it's really good

Homie/Gerbe, going with Savage cost me. Was for last playoff spot (only 4 make it) in my keeper league. Could’ve been the first to repeat and first to 4. Came down to points for against another team I wasn’t even playing. He was up around 3 with Landry and I had Cooks. When disasters strikes...Mighta had A-Rod back for the playoffs.

Stamkos
Kopitar
Schenn
Scheifele
McDavid
MacKinnon
Tavares
Giroux
Trochek

ALL of them are ABOVE .ppg

Crosby
Kuznetsov
Monahan
Malkin
Marchessault
Matthews

ALL of them at exactly .ppg

Yet Jack has an excuse because he's 21 and on an awful team?

- BeadyEyedDouche


Last year 5 centers finished with 1 or more ppg.

McDavid
Crosby
Malkin
Backstrom
Scheifele

There should be a couple more this year, but we're not going to have 9 more.

it should have been the expectation for last season, since we, you know, had the #1 power-play
- BeadyEyedDouche


Um, he was in the top 10 last year, 8th in fact.

Savage being absolute trash isn’t the reason why he had a bad week. He had a bad week because he got clobbered and concussed dumb poop, which is completely random. Combine his points with Yates and I would’ve been fine.

If u were in a position where u had to start Savage, that’s an epic fail on your part
That’s just brutal
U deserved to lose

How did the Sens devolve from last season so quickly.
- IonSabres


They weren’t actually good last season
Ottawa eaked their way I to the playoffs bc the East was weak,
and then got a pretty Epic performance by a 1 legged Karlsson to get them as far as they went
And Bobby Ryan was pretty good too,
after struggling mightily for the last year or so he’d been there

My point...
them taking a big step back shouldn’t be a surprise
Not even Karlsson can will them to win every night over the course of a season

They should probably trade him though
Just like we should with Jack & Sam & Kane & O’Reilly, etc etc

I mean,
They suck with him...
so why keep Karlsson?

I’d have to take a look at your matchups...

But definitely Rudolph
Olsen’s foot is still bothering him too much to depend on him

Hard to bench Rodgers if he plays
And how did u get those 3 QBs to choose from?
Damn...

D.Thomas is an absolute beast, but Denver’s qb situation scares me
I feel like he could be boom or bust

No to Mike Davis has the lowest ceiling of your options

I’d say Mixon & Diggs, but I’d have to check the matchups


Edit

Thomas has a real nice matchup against Indi
That might be too tough for u to pass up
So then,
Mixon vs Diggs is probably a toss up

Cousins against ARZ seems like a no brainer
But Cam Vs A Rod could be a shootout
I don’t think u have a bad choice at qb

U seem to have a great team though
Good luck!

- homiedclown


Good...
up his trade value!

Even though he’s played pretty well,
didn’t that first goal allowed tonight drive u nuts?

He again overplayed the first shot...
(seems like this happens a lot when he goes left to right)
and hence, was so out of position he had to try that weird 360 move to somehow get back & cover the open net he left

When he can stay in position,
he’s pretty solid bc he’s so big

But I’m 100% convinced that he gets his team beat in a 7 game series 9/10 times

He’s a mid-level starter,
at best
And that’s probably being generous

I don’t think he can ever get to being a top10 goalie
I just don’t see it

Seems like u did some great drafting this year sir

Injuries have crushed me in both leagues
I’m in the semi-finals in my $$$ League,
but I had Wentz just get hurt
So many injuries on that team that my only starters this week & day 1 are Howard(chi) & my freaking kicker
Ugh

Oh well...
lots of luck involved in Fantasy
Just had one of those years I guess

Congrats again though
And good luck bud!

- homiedclown


I’m hoping for a 2nd
But if we could get a decent prospect instead, that’s cool too

It probably comes off like i hate Lehner...
but I feel the same about him as I do Tyrod

Are they good enough to be starters?
Yes
But are they good enough to get us where we wanna go?
Extremely doubtful

So it makes me want to move on

Just started watching the game after work... jesus christ. Wtf is puliot doing being on the ice with eichel. Jesus (frank)ing christ. A guy that got bought out and scrapped by a team that has 28 points (i believe), is on our top line, with our "franchise "generational" talent". This should speak volumes as to where we are at this point in time as a team/franchise. Cmon phil, wtf?
Here goes the next 75 minutes....
