2017 Playoffs, Quarter Finals

[Rob]

This is a bittersweet fact: I would have lost to LA.  Can't say for sure because I cut a few players, but my raw score from last week was 186 points.  I haven't looked at my dropped players to see what I could have done, but LA put up 209.

I bet Dan is going to love learning that

man,  everyone ,,, (except for cally) had great weeks.  I only broke 200FTPS  in 2 weeks all year. Crosby was great for me.  Dubnyk collecting a total of 7FTp in 4 starts is brutal.... I am blaming my loss on him!!!

I can't believe the week you've had man.... bad luck 10 fold.

Yea it's pretty stunning. 2 years in a row this behemoth of a team falls flat on its face in the playoffs...

Is what it is, nothing I can control.

However, somewhat interesting, I think all my losses this year came against the top teams. So it's not like I was steamrolling everyone and their dog. When it came to playing against the other better teams, my record was probably below .500

Although this week was an especially terrible week all-around...
7 of my players totalled minus fan-points at the end of the week.
And Jonathan Bernier continued to dominate the fantasy world as well, haha.
But when Romak Polak is one of your top fan-point getters over an entire week (at a staggering 9.55), you know you're in trouble.

Good luck the rest of the way Tyler and the Ducks.
Never know what can happen in a weekly matchup!

... I'm just hoping my team hits the 100-point mark this week.
That'll be a consolation win for us, haha.

I'm far from comfortable with my lead. I haven't had a great week either and it just takes one huge day from your team and we're back in a close match.

There's still hope Cally!  30 points down and 2 full nights of hockey (combining Friday and Sunday, anyway).

Anaheim, and Tyler... The Canucks throw in the white towel pre-maturely.

The boys decided this was the week to have the absolute worst output all year.
I think some of the other playoff teams have more than double the fan-points I have haha.

Guess it doesn't help that I haven't logged in until tonight on Fantrax. I see I have benched some players over the first 3-4 days this week including having 17-fanpts sitting on the bench tonight... (although who would have known Kinkaid starts over Schneider after NJ having 5 days off). Minus 10pts on Tuesday doesn't help matters either.

Looks like your prediction is badly wrong for the VAN-ANA matchup, Rob!

Appears like I'm this league's real-life Washington Capitals of the past 5-6 years or so. Great regular seasons, but playoff choke-artists haha. But hey... "There's always next year...!"

I kind of want to see an all Mountain West final four.

Oh that's a possibility... Interesting.
