Fantasy hockey playoffs
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:44 pm
I mentioned in the fantasy baseball thread how my interest has waned in that area thanks to PEBA. On the other hand, I'm still a big hockey fan and my one and only hockey league (run by Chris of the Tempe Knights) is still a big hit with me. I'm owner of the Steagle Colbeagles (a tribute to a Stephen Colbert gag), and after a much-needed 1st round bye I'm just starting the semifinals.
As chance would have it, I'm playing Chris (owner of The Bolsheviks. He's got a tough squad, but we're both dealing with some key players sitting out. For Chris it's Patrick Elias (whose D2D) and Chris Pronger (suspended for 8 games due to a dangerous stomping incident). For me it's Zdeno Chara and Sidney Crosby, both of whom are likely to miss the entire semifinals for me. That's some serious firepower missing from my lineup!
Tonight I'm taking a risk and starting Henrik Lundqvist against the red-hot Penguins. I'm probably going to get burned, but every time i bench King Henrik he goes off for a shutout. Of course every time I start him in a close call like this he gets bombed... I can't win!
Do we happen to have any other hockey fans in the house?
