Odds are in your favour!

That first place team looks like he has a good lead but with a couple of high scoring games in the Western series, you can be right back in it...

If St. Louis wins, you'll finish second - 10 points out of first. If San Jose wins, you'll finish first by four or five points

I won this league last year, and I'd be surprised if you don't take it home this year.

Well done on the predictions!

What do your standings look like after tonight's game?

[chuckcouples]

I am up to 178 points. The leader has 183 with Crosby and Kessel as the two guys on his team that I don't have. I think I am assured to finish in at least 2nd since 3rd place has 166 points and only Crosby for guys I don't have. 4th place has 165 points with Crosby and Letang. 5th place is at 154 points but has Kucherov, Johnson and Crosby.

I like my chances a lot more today than I did a week ago.

Well look at it this way; you have at least 2 games remaining with Couture, Burns, Pavelski, Thornton and Hertl with a possibility of 4+ if they win their next game. Should the Pens and Blues move on, I'm pretty sure you still have enough StL firepower to outmatch his 2 Pens/Blues players as your own StL players will have had to pull out a rabbit out of their hats to move on (and in turn, you will have reaped the rewards of this stretch points-wise).

Now that SJ has won and is moving on, you are 1 step closer buddy!!

[chuckcouples]

First place has 189 points and has Kessel and Crosby left. I have 188 points and have Couture, Burns, Pavelski, Thornton and Hertl. 3rd place has 171 points with only Letang and Crosby remaining.

I like my chances to have my Sharks outscore Kessel and Crosby.

I think you are in a wonderful spot right now. Congrats on pegging the West so well, it is going to pay off.

[chuckcouples]

At the end of the first round, I had 68 points and was 42 points back of the leader. After last night's game, I climbed into first place by 2 points. I dominated the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I had 73 points in the 2nd round which was 11 more than the leader after the 1st round who was 2nd in round 2. I had 47 points in round 3 which was 30 points more than the leader after round 2 who was 2nd in the 3rd round. Things are looking good.

[chuckcouples]

I now have a 3 point lead with 4 or less games remaining.

As much as I want the Pens to win this one, I'm happy for you that SJ got the win and that Thornton was able to get a couple of points out of it!

[chuckcouples]

I am now only up by 1 point. I need the referees to start calling penalties again to win this pool.

[Bass56]

Congrats chuck!!!! From my calculations, you should have won by 4pts!!

Way to come back from a huge deficit!
