I have an outside chance, but Zib isn't enough to ofset the Douchebag Duo. Hehe, I really hate the Oilers. The CDN media is such a bunch of "one man shows" homers. This isn't McD vs Nate. It's the AVS vs the Oilers. Kadri, Nate, Rantanen, Landeskog, Makar, Nich, Toews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketdoctor Posted May 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 To be fair he single handily took his team on his shoulders to beat the Kings and then pretty much did the sames to us games 2,3 & 4. they will talk him up al lthe time. We would love to have him on our side. i do hate the Oil but I can only marvel at this guys skillset. If they get to the finals I am sure he will get the Conn. For me to have any chane to get off the bottom I need. Av's beat Oil 4-0 by a score of 1-0 each time TBL to beat the NYR by large margins and keeping NYR players off the scoresheet. TBL to thrash AVs in final. Not going to happen. I am resigned to last place!! But at least I get to draft first!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, I only have a chance is Zib and Kreider score over Panarin and Fox. And McD/Drai shut down (oh so glorious). I have Kreider too. So Zib>Panarin and Fox. I don't love your odds;) Quite the race at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wonder if these 2 teams will ever have a 3-1 score. If D wins games, what if neither team plays D? The 2 elite goalies go tonight. Much better hockey I'd wager.

With the Oiler-AVS, I wonder which team figures out how to play defense first. The AVS forgot, but the Oilers never really knew how to do it. Manson pair got burned for 3. Smith reminded me that if you hit the net, he will let in a ton of goals. Leaky glove, dive onto his face, laying on the ice for the 3rd chance. COL got to him and demoralized him. Not like he was pulled after 3. Kostco the better goalie, but Smith owns the net. If they go down 2-0, they might start Kostco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with Makar, Rantanen and MacKinnon would have gone up 4 points. I'm still 9 points back of the top 2, but they should be 226 and me 217. I think that makes Robrob 225. I believe Saymzies is 207, but that might be an old error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SCF is NYR-COL, I can probably get to 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Fox shoulda been OUR 1D, but I also can't deny that he's close to par with Makar. I guess when you're that good and the NHL has a loophole for a player to dictate it, a team will get Blockchained. It just happened to be us... He's $9.5 per, so I'd wonder how we do that with what we have going on rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't really expect us to lose to a loser team like EDM. I also went in too much on STL and not enough Kadri. At the very least, COL was going to get to the 2nd round. The $9 - $9.5M is tough to manage for a d-man in today's NHL. They are worth their weight in gold, but mean you can have 2 others making as much. Unless you have a plethora of ELC's coming in above value. COL will have those issues when Nate's deal is up. You manage through the prospects and smart trades. If we re-sign both JH and MT for close to 10, then we can't pay for a $9M d-man just yet. Backlund, Lucic, Monahan have to make way for the younger players to lower the cap. We have some time to compete without blowing the cap. But, we have to be smart with the makeup. Nobody in the bottom 6 making over $4M. No bottom 6 line costing more than $6M.
