Bad or Worse: Who to Pick Tonight?

[Rehdaun]

I can pick up either for tonight.

Bernier (TOR) at TB (Vasilevsky)
Pickard (COL) at LA (Quick)

My cats are a little different, no SV% or GAA. Just W(1pt), SO(2pts), Sv(.2 pts), GA(-1). I'm looking for one that will see a lot of rubber without letting too many in and without getting yanked.

Bernier lost two in a row while giving up 10 GA.
Pickard got yanked after giving up 4G on 20 shots.

I'm thinking Pickard. What do you think?

[Dikoi]

Are you really desperate for a start? I'd stay away from both, both teams are playing the 2nd game of back-to-back on the road. If you really need to, I'd take my chances with Pickard.

[Rehdaun]

Thanks Dikoi. Yea, I'm really really desperate for a start. As you can see by the underachievers in the 1st league in my sig this year hasn't been kind to me. Add to that I drafted Turris, RNH, Nyquist and Kreider, all of which are no longer on my team I've had to do some work to stay afloat.

It's been extremely brutal the last 7 weeks, where I'm 1-6, losing to the team with the highest points 4 of those times. My only win was because I got the highest points that week, edging out the 3rd highest.

It's a short week due the the all star game, this being the last night for the week. I've already been screwed out of a Mason start on Monday and another one tonight because of his LBI. I'm up by .95 points with the other GM having more starters and Ramo starting. If I can get a 1/2 a55ed effort from some goalie and at least some production from Philadelphia tandem I just might pull out my second win in seven weeks.

I'll get you rep'd when I can.

If you want to put another bullet in the gun, Neuvirth will be starting for the Bullies tonight

[Rehdaun]

Thanks Kirknall but Neuvirth is already owned. For some reason only the hockey gods know Neuvirth was picked up by another GM on November 12, the day after he gave up 4 on 40 shots, almost a full month before "goalie controversy" talk around December 10. Been on his roster ever since. I can only think of one reason, to screw me on nights like this.

Thanks for thinking out of the box, Rep'd ya.

Isn't there supposedly a flu going through the COL locker room? Pickard wasn't even supposed to start yesterday (supposedly), but I guess a sick Pickard beats Roman Will, who was also suspected to get a start. I feel there's a higher probability that Bernier has a quality start - even despite the Lightning picking it up offensively.

[kirknall]

And the winner is Pickard!!!

I think. He get like 4 points?

[Rehdaun]

Got me 5. Just enough to squeak out a win this week. Thank you all!!!!
