If the Kings win the series, you win Dobber.
If the Rags win the series, you lose.
I think Brown racks up some points this round. Good luck.
Yes, you can probably hold on
Nope. He's probably got you
Playoff pools are all about bodies and he has you covered there. On paper, the simple possibilities that can manifest themselves tilt the odds in his favour, but going for you is the fact that it could go 6 or less and the fact that Kopitar and Toffoli are hot. I'd say you can count on M. Richards doing almost nothing but Gaborik (hot), Williams (hot) Stepan and B Richards are sure to score. It will probably be the two assists M. Richards gets that will do you in... It will be a near coin flip either way, but my sense has you losing by something stupid like 2 points, even with the lead you have, which could be gone if the series is a high scoring one. Kings have showed they can score but also they can let in a bunch.. If the Rangers take on of the first 3 games or lose a couple of high-scoring ones, you are toast. If the Kings convincingly win low-scoring affairs, it's yours. But then again, the Kings games haven't exactly been extremely low-scoring.

Meh, I'll take Dobber's position 9 times out of 10. A five point lead with the top scorer on your team? He'll win by a point or two when all is said and done. Oh, it should be close, but my money would be on Dobber's team.

If the series goes 7 games, you're screwed. The other guy has Justin Williams.

I like the "other" guys chances more than yours. Still its a good problem to have, finishing first or second. I wish we all had that kind of trouble
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

The other guy has a 3 point lead now, thanks to Kopitar/Brown/Toffoli just getting two points in three games, vs. his Gaborik/M.Richards/Williams/Stepan/B.Richards combining for 10 so far. Couldn't be going worse, and he gets the tie-breaker too.
So Wednesday I pretty much need to gain 4 points - I could use a pretty high-scoring Kings shutout win, and hope that Kopitar/Brown/Toffoli get most of the points

Sorry man.
Justin Williams has been a beast this series... and the token points for Mike Richards ain't helpin either.
That sucks dude. I've been in that situation... nothing worse than having a big lead in a playoff pool and watching it slowly evaporate as the series progresses.
I'm currently battling for first in one of my pools, I'm one point back.. He has Kopitar, Carter, Voynov and M. Richards. I have Gaborik, Williams, Doughty, Stepan and I know it's going to come right down to the last game of the series.

I need this series to go to 7 if I want to win... I got 9 pts to gain for first now (from 14)
I'm down 10 points and I have carter, gaborik, williams, brown, doughty, and martinez.. I could use a couple more games aswell..
I've already locked up 1st in one draft and won a $100.00 bet with a Wings fan after the B's beat them in round 1.. All in all, its been a successful playoffs for me!!

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I have a 27 pt lead. I was pretty well the only one to bet hard on the Kings. I have Quick, Kopitar, Carter, Gaborik and Doughty. I have McD for the Rags. I got this in the bag.. Dobber, the math was against you sadly and the awakening of sorts of Mike Richards is getting you! Sorry bud.
Z, series got extended so you might have a chance!
