PrintPremier Match-up
Anzeholics Anonymous vs. BROWS
Anzeholics Anonymous wins 12 - 1!
MVP: A strong week from Giguere locked up all the goalie categories for the Anzeholics.
LVP: BROWS' best goalie is Ryan Miller, who had a poor week. This wouldn't be so bad if his other goalie wasn't Craig Anderson. Uh oh.
Another team bites the dust, and the Anzeholics keep on rolling.
Wiki-Sharks vs. MEEEEEEEAAAAT
Wiki-Sharks win 9 - 3!
MVP: Jonathan Quick - stir up some fun and some great goaltending.
LVP: Rudy is his own worst enemy once again, making my week much easier. Playing against Rudy's team is like playing against this season's Anaheim Ducks.
Does anyone remember before the season started some Kings fans were talking about how Quick would probably lose the starting job to Bernier? Kings fans are dumb.
Sleek and Destroy vs. 2 Live Drew
Sleek wins 7 - 6!
MVP: Earl's goalies helped him win this close one, so credit goes out to Turco and Neuvirth.
LVP: Kiprusoff had a GAA of 5.08 this week. That's not good.
2 Live Drew got 24 penalty minutes from a guy named "Zenon" this week. This supports my theory that guys named after noble gases are tough bastards.
Teal Blades vs. Quid Pro Clowe
Teal Blades wins 8 - 3!
MVP: Angy's faith in the Sharks pays off, as both Joe Thornton and Antero Niittymaki had outstanding weeks.
LVP: Martin St. Louis was completely shut out this week, with not even a single shot on goal.
How good was the goaltending this week for the Teal Blades? Quid Pro Clowe had a 1.63 GAA and a .940 save percentage and LOST both of those categories.
Kitten Mittens vs. Steoguchi's Revenge
Steoguchi's Revenge wins 8 - 7!
MVP: Tim Thomas was not just a goalie this week, he was the living embodiment of the Goalie Force, the source of pure goaltending skill that exists in parallel with our universe. Tuukka Rask is never going to play again, and he might as well go back where he came from (a cave during prehistoric times, I assume).
LVP: Ilya Kovalchuk. That is all.
The Kitten Mittens had five goalies on their roster this week, and only one of them had a game that was at all good.
IAmJoe(Pavelski) vs. Intaglio
Intaglio wins 10 - 3!
MVP: Danny Briere had one goal, two assists, and 27 penalty minutes this week.
LVP: IAmJoe had five separate players on his team who scored no points and were a minus one.
IAmJoe also only had one goalie game played this week, and it was a bad one.
Fournick Gators vs. spades lil bandito's
spade wins 7 - 6!
MVP: Paul Stastny is always good for some points and wins faceoffs like a faceoff-winning machine.
LVP: Dan Carcillo put up a neat and orderly "0" in each of the nine scoring categories.
There was a time, not long ago, when having Brodeur and Fleury as your goalies would be awesome. That time is not our time.
McSorley's Stick vs. Slappyville Freezers
Freezers win 11 - 2!
MVP: Both Nicklas Backstrom and Niklas Backstrom had great weeks.
LVP: Yikes. Blake Comeau I guess was the worst, but the lousy play was pretty evenly distributed.
No ties this week! Good job everybody.

I figured it was in your best interest to keep that as quiet as possible.
I’ll probably do a recap of that one at certain points during the season, but I don’t want this to become just a fantasy hockey blog. We’re professionals here!

GO SHARKS! Not only for the sake of being my team, but for my three fantasy teams. :)

I got really screwed by last minute goalie changes this Saturday, otherwise I’d have tied Earl. Damn games started category. Bah.
But my real fantasy superstar was Justin Williams: 3 G, 2 A, 1 PPP, and 14 SOG. Way to be gangster. None of the fantasy articles will ever mention picking him up, though.

Naw, you had a really good week, just got unlucky in goaltending matchups (or rather, i got extra lucky).
Yeah, I have J-Williams on my Mirtle league team — he was instrumental in a win in that league this past week as well. The Kings are winning games, though — could he possibly pot a few more game-winners? :)

could he possibly pot a few more game-winners?
Yes, please! He got one previously, I think? (That’s such a flukey stat. I had more goals than ever this week and none were game-winners. Last week, I had three or four.)
I can’t really be down on Kipper, though, he won me three categories all on his own with a shutout last week. The Flames aren’t a team, they’re a bipolar ward on a rollercoaster.

Wooooooooooooooooo!
And the Anzeholics keep on rolling!

Oh yeah, Meg:
Does anyone remember before the season started some Kings fans were talking about how Quick would probably lose the starting job to Bernier? Kings fans are dumb.
Nope. The general feeling was that Bernier had a chance if Quick slipped up like he did last season. The crazier things were said by fantasy authors and beat writers.
It’s not like they said Nitty and Nemo were the best tandem ever, or anything. (That’s clearly Team Jonathan.)

Why don’t you guys just delete your comments and replace them with edited remarks?
Oh, you can’t do that? Hohohoho….

I just know that we had a fair number of people on this very site who voted for Bernier for the Kings starting goalie when we had a fanpost about it. You should all be feeling shame about now.
Bernier and Niemi should go on a road trip together while Quick and Nitty handle the goalie work.

Parise is having knee surgery?
FUCK.

Purely for salary cap purposes, I’m sure. It’s probably not even on one of his two playing knees.

So you’d say that it’s a knee-cap situation?
