Has the future arrived early? The Moilers led all teams with 35 points this week, including 11 from Luongo's three wins and one shutout. Mo also benefited from eight different players chipping in for at least two points.
K-Blat's Blues extended their lead to its widest margin ever with a big 34-point week, including yet another shutout by Jaroslav Halak. See G-Phil's post below for an interesting analysis of the early impact of shutouts.
The biggest week from a non-goalie came from the Winter Claassics' Loui Eriksson, who had 7 points despite the Stars being shut-out last night in Colorado.
You know, it amazes me how fluid this is. The only constants are Roos at the bottom and KBlat at the top. I have moved into 7th place today. I also have 4 man-games tonight. Powder is the only other person above me to have any games today - so a huge 6 point night for me could potentially put me tied for 3rd again.
ReplyDeleteLong story short, I'm surprised are not seeing a bit more separation. Its still anyone's game.
Also, KBlat could be playing with no goalies at all and STILL be in first place.
ReplyDeleteFucker.
"The Kirshenblat Cup" actually sounds pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteIf KBlat's team gets off the roids and Nick's team gets a pulse then the standings could be ridiculously close... The tight standings so far has definitely added to the excitement level... great structure Micah/Powder.
ReplyDeleteIt was more exciting when my team was doing better and TJ Oshie didn't break his fucking ankle yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIf we're going to start complaining about things that only matter to our team, I'll point out that I have two islander forwards and the team has scored in it's last six games 0,1,1,2,1,1 goals. They have lost eight in a row.
ReplyDeleteYou drafted 2 islander forwards.... your perplexed that they stopped overachieving?
