EC Semi-Finals: PIT (8) @ BOS (2)

[Robin Hood]

Good luck, Kyle! Looking forward to a great match-up.

Yea, if my team plays like last week you should have no problem walking into the conference finals. It is H2H though and anything can happen. The reason we play the games i guess. If i dont have Callahan back or MacKenzie, gonna be tough against your crop. Daniel Sedin is a plug in my lineup. Wish i still had Joey Crabb, hed be going in...lol

[armandtanzarian]

Looks like I am down already. I got no replacement for Callahan so that is 3 games lost. If Lidstrom plays that will be 62 gp for Pitts and 56gp for Bos. Boo....I need goal-tending to stand a remote chance at keeping this close.

[Robin Hood]

I play 61 Games and Callahan should be back man.

high five kyle.. our sedins are pointless in 7 straight game and only 2 games play this week (and i hav luongo too cold as ice)

Hope you are correct for sake of fair play...lol Not much info out there on his injured foot. Brodeur has been smoking and Thomas ICE.

You play 63 games if you count your 3 goalie games. I got 59 with a full healthy lineup. I assume Lidstrom is back...

Yea WTF is up with those two? Shiv has Burrows and Edler also. Without scoring they are both still periph beasts though. Any Sedin not putting up points might as well be on the bench. I feel a breakout coming though. Has to happen sooner or later....right....???? lol

ya i hope they break out but with only 2 GP is quite ... useless lol

[Robin Hood]

Actually Kyle, I have 59 GP.

[armandtanzarian]

Are you changing your roster around? counting 3 goalie games? Do you have a secret roster not on CBS...lol?

[armandtanzarian]

I got ya...62 gp total - 3 goalie games = 59.

I am 59 gp - 3 goalie games = 56.

Assuming we are both healthy.

[armandtanzarian]

She will be a battle Shiv. Gotta say I actually like being the underdog. No one will pick Boston against your stacked team. If i get a week like I had a few times this season (against Nick, lol) I should be ok. Only problem is \i have many cold players and ICE cold goaltending.

Nicklas Lidstrom (ankle) left the ice after skating for just five minutes prior to Monday's practice, putting his status for Tuesday and Wednesday's games in doubt, MLive.com reports.
(Updated 03/12/2012).
Fantasy Analysis
It has been more than two weeks since Nicklas Lidstrom has practiced with his teammates, and it's hardly a good sign that his skate before practice was a brief one. We'll await further info from the team, but consider him doubtful to play against the Kings and Ducks in the next two days. For what it's worth, Lidstrom said that his ankle is improving, and that he hopes the extra rest now will pay off in the playoffs.

[bma]

cmon shiv, get your team together. I picked you in the playoff pool.

[armandtanzarian]

Well if Lids and Callahan both do not play that still gives you a 3 gp advantage. Not having Callahan hurts my chances BIG TIME. I also hate being behind after day one all the time....I know it evens out in the end but damn its a morale killer.

[bma]

Morale killer for your head maybe..definitely not for your players lol

[armandtanzarian]

Myers left in first but has returned.....

[armandtanzarian]

FFS Myers GWG in OT. Couture now on wing with Marleau moving to C. Mother fucker....i cant catch a break. it snowballs even on Mondays...mother fuckers...

[armandtanzarian]

Not liking the lackluster performance from my centers. Im down to 4 with MacKenzie out. Was counting on them. Looks like that category is another loss. All in all, happy with where I stand after my 3 guys went against your 8. Each one of your players is a stud. This is highly unlikely that i can move past the Pens.

[Robin Hood]

Lol Dan Boyle's GWG got taken away and given to Logan. Gay.
