Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I think both guys are roughly equal in value with those categories. Is it a keeper? Comes down to preference. Makar is the bigger name, but Girard is no slouch.

With Brendan Gallagher on IR for the rest of the fantasy season I'd like to trade him to somebody looking for a cheap keeper next year in HHL. Alright goal scorer, good source of hits and especially shots on goal, he could be yours for $20 next season and kept a year after that. Max Comtois is also available, good source of hits and blocks from a goal scoring forward, $2 next year and can be kept another year after. Would be looking for a center, hopefully a good hitting center, pure rentals are fine.

Well, Bishop being out for the season throws a wrench into my playoff goaltending plans.

Anyone interested in a cheap keeper for next season? He'd be either $9 or $3 to keep (not really sure, since I dropped him and picked him up again at some point this season).

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

Connor McDavid's big season was totally wasted in LSL on me and my garbage-rear end draft. :rip:

Honestly, 10th (and juuuust outside of the playoff cutoff thanks to a very strong final week) is significantly better than I thought I'd do, since I hadn't played any fantasy at all for several years. It was a lot of fun still and I look forward to playing again next year when hopefully things aren't so hosed up by COVID.

I'm Carolina-era Jim Rutherford. I won the championship in the first HHL season but I think since then I've been lovely more often than not.

Would be extremely cool for the Florida Panthers to randomly start some kid over Driedger tonight and gently caress with my Panthers goaltending tandem in LSL that has owned bones all year.

I'm like the Devils. My first four years, I was a powerhouse. I finished 3rd, 5th, 1st, and then 4th, and then have followed that up with 6 terrible years. I have made the playoffs once in those 6 years. No one really remembers that I was a contender.

I'm pretty sure I named my team "pretty much san jose" a couple seasons back, which still feels right. Mostly solid regular season performances, consistently disastrous postseasons.

It only took a prematurely cancelled season to finally earn my first asterisk.

I was banking on a Driedger start too.

The "kid" in question is the Panthers' future in nets. I just wish they'd given him a trial run later.

I trailed throughout the week. Tied things by the end of Friday night. Took a 14-9 lead after Saturday and, even though I had two fewer skaters available on Sunday (even after maxing out my player transactions on Saturday night), I figured I had enough of a lead in multiple categories to skate into the finals.

But my opponent had a helluva Sunday and flipped a few categories. I wound up holding on for a 12-11 win, but our +/- category was 6 for me and 5 for him. I was hoping like hell there wouldn't be a costly stat correction because if we wound up in a tie, he would have prevailed by virtue of being the 5th-ranked regular-season team compared to my 6th-place finish. As it turns out, I'm officially into the finals by the skin of my teeth!

Gonna need some major luck to pull off a championship though.

Also entertaining any interesting HHL trade offers, for... whatever. I just never make trades, so interested to see what people would be interested in.

Oh yeah, suppose I could make trades in HHL. Anybody want to give me a real solid keeper for Auston Matthews for the finals? And hell, you could probably keep him next year too at like $120-something.

Did they really set it by default that you could make trades in the playoffs? I'd rather not do that to be honest, seems pretty cheesy.

I think my keepers next year are going to be Tolvanen, Devon Toews, Toffoli, and Shesterkin, all for something like $18. Fine with that.

I am closing in on going to the championship round, I hope!
