Default [Cage Match Tournament] #4 Backstrom vs. #5 Varlamov

It's time to run down our final first round matchups in the Cage Match Tournament with those from the Dryden Bracket. We have been seriously thin on upsets so far but that is just fine by me. Remember that you are voting for whichever goalie you prefer in a one-year league with Wins, Goals Against Average, Save Percentage and Shutouts as the categories.

So cast your votes and make your voice heard!

Other matchups this week:

#1 Smith vs. #8 Neuvirth
#2 Ward vs. #7 Reimer
#3 Luongo vs. #6 Lindback

Varlamov has a nice future but Backstrom is so established.

These guys are VERRRRY close for me. Varlamov's home numbers were dirt-nasty last year...if he can get some consistency on the road he'll be a great fantasy option.

I actually had Backstrom ranked one spot above Varlamov in my ranking...so I have to go with him.

That's almost enough to make me vote Varly.

That's almost enough to explain Backstrom's early season injury.

In a 1 year league, I would take Backstrom.

I realize this joke was made at my expense but even I laughed at this one.

Sad part is that this isn't a joke. I actually believe it to be fact.
