Covering my bases with Panarin/Ehlers in my lineup, but I'm sure they'll be replaced by my top 2 Fs in the taxi squad (McCann, RNH)... damn would be nice to have 2 of my top 3 forwards for a game 7.
Actually yeah, counting teams that just don't play, me too, with Pavelski out. Bah. Oh well, fair shot, flip a coin and see what happens. One of us is gonna be bummed out later.
Any thought to maybe having Game 7 of finals next year say a week before the end of the season? Certainly gives a better chance of getting the top players in the lineup

Certainly worth considering. I think with Seattle, we'll have a few more game nights to pick from. We'll have to discuss it when the schedule is released.
This season is obv a bit wonky with scheduling, so today, I think it's the last game for only like 10 teams or something, plus there's a long layoff before the playoffs because of all the re-scheduled games yet to come. Doesn't seem like anyone being rested for no reason just yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Rockets have 1 period of Spurgeon, full games of Hertl, Kane, Nugent-Hopkins.
Unreal. Great series Zach. Would love to say I enjoyed the sweat but that would be a lie! Such a close matchup we had going. A series for the ages for sure.
100% what Arp said. Huge kudos and thanks Zach for keeping the FCHL show on the road during this unique season. It’s massively appreciated by all of us.

Congratulations Ollie! All the more impressive seeing you're 5,000+ km away, although I suspect you've figured out a way to benefit from being a few hours ahead of us... I just haven't figured out how you do it yet.
Great job, Zach! So close to the double (triple?) whammy while keeping this pool going. Thank you!
Great job everyone! Hopefully next season will be less chaotic
