The two top Skater lineups in BBKL go head to head in the Big Eastern Conference Showdown ... the perennial almost maybe kinda vs. the perennial champ


Washington: "Why spend cap on Goalies?"
Doesn’t matter, it’s all about Sunday Funday McElignneeieey

Buffalo: "Do I have an achilles Heel?"
John “Mr. Glass” Gibson

Thanks Thom was hopping on to make this. GP could be a factor, you had a lot more last week and I have a lot more this week. I have a feeling goaltending could decide this..

Ya hence my risk it all on McBackup ...presumably on Sunday ... I gotta hope to nullify your goalie advantage. Otherwise Stats i think break down like this:
G - coin flip (pavelski addition helps me catch up, Bennett becoming the next Jamie Benn too :P)
A - should be you, lower variance and you have a strong (the strongest?) team in Assists
P - well... you
+/- - coin flip as per usual
PIM - you
SOG - You, especially b/c of GP advantage
GWG - coin flip
STPts - coin flip with Pavelski and Bennett now not being in CGY... but still edge to you of course likely
Hits - you
BLk, FOW, SHTOI - should be me ... but the GP advantage maaay swing SHTOI.
So really I need to win my share of the coin flip stats then hope on McBackup not exploding on a sunday

Ya I see it this way as well, I dressed 3gp Dowd over 4GP Rakell to try and win SHTOI. Gibson getting a win to at least tie wins would be really helpful.

I think everyone is tired of Steve and I in the finals constantly.

Big night for him, it's not like he didn't get opportunities in CGY they used him with Gaudreau and Monahan and he still sucked. A lot of people online thought it was an overpay and he was a replacement level player. Change of scenery has done wonders, but I wonder if he can keep it up or if it's a hot streak like he has had in past playoffs.

I'm happy with how things look after two nights, especially after Marchand got a GWG to tie that up.
