T-Bone: Sep 14, 2004; jakes did this?

Looks like you got the 2nd bye. And the 6th place team has a good roster so I could be in trouble.

w/r/t FA adds -- I believe you get him at a $1, yeah. Generally a player like that will get some FAAB attention but I guess people were sleeping, solid keeper for next year.

Yeeaaa, I not only mathed wrong, I also failed to notice that my opponent didn't meet goalie requirements. Glad I got the bye, I have quite a few players with only two games this week.

To be totally fair, I think I lead the league in margin of victory, but whenever I lose, I lose like 5 different categories by 1 or 2 each and lose 3-10, so I should've probably been in that 3-5 standings band and not getting in on the last day of the season. So I'm not sure if mine really constitutes that great of an upset. HDP going down in rd 1 was the only one that really shocked me

Looks Koopa over Ed was the only actual upset and, even though it was huge, it's really not as big of a gap as it looks. The playoff matchups by roto standings were actually 4 def. 1, 3 def. 7, 2 def. 5, and 6 def 8.

The playoff matchups if we were seeded by roto standings would've been me and T-Bone and I'm pretty sure I lose that handedly. Meanwhile, corn would've actually beaten Koopa 8-5, and both the top 2 seeds are still standing.

If you swap out T-Bone for Ed, the 4 best teams would actually be the ones still playing

This is cool, thanks for the write up.

I'd feel really good about my chances if I didn't lose Landeskog but still feel like I've got a good shot winning it all. Goaltending has obviously carried me all year.

Teemu Pokemon: Jun 19, 2004; To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause

There were 80 possible roto points for goaltending and you got 79 of them :stare:

The rest of the top-5:

Hot Dog Police: 67.5
Chico and Marty: 62
Mr. Holland's Anus: 60
Stepanwolf: 49.5

So there were three pretty good goaltending teams... then you.

I'm by far the best goaltending team left and I don't think I have a chance in hell. I think my best chance is to win saves and hope I can steal shutouts. Then If I can take 5 of the skater cats and there's no SHP, we would tie 7-7 and I should have the tiebreaker. I'm feeling like I'm gonna get swept in the goalie cats unless I have an incredible week and I'm already one foot in the bucket with neither Hart nor Lehner playing tonight

e: top 5 skater points

Hot Dog Police: 112
Dartmouth Ferries: 106.5
Anttifa: 103
Blake's Pickle Juice: 103
A Kinkaid Skeleton: 103

After Dubynk got his shutout I benched him for the rest of the week and dropped Mrazek to load up on blocks for the final day. Didn't think I'd get a bunch of those categories back, especially +/- after Aho's -5 stinker earlier in the week.

mentholmoose: Nov 5, 2009; YKNOW THERES ONLY ONE DIRECTION I KNOW AND THATS DRIVIN STRAIGHT TO THE NET

Going into this offseason without a championship in HHL is gonna suck, I'm ineligible to keep Scheifele next year and he was easily my best non-goalie player.

Though the ridiculous deal I got drafting Mark Stone this season sort of makes up for it.

I'm thinking I'm gonna keep:

Mark Stone ($9 -> $11)
Timo Meier ($6 -> $8)
John Carlson ($23 -> $28)
Erik Karlsson ($61 -> $74) or Claude Giroux ($60 -> $72)

next season, though that's obviously due to change depending on things.

I don't think I want to talk about my shitass LSL and LOL teams right now. Thank god they're redraft leagues.
