    Numbers schnumbers.

    There are situations when I use them, and others when I don't. This is one of those times where I would less likely to use them. To each their own. It may work out or it may not. I have my strategy and it can work out just fine - one strategy is not necessarily better than the other. You can analyse it all you want but on a given day anything can happen.

    Oh just a quick comment on the shutout on the bench. It's not always foreseen, so I wouldn't kick myself as much if it were a 'lesser' goalie. But that's just me.

    Anyway, we'll just agree to disagree.

    Pfft, you can use statistic to prove anything :P

    Like the fact that Elliott is only sporting a .875 SV% compared with Lundqvist's .905.

    So no Mr Pengwin, not all the numbers are on your side.

    Also, just for the record, Nashville, Colorado and Florida all are scoring less goals per game than Columbus, so they technically aren't "the worst offensive team in the NHL". But now I'm just being a prick
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    lol so looks like the only consensus here is to start Rask for sure
    12 Team Keeper (keep 4f, 2d, 1g, 1anything, 1 rookie) Points only.

    F: Ovechkin, Backstrom, Thornton, Nash, Hossa, Semin, Pominville, Voracek, Zetterberg, Burrows, Brunner, Steen, Galchenyuk

    D: Phaneuf, Shattenkirk, Carle, Wideman, Ehrhoff, Pitkanen, B. Smith

    G: Lundqvist, Rask, Khubodin, Biron

    I would go with Elliot and Rask. Pitt. is due for a break-out and do not see Columbus winning this game against St Louis.

    With Vanek out and as bad as Buffalo has been looking - this is a no brainer.

    The fantasy hockey gods were obviously so displeased with our bickering that they decided to make us all look like fools (re: Start Rask).
    Well played fantasy hockey gods, well played.

    Yep. This is why all our reasonings can go out the window sometimes. It would've been a rough one for me if I had to choose but would have accepted it.

    Yup - made a great call on this one Vanek has been my nemesis in fantasy hockey... When I own him he seems to do nothing, but when I play against him he destroys me.
