WC FINALS: LA(1) vs CHI(3) - Star Power v Overall Competence

[The BBKL Insider]

Fyi - I'm a land surveyor, we're like asians with math

[anton]

are you sure you're looking at the right team? because that would expain a lot. you are up 122-121 in shots right now

[Chris]

What is anton talking about? He's up in shots

You're winning it right now by ONE shot. Unless Elliot shits the bed, you just tied and won the week (shots pending)

[The BBKL Insider]

Naw, he still has too many top end guys going!

[Chris]

It's basically down to shots. What a fucking finish.

Anton has: Kelly, Sharp, and Shattenkirk.
Steve has Bolland, Gordon, Selanne, and Beauchemin.

The score in SOG is 122-121 for Steve.

Anton has 3.5 periods left to steal the SOG category. Steve has 4.5 periods left to hold the category and win the tie-breaker.

Crazy crazy crazy finish.

[Chris]

Steve is texting me thinking that Anton has all these snipers going. He only has Sharp and Shattenkirk. The crazy thing is that there's a pretty tight game of BOS/ANA right now - and Steve has 5 of ANA's 12 shots on goal.

CBS just corrected the category -- it's now 121-120 (for Steve). This is going right down to the wire. I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

[Chris]

Expanding here: I hope Anton keeps the team he has together. Looking it over, Sharp is the only player who's getting a salary bump -- and his team's young enough to improve quite a bit.

[anton]

should also be noted that steve needs to win this cat outright. if it's tied, then the week is mine.

fact is, me losing this week will come down to tavares and sharp having 1 SOG between them on the final day.

[The BBKL Insider]

He has one heck of a team!

Oh, didn't think to consider that. Brain don't work good.

Depending on how the game goes between STL/PHX, if STL can get a goal or two, PHX will open up and Shattenkirk will get more opportunities to get a shot on net. I think he's missed a couple already.

[Chris]

Oddly, the game-sheet shows that Shattenkirk didn't get a shot in the last period. I saw one from just above the hash-marks. It also shows that one shot was blocked. Jeez.

[anton]

LMFAO bolland lofts it on net from the blueline with 30 seconds left. match over.

[Chris]

Anton, what's your cap like right now?

[anton]

62.somethin

[Chris]

Not bad at all. Cap goes up a couple million and you got the same roster for next year

[anton]

i shouldn't blame tavares and sharp solely. i was without thompson and kaleta all week. could they have made up those few SOG i needed? probably.

[anton]

wow shatty w/ a couple SOGs on that PP. im up by 1.

[Chris]

Yup. I told you. Once STL got on board, the game would open up.

[anton]

i need that ANA game to end without selanne or beauch doing anything.

then it's straight up shattenkirk vs gordon

[anton]

and the stage is set.

1 period to determine 1 category and the match.

shattenkirk vs gordon in a SOG contest.

anton currently up 122-121; tie goes to anton.
