Stafford or Hayes?

Mike Smith got injured tonight, and from what ppl are saying on the Injury forum it sounds like he's done.

Who would you pick for the rest of the H2H playoffs? Stafford, Hayes or Michalek?

I will be able to play both Stafford and Hayes 2x this week, Michalek 3x. Michalek and Stafford 3x next week, Hayes 4x

Stafford and Michalek on the 1st line and 1st PP , Hayes ... not really sure lol
Hayes actually has two multi point games (2pts) over the past 10 games, vs Stafford is all singles. Hayes has 8 in the last 10, Stafford 6, Michalek 8 but streaking right now.

I still feel like I should pick Michalek while he's streaking with Spezza and Hemsky and overall better team, what do you guys think?

I like the spread of Games you'd get rolling with Michalek, especially because he gets you more games sooner.

Michalek is my pick as well, he's also seeing excellent PP time on the first unit.

Michalek is the easy choice. It's not like Hayes has the "hot hand" advantage because Michalek is playing as well of late + more proven to continue over the next 10.

roll with Michalek as he is playing with Spezza & Hemsky. Ottawa may have a final push in them.

I'm going to drop D. Sedin for him ... should I roll the dice and do it tomorrow or do it today? Sedin plays again Thursday and Sat (I need to scratch someone too). Michalek plays Fri and Sunday.

I can play D. Sedin once for sure next week, and a second game IF I scratch someone else. Otherwise I can play Michalek 3x next week without conflicts and a 4th time if I scratch someone else.

Worth the risk for one more game tomorrow, or try not to let someone else pick him up? The other guys HAVE NOT replaced Malkin or Kreider yet so its only a matter of time before they make some moves.......
