One tweak and that's all it took to agree. Tyler Johnson is the "weak link" in this deal, but, since I follow the Bolts more than anyone here, I also know that coach Cooper has been giving him time with either Point or Stamkos and he has played a bit better because of it. Whether that stays that way remains to be seen, but he was worth including in the package for me to get an upgrade in goal, as I have plenty of solid defensemen. Yeah, I agree he's the weak link here, but it's educated risk and also the trade-off you kind of have to pay given the goalie situation. I just think it was a really good trade for both of you. Strong moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about my tenth move to improve my offense, Eichel, (ugh!) Schenn, Makar, Guentzel, Barrie, Zibenajad, all brought in and still second from bottom in goals scored. I know I am right in the thick of things but of my three teams this is my smoke and mirrors club and the one I am least satisfied with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMN! Rux, i need you to pull a rabbit out of your hat this week. Maybe if you trade me Tristan Jarry in NAHANA he will suddenly go on Covid protocol or break his femur and Yave owns him here? its currently a 3 way race for those 2 first round Bi spots. Dumba and I play each other next week in a pretty important match too since he is currently #2 and that can only help Yave, who is right there in 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 "Happy" would be too strong a word, but this may have been the first time I've felt good about a 5-8 loss in a week matchup. It's kind of like being glad to walk away from a fiery car accident with a tanker truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, I really do I went into Sunday hoping to crush you but everything broke wrong for me and right for you right down to the brilliant toe save by Blackwood, that win/40 saves/shutout tightened it up. Good match. I feel the opposite of you, I feel I left a few points on the table somewhere, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Man this fight for the top 2 First round bi spots is going to be tight.

I think Boston having a stupid good night last night and ppd days on his goalies did it. My Boston 1st line combined for 6 goals and 2 assists last night. Was a pleasant surprise to wake up to given I was down going to sleep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck the next couple of days, been a nailbiter so far. On 3/6/2021 at 3:29 PM, pilldoc said: Appreciate the kind words but there is still a lot of hockey to be played. Between Joe and yourself you are never easy teams to go against. And good luck to you ...... My team is sinking faster than the Titanic. Now tied with @TropicalFruitGirl26 for the 6th and final playoff spot. In addition to that we are also matched up this week. Winner grabs the 6th spot going into the last week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did beat me in the 1 week we met, which makes me nervous. It's all in vain if I can't beat you in the playoffs. In both leagues lol. Good luck to all the teams playing in the first round.
