Given you have 11 centerman gp left and I only have 5, I'd say you've got that category locked up.

Which gives you 7 cats locks and me 4 cats locked.

That leaves 5 categories. I would need to win 4.5 of the 5 categories at this point (due to home team advantage) so despite the close matchup, I have a very low probability of winning this: GWG, STP, Blocks, Shtoi, and Pim. 5 cats worth focusing on.

leaving out my boys Jokiharju and Manson could be the difference for a couple of those cats

Manson was injured going into the week. Went with drysdale over jokiharju for the offense, as I figured I had no chance at periphs and a chance at offense. Apparently the opposite was true.

This makes me feel better, thanks!

I’m only up 3 goals so that’s in play too.

9 games tonight and there's a total of 10 games left between Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

With no conclusion to last season, this has been an entertaining final...good luck to you both this week.

Fantrax...score is 7-7-2 but when you count them up it's 7-6-3 for Buffalo

GWG, STP and SV% are ties.

I’m assuming sv% goes to another decimal point that we don’t see. Matthew should get at least one more game so it will change.

Probably my only chance is if mackinnon is held out for the remainder of our matchup.

now I see why you are against allowing for subs in the playoffs

It would make more sense if I was for allowing subs in the playoffs given I have like 10 nhl skaters in the minors and bruyns has maybe 1?

It's really about if you have "replacement-level talent" that you can put into your lineup. Sure you can swap out Mackinnon for a healthy player but you're not getting that production out of your 13th or 14th forward.

Means Aho will take more draws probably. I lost Svech too, strange that they’d rest him and not aho.

Bigger news is Mackinnon is playing!!

Maybe, but staal has had multiple games this year where he got 20+ fow so he was by far my best chance at that stat.

You've locked it up. Even if I win gwg and stp. Once you overtake fow, the best I can do is tie, which goes home team advantage. Jordan staal sitting out removed my chance to win.

I'm only up 3 goals, that's you're last chance. I'm pretty confident I will win, but a 3 goal lead isn't locking it up yet.
