I made it to THE FINALS!
Big week for me as I go H2H for our Yahoo league's championship! Unfortunately, I'm going up against a team that's a total buzzsaw right now.However, I've banked two trades to use this week. Here are the line-ups:
ME: In the sig file below...
HIM:
C: Kopitar, Gomez, Antropov (RW)
LW: Eriksson (RW), Laich, Morrow
RW: Perry, Hossa
D: Chara, Blake, Zidlicky, Ehrhoff, Quincy
G: Nabokov, Rask, Halak
As you can figure out, we both got to the finals thanks to some hot goaltending. The problem is that I'm shallow in goal (Brodeur, then a big dropoff), while he's stacked with THREE good tenders.
I'm looking for some thoughts on strategy to take him down. What do you think of these options...
A) Dump either Boucher or Price since they're not bringing much to the table. Free agent goalies who are playing well right now would be:
McElhinney (when is Hiller coming back?... or maybe's he's playing the rest of the way)
Lehtonen (should have more starts than Turco this week, but will the #'s be good?)
Clemmensen (has some good games, but makes me nervous)
Last week I won by playing fewer games vs. my oponnent, but picked better matchups for GAA and Save %. Basically quality over quantity - Perhaps I should stick to that strategy?
B) Pick up two players in the last couple days of the H2H week to gain in the categories that we're close in. For example, if we're about tied in PIM, pick up a goon in the last weekend. Try to edge out points in the close categories without sacrificing in the other one's I'm leading in.
C) Do nothing and have faith in your team.
D) Any better ideas from YOU!
Any thoughts from our braintrust out there? Thanks and good luck to the rest of you who are playing for championships this week. I'll dish out some rep points here... You deserve one just for reading all of this!
