Opinion: Can I win this thing?

[NatureX]

Hey guys,

Very short period to go, I am in third, back 21 pts as of last night. Here are the 2 teams ahead of me, and my team, is it possible I will actually catch up and win this thing?

I made a trade of P.Kane for the Sedin Twins at the deadline, and it hasn't paid off yet.

Is this roto or total points?

Team A missing Crosby, which may affect Dupuis/Neal, and has Hossa/Staal/Plekanec injured.

Team B has Letang hurt, and goalie situation sucks.

Think your forwards/goalies give you a good chance to come back, tho D sucks other than Burns.

It's total points.

Ya my D is brutal

I play in a points-only league similar to yours so I can empathize.

The probability is low, but a 21 point lead is definitely surmountable with some luck. I wouldn't hang up those skates just yet.
