AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 11/12

GAH

Just realized I've got three Leafs on my team. The Toronto stink has completely infected me.

I'll give you 3 marbles for Grabovski.

The idea of intentionally sitting goalies sits wrong with me, but how far do you have to be up in the goalie categories before you would bench your goalies rather than risk them turning a good week into a bad one? My goalie's this week have had an amazing start, and I don't think I can be caught in GAA or SV% unless I continue playing goalies (and it's possible I could still take wins even without playing another goalie game...though the worst case means a tie at this point in Wins).

So what do you think? Is it bad form to bench your goalies intentionally or smart strategy or what?

How badly do I want Kontiki to smell Da-Feet?

You manage your bench to win. It is part of the game.

Asking for a stick measurement may not be Don Cherry, but if it wins a playoff series it is the thing to do.

And besides, I never liked McSorley after he moved to LA and got the Hollywood hair.

I don't see anything wrong with sitting goalies intentionally. Like nye said, manage to win. I'm not going to lose the GAA and/or sv% categories due to your actions, I'm going to lose them because Bryzgalov has sucked so far this week.

I'd watch your other categories, though - my team is pretty good.

[Asher]

Nothing wrong with it.

I'm debating doing it myself.

I've got 3W, 1.00 GAA, and .966 sv%...

I'm at 3W, 0.73 GAA and .976 sv%....unfortunately when I asked the question I saw that I had 2 games on Saturday so that what I was asking about.....I didn't realize I have a game tonight though too....so have to see how that goes (Cam Ward in goal for Carolina facing the St Louis Blews).

Good yes, but good enough? No.

Thanks for the win

I look forward to beating you again come the playoffs

Thank you Brodeur for going on IR, so I could of picked up Brian Elliott and got his shutout win last night!

[Kontiki]

Holy hell has Bryzgalov been **** lately. And it's really great when your number one fantasy goalie has this to say in his latest post-game interview:

"I have zero confidence in myself right now. I'm terrible. I want to apologize to the fans and my teammates. I don't know what's going on. I have no answer for you guys. I thought the last game in Montreal was the worst, but today was worse."

I was looking around the league, and it looks like Joncha and I are each by far having the best week this week...but we're facing eachother.

:

Good strategy!

The league I am playing now though have a "saves" category to go with Wins, SV%. GAA and SHO -- so any time anyone sits their goalies they almost certainly lose that one category

I hate when that happens!! sounds like the guy that was praising up his team for their wins and .966 sv % but his opponent have Quick and his 3 straight shutouts

[Asher]

Number one, with a bullet
