I feel like Malkin taking 18 minutes of penalties has clinched this for me. I had to run and check if he was getting suspended for something when i saw 18 minutes of penlties, but no, apparently he took 4 minors and then chirped the ref and got 10

Last night I was leading Dumba in all stars, 12-5, benched Saros to preserve my 2.01 GAA and 94.1%sv satisfied and turned around and looked before I went to bed. He picked up Lyon and he pitched a shutout and then Verheage and Pasternak both had 4 and 3 goals. Next thing you know I am losing 8-9.....It was 10:45pm when i went to bed and the Sharks Arizona game was starting and he had also picked up Prosvetov vs the Sharks. I kept watching and refreshing to see if he was awake and realizing he could bench Prosvetov and win easily. I crossed my fingers when I saw he did not bench the Arizona goalie and then fell into a fitful sleep. Woke up and the Sharks had won 7-2 and he let in all 7, no empty netters. Today im in a bind, winning 10-6, but barely as he only need 3 assists, 1 PPG, 1 PPA or a goalie win to flip. Our goalie cats are tied 2 wins, 2 losses each. Im winning GAA and SV% but he is winning saves by 16 and SO. He has Kuemper, I have hellebuyck. I doubt I can catch him in saves unless Hellebuyck makes a 50 save performance....vs New jersey. If he flips 2 categories, im toast. tie goes to Dumba since he has a better regular season record vs me. on the bright side, Kuemper plays at 2pm, Hellebuyck at 8pm, so I get to at least see if I need to roll him.

Heatley and Setoguchi come to mind for the sharks. Bad enough that we saw the writing on the wall before their numbers took a huge dive and traded them for Brent burns and Martin Havlat, who was injured too much to be called lazy LOL

h Oh yeah. Kasper is a guy we will be keeping an eye on in banger leagues when he makes it to the NHL

Thanks man. I was sweating bullets when i woke up Saturday and the score had flipped 7-8. It was closer than the final score indicated and you did pretty amazing for your first year ever given this shark pool! Good luck @bbgarnett in the 2nd round. This will be a firefight for sure

@Math Good luck mate! May we have an epic first round matchup!

Apparently the youtube account made it private after it was shared lol

Klingberg will be in tonight. Probably on pp1 lol

All stars trade Halifax trades Copley, Pavelski and Dobson to Hell Bears for Hellebuyck Copley wins many games and loses few at 18-4-2, but his GAA and SV% isn't great, but his starting gig is secure with Quick being traded out. Hellebuyck plays more at 26-18-2 and has a better GAA and SV% overall, so I had to add. Dobson is a strong offensive Dman who is 5th in SOG among Defensemen and still blocks a lot of shots and gets a good chunk of PPP. Pavelski, well, does it all. RW eligible, wins faceoffs, hits, blocks and scores a PPG. With Vanecek and Copley, Rux can still have strong goaltending and this gives him more forward depth for a hail mary to make the playoffs. I have to make room for Makar and Evander Kane coming off my IR so 3 for 1 isn't as debilitating to my depth as it would normally be.

I'm losing track of how many east teams just loaded up. Boston(Bertuzzi, Orlov), NYR(Kane, Tarasenko), Toronto(O'reilly, schenn, Gustavsson), NJD(meier), Carolina (Ghost) Even Ottawa made a move grabbing Chychrun. By comparison the west will be meeker lol.

Worth every single penny. Consistent superstar goalscorer and the best player on the best team

Sure there is. He just has a cap hit of 11 million dollars lol

Variance is on my side! Even pocket aces loses 1 in 4.5 times! Good match mate lol

So Shakir Mukhamadullin, who was drafted 1st round 2 years ago 20th overall, Zetterlund, who is looking like a steal and could have been drafted 1st round and 2 more first round picks? That's actually a great return for Meier. Meier's RFA qualifying offer is 10 million dollars. That was going to hurt. Sharks are going nowhere for a few years so this is a terrific return considering

Tanking is intentionally losing. This isn't intentional so much as it is they are old, suck and can't hack it like they used to. It's clear half the team tunes out the coach as well because I see 2 separate styles being played lol

nobody wants to trade with me!!!! So sure maybe more time will help me talk folks into it lol

Martin Jones has let in 4 or 5 goals every game for the last bunch he has played. Grubauer has let in like 2 max and has a 96% sv lol May be time to let the 6 million dollar goalie play again

We sharks fans called it the ass of doom

I also miss the days when hits like this were more common and when clean, just meant you tried to get it back later. Fighting over clean hits or someone taking an whack at the puck because the ref hasn't blown the whistle always has and always will be dumb. I also miss hip checks.

Binnington eh? I guess it depends what you want for him.

The coyotes. Rebuilding the right way for over a decade lol They have a 24 year old hot defenseman in chychrun and want to sell him for picks. It's like an endless cycle

Barzal finally has someone who can bury a puck on his line!

I like the deal for Rux more due to goaltending being so thin in a 16 team league. Essentially Forwards get 12 categories to goalies 6 categories. So 3 or so goalies count for 33% of the categories every week. Often you will need to sub in a backup here and there if your week starts bad. Draisaitl is so good he basically counts as 2 skaters. If you carry 3 goalies you also carry 14 skaters, so being so good you count as 2 has diminishing returns. Guentzel and Scheifele are both solid above average skaters. If vanecek regresses then it will be more even. But Swayman/Talbot/Fleury isn't bad. There are worse trios in this league.
