Matt –

Gatineau is right across the river from Ottawa so it kind of made sense to include it with Ottawa. I know Briere would love to be on MTL but we had to make some sacrificed. The Gaspe Peninsula is really close to the Maritimes and they badly needed a second goalie so we gave them Garon.

Not being Canadian I don’t follow you logic in “Gatineau and the Eastern portion of the Gaspe Peninsula” out of the Quebec team thus giving the Montreal Briere and Brassard. If that team existed I know Danny would hate to be left off.

Ya… we thought about it but none of us our French so we didn’t really know where to draw the border between the two teams.

Plus, if the French players were split in to two teams, Toronto would have won!

Cool post – but to be fair Quebec should be split in two to have a Quebec Nordiques team!

Ship him to Halifax where he can rot in last place. Although him and Crosby would score a boatload of goals.

What happens when Heatley demands a trade out of Calgary? I guess Edmonton and Ottawa are out of the question, right?

Stastny – Ya I know he is pretty much American but for the most part we went with birth places, and considering the history his dad had with the Nordiques it just felt right.

Regehr – Missed out on that one. You are right. It was hard to hit every player considering we had to search hundreds of players basically on where they were born. As such, Regehr didn’t appear on my radar. Heatley only made it on to Calgary because I knew he was born in Germany.

Sharp and the Staals – I guess I wasn’t clear about the boundaries. We split Thunder Bay between Ottawa and Winnipeg, kind of like central Alberta was split between the Oil and Flames. It would make no sense to split up the Staal’s so we put them all on Ottawa and Sharp on Winnipeg.

Green – Don’t even know what to say on that one. Brutal. I’ll add him but it is still a terrible team.
