The championship decider starts tonight. Who will emerge victorious?
It would appear to me that you have the more favourable schedule this week in terms of 4-gamers. That BOS postponed game works in your favour.
I think your suspect goaltending will be the determining factor. Rinne will be a scary start since they have nothing to play for now.
Oh man, I thought you guys were having a tiff and boy was I ever disappointed to see that it's just your league's H2H final...oh wait, that's good.
I hope it goes down to the last day and that someone wins. No one likes ties, not even Domi.

The fantasy hockey gods may reward horrorfan for his humility.
He was nice enough to not mention how he smoked me 10 - 3 in the regular season.

Like with a Fasth shutout to start the week......
Fasth - I love you man!
Pengwin, I did remember but thought the regular season matchup result is pretty much irrelevant to where we are now so didn't see a reason to mention it. Though as you indirectly implied, if I did, I'm sure I'd get smoked this week!
Think Fast(h)!
Great start for you.
And, as you noted, Dave Bolland was sub-par on the dot. Just 2 FOW.
6-4 horrorfan after one day.
Both of us with a good start with our goalies, and our skaters are close so not much in it:
really cool matchup and its fun to watch on here. for some reason I am rooting for Pengwin7.. UNDERDOG.
I almost hijacked this thread with my thooughts on all these categories... but I stopped lol

Don't mistake opinion for fact.
Oy! If you check the Rocky Horror Roto Show standings you might change your answer.

Steve Ott has been a beast for me in PIM this week.
I think horrorfan has the better schedule in skater games.
I've got a feeling we'll be playing the ultimate chess match in goalie starts & our two transactions for the week.
I was one click away from making my first transaction last night.
There were several players with 3 games left in the week, if I chose to swap out a BUF or WPG player (only 1 game remaining)... but I just couldn't burn a key transaction this early.
This could be the most epic showdown I've ever had in H2H!!!
Yeah I can't make a move just yet, but have some ideas depending on the timing and the situation. As for goalies, yep given our strong starts it'll be interesting to see what happens later in the week.
Last year I believe I won due to the tiebreak rules - that was epic.
Other than the fact that HF as it stands has a slight advantage in man games, I think this match-up will swing based on whichever team is unfortunate enough to ice a goalie who has a meltdown game - and you both have candidates who look potentially susceptible to this (ie: Rinne, Pavs, Markstrom), especially as the last few games become meaningless.
By the weekend, the championship may boil down to the classic protecting ratios vs. going for wins decision.
Brown's suspension forced my hand so decided to go grit and picked up McLeod. Then I realised that I should've had a closer look at my Saturday schedule, and I needed a RW not a LW! So I have to make a decision on whom to sit rather than having a perfect roster with no bench. Idiot. Maybe it'll be an easy choice but still - idiot.
