LOL ... thats ok..I had a massive brain freeze sitting Marchand! Congrats on the win this past week. Had I played Marchand and Jenner like I usually do then the final score would have been far closer. Again Congrats on the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hmmm. Had 4 guys to JR's 8 last night and I am only behind by 5 points to start the week. Ill take that. Now I just need to get a substantial lead that can be considered safe over JR. So like 100 point lead? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Damnit. Why do I always have mega weeks against teams that I don't need mega weeks against and bad weeks against the terrific ? Last week I had near doubled my opponent with 198 to 104, this week I am losing 134 to 141 when my average is usually 160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Gripe: Headed for a loss this week. This will snap a 7-week winning streak and any chance to catch the top spot will be gone as well. Oh well. This week's match up was particularly irritating. Why? Because my opponent (Leafs Nation) is 7-11, has had trouble being consistent, yet he matches up WELL against MY team! If he had a bad day, I had a slightly worse one. If I had a good day this week, he topped it by just a bit more. I have been behind every day this week in every matchup...and usually not by much. Leafs Nation has the Lightning's number one C (Stamkos), the number one D (Hedman), and the starting goalie (Bishop)....while I have the number TWO C (Johnson) and number TWO D (Stralman)....doesn't take a mathematician to realize that number one's will usually outperform number twos all other things equal. Kinda a slap in the face being beat on a week using my own real life team players against me too. My mistake here likely was playing my Bolts players...should have gone another way (my benched players kicked arse this week...grrr), seeing as how Leafs held the better Bolts players in this particular match up. At any rate, I have been prepping to face the number one team in Bantam, which starts tomorrow. And although my chances to catch him are gone, still would be nice to be able to knock him down a peg with a win. Bambi has some real good players on his team, but I came awful close to beating him last time we faced off...and I was handicapped by not having my top two C's then....well, I have them now....even though Anze Kopitar may be a bit suspect with injury right now. Still though, I am NOT hurting at C.... Johnson, Kesler, Krejci, Spezza...I should be ok there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 This is insane. JR and I are tied with 149.9. I have Stepan playing and he has Getzlaf, Rakell and Green playing. I need a BIG night here Stepan.....Oh, and I need Green on the ice at ES when you score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Stepan scores 2 ES goals with green on the ice, Rakell already has an assist and Getzlaf looks engaged this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Allen has a chance to retake the starter spot, further hampering me i saw that last night. Fortunately I have Allen...but I did not start him because I saw Elliot got the starting nod and the Blues have back to back games at the end of the week so I figured they would split giving Allen only 2 games this week. So I started Anderson. Not a bad choice since the Sens play 3 week teams this week. However I do have Elliot in the Bantam league. So I feel your pain. And another thing...can GM's stop having have their best games against me. I barely got by HJ last week because all his players finally decided to have good weeks. He had is BEST week yet this year and of course it comes against me. He scores a 137. His previous weekly scores were : 96.3 121.5 126.7 62.8 66.6 91.4 86.5 104.7 71.9 110.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 3 leagues: ESPN I have been pretty hot lately climbing into 3rd place at 12-7. No shame there, I put a lot of eggs in the Carey Price basket and had to trade Backstrom for Quick and Kesler to recover after it became apparent that Price was gone long term. The boys have responded, both adds have been lifesavers. Nahana I started slow but have steadily been moving up the ranks, currently sit 4th and playing the 3rd place team. If my boys turn it on over the weekend I could pressure him for third, a very remote shot still if every single thing breaks right of fighting Rux for the coveted second place as the top two get a bye. Philly.com I have owned it from week 1, I started hot and got hotter, a bit of a mid season lull did not hurt me as I played .500 for a five week time frame as the boys dealt with injuries. They are back now, I pretty much have the President trophy wrapped up so this week I am looking to make a deal for a third goalie and set my roster for the postseason with two regular season weeks to go. Overall, I have had better fantasy seasons but it has not been bad, If I had not lost Price in ESPN I really think I would be challenging for the top spot with HF but I have a dangerous mix. Nahana I think I could do some damage in the postseason and I went wire to wire winning it all in Philly last year, I would like to do the same this season,back to back. Plus, this is ego but I looked up the highest winning pct. in league history which HF had at .634 (last year mine was .633, grrr!) and I currently sit at .650 so it would be nice to break that record as well.

That trade is turning into the worst mistake I made in any league this season. DUbnyk was as consistent as Quick UNTIL I made that trade. once the ink was dry, Dubnyk and the wild started playing like crap. Kesler of course I did not want to give up and of course, caught on fire right after I gave him to you NAHANA, you have a tough week with Metadeke Then you face......ME! MWAHAHAHAA My team has largely been and is still being sold for picks, but I am still giving everyone problems I had Rux on the ropes until the end of the week.

I didn't know Giroux's status and thought maybe he would be back as Giroux was slated for 4 starts vs 4 for Barkov. errrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ugh. Started the week with both Barkov and Giroux injured. Dressed Giroux, sat Barkov. Barkov manages to play last night, puts up 8 points. They have another game, so it'll drop to 4 pending what he does, but I am fighting for a playoff spot and playing one of the teams ahead of me - those 4 points right now would swing me into the lead. My one hope is Giroux comes back on Saturday and has a similar big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I agree, must win week. After starting out very hot at the beginning of the season, my All Star team has struggled of late. First Lunqvist had that horrid month of December, then Allen has been out for the past several weeks. I've been 2-4 the last 6 weeks. Finally having a good week. A win still keeps me in the running for the #2, or #3 seed. #1 is now out of reach. I end the season vs Team Dunlop and Inside Edge who have both struggled this year. If I can finish at 14-7-1 I won't complain. I can't complain about the Bantam League. After taking over the team I have gone 7-3 anc currently sitting as the #7 seed. My goal was just to make the playoffs. I'm hoping to beat Dumpster, but it will be close. I finish against Team Gordon (losing record) and Leafs Nation (losing record, but has done well of late). If I go 2-1 in the last 3 games, I finish the season at 11-11 and that should be enough to secure a playoff spot. Zz left this team a mess, but I am proud how I have turned it into a winner with the potential to make some noise in the playoffs. I sat Barkov this week not know his status. He returns to the line-up next week. Losing Elliot hurts, but it was just going to be a matter of tijme before Allen won his starting spot back again. (I have Allen in the other league). Mrazek and Lundqvist are my other goalies. I've made some bad choices this year and have learned from them moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
