GWT - Week 16

[The BBKL Insider]

It's a bad week for fantasy but why not get in front of this before the season instead of complaining about it now? We had the schedule for a while and we could've looked into remedies before the season. No sense in complaining now...just roll with it. I agree though that it shouldn't have been an official week when at least one NHL team doesn't even play.

We'll see some unusual results from just 3 games of action...I hope I can steal a few cheap wins against the Devils.

who's complaining about the short week? it doesn't seem to be bothering too many guys (i dont think?)

[kimmer]

Mik complains

Tbh it's even more retarded to combine the short week + next week for a extra long one... This one is like a mini series and it shud be more interesting than an extra long Duke out

[thom54]

Love Matthews write ups!!! Good luck Arian.

[kimmer]

^ what's this guy talkin about lol

[Nick]

gd luck nicky, look forward to our matchup.. my team may be sloppy after a few weeks off with low seed teams

My team is still in retool mode, not exactly even a b-contender at the moment.although I do believe I have some wicked scoring potential!

[hong57]

I don't like short week... doesn't sound good to me... especially I just came off with a hot week with top scoring stats... its easy NOT to score in consecutive games AND they only play 1 game...
#damnfuckingshortweekwtf

[hong57]

and im debating whether I want to win the division or not (not like it's within my control since I will only ice my best lineup each week....).. I don't want to face one of nsh / chi / stl.... i'd prefer playing col but that won't happen...

^ what's this guy talkin about lol

He's talking about this....

Anaheim Ducks vs Philadelphia Flyers - PHI wants to get Steamrolled and will attempt any possible tricks to achieve their goal!
Calgary Flames vs New York Rangers - CGY is safe in 3rd PAC but would like a good week to jump SJS. NYR need a strong week to remain an option for the easts wildcard.
Edmonton Oilers vs Washington Capitals - The caps watch the Game of the week closely, as they could be heir to the Metro Division throne. Should be an easy week for Washington.
Los Angeles Kings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - GAME OF THE WEEK The Central and The Metro Division leaders clash! LA has had a few slow weeks - can the pens take advantage?
Arizona Coyotes vs Columbus Blue Jackets - With the late season return of Dubinsky, Columbus hopes for a miracle drive at a late playoff spot. This is one of those matchups with which they must take advantage.
San Jose Sharks vs Carolina Hurricanes - SJS is Falling. CAR is Rising. 2 teams moving different directions, yet at opposite ends of the standings. Where will they end up?
Vancouver Canucks vs New York Islanders - NYI lookin' at some easy pickins'. Vancouver has been reeling lately.
Boston Bruins vs St. Louis Blues - All contenders are Watching to see how the Blues will play with their new goalie upgrade.
Buffalo Sabres vs Nashville Predators - An Important week for both teams as each needs to show they are above the glut of bubble PO teams they currently seem to be hanging around.
Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils - New Jersey could be a darkhorse if they make the playoffs. IF.
Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets - Winnipeg needs to slaughter this week. They need it bad.
Montreal Canadiens vs Colorado Avalanche - Montreal should be watching the Buffalo matchup. Those two teams could be fighting for 3rd in the Atlantic, and the loser could outright miss the playoffs!
Ottawa Senators vs Chicago Blackhawks - Ottawa exploded Last week. CHI needs them to regress again. Despite CHI's retool, they are in the middle of a pack of teams on the playoff bubble in the west.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Minnesota Wild - Two B-Contenders in either conference compete. Though no one expects anything from Tampa after his recent moves.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Dallas Stars - Perhaps the most lopsided matchup of the season.

Mik complains

you don't seem to understand the difference between complaining and pointing out a problem.

Tbh it's even more retarded to combine the short week + next week for a extra long one... This one is like a mini series and it shud be more interesting than an extra long Duke out

disagree, for that matter

[Shoalzie]

...and by pointing a problem now is to say that the problem wasn't looked into before it became a problem.

Not picking on you in particular but I think we need to prevent stuff like this from happening instead of calling out the problem in hindsight.

not sure what's wrong in calling out a problem in insight rather than not calling out at all...

[kimmer]

Because calling a problem in hindsight makes u captain hindsight. It's a common North American nomenclature to describe annoying bosses or captains of a competitive team who constantly 'bitch' about the mistakes/problems seen well after the fact and make employees/teammates life and concentration to move on a living hell

So, thx captain hindsight..

[Shoalzie]

Well, let's just say we should look at the schedule when we make our league schedule in the future.

The only way that this doesn't benefit anyone more than another is that we all play the schedule as it's given to us. Everyone has to deal with the same quirks in the schedule...some might to make some interesting lineup choices based on how these 3 days shake out. I think this will be an interesting week.

basically, what us "low bottom feeder" guys are saying is that WE LIKE OUR FUCKING CHANCES TO STEAL SOME CATEGORIES IN an un-legit luck of the bounce-type of way ok??... shoalzie is just too prideful to say it, I fucking will

[kyuss]

LOL

[Bruyns]

The only issue I have is that one team has 0 games this week. If there was a team fighting for a playoff spot and they had BUF goalies and were forced to lose all goalie cats that wouldn't seem right to me. If all teams played one or two games then there wouldn't be a problem with the short week.

[kimmer]

nobody cares bryuns

ill provide u a shoulder to cry on but that's about all I can do
ur rich ass team can make some last minute deals if u want still got an hour
