2016 BBKL FINAL - LA Kings (2) @ TOR Maple Leafs (1)

[kyuss]

huge night for Mike considering the GP disadvantage.

His roster is showing to have a couple of holes though, Sekac (healthy scratch tonight) is in because of injuries to JVR, Leo and Yakupov (all wingers), but Sustr is only replacing Gryba I think.

shoulda dressed Kinkaid Steve

maybe, he also lost me all 4 goalie cats in back to back weeks. Allowed on average like 6 goals against per week over 2 straight weeks.

Cory is back and should get a start at some point.

Cory is supposed to go vs Tbay

True on the holes, though Yak's not dressing forbecause he only got 4gp this period. Gryba isca beast but even if he was healthy I'm not sure I dress him, again because of the 4gp.

[kyuss]

isn't Yak injured as well?

[Mike]

Nope don't think so

It's much closer than the score plus things could change once Schneider is back.

He's perfect so far but the night is young.

How quickly things change

Mike laying down the hammer

pretty much the opposite

(and Simmonds already had his 2G + 1A at the time of this post)

[The BBKL Insider]

Back and forth. A fun match to watch.

Pretty stress free as we've each won before. No stress to win makes it more enjoyable to follow.

[thom54]

great matchup so far!

[Mike]

Barkov's a beast. Yeah it's been back and forth, hope my guys can do it tonight.

[thom54]

so tight...

[kyuss]

that was a TERRIBLE night for Mike

[Mike]

pls no Backes, i need you

[Fraser]

Lookin good Steve

[kyuss]

Looks like Mike will need to take STP (hello McJesus) & Hits along with BS to win the title. Backes being done for the matchup makes overturning Hits difficult, Spurgeon was back tonight but Hedman was out instead..will he be back for his last 2 games?

Steve is the clear favourite at this point as his offense is killing it (my team is the only one in the league barely keepin' up with it this period, so it's more the Kings rolling than the Leafs struggling for that matter), but it's still open with 5 days to go.
