[Rant] Have you ever choked a 20 point lead in epic fashion??

[lektrix]

Sometimes you realize...at the end of the day, its still just gambling.

Right now I just need the dealer to bust a couple times but he keeps knocking down 21s with bust cards. I feel like I just walked into a casino with $500 flatbetting $20/hand and lost it all in 30 minutes.

3-0 Pitts and I can't even get points from Malkin, Kunitz, Letang. Of course Malkin goes cold right after I acquire him. I can't even remember when was the last time I got a 3+ point night from any of my players.

I feel your pain. In a 12 team H2H league. start 3C 6W 4D 2G my team looks like this. I'm sitting in 5th. I have the 1st most fantasy points by a margin of 100 pts, and I'm also 1st in fantasy points against by a margin of 85 pts.

My team looks like this:

C: Couture,Little,Stepan
W: Kessel,Sharp,Hornqvist,Nash,Kucherov,Simmonds
D: Weber,Byfuglien,Phaneuf,Klingberg
G: Lundqvist,Schneider
Bench: Scheifele,Wilson,Trouba,Kuemper(dropped)

All went downhill when Dubnyk joined the Wild and Kuemper stopped playing. I literally am first in points for AND against. Everybody ahead of me had two of their best week this season against me.

I'm going absolutely crazy in this league as I just can't catch a break. When Lundqvist got injured, somebody had picked up Talbot a couple of days earlier for a spot start then forgot to set his lineups for a couple of days, realized Lundqvist was injured and has been riding him since.

feels good to let it out, as this league is just getting me frustrated on a daily basis.

Would it kill for the Wild to just go on a 2-3 game losing streak? You know, maybe get Dubby pulled once or twice so Kuemper or Backstrom can get a game in?? lol

I've never choked-up a 20 point lead...but I'm 85 points away FROM BLOWING A 200 POINT LEAD!!!

I've lost 115 points in the last two weeks. I had such a huge lead that a took a chance at the deadline and traded some of my depth (non-keepers) for picks to help me in future years.

I have no idea if I can hang on for the win. Lundqvist needs to get back ASAP!

Lundqvist needs to come back this week and put Talbot back in his place... 3rd place guy has Lundqvist too, kinda helped me for 2nd but I want 1st!!

Of course Sharp breaks out of his slump as soon as I trade his ass away......And now Malkin is injured. Just traded away Karlsson and Sharp for him... Give me a ****ing break.

Stretch run now folks with only a little over a week left. 3 weeks later and the shitty luck continues for me. Malkin out, Letang out. Kunitz continues to suck. Anderson comes back for a couple games but his team quits on him. Meanwhile Dubnyk still hasn't slowed down yet and backups like Hammond, Stalock continue defying odds and Hudler is in the Top 10 in scoring. Can I just have some good fortune for the last week; one hot, productive week to go my way? Screw the prima donna superstars...reward my hard working, secondary scorers like Stone, Plekanec, Fisher, Dubinsky with hattricks!!!
