    Good matchup this week!
    You started out way ahead, then things evened up, then categories flipped all over the place, and our match will now come down to today.

    9-8-1 in my favor, but a number of cats that can go one way or the other after today's games!

    Yep.  Great Match up TFG.  My goalies are struggling out of the gate this season.  But it does seem that Woll is now on track so hopefully I can improve my goalie stats quickly.

  2. I've enjoyed having Bergeron as my star center in my Keeper league for quite a few years. I suspect Marchand will be retiring soon also.  I can't see him getting 100 pts with any other center.  This definitely makes it easier on my keeper choices for next season.  :cointoss:

    f101 was, I think, the lone voice in the wilderness that objected to the prevailing "wisdom" and argued in support of Hakstol.   Probably the only one here unsurprised by his success so far out in Seattle.

     

    I'm glad Hakstol has been given the 2nd chance in Seattle.  It's quite possible that his role in helping draft the team played a part in gaining player types that best fit his coaching strategy, which is more similar to selecting HH players for his North Dakota collegiate team.  In Philly he had a team in place to join and make work.  It's all possible that it was the combination of Hextall and players that didn't mesh with his game plan.  And as said above, good coaches learn from their mistakes too.

  4. What is up with the department of player safety?  I looked briefly at the headlines today and saw  3 players recently fined.     Fines now for game penalties?

  5. Welcome @Zzeke to the site.  You've put up some really quality posts.    

     

    At this point I would just be happy with being able to have a healthy season.  3 weeks to starting camp doesn't seem like a possibility, at the moment but maybe Feb going though part of the summer wouldn't be such a bad thing.  

     

    I'm excited to see what Sandin can do when they take the ice for sure.

    I don't know... he got paid, handsomely. 15 seasons and the team didn't really advance, anywhere.

     

    Over $ 70 million dollars for three 20+ goal seasons (20, 20, 22) and never over 50 assists in a season. Pretty rough...

     

    A true leader willing to sacrifice his body and drop his gloves or just a yapper who had his gloves cemented throughout his career?

     

    Which was bigger; his love for the green team or love for his role as an unquestioned captain in an NHL team? G

     

    I think I'll save any high praises of him. 

    I think he did the job he was paid to do to the best of his abilities.   Mikko logged a lot of minutes probably too many too often.

     

    It isn't MIkko's fault the Wild never went out and gained #1 and #2 centers to build the future on.   And it isn't Mikko's fault that management never obtained nor nutured another player to take over the C role during his reign..  

     

    I believe he does deserve to have his jersey lifted to the rafters.  He deserves to be honored and remembered for his career and legacy that he will leave in Minnesota.

    Damn I just realized I screwed mine up is there anyway to fix it.

     

    I just wanted to pick the Flyers to win it and some how I picked the Avs.

     

    I don't think so.  These are set up by those at NHL.com.   Colorado is a popular choice also.
