mrdannyg 274 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 well colorado is obviously out. nashville is better than toronto, but the islanders really really suck, and columbus' offence is decent.with the leafs at home, i'd go with them.plus, the leafs rule.

They are the lowest scoring team in the entire league, The Islanders are scoring, on average, upwards of half a goal more against their opponents per game than Columbus. The only reason I would remotely consider not taking Nashville is because Columbus' power play has been the team's only bright spot, whereas Nashville's Penalty Killing has been poor lately... even that's not enough to change my mind though.Also, Nashville has allowed 11 fewer goals this season than Toronto, and that includes the horrific start they got off to when Nabokov was injured.

ajs510 122 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I played Florida's goalies against the Isles on the basis that the Isles really, really suck, and they rang up 4 goals on me. Go with Nashville. They're my starters tonight as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Islanders do have way more goals than Columbus, so far. you've gotta figure columbus will average more than 2.17 GF/g.home/away has to be a consideration, but its still close.in terms of EV, it barely matters. On second thought though, with Kubina back, I'd go with Nashville. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Nashville: Columbus is in a bit of turmoil and turmoil affects production. Second pick, Colorado. With Turco in the other net, could turn into a goaltender duel. Budaj has played well as of late.... Link to post Share on other sites

He's die hard, give the kid a break I still think if you look at the numbers Leafs are the pick at home agaisnt the Islanders..Cant go with Colorado in Dallas and Nashville in Columbus is dangerous..We will see if this costs me Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 FYPAs it turns out my decision was not bad..Nashville gave up one but Toronto gave up 2...I still think Toronto was the right pick... Link to post Share on other sites
goose 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Serge it wasn't the right move lol. I'll be as sure about starting goalies as I was about this one 5 times a year, maybe.Even if Toronto shut out Boston, and Boston scored 3 goals on its own net, and Nashville let in 16, it would have still been the right decision at the time to start Nashville.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Serge, why do you even need goalies when your team is so dominant? Link to post Share on other sites
