Let's Play A Game


Recommended Posts

I am going to lose tonight no matter what I do because I can't beat the 2010 Champs with the team I have to work with. The team that scores in flurries on non-gamedays and puts up easter eggs on gamedays. So I thought I would look to you fine hockey minds to set my lineup.Here are your choices for this evening.Defense:Francois Beauchemin @ MinnyTrevor Daley vs LAYannik Weber @ BOSWell that was easy, can't even field a full defense tonight. Well than let us move on to...Forwards:Scott Hartnell vs WpgRadim Vrbata vs NJDerek Roy vs ClsTomas Plekanec @ BOSBenoit Pouliot vs MTLCal Clutterbuck vs AnhDominic Moore @ NshTroy Brouwer @ EdmJared Stoll @ DalByran Little @ PhiIlya Kovalchuk @ PhxGoalies are set. My only choice is TB @ Nash. Probably should go no goalies but I can never actually pull that trigger.

Here's my suggestion:1. Ilya Kovalchuk NJ2. Tomas Plekanec MTL3. Scott Hartnell PHI4. Derek Roy BUF5. Troy Brouwer WAS6. Bryan Little WPG7. Yannick Weber MTL8. Trevor Daley DAL9. Francois Beachemin ANA10. Ryane Clowe SJG. TBNote: I would never go with No Goalies because you are essentially betting that your goalies are going to give up 6 or more goals. That's a long shot bet with any team.

I would go with Kovalchuk, Plekanec, Hartnell, Brouwer, Stoll and Roy for your forwards with Kovie as OT.

I really dont like that rule that you can actually dress no goalies.Even though its never the ideal play IMO, even the worst teams dont give up 6 or more goals 90% of the time.

Mine seem to give up 5 or more goals a lot. That is why it is always an option for me.TB has given up 5 twice, 6 and 7 goals a game in this short season.

Evidence to support my submission...my affidavit, if you will...sorry, I'm in lawyer mode :club:Even Strength TOI per gameLittle 14:04Vrbata 12:40Stoll 12:39Brouwer 12:34SH TOI per gameLittle 2:09Vrbata 1:57Stoll 1:20Brouwer 1:07PP TOI per gameVrbata 4:32Little 3:25Stoll 1:33Brouwer 1:31TOTAL TOI per gameLittle 19:39Vrbata 19:11Stoll 15:33Brouwer 15:14Goals by team played for:Brouwer - WAS 30 goals in 7 gamesVrbata - PHX 22 goals in 8 gamesLittle - WPG 17 goals in 8 gamesStoll - LOS 17 goals in 8 gamesBased on my intricate system that involves awarding points for gut feeling and the removal of points for pretty-boy nancery, I had to eliminate Stool (lol...I'm leaving that) right off the bat.Little's icetime and the fact that he appears "due" imo makes him a good choice.This leaves a decision between Vrbata and Brouwer. Vrbata is going up against NJ and Brouwer is going up against EDM. You already have Kovalchuk going in the NJ/PHO game so spreading your assets around favours Brouwer as how many high-scoring games is NJ typically invloved in? Plus, although Vrbata averages almost 4 more minutes than Brouwer...Brouwer's minutes are with a Washington team that has scored 30 goals in 7 games and Vrbata's minutes are with a team that has scored 22 goals in 8 games.My recommendation is that Little and Brouwer be your final two forwards.Disclaimer: The information provided here is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a licensed professional.
