Gentlemen: Here is the rather disappointing player overuse report. Thanks to Gary Plunkitt and Rich Applegate in helping me sort these out. We have a few who didn't have any over usage and a few with less than 10 games, then an avalanche of more than 10 game penalties that greatly effected one divisions playoff representative. Here is the entire list.
