CBJ Fantasy Hockey Thread (post fantasy / video game items here)

Depends on your league rules and how important goalie play is in your league. I'm temped to say no, that the Tarasenko side wins, but that's based on assumptions about goalie value.

 

Scoring is G(3), A(2), PPP(1), SOG(0.4), and for goalies it’s Wins(4), SV(0.2), SO(4).

 

Didn't quite know where to put this. Since it's for my fantasy team...I figured in here might be appropriate. How's Foligno looking this year? It seems like he's been given every opportunity to score on the top line and top PP unit but hasn't made it on the stat sheet in weeks...is this concerning? I stupidly traded zuccarello for him thinking he'll pick it up soon. I'm first in assists, PP and pretty high on goals so I picked him up for peripherals (hits) but obviously would like him to be producing somewhat...definitely leaves somewhat to be desired. Thoughts?

 

To be honest- Not too many of our forwards are producing offense. Kind of a disjointed bunch in my opinion. Doesn't help that our power-play is absolutely abysmal.

As for what to expect from Foligno- Hopefully his offense picks up a bit and he can be around 40 points. I kind of think of him being around 0.5 ppg player honestly. He scored 26 goals last season, but 11 of those were on the power play. Our power-play was the best in the NHL to start last season for about half of the year until teams figured it out and shut us down, thus severely inflating Sam Gagner, Nick Foligno, Alexander Wennberg stat totals.

 

I am trying to get Bobrovsky again; I am thinking of offering either one of Huberdeau or Pastrnak and Lindgren? Huberdeau is hotter but more injury prone. Pastrnak has been good but the Bruins suck this year.

 

If I may ask another fantasy hockey question, would you rather have Cam Atkinson or Wayne Simmonds?

 

They are probably about even in your league honestly.. I'd probably roll with Cam Atkinson starting to produce some more points and goals than what he has thus far.

 

It's basically a points only and Pim league.

 

It’s just amazing he hasn’t been able to even accidentally pick up a secondary assist in the last 15 games almost.

 

If it's a PIMs league, you take Simmonds without a doubt.

 

Wennberg back in the lineup against CAR tomorrow?

 

Sure hope so. We need him. It's looking possible.

 

Freakin' bye weeks are going to kill me this week. I've got 9 players out for next 5 to 6 days. Pancake Bunnies fare a bit better but still this sucks.

 

Also it's playoff time already in HF CBJ land. How'd that happen so fast?

 

Probably because you've been in first since the beginning...you know time flies when you're having fun. Hoping for a matchup between the Waffle Hares and Pancake Bunnies in the finals but we both need to win the next round.

 

Bob'sBrickHouse	30	42	19	14	29	210	140	1	3.81	.877	0	5
Waffle Hares	18	23	9	25	10	114	157	5	2.67	.896	1	6

Good luck to Waffle Hares in the finals. Goaltenders killed me, 5 wins (1 shutout)
vs 1 win all week for my team

 

^^^^^ Was a crazy week. When Rask shutout Tampa Bay I was saved. Your offensive stats were unbelievable but its a crazy game.

 

Would be remiss not to congratulate Waffle Hares on a yeoman effort in finishing second in this year's HF Fantasy season. Good on ya, Espen. Your competition must have been truly top-notch.

 

Man I thought the playoffs were two weeks...the dumbass commissioner probably effed it up...I thought I was still alive...well, congrats to you sir on a well done season...looking forward to a renewed battle next year.

 

Since this is also the video game thread:

Regional rosters set for 2018 NHL Gaming World Championship

Apparently the NHL is holding some sort of gaming tournament with a bunch of stuff I don't understand. But the finals are coming up, and they're going to be broadcast, and part of the announcing team is a Columbus YouTuber, Andrew Telfer aka @TheNasher61.

What a world.

 

Which 3 players would you keep?

Patrik Laine
Victor Hedman
Mark Scheifele
Seth Jones
Nikolaj Ehlers
John Klingberg
Zach Werenski
Andrei Vasilevskiy
John Gibson

 

If you're in my league I'd search your roster for 3 others...

 

Laine
Vasilevskiy
Scheifele

 

Shoot. This is tough. Depends on the kind of league and the way the league is set up. If we’re going off of potential alone, I’d go with Laine, Vasilevskiy, and Hedman (or Jones )

 

Just a league where you get to keep 3 players each year. Originally, I was going to go with the 3 you mentioned (or Jones), but I think I may keep Scheifele.
