Bench Bishop Tonight?

[Blues_fan1000]

i'm winning our 3 categories at the moment, but i'm afraid if the stars get shelled by boston its going to make the sv% and gaa cats much much closer here. he's normally been a stud but this is the right move right?

Some context. H2H is vs Jarry, Murray, Georgiev. Cats in the sig. Winning W: 2-0; SV%: .951-.842; GAA: 1.98-3.03

I think you have a good amount of leads in SV and GAA that you can afford a hit. Also, depends on your opponent's goalie schedules.. if they are playing tough teams.

If you were to sit goalie categories the rest of theek, and just take Sv% and GAA for sure (possibly tying or losing the Ws category) how do the skater categories stack up? If you lost the Ws category would it not make a difference, or do you need to keep it?

Dallas is 9-2-2 in February with the best PP - 31.6% in the NHL this month. They're the hottest team in the league.
I'm starting Bishop with confidence right now.

This is the analysis. You sit your goalies the rest of the way you have locked up the peripherals so you're betting 2 categories to try and win 1 additional category (where you are up).

Pittsburgh has 2 games left (2 opponent starts)
NYR have 3 (2 Georgeiv starts)

I see your opponent coming away with 3 wins and putting up some good peripherals. Personally I would bench the goalies until at least Saturday when you have a better picture of what's going on and hope for the best. Unless you are a head-to-head matchup and need the sweep to secure the weekly win.

i was planning on starting demko tonight vs ottawa. should be the better matchup. if i bench bishop, i'll have 2, outside chance at 3, starts left. dallas @ stl. and demko @tor or @cls

my opponent has the pitt tandem @anh and @sj. should be 2 wins really. then georgiev @mon tonight. probably not tomorrow @phi, then sun vs phi. so i think 3 wins is not unrealistic for them with pretty solid periphs.

taking wins would def not hurt the situation. but most of the cats are catchable. and im fairly confident in keeping fow

rest of the matchup currently sits. its tied 4-4
G A +/- PPP SOG FOW
me 3 7 4 5 27 54
them 6 8 4 6 28 38

Ended up starting both and both gave up 4 goals. Now losing the gaa cat

always works like this

I feel your frustration. I wanted to respond yesterday, but I honestly wasn't sure what I would do in your situation so I didn't respond. The best thing you can do now is start as many goalies as you can this week to win the cumulative stats and hope the averages the care of themselves.
