Playoff Pool Update

posted by Chris Aung-Thwin at 15h07 EST on Apr 22


It was a big night for the Habs and a big night for many Inside/Out fantasy teams. Andrew Sharpe, THE CHOSEN ONE, johnolerud9, and TommyB each earned a whopping 15 points from yesterday’s games. PPQB sits alone atop the standings with an impressive 103 points.

Tonight’s match-ups of Calgary vs. San Jose and Washington vs. Philadelphia will finalize the fantasy rosters for Round 2, when the real battle begins.

86 points! And 17 players left for Round 2. Not too far back in the peanut gallery anymore. I should known better than to draft the son of a former Nordique. Stupid Stastny with 1 point.

But most people would have the 3 Detroit players while some (like me) have no Colorado players. My hatred of them blinds me. "One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time." "Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"

Doug: Thanks for your expression of concern the other day! Yes, it's Yeats -- Brian Jones -- don't quite know how to change from Delete to my old monicker, so you can just call me Mr. D. I'm great, never been better. Although like most of the current HIO gang I wanted to tape the exhaust pipe on the way home after Price's "Buckner" in Game 5. To set the record straight, I was never banned, although I was asked cordially to be nice. It was entirely my choice to take my show on the road. To be honest, I just got really bored with the whole thing. The family is also happier to have a father who is slightly more "hands on." I still watch every game religiously, just with a much closer circle of friends. Sort of torn on tonight's Caps/Flyers game. I want the Habs at some time to play the Rangers so I can leach onto a friend who has season tickets. If they go all the way, I plan to be in the building when it happens. I've had 15 years to save up. The planets are falling into alignment though, considering what is going on in the Western Conference. I personally don't want to wait for the Centennial Year. Yea, it would be special, but no more so than a Cup this year. I just have to figure out how I can turn my car over and get arrested in the suburbs of New York. You can get in touch with me at vmbj21@gmail.com. Again, all the best, Brian.

You have a point (kinda of:-) but every playoff pool that I have been in has always included assists for goalies in that they are true game summary points just like forwards or defensemen. (I don't have the goalie in question just so you know). Seems fair to me, after all this is just for fun. I guess Chris will have to make a call. The Original 24.4 Cups

Hmmm, I'm not sure I even remember who I put on my roster. If I calculated correctly I have 88 pts. Here's who I think I chose. Not sure why I chose so many players in 3 different eastern conference teams...should've narrowed that down to 2. I banked on anaheim and lost big time so I figure there's little to no chance of my lineup making any headway in the standings. Kovy Pleks A.

One more comment - it's funny that none of the people (at a quick glance) with 15 points yesterday are in the list of top entries. Suggests to me they're just full of Habs. Hypothetical scenario: 1. AKots (3) 2. Kovalev (2) 3. Skots (2) 4. Streit (1) 5. Pleks (1) 6. Price (2) 7. Koivu (1) 8. Markov (0) 9. Ovechkin (2) - scoring leader 10. Huet (1) - ex-Hab total = 15 points! Totals from those ten players (half your roster) if you had them the whole series: 1. AKots (5) 2. Kovalev (6) 3. Skots (6) 4. Streit (2) 5. Pleks (4) 6. Price (6) 7. Koivu (3) 8. Markov (1) 9. Ovechkin (7) - scoring leader 10. Huet (3) - ex-Hab Total = 43

doug, You know what I think is funny? You sound a little bit snippity regarding those who have picked a lot of Habs. This is a Habs forum. Why would it be "funny" that those who gained 15 points last night are "just full of Habs"? Yeah, I have 9 Habs on my roster. To date I have lost 1 player. I could lose one more tonight, or as many as 3 more tonight. Leaving me in decent shape for the next round. Imagine that! With all those Habs! God, someone is liable to accuse me of being a Habs fan!....lmfao BTW...I'm right on your tail with 83 points.

Here's my team if anyone cares. . . and it's your goal to pull up to a tie for 45th place: Forwards: - Kovalev - Pleks - Crosby - Malkin - Statsny - Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Iginla (potential death) - Thornton (potential death) - Ovechkin (potential - HOPEFUL - death) - i wanna play Philly - Backstrom (potential - HOPEFUL - death) - Getzlaf (dead) Defense: - Lidstrom - Rafalski - Markov - Streit - Gonchar - Campbell (potential death) Goalie - Price - Nabokov (potential death) If SJ and DC win tonight, I've got 18 of 20 alive. If they both lose (which would be my preference as Habs fan) I'd have 14 of 20 left. How do others compare in terms of best and worst case scenarios? The best news - no Flyers OR Rangers in my line-up so zero cognitive dissonance (not that there would have been any) in Round 2!

kRob - I have to hand it to you - taking 4 Colorado players was a gutsy move. If Calgary wins, lots of guys are going to lose SJ players (including me). In that case, Theodore sort of becomes your Colorado defenseman (so to speak) and you're sitting pretty with 4 each from Detroit and Colorado. This means you are in great shape to pretty well have a minimum of 8 or 9 players in the semi-finals, regardless of what Calgary does against Dallas. Not many guys will be able to say that. (can't see both Montreal and Pittsburgh both losing in the next round) Update: Even with Calgary losing (Roenick of all people!) you are still in good shape. 4 players from the West in the semi and then you only need to have one of Pittsburgh or Montreal to advance to meet your minimum. If they both advance you're in great shape. I lost 3 Ducks and Ovechkin so I'm now basically out of it. Time to prepare for the regular season draft! Let's see, there's Samsonov in Carolina..... The Original 24.4 Cups

The bold doesn't mean anything (sorry)... it's just there as a visual break.

Hey Chris I know you have taken on quite a bit with this pool but if you could cut and paste just one of the leaders pools (or the leader) per update it would give us an idea as to who has what and what we are chasing. I know pools are a lot of work and I understand if that's a pain...just an idea.

If the Flames advance I bet I am looking pretty good but if they go down....I may be in trouble. I already lost Pronger....I need my Phaneuf and Iginla. I bet a lot of people would lose some Sharks too. Go Flames Go.
