Game Week Thread 13

[The BBKL Insider]

Appears we only have 2 matchups this week. Good luck to all those fighting for positions.

Short NHL week so only 2 matchups. Had to choose one week to have less matchups to make the math work out for 82 matchups per team.

Most teams are playing 2 or 3 matchups this week in the shortened week but as Josh mentioned, the shortened weeks will get the fewer number of matchups. I want to think the week of the All-Star game will probably get that same treatment.

Nevermind...looks like this is the only week of less than 4 matchups. 20 weeks of 4 matchups and one week of 2 matchups gets us to 82.

The East is pretty well set at the moment. I'm 52 points behind Jimmy for the WC2 but I've got a 50 point lead on Billy and I'm up 107 points on Paul. I'm probably going to be the 9th place team at worse. I've got 9 weeks to make up 26 wins and that's a lot to ask when I lose more categories than I win.

The intriguing battle in the West if WC2 and that 3rd Pacific spot. Even Vancouver isn't out of reach as the #2 team in the Pacific. Good battle for the top spot between Steve, Will and Mik.

I'm wc2 and expect Vegas to pass me at the end of this week.

All Star week is a merged 2 weeks (our week 17), it's about 1.5 weeks of games. I think the week before is missing a day or two as well with the beginning of the break.

Getting a helluva offensive output this week but I'm still getting smashed my Hong. Winning a key matchup with Boston though. Can't keep losing ground to Jimmy.

Hello team ... can you fucking score some goals? Let alone get some SOG. My team this year has been so variable .. some weeks with 1-2 goals on 100+ shots.

Just looked at the NHL standings and compared to ours. Interesting to draw the comparisons- in the east in particular, if you flip the divisions the fact there is a top 3 in the metro, then all the Atlantic then the rest of the metro. Our Vegas and NHL Vegas both doing well. Nifty to see how it all works out.

The NHL and BBKL won the championship the same year. Gotta think the odds are low on that happening.

Look as though toronto michael could lose all his matchupsnthisnweek.

Scott you are having a good week. Managed to tie it up with great goalie stats. A few o-cats are real close but i think u got more guys going. Tight week so far.

[Shoalzie]

Very happy with my performance but just my luck...one of my two opponents happens to be the only team better than me in the offensive categories league-wide.

Ya it’s the wrong week to have a really solid week. Lose out on a couple extra big victories.
