BBKL Week 2

[Shoalzie]

Posting this just as a heads up that Monday has an early start because of the Dr. King holiday. Wings-Jackets start at noon tomorrow. Early roster lock...be prepared.

NHL Pittsburgh is gonna have a rough year. I wonder if they would entertain moving crosby/malkin to finally rebuild?

Ya we’ll see. I think philly is the class of that division so not surprised down 0-2. Jarry obviously had a rough start but we’ll see what happens the next week or two. Kapanen joining lineup may be helpful. Really their defence is still a big sore spot.

[kimmer]

how about them stl too

Rgr that

[Shoalzie]

Yup, scrambling to piece together a lineup. Ugly first week and I can't imagine it's going to get much better.

[Matthew]

Looks like a 5 matchup week for all of us.

[Bruyns]

Schedule will be in tomorrow, current matchups are incorrect. Weeks 2, 5, 8 and 11 will be 5 matchups the others 4.

[kyuss]

Just great, Laine injured right before a 5-game week that counts for 5 matchups, and Manson goes down in the 1st period of his 4-game week

What an absolute stud varlamov is.

Not helping the tank tho.

[Handsome&FairMike]

No slagging varlamov as he’s been good... but Barry trotz... makes goalies that much better

The quality of his goaltending has never been the issue, the question has always been how many time will he be tending during the season? These things called injuries seem to follow him everywhere...

Exactly

He’s always been an elite talent, but now he has one of coaches who has his team play a very, very sound defensive game

Stats are stats for fantasy anyways and it’s not like trotz is going anywhere any time soon. Varly is still only like 31/32 also. Some great seasons left in him still.

Yes but it’s not as bad as you make it out to be.

Once he joined Colorado in season 2011/12 he has had the following amount of starts:

53
35*
63
57
57
24*
51
49
45 (shortened season)

So in 9 seasons he’s really only had the total amounts of starts affected two times really.

Nashville/Carolina game tonight postponed. Covid issue with Carolina. I guess they could be out for 2 weeks? There go my top 2 centers...

[Shoalzie]

They used the phrase "out of an abundance of caution"...it doesn't necessarily mean they have an outbreak.

[Shoalzie]

Apparently 3 Carolina players tested positive including Jordan Staal...

[Tony]

Oh look, another team from the Southern US... shocker!
