What does your team need this weekend?

[hockeyrobot]

Everyone is starting their own thread so thought I'd let everyone pile on in here. What do you need going into this critical weekend with a ton of games???

In my keeper league I am in one of the tightest matchups I've ever had. We've been switching all week. I got a shutout early. He got one Friday. Really hurt me that Jones didn't beat Florida Thurs and Markstrom blew a lead vs NJ on Friday.

Currently tied 4-4

Goals = 13-11 me
A = 16-25 him
PPP= 10-8 me
SOG= 99-101 him
Hits=72-43 me

W=3-4 him
GAA= 1.98 - 2.01 me
SV%= .932 - .943 him
SO = 1-1

I just need my team to keep doing what they've been doing. League in sig, currently in the second round against the 6th seed leading 153.6 - 96.2, which is a good lead. The second round and the finals are two weeks long though and I got screwed in the second round last year after being ahead in the first week.

My team has all but locked up the win this week. What we need are healthy defensmen for next week, namely Karlsson and/or Krug. Unfortunately it's not looking good for either.

I have not lost a match yet this season. I have never had an undefeated season in any fantasy sport and I have been playing for 30 years. [Knock wood] I should be enjoying the bye week. But I am actually really stressed sitting here watching. The #6 seed is beating the #3 seed in my side of the bracket. Wiping him actually. He will stream the shit out of his lineup next week against me.

The dreaded underdog that has nothing to lose and can serial stream. You either blow them out or it's way too close for comfort all week and could go either way come Sunday. I wish you better success than the 2007 patriots.

There is a silver lining, however. I traded for the #3 seed's 1st round pick with some crafty dealing early in the season. The pick will now be the 5th pick so I am assured of getting Cozens or Dach.

So much for the close goalie matchup I had. Thanks Matt Murray.

One man's tragedy is another's comedy/treasure! Exactly what I needed. Penguins loss coupled with blanks on the PP. See you on the ice tomorrow Letang! Help me close out this week.

A lot of very specific things. I have four H2H matchups that are currently either tied, or within one category flip of me winning/losing. If I'm going town all four, it will have to be some pretty specific people getting shots/FOWs/hits/etc, as it seems everyone I have on one team is then against my next team.

I am finding the same thing! My leagues are incredibly close!

Right now I really need a Jones win tonight. So put your money on Nashville.

I need a Dubnyk win in one league, while in another I need him to be scored on at least once, and preferably not win. GAH.
This is the worst part about H2H.

The sad thing is, most of these matchups are going to come down to a couple hits or saves either way. It's not about goals/assists/etc.

Very true. I have never joined a H2H points league but I feel like that would be the most fair.

I don't find them all that fun really. It just ends up being people chasing whatever stat got overvalued in the setup of the league. Be it hits, goalie saves, etc. H2H at least you have some semblance of strategy before it all goes up in smoke in one unlucky week anyways.
