Operation Loser is Aborted

All season long, I have served as our Fantasy Hockey league's official punching bag, tied for last in the league, with a six--game losing streak, which, in over 10 years of playing is a personal record. So, I've been trying to lose so I can get the first pick in next year's draft. Naturally, I'm now riding a two-game win streak. (Where were all these wins when I needed them?) Not only did I beat my week 21 opponent 126-89, I beat the entire league with those 126 points, for which I won ten bucks (if I'm going to win, that's how I want to win!) The credit for this particular victory goes to Nashville Predators winger Filip Forsberg, whose 46 points (he had two hat tricks last week) led the way. My record now stands at 6-15, good for second-to- last in the league. Even if I run the table these last three weeks, it would still be difficult to catch anyone, so I would have the second pick. By picking 2nd, depending upon who gets picked first, I would be able to draft either Alexander Ovechkin (who I think will go first,) Patrick Kane, or Sydney Crosby. Being stuck, record-wise, in no man's land, I might as well see if I can pick up more ten-dollar prizes. Wish me luck.
