serge 904 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I need the advice of the masses...Despite having a superior team, i am down 2-1 and its a must win for me..Here is the dilemma...We both have Phoenix goalies available. My opponent has already put in Phoenix..Phoenix is in Tampa Bay..I also have the option to go with San Jose goalies at Dallas and the Rangers at home to Habs...Should I put San Jose in? Here are lineups:Clydesdales me:1. Jeff Carter....Philadelphia...OT G2. Phil Kessel...Toronto G3. Thomas Vanek..Buffalo4. Eric Staal...Carolina5. Dustin Penner...Edmonton6. Andy Mcdonald...St louis A7. Dion Phaneuf..Toronto8. Zach Bogosian..Atlanta9. Roman Polak...St louis10. Douglas Murray..San JosePhoenix GoaliesRavag(him)Steve Stamkos TBL **OT** 2. Milan Hejduk COL G3. Jason Arnott NSH A4. Mikhail Grabovsky TOR G5. Brad Boyes STL6. Martin Havlat MIN ADefense7. Michael Roszival NYR8. Kimmo Timonen PHI9. Johnny Oduya ATL10. Tom Poti WSHGoaliesPhoenixI like my matchup tonight, even though I dont get Datsyuk,Malkin or my dman of Lubomir,Gonchar,Russell and Niedermayer going tonight..Also would you substitute any of these guys that are also available for me:Tyler Bozak..Toronto at OttawaSteve Sullivan...Nashville vs PhillySean Avery...Rangers vs Montreal (got benched, next game got 2 goals)Brendan Morrison..Capitals at FloridaI like some honest advice..Its a huge game for me...

digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Habs are awful. Gainey has left the team in shambles. You should use NYR goalies. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Habs are awful. Gainey has left the team in shambles. You should use NYR goalies.The Habs are awesome they will probably win the cup this year...They will never lose another game again..I love the Habs. The preceding message was meant to start and apply the Serge curse.... Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'd probably replace Vanek with Bozak, that line has been hot lately.Then again, I'm a Leafs homer. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Definitely don't change your lineup. I'd probably stick San Jose in there. Tampa has a few less goals than Dallas, and Dallas is at home, but Tampa has been hot lately. Strategically, your lowest risk is to use the same goalies as he is. Doubly so since his OT player is against his goalies. You have the better lineup...stick with Phoenix. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah, pretty much your entire bench has scored tonight. That is shitty, but IMO, there weren't really any close decisions.Luckily, Kessel has 1.5 left in him and Andy Mac is going to put up 1.5 as well.Congrats on your win Serge!

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 GOOD LUCK!Thats a tough couple of guys to worry about. Im assuming someone from the Bruins will try and run+hurt Crosby though, so maybe youll get a breather there. Link to post Share on other sites
