Looks like I'm going to need to sit both my periph nhl ducks benoit/manson out because if manson comes back mid week he probably goes in for benoit. Unfortunate.

You too, just making a final is quite the accomplishment for you. Anything can happen now that you're here.

Took a couple risks, Bahl and Borgen making their debuts and didn’t want to risk playing an injured Lindgren with only 4 games or Mangiapane with 3. Going periphs with a rookie D over Mangiapane hopefully doesn’t backfire.

Lankinen getting his 2nd start of the season for me as well, hoping to get a win or two since I doubt I beat you in sv% and GAA

I put in kahkonen because Minnesota is playing anaheim. I figure I must win all the point categories and goaltending cats to have a chance to win, so may as well go head 2 head vs Gibson. U should take all periph categories.

A fun first night for a finals...14 games and a lot of goals scored around the league. The champ comes out of the gate strong but too early to count out Matthew. Gibson lost but had a good start.

Barzal getting rested... :|

And I started swayman because he was expected to get the Tuesday start, which Halak has now gotten. :?

Borgen being rested too so it’s pretty much even.

Not sure how I convinced myself 4 potential games of Borgen was better than 3 of Mangiapane.
