see a game go up in smoke fast, just ask Kevin Poulin what happened last night because the Isles were tied at 2. The place was hopping. Then Poulin gave up his third goal of the night to Brian Gionta, which seemed innocent enough. However in the middle of the third period, he gave up two goals in 33 seconds during the ultimate 5-2 defeat. Truthfully, the goalie still has much to learn but his third period stinker left a lot of people with a very sour taste. When the last nine minutes of a game feels like more of "oh god don't let this become 6-2 o worse, that is the deathnail for a goalie. Something tells me Poulin may just be Bridgeport bound eventually because most of the night (even despite 5 GA). he just looked very off. Needless to say, there may be another goalie up in short order if this strange malaise continues.

========================================================

Have a great night everyone! TGIF and we are out of here!

Oh god, we are at it again! It was a strange fantasy night and a ton of craziness ensued. There were no goals that might have been goals, goals that should not have been, and zany comebacks that never should happen. These are the players and/or teams that made us want to go ah F**K YOU! Are you ready? Let's go!

======================================================

Top F**KUP:  Jimmy Howard -- G -- Detroit Red Wings

Its not like Howard was bad but four goals on less than 20 shots is not good no matter the circumstance. Howard just has not been the same goalie since he was on a 50 win pace last year. Whether its injuries or inconsistent play, the Detroit netminder just has a few too many of these clunkers for my fantasy liking. Please understand that in fantasy whether its a soft goal or not, giving goals is giving up goals. Maybe he will get them next time but Howard just flipped the bird to us fantasy owners so we give it back!

======================================================

2nd F**KUP:  Patrick Kane -- W,C -- Chicago Blackhawks

Dallas blowing a two goal lead was almost enough but Edmonton did it too. Patrick Kane threw up a true brick (not like Danny Heatley). Yes he played 25:21 tonight and had an assist but Kane made some awful turnovers on his way to a -4, yes a -4!  Anaheim won 4-2 by the way so you can figure out Kane's assist was on the power play. The +/- kills people in too many leagues and just ticked us off. Add in this shenanigans with Saku Koivu and other Ducks players and the F U goes to Kane here.

======================================================

That is all for now....go watched Crashed Ice on NBCSN. Good night and flip the bird to these fantasy duds!

It was one of those death be not proud type of nights where things just went all wrong. When goalies are handling pucks like its a hot potato, pucks are going in that have no business to, then there is an Oscar being handed out for "best dive", it is one of those nights. Let's quickly get to these before the world err author wants to pass out again.

=======================================================

Top F**KUP -- Johan Hedberg -- New Jersey Devils

So he made the hard saves....that has to count for something, right? Wrong! There was THIS! Also, there was the god awful Rick Nash goal which we will not show for the sake of national security. It was so bad that fans were asking for Martin Brodeur to come in literally the first Rangers goal till the end of the game. Granted, it is not that Brodeur has not make mistakes like these, just not this many so quickly in succession. Hedberg cost many fantasy owners a win and hell, probably the contents of their stomachs in this blood curdling exercise of futility. The bird was flipped strongly for this one and simply thank god Brodeur will be back in net very soon for the red and black.

======================================================

Junior F**KUP -- Henrik Lundqvist -- New York Rangers

Not to be outdone, Lundqvist may have acted as his way into Rangers-Devils lore. When you draw a penalty, after your own player hits you....a goalie has truly accomplished the improbable. Yet that happened last night at The Rock. It was one of the more bush league acting jobs I have seen since Major League 4: The Search For The Last Mexican League Catcher but you get the idea. It is very disappointing that there was not video footage at press time. But for those who saw it, yes Swedish Fish dive, we believe! It may have changed the course of the game ultimately so that is why we give it a big F U!

======================================================

Again we are out of here....have a great night!

This was an easy night for the F**K You Fantasy POTN because we only have one award winner. Yes it is rare but sometimes these things do happen. There is not much to this Monday night but we have one award winner and it was just too obvious and too embarrassing.

======================================================

Team F**KUP -- Colorado Avalanche

It was that painful! Chicago really felt at home in Chicago as it is clear that the fans will not boo (the sound system cannot drown that out). Even with the Marian Hossa injury, Chicago coasted to an easy 5-2 win at the Pepsi Center. There was no intimidation and little defensive fortitude. At times, you had to just sit there and wonder how long will the coach and GM in Colorado will last. Sacco and Sherman have to be on death's door or damn close. The lazy decision making and poor team defense has to be a killer for a team with some offensive pop. Your fans hate you enough to root for the enemy! It is a sign!

======================================================

We're done! Have a good night and flip the bird!
