kalensc posted:GG Jamwad, you deserved it all along but drat. Losing on a tiebreaker with multiple categories having a margin of 0 or 1 is a tough way to conclude the season! Kind of silly that the tiebreaker came down to the week 10 matchup. I would've had one more assist and won outright if a Pastrnak to Orlov goal hadn't been called offsides earlier today. That was a close one though!

Yeah, not sure how else to resolve ties though without using something convoluted like standard deviations to tally who won their categories by larger relative margins. At least I knew heading in to the week I need to take 5, not 4.5, so them's the breaks!

You may not like it, but this is what peak championship goaltending looks like: Good game genki (I think?). If you had used all of your add/drops you definitely could have/would have beaten me, because that was a super tight matchup. My already mediocre goalies all died and I streamed Jonas Johansson, Martin Jones, Mads Sogaard, Magnus Hellberg, and John Gillies this week. A real murderer's row. If you'll all allow me to brag a little bit.... That's: - 4 LSL titles - 3 LSL runner up finishes - 7 finals appearances in 13 years - 3 titles in the last 4 years  The secret to LSL is that goalies don't actually matter. I've now won titles with Carter Hart as my best goalie, Mackenzie Blackwood as my best goalie, and Alex Nedeljkovic as my best goalie. In short: Gobias Ind. posted:Carter Hart baby, love Carter Hart

In short: I think it shows goalies matter, but just like the Cup playoffs, it's pure voodoo knowing which duo/trio will have solid weeks in late March. My trio last year to win the LSL was Mike Smith, Ville Husso, and Logan Thompson, all picked up off waivers between December and March. This year I had Vasilevskiy as my #1, and a rotating cast which included Schmid, Ingram, Kochetkov, and Merzlikins fill in the other slots. Unfortunately Schmid was demoted, Arizona had a brutal schedule of Oilers and Avs games during our semis, and I'd dropped Kochetkov after he was sent to the minors and missed claiming him when he returned by a matter of minutes. I guess the main takeaway is you're highly unlikely to select a skater off waivers who could reasonably get you two goals or nine shots or what have you, but churning goalies can get you Wins, Saves, and perhaps even Shutouts.

What I was getting at is that I always avoid the insane LSL goalie rush. Way more valuable imo to get a couple elite skaters while everyone else is grabbing goalies. I also just remembered that my 3rd round pick this year was Landeskog, who didn't play a second. Not sure how I managed to win this year.

I prob still lose vs Yeet cause I just had a really down week, but TBone might have gotten ya.

I feel like I do go harder on goalies and have finished top 4, 10/13 years (2 titles), so you can certainly be successful doing that, but I would agree that you can probably make a better team if you find some underrated goalies and get high end offense.

Man, I was under .500 for most of the year in all 3 leagues so I've been taking a lax approach, and mainly just setting my lineups week-to-week and replacing any injured guys - I just logged in and didn't even realize playoffs came and went, and I actually got 3rd place in HHL  edit: actually, not a mystery - that's the team I had McDavid on

This is (I believe) the best finish I've had since moving to Japan. I'm not really able to be that active around adds/drops, the combination of timezone and life means I often don't really have a good time to update things (I used to do fantasy things at work during the day, just before the games, my results were much better). Unfortunate that I lost on that one last goalie win, but pretty happy with the season overall!
