Wow. That's pretty terrible.

Though my goalies in my league started out slow (Lehner and Elliott). Both seem to have picked things up a bit though.

Goalie heavy 12 man league with 2 keepers so it was hard to get any good goalie. I'm just hoping I can play the hot hand and get the GAA, SV%, SO, and maybe the Wins categories. If I'm losing those I just play as many as possible and try to get more saves to win that category. It's not a great strategy but so far it's not going too bad.

Quick
Rinne
Talbot


Thus far Talbot is the best of the bunch.

So, with Bogo out, what do we think the D pairings end up looking like? I keep going through things in my head and I'm not sure that I'm a huge fan of any of them....

It's been a very strange year for goalies thus far, that's for sure. But, it's still early in the season. Though you're still going to be without Quick for quite awhile.

Rotoworld has him listed as DTD. However, it also says he exited the game against Washington last night....

Thanks for that info, one less site to bother looking at in my hunt for a good, clean landing site for info.

We can start 3 goalies a night but still have a start limit of 10 on the week.

Well has Gorges stayed with Risto still? If so:

Gorges-Ristolainen
Kulikov-Nelson
McCabe-Franson

I'm not a huge fan of them but I'm not a huge fan of how they were yesterday or the day before that but it's been working. Still need another guy but until then I'm good running with this

It also shows that Drouin is left last night's game with a lower body injury, but has him listed as DTD with an upper body injury.

Whoever is in charge of the proofreading/fact checking for that site needs to be fired.

My instinct tells me that this is the time to move Kulikov up to pair 1 with Risto, but that leaves it pretty unbalanced.

Looking at the conf standings , I don't see the Sabres near the bottom

I just picked up Greiss and didn't do it soon enough to play him in last night's game, which was nice since he got demolished. But I also have Mason and Lehtonen so if you combine them all together I almost have one solid goalie.

You need to spend way more resources getting quality netminders.

nelson is a righty, so they could just insert him there

Taylor Fedun is on a tear in rochester, 6 points in 7 games, also a righty and probably deserves the call up

imagine if they beat the flyers and flames

then your adding 2 more points to the total

I'll admit I was frustrated after the Minny game last week. But it wasn't because I thought the team was as bad as they had looked. I was mad because I knew they should be better than that.

Also, did anyone else notice the crazy speed Bailey used to negate an icing at about 4 mins remaining in the 3rd period? Holy crap!!!

Had a couple no-shows last night. My only skater tonight is Pavelski

That was actually a very good Wild team that we beat last night. Dubnyk had a scoreless streak and that was only their second loss in regulation this year. They were a conference leader. Then again so is EDM so IDK. It's early.

Been amazing to see Moulson's name on the scoresheet this year. Hopefully we get some bodies back soon for our top 6 to round out (Kane and Eichel)

everyone should have been frustrated


between the flame and nuck game, then the choke vs the flyers

at home, you should not be getting blown out, and they did in both games

maybe now the pressure is off them a bit and they can avoid gripping the stick tight and just play basic hockey with crisp passes

I enjoy watching the games when I get home from work if there is effort, and it seems to be there now


even lehner looked strong and had much better control of rebounds

The team looks relaxed, confident in making plays and taking chances, and not afraid to make many mistakes. Do you think Disco has changed up his game plan? The pace of play and positioning seems to be quite different from those blah games like Minny last Thursday.

To me I see a bit of fire in each of the guys I typically would not-- a desire to succeed if you will. Granted that's from a TV-view perspective. But makes me a happy camper.

And Bailey--he's the real deal I think. Strong like bull

I got a lot of hate for saying moulson and gionta was not the problem, and would not be an issue moving forward
