GDT - Playoff Round 3 (Road to the BBKL Cup)

[kyuss]

Never thought I'd be doubling mik in points mid-week

And even moreso never thought I'd be doubling mik in points and STILL losing the week, given my team has stronger periphs

in fact you're clearly winning it so far, as my only players that are scoring are not in the lineup: Kakko & Podkolzin

[Shep]

Oh yeah my team is done. Was a good run, on to the offseason!

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, it looks like Matt's offense has come alive. In the categories he's ahead on, he's got a very healthy lead.

It seems like a similar story with Matthew over Mik...but a lot can happen with this weekend's games.

[Matthew]

Yeah is an offensive lead over Mik actually an offensive lead over Mik? Feels more like he has me right where he wants me. His offense is so potent it's difficult to be confident with a ten point lead.

Our match probably comes down to
Goalie wins
Plus/Minus
STP
GWG

[kyuss]

I can assure you are not at all where i'd want you

[Matthew]

You old fox you're so sly

[Shep]

I have basically no shot.

PIMs and BLK if I get incredibly lucky are the only two I could MAYBE catch. And that's out considering Matt beating me know goals or taking wins.

Like 5% chance at best for me.

[Matthew]

Shestyorkin vs Detroit
Swayman vs Pittsburgh
Both early this morning at 930 am pacific

Should be both our final goalie starts of the week. Given we are both currently at one win each and the match is close these are quite important

[kyuss]

yeah I don't see my team surviving without overturning special teams points, and last night was a step in the wrong direction #Barkov

[kyuss]

Sid not scoring in front of Swayman might be it

[Shep]

Damn. Even if my team becomes goon squad tonight for a tie, Iose.

I need the offense for my team to go insane lol...

[Shep]

Points and PIM ...

That's the path, if there is one....

[Matthew]

Fuck fuck fuck

[Bruyns]

14 points so far for Shep tonight. Still looking OK but he has a lot more skaters tomorrow to make it interesting.

[Matthew]

Looking pretty solid for me. Kyuss needs to flip blocks STP and GWG tomorrow. I expect him to take stp and blocks, but getting 2 gwg will be difficult, although he has a bunch of stars getting games tomorrow so possible

[kyuss]

what a disaster of a night, only a positive a shutout in a week where it's completely useless

[Shoalzie]

Wow, it was down to 8-7-1 early yesterday...big day overall for the Ducks' skaters plus a crucial win from Swayman to prevent the Preds from sweep all the goaltending categories.

Barring an epic Easter miracle...it'll be a rematch of last year's final.

[Matthew]

If bruyns and me both make this finals, 7 of the past 10 bbkl finalists will have been named Matt. If you want to move your rebuilds forward there is the clue.

[Matthew]

Ugh Makar hurt Jordan Staal

Jordan Staal has been my playoff MVP so far...hopefully he isn't hurt too badly. Him missing the finals would be a massive blow

[Bruyns]

Good match Shep, your team took a big step forward this year.
