Weekn 4 H2H-- How did it go ?

[flubber]

Week 4 was a mixed bag for me


hitmen 4-6-2 ( Season 26-20-2, 3rd of 12)

Wons Hits, Pims, GS and W. I expected to win more. Going into Sunday I was tied inn Sav % and even asked the gang here who to start. WE made the right call and Lehtonen came through to better my save % but when the NYR moved to Biron, my opponent picked him up last second and Birons's shutout won the day. THis team was supposed to compete in assists and this week had the second most of any team in the league but still lost the category (hate when that happens)

Brawlers 10-2-1 ( 33-16-3 1st of 10 )

My goalie numbers were actually awful but my opponent had Steve Mason so a week where I could have gone 0-5 in the goalie cats instead I went 4-0-1. I only lost G and A and they were close. So a strong winning week but more a reflection of my opponents poor week than a good one for me.

Tigers 5-5-4 (22-23-11 8th of 14)

Disappointing-- I had hoped for a Lundqvist start to try to take Ws but the Biron choice killed that idea-- I still went 3-0-2 in the goalie stats. Offensively was a disappointment-- I lost out on shots on goal by ONE and it was my own stupidity for picking up David Moss for Sunday's game only to see him not play with a bruised foot-- ONE SHOT?? My team continues to suck with respect to GWG and I was disappointed to drop PIMS. I play the runaway first place team this week



Overall it went ok considering that super-pest Steve Ott, whom I have on all three teams, was injured but only in the DTD way that prevents replacing him. I also saw Enstrom get hurt but NOT be officially on the IR at yahoo in time for a pickup Sunday-- arrgh.

MY Hitmen and Brawlers continue to win hits and PIms as planned but I keep losing G and Assists by close margins.

Got absolutely smoked. Lost 9-1. Goaltending was putrid, not posting one win in 5 starts. Goals, Assits and PPP were seperated by a combined 5, but I was destroyed in faceoffs, hits and +/-. As the first place team going in and losing to the last place team has hurt my pride more than anything. I remain in 3rd overall and 1st in the division but it is very close.

[Mike]

Went a shameful 0-10-0. Goaltending was terrible and had a bunch of just misses in the skating categories.

I went 4-7-1 - dropped from 3rd to 5th - On Thursday I was up 8-3-1 - and then my forwards decided to stop scoring. Goalie cats were what saved me - but I have Connelly and Lupal - who gave me goose eggs on Sat. Also I traded Seguin for Getzlaf so I did not have him in the line up on Saturday. Can you believe that. What a frustrating week it was. oh well on to a new week - I need Stamkos, Rinne, Price and Lupal to keep rolling.... Good luck in Week 5 guys.

I went 4-7-2 and stayed 9th out of 12th overall. Won Goals, PIM, Wins, and GA but lost Assist by 3, SOG by 5, Saves by 2, as well as some other stats by a larger margin. I picked up Dan Girardi today for some more Hits and Blocks. Dubnyk is unfortunately wasting space on my bench while Khabibulin is turning aside everything that comes at him so I might have to drop him for someone like Harding who is getting a lot of starts until Khabibulin cools off.

[The Great Gazoo]

Terrible. Lost 4-9-2 to drop to second. I won G, A (only after a stat correction to JVR thank god), SOG, and Blocks. Lost +- by 1 (how do you lose when you have +17? Oh that's right, when your opponent goes +8 on Sunday alone to win), PPP by 1, PIM and FW by bunch. Tied in W and SHO, lost by very small amounts in GAA, SV, and SV%. Why does this team keep losing PIM ( something I somewhat drafted for) and yet win Blocks? With Pronger out I only have 3 D-men but keep winning this category.

[mbr311]

Finally a huge win! Took out one of the top performing teams 11-3-1...he tied me in blocks in the very last minute of the very last game of the night lol, and if Lundy had played...I could have walked away 12-2-1 or even 13-1-1. But I'll take it! That's a very big win for me, and my stats were very solid this week including 24 goals and 33 assists. Finally won 4 of 5 goalie cats which has been really tough on me the first few weeks. Hopefully this is the start to a new beginning!

[Rocketman9]

Burned by Khabibulin and Bryz despite good numbers by Lundy and Elliott. Ended up tying 5-5-2 despite finally getting some offensive output.

[Spacemoose]

Ended up winning 9-2 against the top guy in the pool who had been 3-0 to this point. Good week. Managed to go from winning +/- by 1 on friday to losing it by 20 at the end of sunday night. yay variance.

[Brendan Shanaban]

Finallyyyyyy won a week! went 6-3-1...tied assists and won 3/4 goalie categories after Thomas' shut-out Sunday night

gunna be a rough week ahead, tho...guy has a solid team and tons of starts...think he has 8 goalie starts...I started Thomas/Rask so I'm only gunna get 3....hopefully we can take 3/4 categories tho ;) lol

[flubber]

Went a shameful 0-10-0. Goaltending was terrible and had a bunch of just misses in the skating categories.

Ouch-- That is one thing I have tried to design my teams to avoid-- Even in a terrible week, I usually hope to take Hits and probably PIMs-- So far ever though I am not winning all my weeks, my worst losing week was a 4-7-1 IIRC

[hovercraft]

Won 10-0-1! Jumped from 9th place to 5th place. Had huge weeks from most of my best players: Stamkos, Seguin, Selanne, Benn, Eriksson. and even with Lehtonen's 6 GAA game, still hung on to win every goaltending category (tied shutouts 0-0)

[Leafs]

I was down 5-4 going into Sunday, but big games from Luongo and Lehtonen on Sunday let me steal the goalie categories and win 6-4.

[NightParade]

I went 8-3, lost goals, +/-, and SOG. Great goaltending numbers W 4, GAA 1.7, S% .944, and SO 1. The sad thing is last week my goaltening numbers were better and I lost 3-1. Still a solid week, got me from 5th to 3rd, and after week one I was 16 points out of first, now I am 7 points out. Here's hoping trends continue.

[Wings9798]

After reading the posts I still feel bad but at least others had bad weeks. 1-17-3 for me, now in 9th of 12. Was in 3rd.

Vokoun and Crawford got demolished by Neuvy (figures) Howard (Thanks for the SO this week) Price
41 pts to 27, 12 to 7 in PPP he got a SHP and a shut out.

Hey I did win faceoffs!!!

Hopefully this week Carter, Read, Keith, Hanzal..all play and maybe even Jussi too (Just picked him up, hopefully he is my turning point). Crawford and Vokoun will turn it around.........I hope

[NightParade]

Vokoun is 7-2, perfect at home, I don't know that he needs to turn it around. I'll admit his GAA and S% aren't sparkly, but things could be worse. I've been lucky with Crawford, sat him on his bad games and played him on his good games. He should turn the tides though I imagine.

[Wings9798]

@nightparade. yes Vokoun has played well, but I've had Caps goalies the past two years and Boudreu drives me nuts. Last year I had the Varly, Neuvy, Holtby fiasco to deal with and I get worried that Neuvy moves into #1.

[Jets]

Went 10-0-0 to keep me firmly atop the leader board by a comfy 15 wins, but what i was more excited about was taking top spot in my points league over the weekend after dropping back a fair bit. Dont think ill be able to keep up first in both leagues so im going to enjoy it while i can!
