Start 2: Crawford(COL), Rinne(STL) a/o Elliott (NASH)

[havanablast21]

Which two to start?

Crawford vs Colorado
Rinne vs St.Louis
Elliott vs Nashville



My gut says Crawford is a no brainer, but he hasn't exactly excelled over the Avalanche over his career, and short Toews... is he a better sit that start?

And always tough to flip a coin between two head to head tenders (for fear of missing completely on the win). So Elliott vs Rinne... is that the better 2 goalie start?

Want to start the 2nd half off right and as such, want to make the "SMART" move rather than perhaps the "Obvious" move.

Thanks.

I'm taking the sure-win with Rinne/Elliott.
For me, that's the SMART move as I'd expect you are already in good position with this team owning Crawford (top goalie this year in fantasy).

Won't be an easy match for Toews-less Hawks against young/rested COL squad.

(From memory, COL was the team that beat CHI after they started two-three seasons ago with like 9-10 undefeated games to open season.)

Agree with Rinne/Elliott, I have a feeling it will be a low scoring affair.

In deed I am. As returning champ, how sweet would it be to win back to back titles and then add to it the additional $$ prize for Vezina (Crawford) and Norris (Karlsson) in my league... both with substantial leads. If Crawford plays well tonight and I don't start him... he still broadens his gap on Holtby for me.

Rinne/Elliott I think it is. Thanks for confirming my suspicions guys!

thanks Dikoi. Agreed... a nice 1-0 shutty would be nice (for either Elliott or Rinne!).
