Last day of the finals - what to do?

[vonderpibe]

I posted something similar in the goalie thread but figured IÂ’d post here for some other perspective.

I’m in a tight match up with skaters but my goalies haven’t been great for me this week.

I have 3 adds and the other GM has 0 adds.

Current goalie stats are:

Me: 1 W, 3.09 GAA, 0.894 SV%, 0 SHO
Him: 2 W, 2.52 GAA, 0.924 SV%, 0 SHO

I currently have Kuemper, Greiss, and Lehner... so I could start Kuemper and the NYI G to guarantee a win, but that would only tie me up in W and might not be enough to get me by.

Alternatively, I can play 1 of my 3 G, and pick up another one (Mrazec, McElhinney, Korpisalo, Grubauer, Demko) and try to go for the 2 W. This would require me using one of my 3 pick ups on a goalie.

For reference, he has 9 skaters and I have 8 skaters left (with 3 adds).

The stats are as follows:
Me: 14 G, 30 A, +10, 30 PIM, 17 PPP, 119 SOG, 164 FW, 51 HIT, 25 BLK
Him: 10 G, 12 A, -9, 33 PIM, 7 PPP, 121 SOG, 178 FW, 75 HIT, 38 BLK.

My skaters: Horvat, Pettersson, Edler, Giroux, PLD, Domi, Nino, Pulock
His skaters: Backstrom, MacKinnon, Cizikas, Jenner, Shaw, T. Wilson, Gudas, OEL, Eller

It looks like he is really pushing for FW. HIT and BLK seem pretty hard for me to catch now, and PIM really depends on his team, but he does have Wilson, Shaw, Jenner, and Gudas.

In terms of who to add (regarding skaters), I was thinking at least two of: Compher, Stepan, Kerfoot, M Martin, Zadorov, Boychuk, Hinostroza

Hopefully you went with Lehner and Kuemper!

Hopefully you went with Lehner and Kuemper!

I did! It was a close game and I even had the lead in G catergories until NYI scored their second goal.

The score is currently: 7 - 5 for the other GM, and I'm trying to decide who to add:

Stats as follows:
Me: 14 G, 30 A, +7, 30 PIM, 17 PPP, 124 SOG, 181 FW, 51 HIT, 31 BLK, 2 W, 2.54 GAA, 0.912 SV%, 1 SHO
Him: 11 G, 12 A, -9, 35 PIM, 7 PPP, 128 SOG, 199 FW, 91 HIT, 40 BLK, 2 W, 2.52 GAA, 0.924 SV%, 0 SHO


Players to play are as follows
Me: Pettersson, Horvat, Domi, PLD, Neiderreter, Edler
Him: MacKinnon, Jenner, Shaw


I have 2 adds left, and need to decide on who to go for. I can possibly catch up on PIM, SOG, FW, and maybe BLK (if Edler tries to play goalie as usual)

The current potential adds I have thought of, depending on what category I need to catch up on: Compher, Kerfoot, E. Johnson, Jost, J. Williams, Biega, Savard, N. Thompson, Beagle, Saad, Zadorov
