Looks even better when you remember they play in front of the best goalie duo in the league.

Also ESPN sucks. Best they could do for opening night is a mediocre college football announcer and a cringe lord for play by play tonight.

Just hits and blocks. Glad they don’t count PIMs. Never understood that as a positive lol.

What’s the lineups like for your league? Wild that Tatar is available.

20 man rosters. 2 of each forward position (6), 4 D, 2 utility and 2 goalie spots open a day to be played and also 6 bench spots. Minimum of 2 goalie starts a week.

We've had 10 skater stats for over 10 years in this pool now so its just going to stick. I would imagine the other stat that counts in ours, you guys dont use besides PIM's, is +/-.

Not sure how big your rosters are but if they're 20 like ours, and you have 2 extra teams over ours, then that's another 40 players drafted. I would imagine Tatar would of been drafted if we had that many teams.

Correct. Which is why I took Vasy in the top 5.

Wow, that's a crazy set up haha.

Yeah Vasy went 1st overall in ours. We count 5 goalie stats and you have to have at least 2 starts a week for the goalie stats to count at all.

EDIT: we have 3 IR spots but the player has to be listed as IR and we have nothing for NA or O

Sullivan may be stubborn and arrogant but he knows who the best center is.

Yeah I took him 3rd overall over Mackinnon. We need at least 2 starts a week as well so I needed at least one stud. Holtby is my backup for now. Thinking he could revive his career with the system Dallas plays.

We have 2 NAs so I snagged Denisenko and Turcotte for now.

I was going to take a goalie with my 2nd pick at 21st but Sid was still there and we took down the championship together last season when I picked him at 7th. Couldn't not take him haha.

My goalies are Grubauer, Hart and Jones....so not ideal haha but you never know.

Last year I won it all with basically just Rask and Halak, I had Murray as well but he hurt me almost every week so I stopped starting him around the half point...picked up Swayman towards end of season and he had some solid numbers for me.

I was trying to snag Geno and stash him but he got taken a bit early.

I was 3 picks away from doing it in the 13th round...my buddy took him at 201st overall and I had him lined up in my que for 204th overall haha.

First day of the NHL season and a new Penguin injury. Sounds about right.

- joecool2931

I'm pretty sure he is being serious.

It's finally back. I am ready to be disappointed again.
- burgh4life87

Too early. Pens disappoint us at the end of the season, not the beginning.

DOC demotion incoming when he fails to produce next to Boyle and Lafferty.

I can't really get behind that comment...we've been spoiled. Though I will say last season was definitely more disappointing to me than than the 3 preceding it. They weren't absolutely gassed in the 2nd round going for an extremely unlikely 3peat vs the cup winners that year or playing in a best 3 outta 5 play in round in August in Covid times, which was just weird. The 1st round sweep of 2019 really did suck BUT I liked last years roster and how they were playing overall better than the 2019 edition...then...Jarry.
