J0e Th0rnton Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. See you in the finals, not gonna lie I was rooting for dumba because I match up better and Hellboy has something to play for and won't be rested in the 12 day 'week'. Good luck my friend, here again, going for one for the thumb .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good luck! May both of our teams shine! Cupquest is one hell of a tough league, subtle differences between that and sweet 16. I knew our match would go to the wire, I wrote faceoffs off early and went hits-blocks and still split those two with you. Only reason I won was scoring which is never a strength of my teams. That and two very unexpected goalie shutouts Saturday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I like the concept of Consolation bracket (I'd say Loser bracket). You can still go on playing with less pressure and add some noise for the Championship teams by stealing them some streams lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Im getting my arse kicked, but the score is still 7-9 lol My team forgot how to score this week. And watching my D squad go down injured with only 1 move left sucks considering we are so close in hits and blocks lol Im considering gambling and starting carter hart tonight. Benching Saros in hopes Saros looks like crap(Rad is carrying him in NAHANA too) in fact, as i said it, im going for it. Splitting wins just ties me in that category. I need to flip Wins and GAA and get a shorthanded point to make a fight of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how i tried and for a brief day i thought it was possible to catch ya and repeat 2018 lol Man this one was so freaking close, all but a scant few cats could have went either way and both of us had absolutely fantastic goaltending almost every night. One for the thumb. Five in a row in this league. Gotta admit it is a good feeling building my teams off god players and role players and not superstars. Shester/Georgiev were as close to Superstar status that my team ever has and my goaltending was good but not great in the finals, i was carried through by my usual Trouba/Eller/Meier/Hyman/Pietrangelo types, guys who all serve an exact purpose. Have to admit it was much more difficultwith the smaller roster but a lot of fun this year. congrats to @J0e Th0rnton for another great year as well. Looking forward to next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED THIS YEAR! It was a slightly different format than in past years. Having 16 teams was certainly a challenge. I would like to keep the same format for next year. Congrats to @yave1964 who again brings home the gold! Here are the final standings 2022-23 Season.... So the draft will be a bit different than in previous years. We are going more NHL style and invert the draft order based on finish. This will only affect 1st through 8th. Obviously with Dave being the Champion, he will draft 16th. @J0e Th0rntonis runner up and will draft 15th, etc ...... The 8 GMs who did not make the playoffs will have a certain # of weighted balls to determine draft order via this link: https://www.fantasydraftlottery.com/draftResults.html the number of balls I used came from the NHL Tankathon and I just rounded up (Obviously disregard the NHL teams) The final result is this ....... since I had a hard time finding GM's this year, everyone is invited back. If you do not want to participate next year, please let me know. Again ...thanks for a great year! ~doc Edited April 21, 2023 by pilldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'll pick McDavid and he'll be on and off IR the entire year. As a suggestion for next year, Dave should not be allowed to participate the draft. He should have to build his entire team off the scraps on the waiver wire. The frigging guy will win the league again anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get my tail handed to me but would be fun to see. I think I'm a 12 team league I might not embarrass myself too much but 16 teams might be too much of a stretch, especially in net, lol. One last comment about this season and I will put a pin in it. @J0e Th0rnton my arch nemesis and I played each other a record four times, I bested him in all four by tiny amounts beating him by a combined eight points. I can honestly see Koji banging his Head against a wall, lol. He had a hell of a year and a hell of a team and truthfully if we had played in either the first or second round he might have beat me, although facing him my seven moves would have been used differently and especially the first round I would have used the last two weeks worth of moves to face him. But seriously overall this was the best year I ever had and still barely snuck past an incredible team. Lots of respect for a great owner who is always right there in every league at the end. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
