[GDT] Week 5: Washington Capitals vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[MSP4LYFE]

Not sure. Learning towards a 7-9-0 loss. But it's tight, a big night from me and it's 12-2-2

I don't see 9-7-0 as a possibility, barring blowup tbh. I genuinely believe 11-5-0 is going to be the final outcome, but I can see an argument for 10-6-0 or 10-5-1.

Your being silly... it doesn't take a blowup for me to win SOG... or to tie GWG.... your talking about a few stats either way over the next 2 days.


--> Cliff says to suck the knob.

And you are severely overestimating the ability of your players...Based on past history, and quality of players there is absolutely no reason to think you will beat me in: BS, SOG, A, PTS, G etc. It's wishful thinking on your part.

Furthermore, a lead in SOG, A, PTS if even by one (and they are more than that in some cases) with my best players coming up is essentially a lock. But hope springs eternal I suppose.

I won't even dignify Cliff with a response, only a matter of time before he's booted anyways.

I just looked and it is now 8-8 very interesting. Things will change. But Nick is staying in the race anyways. Prob wont win the marathon....

If it's 8-8 after tommorow's updates I will begin to worry, until then I comfortably stand by my 11-5-0 prediction.

Hmmm... it is 8-8...

But. As usual I guess your right.... Richards w/4 , Sutter, Benn, Hall, Seto, all with less then 3 goals... no way they resume a proper pace for their skill sets.

And of course Stamkos is going to score 80, and stewart 50+. Looking beyond the past 3 weeks and into the normal/projections is obviously illogical.

Hmm...You seem to have confused "tommorow" with "tonight", curious, or rather an indication of your reading comprehension, or lack thereof...

But hey, you're right, because all my players are scoring right? Kessel, Knuble, Tangauy, Stastny, Backes, Tavares and Morrow, it's a scoring party and everyone is invited but your guys! Wake up to reality...Week 1, week 2, today, tommorow, 5 years from now...The result will continue be the same, I'm better than you, and if you think your coming back from 5 goals you're further under the influence than I thought, and when I say influence I am not reffering to alcohol, but rather kool-aid, or whatever it is you deluded individuals drink these days.

[Nick]

You had something going there... Right until you listed some of your slumping guys currently on pace for more goals then they scored last year.... Morrow already has 7, Jt with 6, kessel with 7 ( though we all wish he was more then 30-35g his current play says otherwise) even tangy has managed to have 10 points... Only managed 30 something all of last year!!! I do agree that backes & Knuble are slow starting for you, and they will pick it up.

I'm not saying it's the most likely senario. But your acting as if it's impossible.


Note:your commenting on the reading comprehension of someone who is borderline black out drunk. Thank god the iPhone corrects spelling or else I'd be getting an English lesson here instead of talking hockey.

[Nick]

Judging the logic, flow, or grammar of someone in a hangover state is also not fair. I am ecpt of all responsibilty until this time on Monday.

Ps- how about fowler? Super sick game yesterday.

Morrow should be around 30-35 goals, the last two have been injury plagued, poor example. Kessel has always had 40+, you yourself predicted as much to begin the year, one scoring slump doesn't change that, Tanguay has more goals than I expect, but the apples aren't. He had 30 last year, but has been on pace for 60 for every other year in his career but two, one of those was his rookie season, again no argument

It isn't impossible for you to beat me, but you're playing it off as something that is just as likely to happen as me winning, which is a joke. Fuck the last 3 weeks, any idiot can see the difference between our respective teams in goal scoring, even before the season started. Not my fault the stats bear that out...And it's not even close.

LOL, did you just respond to the same point twice? Must have been a fun night...I need to do the same after last week's 5 essays in 5 nights...

[MSP4LYFE]

I need one of two things from Miller tonight, either a near perfect effort in goal, or that he be on the ice for a ton of penalties against. I could use some extra apples and STPTS as well.

Hiller takes a shot to the Face. We'll see if he plays Sunday.

AHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA, YES! Mac in net against Chicago, heres hoping for a blowout.

[MSP4LYFE]

If my math is correct I am going to be up (9-5-2) heading into tommorow, with the chance to move up a couple more stats (Save%/GAA) if Mac has a stinker, and GWG (1-1) and STPTS (10) tied. BS is also real close with myself in the lead by a mere 2 as of 15 minutes into the 3rd period of the LAK game.

In an ideal world I finish up 12-3-1, but I wouldn't be shocked to see this one end up 9-5-2/8-6-2, anything less will be incredibly disapointing.

[Nick]

well.... NYR shit kicked the oilers this morning... Cogliano an impressive -4.... but actually impressive, is Hall's even +/- while playing 20min+ in a 6 goal loss.


This week isn't over yet

Taylor Hall's 2BS hurt, it's the most he's put up all season.

So with 3 player games left apiece (and one goalie game for you) we are all square in STPTS, BS, and GWG, with the opportunity to steal a cat from one another in GAA, Save% & SHTOI.

As a wise man once said, shits about to get real...

[Nick]

Hard to call @ this stage.

Some of the difference are rather small (on top of 3 tied categories)--> 2 on apples, 9 hits, 7min SHTOi and 20 SOG.

Kinda funny that the categories that you won really clean aren't your strong points... really big +/- & PIMS week for you.


Also sucks for you that I got my first shutout in 25 weeks...LOL... but Hiller's injured now sigh and a big game outta the stupid hawks could really ruin my week.

Well 4 apples now, and I'm also up by 2 STPTS courtesy of Stamkos and Knuble. Difference in SHTOI is more than 8 mins, and I don't forsee you making up 9 hits, nor do I see any circumstance by which I makeup 20 SOG. BS are tied, as are GWG, and despite my lead in SHTOI I am extremely nervous with your goalie game played tonight.

Perhaps the biggest change however, could occur in GAA and Save%; Miller put up a very respectable mark last night which puts me in line to steal those stats if Mac gets roughed up by the Hawks tonight.

P.S. PIMS have been a strong suit of my team dating all the way back to last season, I routinely put up huge numbers in that category.

[MSP4LYFE]

Incredibly I took all the categories in question today, so I won 10-4-1 with GAA up in the air (not sure what it adds up to in total). Hopefully it works out to: 11-4-1, but I'm content with: 10-5-1.

Good matchup Nick, but like I said a few days ago, the score does not reflect how close the matchup really is...














































I'm just being a dick, it was insanely tight.

[Nick]

FAAAKKKKK i wish i dressed Little... He gets me more categories (over Wellman), and even more if I had Cohen in for injured KQ. Injuries are fucking gay.


Nice matchup Kareem,full props for a solid week. thank god my goalies had their first good week in a while... this was kinda, but not really tight as it also could have been uglier.

I look forward to week 21 mother fucker, keep your head up.
