Thread: Bench one forward (thursday)

    Bench one forward (thursday)

    Andy McDonald (home to NYI)
    Michael Ryder (home to CGY)

    I am leaning towards benching McDonald. I'm in second place playing the first place team this week. He has moves to burn (about 20 left) and looks to be scrambling to try to take SOG and hits this week. Having said this, I am more inclined to play Ryder and bench McDonald...thoughts? My roster for the night looks as follows:

    C - Tavares, Stepan, Ribeiro
    LW - Perron, Couture, Benn
    RW - Oshie, Iginla, Pominville
    F, winger, util - Briere, Ryder, Brown
    D - Burns
    G - Quick
    G=2pts A=1pt
    W=2pts sho=3pts

    Malkin - Crosby - Neal - Kunitz - Staal - Fisher - Legwand - Radulov - Richards - Gaborik
    Letang - Weber - Suter - Pietrangelo
    Fleury - Rinne

    Malkin - Crosby - Neal - Kunitz - Sharp - Toews - Hossa - Kane - Richards - Gaborik
    Letang - Keith - Seabrook - Pietrangelo
    Fleury - Crawford

    Malkin - Crosby - Neal - Kunitz - Datsyuk - Franzen - Zetterberg - Filppula - Richards - Gaborik
    Letang - Lidstrom - Keith - Pietrangelo
    Fleury - Howard

    Definitely if you're looking for SOG and hits, play Ryder. McDonald will still shoot the puck, though, and has a bit better matchup. (sorry for the wishy-washy advice)

    Tough call here. Mac will give you an extra SOG, but Ryder will give you an extra HIT (on average). So, with it being a "wash" when it comes to this, you gotta go with who you think will help you more in other stats (like scoring, assisting, PPP, etc.). I'd pick Mac.

    thanks for the reply guys. Think I am going to play Ryder. He has done quite well as of late. Mac is still returning to form and getting his timing back. I'll give it another week before I "rely" on him
