Didn't lose a single player and he's last. I'm more or less happy with my team. Unless you get the bracket 100% right, you will always pick players that don't go on. Or ones with zeros. If they go far, they will get something. I think there should be a handicap for anyone that picked Oilers players. Automatic -10. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a pool, I know those sap suckers are gonna put some PP points on the board. I will be happy when they’re out, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is for fun, and I'd rather go out early aiming for glory than lose-out to someone by a few points in the end... that would burn me more! lol I've been lucky to this point that the 3 teams I chose all made the 2nd round - otherwise I'd be out already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a superstitious type, so I wasn't really wanting to plug my picks in. But, what the heck. I did brackets etc. This isn't really any different. I find it refreshing that both Mangiapane and Coleman have started scoring. Coleman is a big gamer, so I know he will be involved, if not scoring. Pure gold. Recent cup winner. Liked having him talk about the killer instinct. It was sorely lacking before and now it's a matter of just doing it from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman has been our best pick up this year by far in my opinion.

Even if McD only plays 3 more games, he will have 20 points very soon.. that was the hope ya! And yet I hate McD! I don’t see him getting any different from any other talented player who deserves calls, or doesn’t get calls. How many points could Gaudreau have If they called every hack on him and thus, would have had a cleaner attack to the net? Why give him any more preferences than players like Johnny? They’re all top players and yes they should be all called equally. matte refs are trying to hrlp my pool though. That one penalty where our guy lightly pushes the oiler and he goes down because of momentum is normally not called. love our pK so far. I will gladly lose the pool to shut him down.

I screwed up on mine. i am one of those that thinks I jinx the team if I pick them.

I quickly sent to RD… One lesser pick is really all. And it remains to be seen if it's really a bad one. FLA is going to decide a lot of fates here. Who would have thought the league leader possibly getting swept. Right, the Pres trophy curse. The East top seeds in tough. NYR perhaps near the end of their rope against a defensive team. FLA out matched against a bruised cup winner. The West, up in the air. STL looks to have figured out COL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 If we can keep McPoints off the scoreboard, some of us stand a chance. Bennett and his dumb momentum killing penalties cost FLA a goal today. On a side note, I like the way TNT uses graphics. Shows the PP time remaining right on the ice. And shows shift time for a team hemmed in. SN is so 90's in their coverage. The reason why some players get open is the things done by other players. Or the little picks done that the refs miss. Never a comment about an illegal play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this as well TD! I love the timer on the ice! Unfortunately Rogers just blew their wad on changing their score clock to look like… everyone else’s! whippty do! Zero creativity… I’d rather they kept the entire top bar and added some of those cool ice visuals you mention. There’s no incentive for leading edge stuff in canada. Most of us watch regardless. Maybe in the US they’re still trying to attract watchers and the visuals help drive that viewership. I’ve been watching more US streams this year than I ever have.

We have internal clocks that say, “oh shut! They’ve been on for a long time!” Whereas some fans don’t see anything. i see a Satoshi Nakamoto load not called and it’s that old saying that the retaliation is gonna be what gets called. We need to stop that retaliation stuff and either get doing it too or hit ‘em hard to get back. Score more 5v5! We can’t get too many penalties.
