Semis or Finals; who got knocked out and who's still in?

[Bass56]

Hey all, just figured there is 1-2 weeks left for most pools and so hopefully many of you are probably still in the hunt for your league's championship title.

For myself, that ''dream'' ended yesterday evening after the Pens (Sid and Sheary in my case) came up short vs the desperate Flyers. I needed a goal or 2 assists from my 2 guys but it wasn't meant to be. Once that game was over and the matchup's result was set in stone, I texted the opposing manager and wished him luck for the finals. I then put my phone down and did this:




My wife came in the room and she was like ''What the hell is going on?!''

and I was just like:



Anyways, I think I'm over it now, but I'm curious to hear any of your stories (good or bad)!

That's heartbreaking Bass.

Keeper league Im in made it to the finals thanks to Mason's win yesterday. Unfortunately up until that win I had no clue so I used all of my moves for scraps to hopefully pick up points. Now facing a guy who had his win locked up on Thursday, so his lineup is full tonight including Elliott and Allen.

Yearly league I had a bye so in the semis now. Should be a tight one.

I won the regular season (big prize) by literally 1 fantasy point, it was super close with 4 in contention.

I start the semi finals for playoffs (smaller prize) tonight against the 13th ranked team who has pulled off a couple upsets already. He's led by Holtby and Toews so we'll see but I like the matchup overall. Lucky for me in this case that Stamkos hasn't returned yet... For 13th place his team Is daunting enough.

I went into my matchup well behind and had an amazing Sunday. I added Lowry and Cogliano as last ditch efforts (because they played Friday/Sunday) and both had GWG's in their games. That combined with a great stat line in the Philly-Pens game gave me enough to advance.

Now I need Dubnyk and Talbot to get their games back this week.

7 H2H leagues:
1 team - Missed playoffs
2 teams - Going into the third place game this week due to some disappointing goalie weeks
1 team - In the semis this week as there's a late final round (pretty confident I can make it through)
3 teams going into the finals this week (one of which made it through on the skin of the teeth of Wheeler and his PPPs this week - sorry 4T2)

All in all not too bad.

Mason is going to be solid in the coming week(s) if the Flyers remain in the hunt. They totally manhandled the depleted Pens yesterday. Your upcoming matchup is not ideal with him having the 2 hot hands of Elliott and Allen, but in a weekly H2H, anything can happen! Fingers crossed my friend!

Nice job on the regular season win MZac!! I hate playing those lower tier teams; you never know what to expect! Best of luck!

EPIC move LawMan! Ironically, someone in my 1-year league added Lowry and Zibanejad in a similar fashion. He ended up being 1 GWG shy of moving on...

Not too shabby at all. In 4 leagues, you walk away with 1 bronze, 1 potential for gold but no guarantess on a medal yet and 1 potential for gold with bronze as the worst case scenario.
