The Fylanders remain atop the standings for the 2nd week in a row. I keep telling myself that there is simply no way MAF is going to break the modern-day KL record for goalie points, and that there is no way Joe Pavelski, Nicklas Backstrom, JVR, Sean Monahan, Brent Burns, and Michael Grabner are going to all be PPG+ players this year, but so far they've proven me wrong.
Rising:
The Milan Micahleks. They have gone from last place to a somewhat more appropriate 8th place.
Falling:
The G-Phil's Flyers. Good production throughout the lineup but just not enough to keep up with the top 3 this week. Also the Quebec Rordiques, who have fallen from 13th last week to dead last.The KL's newest GM inherited a team that is going to require patience and careful guidance.
Surprises:
The expansion Los Samjawors Kings have moved into a playoff position, having hovered just outside for the bulk of this young season. Is this a plucky young team punching outside its weight class trying to prove the old guard wrong, or is this merely an artifact of a small sample size?
No chance Monahan and Grabner continue but expecting 60 from JVR and 70+ from Backstrom is realistic. Fleury keeps winning. Only a matter of time before falling comfortably into the 4-6 position though.
ReplyDeleteThe longer Vokoun is out/the Pens don't deal for a veteran backup, the better for you. Fleury can't keep starting every game though.
ReplyDeleteI think 60 from JVR is pretty optimistic. Almost as optimistic as me believing that Kunitz will get 100 points (he will).
Also feeling for the Canicks right now. Team totally lacks commitment. Ericsson CONVENIENTLY suffered a 2-3 week shoulder injury just as his daughter was born. I'm not buying it.
Worth pointing out that the goalie projections are inflated across the board as it is based on them playing all the remaining games.
