Steen vs Berglund / J Williams vs Berglund

[DaLeafers]

Tuesday, Feb 5 and Thursday, Feb 7 I have active players on the bench.

For Tuesday, Feb 5:
I put Steen in ... have Henrique (vs NYR) and Berglund (vs Nsh) on my bench

Possible CENTRE options are:
Thornton (def in)
Hodgson (def in)
Henrique (decided to bench bc Im hoping Lundqvist gets a shutout -- as he's my goalie)
Berglund (Steen > Berglund?)

Steen is a C/LW though ... but my LW spots are 100% locks:
Marleau, Zetterberg, Kunitz

Possible RW picks:
Hossa (def in)
Pominville (def in)
Williams (replace w/ Hodgson and start Berglund @ C... resulting in Williams on the bench?) ..... LAK @ Cls though .....

For Thursday, Feb 7:
Berglund (C) is on my bench (vs Det)

My current CENTREs are:
Hodgson (def in) - also RW
Steen - also LW
Henrique

Current LW are:
Zetterberg
Pacioretty (just grabbed from IR)
Kunitz

Current RW are:
Hossa (def in)
Pominville (def in)
Williams (replace w/ Hodgson and start Berglund @ C... resulting in Williams on the bench?) ..... @Cls .....

=========================================

Over the last 5 games, Steen gets an assist/game and Berglund gets a goal/game.

If it's Pittsburgh vs San Jose (yeah I know that isn't happening this season) I am putting in Neimi and hoping for a shutout, but I sure as heck am not benching Neal. Henrique is a pretty big talent to be benching b/c you have his opponents goalie. If you are going to bench him bench him because you figure a different player will be more valuable not because you want a shutout from Lundy.

Berglund is hot, but has an unsustainable shooting percentage (30% or so?). Steen is also hot and his shooting percentage has to go up plus he takes more shots. Steen > Berglund.

As a whole though I think I'd be benching Williams anyways. The other three guys are on a tear and you should ride them while they're hot.

Oh, and despite my opening statement I'd probably bench Henrique

The "Lund getting a shutout" was far from being a serious reason behind benching him, lol

I ended up benching just Berglund ... I logged in at work to actually move around players on 1 team to bench Williams (assuming it'd be a later starting game) but it was already underway.

Good thing.
