AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 07/08: IV The Rookie Menace

[Flubber]

Oh and how deep is my goaltending ??? from last night

Nabokov-- shutout
Ememry - 1 goal allowed
Harding -- 1 goal allowed
Kolzig -- 2 goals allowed

Too bad only two of them can play at a time (but i lucked out in making the right call on that)

I take it you didn't like your chances either, since you added another skater to your team at the last minute to try to get the skatergame count in your favour to see if that works.

Wouldn't that be expected behavior in a close race on some categories?

I wouldn't doubt that some of your moves were similar too-- and I see nothing wrong with that

Although Toskala has not been that great either, my reason to avoid him would be his run and gun team--

I know I certainly wouldn't want a goalie on my fantasy team where the best defensive player infront of him is Hal Gill.

Yeah, it's fair game but I still find it funny from a desperation point of view. It's one thing to add skaters to even up the skatergame count, it's another to take an even count and add skaters to try to get the advantage that way.

As I said, it's fair game, but it smacks of desperation. It's awesome.

Harding continues to perform extremely solidly.

Look for him to take more games away from Backstrom (who has been great himself, but not as great).

So , unless I miss my count, the Future Champions didn't get their goalie games in-- So instead of 3-2-3 currently its 5-1-2

I just want Brunette to get ONE PPG-- pleeeaasse

I don't really understand your distinction. If a guy has more skater games at the outset, thats usually a choice gained by usually having fewer goalie games
(ie carrying only 2 goalies).

If the guy that churns players negates the skater game advantage (making up for their fewer skater games while retaining a goalie game advantage) I see no reason the skater heavy roster should not also churn if they wish to try to maintain an advantage.

Its not a big deal anyway. You can only churn using the castoffs anyway and I would much rather have 2 games from crosbie than 5 from assorted 3rd liners. My main reason for churning has been that I have not found anyone I care to keep

[Flubber]

Oh and to those that probably think I am crazy to have 5 goalies-- the upcoming week is a big reason for it-- Ottawa plays only ONCE-- while Minny has a back-to-back on the road in Calgary and Edmonton so Harding is very likely to play once

I really like what Harding brings-- I know he has only played twice but two wins, a shutout and a .986 sv% speaks volumes-- The guy is due for a bad game but I don't think he has had a bad one in the bigs yet

That Rolston PPG hurts. Swings 2 stats in nye's favour. Fortunately I barely lead now in +/- now.

well a regular goal was pretty good

****ing Koivu.

Another series decided by skater game whoring.

Stastny goes -1, Koivu goes +1 and nye wins the weak 4-3 on his last-minute addition to give him the edge in skater games.

Yea, that's right, since Norrena didn't get the start today. I haven't yet gotten to the point of remembering to set my lineup all the time...

I evened it up, you added a skater game. I've also got an open position on my roster with Semin on the IR and no one good enough to really fit it.
