Goalies matchups - Revisited...

[Chicleteur]

Is the AVS @ATL a good matchup for tonight? How confident in Theo are you now with Forsberg, Salei and Leopold out of the lineup?

As I already pointed out, I now have 19 goalies games left and want to make sure I play Luongo (I have between 10 to 13 games left depending on if he\'s playing the B2B games) everytime he\'s in. That gives me between 6 to 9 games to split between Theo and Ward.

Marty and some of you guys already given me good advices, but their recent play screw my mind...

Thanks!

I don\'t want to jinx you but I think you have to go with Theo as he\'s playing against Atlanta. They can always lose but you gotta love those odds, especially with Foppa supposedly back in the lineup. Salei hurts and Leopold I didn\'t even know he was back (sarcasm). So yeah go for it.

Foppa won\'t play tonight:

Does this change your mind?

I just saw that and no. So now it\'s Sakic, Hejduk, Stasny vs. Kovalchuk. As well, Hedberg is starting for Atl and he doesn\'t exactly wow me. Take away one of the 3 players I mentioned and I\'d still go with Theo. To me it\'s just the odds are very good for u. The only thing I\'d factor is the Avs road record but I still think they\'ll win.

Thanks Smack! I also just saw that Hedberg is in...

Chic, Theo and the Avs were on a roll before the 3 injured players were part of the lineup. They will be fine against a horrible Atl team. I personally hope the Avs lose but fantasy wise its a good pick to start Theo.

I have no idea why!!!

Now that Theo got the win yesterday (thank you guys for helping me not changing my mind), what\'s next on the menu for the remaining 5 to 8 games I have left?

Crazynuck, have you heard if Bobby Lu will play in all B2B? That should help knowing as this will change the number of games I have left for Theo and Ward.

I\'m really not sure about Ward for tonight...

[Crazynuck]

There has been no mention of Bobby Lou taking a day off even during B2B. The nucks are fighting for their lives and I dont see Bobby taking a rest.

Thanks! That change the whole thing as he would probably play 13 games (maybe minus one...) so I only have 5-6 games to give to Theo and Ward...

If I hear anything different I will let you know.

That would be awesome! Thanks again my friend!

I would be hesitant to play Ward tonight. The Canes have won 4 straight, and the Haws have lost 3 in a row. Look for both of these streaks to snap. If they don\'t, it will be a high scoring affair that you don\'t want Ward to be a part of regardless.

[Chicleteur]

Thanks Marty! That\'s really what I think and as I said, with only 5-6 games left, I will become cherry picker...

[mapletreemarty]

Wow, I sure dropped the ball on this one. Good thing Ward got a shutout.... what makes this even worse is Luongo gettin\' pulled in the 2nd.... yikes!!!
