Biatch really needs Little and Johnson back for Monday, or he's dressing half a team. Both guys are close, so maybe.

Zach6668 · Guru

Oh boy... no goalies for Mike in game 5. But he's got a much stronger lineup, I think. Still going to be a dog.

jeff · Guru

Jason Spezza
Tyler Toffoli
Thomas Vanek
Dennis Wideman
Joe Colborne
John Mitchell
Toby Enstrom
Justin Braun
Jordie Benn
Dallas

dallas is pretty godawful, I'm guessing I only pick up .5 with the goalies edge, at most. mike's lineup is phenomenal. mine has two people who haven't played a game in months. gg mike.

DaveyG · Guru

Dallas wasn't too shabby against the Hawks last night.

Zach6668 · Guru

Monahan has been a beast for you in this series... he'll score another goal and assist for ya.

Zach6668 · Guru

If everybody plays (a question mark for Little/Johnson still)... I'm still a 2.267 to 1.493 favorite.

The problem is that Little and Johnson represent 0.950 of that expectation, so them playing is huge for Biatch.

They're playing Buffalo.

Zach6668 · Guru

Ugh... Dougie Hamilton injury is bad news. Really hope it's nothing more than day to day. He's been my #3 d-man after Letang and Subban... and he plays basically every playoff game. Luckily not this game, but every one after, basically.

Ottawa_Biatch · Guru

I'm in training all day for work tmw, so might not be near a computer, and then I referee hockey after. So GL Zach if I can't get on before the games start.

Zach6668 · Guru

Gl Dan.

Ottawa_Biatch · Guru

Put Toronto in net instead

Zach6668 · Guru

I think that's the better decision, to be honest. Makes it really interesting with us having so many MIN players too.

At least Brodin/Pominville will help cancel out some goals... And on the other side, you basically have to put your eggs in one basket and hope for a shutout from Parise/Suter/Spurgeon, which would likely mean a good showing for your goalies. Given how weak the rest of the lineup is, you kinda have to gamble a bit, I'd think.

Seguin
JVR
Iginla
Hoffman
Thornton
Seabrook
Fiddler
Vlasic
Timonen
Robidas (even though he is out for the rest of the season - marked Day to day)

Pelle Lindbergh in net.

Yeah. This is prolly the end of the line. good luck

Zach6668 · Guru

Mike, I ran your numbers... you're not a very big dog... something like 0.1 pool point... Jeff's lineup is trash. :)

Zach6668 · Guru

Erik Johnson is officially out for Biatch tonight. Still awaiting word regarding Little.

Zach6668 · Guru

For some reason Victor Rask will be centering Carolina's top line tonight... so that's good, I suppose.

So I can throw up. . .. run the numbers for Saturday's against each other. I believe I was a 1-2 goal favorite . . . . . I know I have been running badly all year . . . . .despite the fact that I am 3 wins away from the final. Having the three top goal scorers in the league (Ovi, Nash and Seguin . . . . ) should lead to more goals scored. Eh. . . . Pelle will protect me. Or he will allow me to join him across the Rainbow Bridge.

Zach6668 · Guru

I'll try to remember to take a look when I go home. I definitely have not run those numbers yet. I just did today's game yesterday, and barely remember it... lol

Zach6668 · Guru

Bryan Little isn't taking the morning skate, so he's looking pretty doubtful for tonight, after not practicing on Saturday.

Biatch is going to be in tough.

No, you were less than a half-goal favorite.

Zach6668 · Guru

My calculations for today:

(injured players removed)

KC Reserves: 1.335
Tulane Flyers: 1.132

Toronto Rocket: 2.297
asdfjkl; 0.617

Both favorites hold a 3-1 lead, although Jeff/Mike is basically a coinflip, and Biatch has a few things that could easily go his way and turn the tables pretty quick.

Zach6668 · Guru

Nice to have Gaborik assist both goals against my goalies.

Zach6668 · Guru

Welp, the Victor Rask call-up gamble is worth it. This was the 2nd of just two games that he was really needed for, and he responds with a goal.

Zach6668 · Guru

Update:

Rocket 1.5
asdfjkl; 0.0

KCR 1.0
Flyers -2.0

Zach6668 · Guru

Poor Mike Hoffman... back against the wall and the only guy to show up so far is Mike Hoffman.

Zach6668 · Guru

Biatch to within a half point... Monahan has been a beast in this series...

Zach6668 · Guru

... and tied... goddamn Karlsson.

Zach6668 · Guru

ooooh... just like that a 1 point swing as Suter assists on a goal against the Leafs.

Zach6668 · Guru

Well... here we are, down to the final 3 games...

Rocket 2.0 (Eberle)
asdfjkl; 1.5 (Monahan)**

KC Reserves 2.0 (Colborne, Mitchell, Wideman, Enstrom)
Tulane Flyers 0.0 (Iginla)**

*-currently holds OT
**-has OT lockedup

Twice my Score app has told me Seguin scored, only to take it away after. Poor Mike. He's down to Iginla and needs 2 goals in the last half of the 3rd.

Zach6668 · Guru

Biatch just needs an assist out of Monahan to take the lead, then fade a period of Eberle to stay alive. Hopefully I don't have to worry about the latter half of that statement.

Zach6668 · Guru

Probably the longest empty net situation of my life coming up in this game.

Zach6668 · Guru

Welll.... unofficial... but that's it...

Great season Biatch... I underestimated you coming in as an 8 seed, but your team had some serious strength up front...

Great season Mike... really wanted nothing to do with you in the playoffs... you had one of the strongest teams all year.

Jeff... expansion finals!! Did we ever end up making that bet with Steve for the first expansion team to win it all? Lol

Zach6668 · Guru

Round 2 - Game 5 - Monday, March 23, 2015

(3) Toronto Rocket 2.0
(8) asdfjkl; 1.5
Toronto Rocket win series 4-1

(5) KC Reserves 2.0
(7) Tulane Flyers 0.0
KC Reserves win series 4-1

Finals to start on Saturday.

did I cash by making the finals?

questions I never really thought I'd be asking

Zach6668 · Guru

$100 guarantee!

Zach6668 · Guru

It's a good year for me, fantasy-wise. I'm going to win the Reject Cup in the AHL tomorrow for $250.

jeff · Guru

I think I've put like $180 into this league so far? I forget.

rinswun · Guru

Well done guys. Can't believe it took you expansion guys so long!

rinswun · Guru

Good seasons Mike and Dan. Going out in the FCHL is always my worst fantasy sports day of the year so I feel your pain right now.

Ottawa_Biatch · Guru

Good season mike.

Congratulations Jeff and Zach.

I hate everything.

Adam · Guru

Good job expansionites.
