  I'm gonna wash this off. Doing his solo tour today, so
• 0:22
  our lead vocalist has. He's pulling a John Lennon on

  But and that's why we are a duo today and not a trio, but it's
• 1:05
  the best duo. So listen.
• 1:07
  Yeah. And I don't always say that when
• 1:09
  it's being somebody else. I've been at the receiving end

  community as well. So we are going to start off
• 3:24
  with our week 7 choices. OK so first of all we
• 3:30
  recommended my pride and joy the one the only best centre on
• 3:37
  Columbus, Adam Fantilli. I had to fight tooth and nail to
• 3:41
  make y'all see the light on Adam Chantilly.
• 3:43
  And thank you for for. Coming on the you did not have
• 3:46
  to fight to the nil. That's quite like tooth like
• 3:50
  maybe no no, no, but I I just saw the skill was there and now
• 3:55
  he's playing with Voronkov Marchenko, the power play one.
• 3:58
  This is a high scoring team, love it.
• 4:00
  Roster him if you still like on your waiver somehow because.
• 4:03
  There's a lot of potential this year.
• 4:04
  We highlighted him as a potential league winning pick
• 4:06
  up. Like earlier in the season it
• 4:08
  was Neil Carlson. Now you get another opportunity
• 4:10
  with Adam Fantilli. Not saying he's gonna do what
• 4:12
  Leo Carlson, Leo Carlson's been doing the whole year, but he's
• 4:15
  going to be elite for your fantasy team in the Discord.
• 4:17
  I've just been like having people out and who to drop
• 4:20
  random Chantilly in. The fact that he's available and
• 4:22
  still so many leagues is just wild.
• 4:24
  So it's on your waivers currently.
• 4:26
  See if you could go pick him up. That 2023 draft man, the top
• 4:31
  three picks, Connor Bedard, Leo Carlson, Adam Fan till little
• 4:33
  while Will Smith and #4 is not about nothing like golf at.
• 4:37
  Yeah, yeah, seriously. That was a crazy, crazy top
• 4:41
  three, though. All right, next we have William
• 4:43
  Ecklund of the San Jose Sharks. He had played three games.
• 4:47
  He got 2 assists, 2 points. And just for good measure for
• 4:49
  Fantilli, he had four games in Week 7.
• 4:52
  Three goals, one assist, 4 points.
• 4:54
  Great pickups all around. Yeah, two wins there.
• 4:58
  And then we have Andre Burakovsky, three games played,
• 5:01
  one assist, one point, but he was injured, so he can't really
• 5:04
  fault us there. Nevertheless, it's an L.
• 5:06
  We got to be fair about this. Our record on the Was it a good
• 5:09
  pickup scale for the season is 11 and 4.
• 5:13
  Not bad, not bad. Pretty good.
• 5:16
  Yes, two game teams this coming up week 8 are Edmonton and
• 5:21
  Seattle. So there's quite a few 4 game
• 5:25
  teams, so we don't really need to get into that.
• 5:28
  We're going to talk about the top players with those and the
• 5:32
  off nights that's Dallas Stars, Auto Senators, Washington
• 5:36
  Capitals. Pretty excited about what the
• 5:37
  Capitals are doing, but more on that in our bylaws.
• 5:40
  Hell, high episode coming up, we're going to be dropping
• 5:43
  tomorrow. All right, let us begin with.
• 5:48
  #10. Nice, that was good, that was.
• 5:52
  Like I'm nothing if not incredible.
• 5:53
  Actually, that was elite. But we need we need to just give
• 5:56
  a short profile Che preface, preface, preface one of those
• 6:01
  three. We're going to cover 10 guys
• 6:03
  here that are really good for your points.
• 6:06
  Some of them contributed in bangers as well.
• 6:07
  We're always talking about bangers on Bangor management,
• 6:11
  but these guys are gonna get points exposure will cover more
• 6:14
  banger heavy guys in the top five after and then your goalies
• 6:17
  after so stay tuned. A lot of good stuff coming, but
• 6:20
  for number 10 we got. I closed the window for a
• 6:26
  moment. Sorry, Kyle.
• 6:27
  Paul Berry. I was Islanders.
• 6:31
  I was so enthralled with the preface.
• 6:34
  He was looking at the history of the word phase.
• 6:36
  He was like, what does it mean? But yes, Kyle Palmieri lying 2
• 6:42
  power play one on the New York Islanders a regular three games
• 6:46
  this week, but he's been a stud all year.
• 6:48
  Yeah, he's hits points. Yeah, well the thing with Paul
• 6:52
  Mary is like we list them as line two people one, but he's
• 6:54
  playing with Bohor Vet who is the main centerpiece of this New
• 6:59
  York Islanders team. So it's pretty much lined one
• 7:01
  people you want. It just depends how the team is
• 7:03
  quote UN quote like listing them.
• 7:04
  But he's lined 1P1, he'll get you 0.75 points per game.
• 7:08
  He'll get you 3 shots a game and point to power play points and
• 7:12
  honestly, the fight of the guys on waivers and you're able to
• 7:13
  stream on a weekly basis is already just very valuable.
• 7:17
  In your deep leaks, he's one of the guys that you pick up and
• 7:21
  you like. You hold the whole season
• 7:22
  because he's at the end of your roster and he just contributes
• 7:25
  on a weekly basis. In your shower shallower
• 7:28
  leagues, though, he's the type of guy that bounces on and off
• 7:30
  waivers, and this is one of those weeks that if you need a
• 7:32
  guy like this, he's a great option.
• 7:35
  Yeah yeah pick pick him up while he's been hot he he's gonna it's
• 7:39
  gonna be inconsistent. The Islanders have actually been
• 7:41
  pretty decent on offence as of late.
• 7:43
  We have a good sample size in his career to know that he's
• 7:46
  more of like a 55 point guy. He's outpacing that right now.
• 7:49
  He's on pace for 62 on the year are hot being said.
• 7:52
  Yeah, they are. They are.
• 7:53
  I mean, look, I add Schaefer as myself high and not long ago
• 7:56
  it's looking like he's kind of here to stay.
• 7:58
  Rookie defenseman still going to be inconsistent as is the killer
• 8:01
  team because this is not an offensive wagon.
• 8:03
  But definitely as they're Bo Horvat's been on fire.
• 8:08
  Paul Marys Stapleton on line 1-2 whatever the Hornet line and
• 8:13
  power play 1. So yeah, he's a great pickup
• 8:15
  this week. Next we have a guy with four
• 8:18
  games and two off nights, Tyler Sagan of Dallas Stars.
• 8:23
  You didn't even let me do the number 9.
• 8:27
  So sorry, I'm so sorry. You think you have friends, you
• 8:30
  think you have friends and then something happens and then they
• 8:34
  betray you on your podcast. Honestly, I will report on fire.
• 8:40
  They've been no, I'm I'm OK. That was the only one we're
• 8:42
  skipping. So Tyler saying yeah, at #9 line
• 8:47
  2, power play 2 of the Dallas Stars, the offensive best
• 8:50
  offence there's that's ever offence.
• 8:53
  Yeah, since coming back from injury, I feel like he started a
• 8:55
  little bit slow. Last two weeks he's at .86
• 8:58
  points per game. He's on line $200 team.
• 9:00
  That's like clicking on all cylinders right now.
• 9:03
  What to know with the second though?
• 9:04
  It's not gonna get you the most category coverage.
• 9:06
  Maybe we see updates in the future as like you know, he
• 9:09
  progresses further along from his injury, but right now you're
• 9:12
  getting him for points. The power play exposure PB2 on
• 9:16
  Dallas is still not the worst. They have an incredible first
• 9:19
  unit, but people do can get it done as well.
• 9:21
  That's why he's #9 on the list. 4 games on off nights, almost a
• 9:26
  point per game. Over the last two weeks he
• 9:28
  shoots only about one shot a game 1.5, so it's not anything
• 9:32
  to write home about. But really this is like a point
• 9:33
  stream. Yeah, and you know, it's kind of
• 9:38
  interesting because we think of Dallas as like an absolutely
• 9:40
  offensive insane team. We're which really that they
• 9:43
  are. But right now they're like
• 9:46
  they're like in like kind of like in 10th, 11th place for
• 9:50
  goals for that's going to fluctuate by the time you hear
• 9:52
  this recording. So it's going to be around
• 9:54
  there. They should be top three angles,
• 9:56
  4 per game rest of season. So I would say that any player
• 10:01
  on this team can get you that offensive potential.
• 10:04
  And what the schedule this week. I really really like Saga to
• 10:06
  pick up. They're absolutely.
• 10:09
  Alright, next we have. Oh, I was watching you.
• 10:13
  I'm not forgetting again. #8. OK of the Boston Bruins clue, he
• 10:23
  has the same last name as a guy. Another guy on the same team.
• 10:27
  We have not Elias, but Hampus Lindholm of the Boston Bruins.
• 10:32
  As mentioned, line 2 power play one with Macavoy out.
• 10:36
  The Bruins have been quite the surprise this year.
• 10:39
  I thought they were going to be a dollar sign, dollar sign like
• 10:42
  they were last year. But it doesn't really doesn't
• 10:46
  really look like they're going to be a bottom of the standings
• 10:48
  team anymore. That being said, it's kind of a
• 10:51
  it's going to be up and down. And I mean, there are first
• 10:54
  place in the Atlantic right now, which is pretty wild.
• 10:57
  I still think it's up for debate.
• 10:58
  Like if you pull up Boston's lineup and you look at it,
• 11:02
  you're like, how is this team in the NHL realistically?
• 11:05
  Like it's they got three players and and that's it.
• 11:07
  It's it's pasta, It's geeky. And then if you want to throw
• 11:10
  McAvoy in there, you can throw McAvoy in there.
• 11:12
  But then it's just like a bunch of scrubs.
• 11:14
  And I don't want to do anybody dirty.
• 11:15
  But this Boston team being first in Indian Atlantic right now is
• 11:19
  to me, they're finishing out of a playoff spot.
• 11:22
  So I if I bought some player, I'm trying to get them off my
• 11:25
  roster if possible or if they're not a stud, which I don't know
• 11:29
  how many there are, but Hampus Lindholm being P1 without McAvoy
• 11:33
  there brings value to your fantasy team.
• 11:35
  And it's always nice when we can recommend a defensive streamer
• 11:37
  because right now happens at home as we speak is only 9%
• 11:39
  owned. That already goes to show that
• 11:41
  not everybody is rushing to the waiver wire to pick him up after
• 11:43
  the McAvoy injury, but we're seeing the power play actually
• 11:46
  pretty like click a little bit since he's been out over the
• 11:49
  last two weeks. Pampus has 0.43 power play
• 11:53
  points, 0.7 points, so most of his points coming from the power
• 11:58
  play, but that's not a bad thing.
• 11:59
  Boston has one of the best power players this year.
• 12:01
  Does that stay consistent throughout the whole year?
• 12:03
  Probably not, but right now it's clicking and you want to take
• 12:06
  advantage of that. If you have a defensive spot
• 12:08
  open and you want some power play production, I think he's
• 12:10
  one of the best games out there on this On this week, he only
• 12:12
  has three games, but it'll still be a really solid three games.
• 12:17
  For sure if yeah, I mean, as long as you got the power play 1
• 12:20
  like you said. And one other thing to mention
• 12:22
  is that he did have one season where he got 53 points in 80
• 12:26
  games like nothing elite. This is not an amazing player.
• 12:29
  And when he has no power play one, there's zero value for
• 12:32
  fantasy. But given the fact that he does
• 12:34
  have it now, you could expect, you know, .6 points per game.
• 12:38
  Wally has that and minimal back cats, but still worth it because
• 12:41
  the points should be somewhat reliable.
• 12:44
  Yeah, even with the Bruins kind of declining.
• 12:46
  So we'll see what happens. I don't mind it as a stream.
• 12:50
  That's right. Next we have. #7.
• 12:55
  Darren Turnip. Sorry, Darren Radish, good one.
• 13:01
  Alright. Tampa Bay Lightning Line 2,
• 13:05
  Power play 1. The Bolts play four games this
• 13:08
  upcoming week and they are an offence that's been a bit of a
• 13:13
  question mark all season long. Brayden Point has also been $8
• 13:17
  on dollar sign. I I don't know if we could say
• 13:20
  which I may believe, but that's the idea there.
• 13:23
  I think you can say it. I won't say it again, but you
• 13:26
  can say. That right there there have been
• 13:27
  a synonym for donkey offensively compared to what we think
• 13:31
  they're going. But yeah, I mean, look, they
• 13:36
  have in 20 games this season, they have 61 goals and 23 the
• 13:41
  Bruins of 74. Like this is something we expect
• 13:43
  to reverse, right? And less goals than the Maple
• 13:47
  Leafs. Like they're just
• 13:48
  underperforming offensively right now.
• 13:50
  And even though they're winning, they're winning by small
• 13:53
  margins. So when they take up the guy,
• 13:56
  the defenseman on that team who's going to be power play 1
• 13:59
  is going to improve as well. And I think Radish is kind of, I
• 14:03
  mean, look, this is not someone you're super have super strong
• 14:06
  conviction about as a player, but you have conviction about
• 14:10
  the team, the power play. And he's poised for success
• 14:12
  there this week. I think you can already see
• 14:16
  that. No darn radishes, the type of
• 14:19
  guy that first of all, in years past has already given Victor
• 14:22
  had been a headache because we've seen had been bumped off
• 14:23
  P1 in the past and for some reason they wanna put Darren
• 14:27
  Radish there when they're in rage is not playing P1.
• 14:29
  He's averaging like 8 minutes a night and is a scratch every
• 14:32
  other game. But what had been out, they
• 14:35
  wanted him on the power play and that completely boosts his
• 14:38
  minutes. Like since Hedman has been out,
• 14:39
  he's been averaging over 20 minutes a night, which is wild.
• 14:43
  I feel like all his production has come in the last three
• 14:45
  games, but we're already seeing that he can actually contribute
• 14:48
  on this team. When he's playing big minutes,
• 14:50
  he's shooting more. He'll get you some blocks.
• 14:52
  It's nothing fancy, but as long as Victor Hedman is out and is
• 14:55
  supposed to be missing multiple weeks, so this could be a
• 14:57
  multiple week stream as well for the headman owner.
• 15:00
  I just pick up Radish and then calls until Hedman is back and
• 15:03
  just make the swap when they're healthy.
• 15:05
  But Radish right now, he's actually pretty valuable for
• 15:07
  fantasy. He's exposed to one of the best
• 15:09
  power plays, even though they haven't necessarily been
• 15:11
  clicking on all cylinders the whole season yet.
• 15:14
  But he's the type of the same type of player.
• 15:16
  That's somebody that's not on this list, Axel sending Palika,
• 15:20
  who, you know, got some people want exposure on Detroit.
• 15:22
  And everybody's like, oh, do I pick him up?
• 15:23
  Like did he bump Slider off completely?
• 15:26
  I'd rather have Darren radish because even though I know he's
• 15:29
  getting bumped off when Hedman is out when headman his back,
• 15:32
  sorry, I still think those weeks are gonna be valuable.
• 15:35
  Whereas Pelinka doesn't have, you know, the category coverage
• 15:39
  and also he's not super contributing on the power play
• 15:41
  when he's there as well. So just if people were curious
• 15:44
  where we stand on that Link is not going to make this list at
• 15:46
  all. But radish I think really
• 15:48
  deserves to be here. He's got four games as well.
• 15:51
  I think it's a great stream and it could be a whole until
• 15:53
  Headman is back. Yeah, I really like what you
• 15:56
  said there, especially the fact that he turns them from Victor
• 15:59
  Hedman into Victor Headache when?
• 16:01
  Yeah, when he randomly. Takes was had been bumped off
• 16:04
  again. Who was there?
• 16:05
  Literally why? Literally it's it's it's rough
• 16:08
  out here, but the main idea is that you have the opportunity to
• 16:12
  pick him up. He's not super high owned.
• 16:15
  And yeah, I mean four games that the volume is going to be there
• 16:18
  on a power play that should be quite good this upcoming week.
• 16:22
  OK, next. Number six.
• 16:28
  When a player's name is spelt like this, I'm never sure how to
• 16:31
  pronounce it, even though he is one of the guys on this list
• 16:34
  that's on my team and I love him and the last name.
• 16:37
  No issues there. But I don't know if we say RTM
• 16:40
  or Artem left Shanov. Where do you stand on that?
• 16:43
  I say Artem, but whatever. Whatever Arden wants are, Jim
• 16:47
  wants what? So the solution here is that
• 16:51
  Artem RTO has got to listen to this and tell us how to best
• 16:55
  pronounce his name. Yes.
• 16:57
  Little side tangent there, remember when UPL was in a thing
• 17:01
  and like an interview post game and it was like actually the way
• 17:04
  to pronounce my name is whoa wow that was melodic.
• 17:09
  I've never seen a name for. Nelson More rhythm in my life.
• 17:12
  Seriously, seriously, it was a brilliant musical stuff over
• 17:16
  there. Anywho, at number six, we have
• 17:18
  Artem left Shanov of the Chicago Blackhawks regular three games
• 17:22
  this week, No off nights. That being said, Connor Bedard,
• 17:26
  Oh my goodness, what a player. And if this is this is another
• 17:31
  guy that I had extremely strong conviction of extreme, OK,
• 17:35
  decently strong conviction of that was a bit of an
• 17:37
  exaggeration because he was drafted second overall last year
• 17:41
  by the Chicago Blackhawks and they don't really have any elite
• 17:45
  offensive potential coming up from like their decor.
• 17:49
  We were kinda high on Rinzel just because of the concept of
• 17:52
  him being power play 1. Then he lost it and now love
• 17:55
  Shanov. I mean, look, this is a team
• 17:57
  that that is not necessarily making a deep push this year.
• 18:02
  Best they'll be a fringe playoff team.
• 18:04
  And if they do have success, which again, like I'm not saying
• 18:09
  that there will be a friends playoff team, but they're not
• 18:10
  going to like be tanking like they were last year like
• 18:13
  they're. Trying.
• 18:14
  No. They wanna win.
• 18:15
  Yeah, exactly. Absolutely, so they're gonna
• 18:17
  like alongside that it's really important to get their their
• 18:21
  young future superstars going and love Shannon is gonna keep
• 18:25
  that power play deployment for the foreseeable future because
• 18:28
  he's producing there and they want to get him going.
• 18:30
  Those two things going for him. I really like him being there.
• 18:33
  The back hats not really existence, but the points points
• 18:37
  have been really, really nice and I've really enjoyed morning
• 18:40
  him as as I have, so I think that he could be a good stream
• 18:43
  for this week and beyond. Yeah, I think the main thing
• 18:46
  would love Chanov is the power play deployment, right?
• 18:48
  Like, we didn't hate him as a player.
• 18:50
  We hated his deployment. And it's good to be at least
• 18:54
  have these guys on your radar early on in the season knowing
• 18:57
  where the opportunity is for the guy that's currently on P1 to
• 19:00
  get dethroned. And Lebanon was like the classic
• 19:02
  candidate for that. Rinzel got bumped off, Leshnock
• 19:05
  came on, and he's been doing really well ever since.
• 19:08
  You want exposure to this Chicago Blackhawks power play
• 19:10
  right now because it feels like everybody that's on it is going
• 19:14
  off. Like we're seeing Bertuzzi miss
• 19:16
  games, come back, score, score multiple goals.
• 19:19
  It's actually pretty crazy. But that's raising the tide for
• 19:21
  everybody on this team right now.
• 19:23
  It's really special to watch. Left.
• 19:24
  Shanov is probably on the fence. Bin.
• 19:26
  We just talked about how it's difficult to stream points from
• 19:30
  the defenseman position and that's why usually this list
• 19:32
  encompasses mostly multi forwards, right?
• 19:35
  But we just named 3 defensemen in a row in home radish and left
• 19:37
  Shanov that are options for this upcoming week, which is really
• 19:40
  cool. His like Jake said, his category
• 19:42
  coverage is not anything special.
• 19:43
  You'll get slightly above one shots, hits and blocks, which
• 19:47
  listen, it's not nothing, but that's not why you're rounding
• 19:49
  him. He's the power play is going off
• 19:51
  right now. 2/3 of his points are from the power play, which is
• 19:54
  nuts. You write it while it's hot.
• 19:56
  He's a great option this week and then as long as long as
• 19:59
  they're clicking, you want him on your team.
• 20:00
  That's pretty much how I look at the situation.
• 20:03
  Yeah, like we are, we are all higher on Schaefer than love
• 20:06
  Shanov like. For sure, it's not like they're
• 20:08
  Schaefer is no different stratosphere.
• 20:10
  Totally agree, but Schafer's 93% owned Lev Shanov is 29% owned.
• 20:18
  And what's kind of important to mention is that over the last
• 20:22
  month left Shanov has average .64 points per game and
• 20:26
  Schafer's average .53 points per game.
• 20:28
  Yes the back cats are better. Significantly like over double
• 20:32
  the shots for Schaefer, but Levchin always got better power
• 20:35
  play points. And the big one here is that
• 20:38
  rookie defenseman, young defenseman in the NHL, the
• 20:41
  inconsistencies are gonna be there.
• 20:43
  And the points for Legion of are all assists.
• 20:46
  He has not scored a single goal all season.
• 20:48
  So as far as the consistent metric goes, like you could say
• 20:53
  that he's going to have good weeks and bad weeks.
• 20:55
  I mean that's just the nature of it.
• 20:56
  But I'm looking at them points wise in a similar place, even
• 21:02
  though back that's by far Shafer way better.
• 21:04
  Nobody considers them in the same stratosphere.
• 21:06
  I'm just giving you like two young defensemen on up and
• 21:09
  coming teams that are 1 is thought about as like the next
• 21:12
  big thing and the other ones like OK.
• 21:14
  Cool, right yeah it's good to look at the numbers and see how
• 21:18
  far they are in terms of a gap from each other in value because
• 21:22
  if you're looking at the name value, it's completely one sided
• 21:25
  right exactly. I do think that the way this
• 21:28
  power play is converting for Chicago is not super
• 21:31
  sustainable, whereas Shapers production is going to be
• 21:33
  consistently at this level because you know, electronic has
• 21:37
  .65 points per game over the last month and .5 of those are
• 21:41
  on the power play. So like it's just you know, it's
• 21:43
  not something that you can consistently have throughout the
• 21:45
  whole season. If that goes down to like a
• 21:47
  point 2.25, like you'll see him average less than less than half
• 21:50
  a point per game. But right now it's hot.
• 21:52
  You write it while it's hot and obviously much rather have
• 21:56
  Matthew Shaffer because you know it's gonna be consistent, but
• 21:59
  it's just. I just wanted.
• 22:00
  To like in a small window of time, how similar players can be
• 22:03
  even when there's 90% loss versus 30% rostered.
• 22:06
  Exactly. And that's what this transaction
• 22:08
  is really for us this coming week.
• 22:09
  And then you know whatever like whole like no reason to drop him
• 22:12
  if he's still performing well. So that's kind of where I'm at
• 22:14
  with this. OK, let's move on to. #5.
• 22:19
  We have of the Minnesota Wild's Mats Zuccarello.
• 22:25
  I was Captain Norway over there. Yeah, yes, Captain Norway is
• 22:28
  well said. He's been on a tear recently.
• 22:30
  Like if you open his game log like he's been clicking on all
• 22:33
  cylinders. He's even been hitting to.
• 22:35
  He could easily be higher on this list.
• 22:37
  I still think the guys ahead of him are worth picking up more,
• 22:40
  But would I be shocked if he gets the most points in this
• 22:42
  upcoming week? I would not.
• 22:44
  He's playing line 1P1 with Kaprizov.
• 22:47
  I I think, you know, we've seen them have chemistry in the past.
• 22:51
  Bully has had that spot in the past as well.
• 22:53
  But the initial the initial duo was Kaprizov and then
• 22:56
  Zuccarello. So Minnesota is a team that have
• 23:00
  been fluctuating a lot this season.
• 23:03
  His value goes up and down. But Zuccarello, since playing
• 23:06
  with Caprice, has been very successful.
• 23:07
  I am really interested in streaming him this upcoming
• 23:10
  week. I think he'll do very well for
• 23:12
  your fantasy teams. Yeah, yeah.
• 23:14
  And OK, this is about to be a joke, so please don't get mad,
• 23:18
  Daniel, you're off. What a guy.
• 23:22
  I'm telling you. I'm telling you that.
• 23:24
  That Russian? Communists win over with anybody
• 23:26
  playing between the A line with Zuccarello and Kaprizov is gonna
• 23:30
  be noteworthy for fantasy. Am I rushing to pick up?
• 23:32
  You're probably not, but while he's there, it's.
• 23:36
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 23:37
  And then you know what I'm telling you?
• 23:40
  I'm telling you that that was a maybe a bit too ahead of the
• 23:42
  curve. I'm just saying also with one
• 23:45
  thing with Zuccarello is that since he's gone back from
• 23:47
  injury, they've won, at the time of this recording, five games
• 23:50
  and lost one, the Minnesota Wild.
• 23:52
  That's partially because Walstead has been an absolute
• 23:56
  monster and Gustafson has actually been decent, too when
• 23:59
  he's playing. But yeah, I mean, this Minnesota
• 24:02
  Wild team has had like a pretty roller coaster year.
• 24:06
  The one thing that you can expect is that when Zuccarello
• 24:09
  is there, he's going to put up the points like he's always been
• 24:12
  a .8 to one point per game kind of player.
• 24:15
  He's been a player, game player now, like ever since coming back
• 24:18
  from injury, he's been a point per game.
• 24:19
  He's not getting you the shots or like many hits or many
• 24:22
  blocks, but .3 power play points or point per game, like that's
• 24:26
  incredible production. You can just stream off waivers.
• 24:29
  Exactly. Like he's good in his own right,
• 24:31
  playing with one of the best players in the world.
• 24:32
  So the recipes there and he will succeed.
• 24:35
  OK, Alright. Yeah, we have. #4.
• 24:42
  I was like, I was like, is that a transition or is it not a
• 24:44
  transition? OK, alright, we have OHK.
• 24:50
  OK, best first name in the game of the Vancouver Canucks.
• 24:56
  Jake Debrusk, Line 3, Power play 1.
• 25:00
  He can get you 1000 billion shots in one game and that alone
• 25:05
  can almost put you over the edge.
• 25:07
  But thousand billion is a lot. Yeah, maybe, maybe a billion
• 25:10
  thousand, but like seriously, he has these games where he just
• 25:15
  puts up insane seeing shots on goal and sometimes they go in
• 25:18
  really, but sometimes they do. And yeah, his points have been
• 25:23
  really, really good as of late. Over his last seven games, he's
• 25:26
  got 6 points scoring in six of the seven of them.
• 25:30
  So it's not like it all came from one game.
• 25:32
  And he's on a three-game power play points streak, so we like
• 25:37
  the process there and it's looking pretty good for a guy
• 25:40
  that's only 26% owned. Over the last nine games he has
• 25:45
  6 power play goals like 2 is just nuts.
• 25:50
  They he has one assist over the last nine games, everything else
• 25:53
  power play goals. So you're looking at the
• 25:55
  deployment you're like line 3 and we're recommending him like
• 25:59
  what's up with that? This P1 for some reason is, is
• 26:03
  going off for somebody with this level of deployment where he's
• 26:06
  shooting significantly like he's look at the shots over the last
• 26:10
  month, three shots over the last month or the last two weeks,
• 26:12
  2.57. Like that's really crazy numbers
• 26:15
  for a guy you can just pick up off waivers who is clinical on
• 26:18
  the power play, who can score goals, which we know are already
• 26:22
  more valuable in your points leagues and even in your
• 26:24
  category leagues. Yes, golden assists are are
• 26:28
  technically weighed the same, but it's way harder to stream of
• 26:31
  gold than it is to stream and assist.
• 26:32
  So yeah, a guy like this is pretty valuable.
• 26:35
  He is currently 26% owned and he's on a tear right now.
• 26:39
  I could see him potentially being 40% owned next week, but
• 26:43
  because of everybody streaming him for this power play
• 26:45
  production. Yeah, totally.
• 26:47
  He this is this is not a necessarily a good Canucks team,
• 26:52
  but they've they've been scoring.
• 26:53
  They've been scoring. Will have Elias Patterson has
• 26:56
  been awesome and the power play 1 like you said, is clicking.
• 27:00
  So I think it's a really, really good pickup for this week.
• 27:03
  I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like a one week hold and
• 27:06
  then he just falls off. The face?
• 27:07
  No, no, no, definitely not. Wait, definitely not.
• 27:11
  He'll fall off the face of the earth or he's like.
• 27:13
  He's definitely not like a would not be surprised that he's just
• 27:16
  a one week old. Yeah, exactly.
• 27:18
  But it's, you know, we we like saying right, all the Todd so.
• 27:22
  Yeah, I do like writing it while it's hot.
• 27:25
  Cool. All right, next we have the 2nd
• 27:31
  in command to the throne of the Alliteration Kings on the Vegas
• 27:35
  Golden Knights who question mark Braden Bowman.
• 27:39
  Line one, power play one get out of town.
• 27:44
  What an opportunity for this guy. #3 it's Braden.
• 27:49
  Bones and it's really OK, but Bowman is one of those names
• 27:52
  that people were very interested when we saw him get called up.
• 27:56
  We saw him put immediately on P1 or like OK, is this this type
• 27:59
  guy we pick up immediately or do we watch and see what happens if
• 28:02
  you're in a very deeply look, I'm in a league where everybody
• 28:04
  that plays in the NHL roster, he's somehow was available
• 28:07
  because he wasn't in the NHL before I picked him up before
• 28:11
  even seeing one game in your normal leagues like this is not
• 28:14
  the type of player you pick up right away.
• 28:16
  But now it's been a few games and we're seeing he is
• 28:18
  definitely worth picking up. He's got four games this
• 28:21
  upcoming week. He's playing line 1P1 with Jack
• 28:24
  Eichel. The deployment is there.
• 28:26
  That's already the foundation for a good pickup.
• 28:27
  He's playing over 16 minutes a night.
• 28:30
  He's he has two power play points in his first five games.
• 28:33
  He can shoot like there's just nothing that you hate about this
• 28:37
  guy for what you're getting. It means 5% on right now, 5%.
• 28:40
  That's just 55 stars on YouTube, 5%.
• 28:45
  I I'm really interested in what he can do.
• 28:48
  Obviously when we when the Mark Stone comes back, his deployment
• 28:51
  probably gets shifted. He might even get sent down.
• 28:54
  But right now Marston is not coming back.
• 28:56
  This week they have four games. He has Line 1P1 playing with the
• 28:59
  best players on his Vegas team. He's a really interesting
• 29:03
  pickup. I I would love to have him on my
• 29:05
  team this upcoming week. Yeah, this, this has like he's a
• 29:10
  goal scorer. Shouldn't sorry.
• 29:12
  He's a goal scorer, too. Yeah, and there there is like
• 29:16
  there's no real necessarily fantasy, you know relation here
• 29:21
  to to IRL. But when you think about it,
• 29:23
  given this opportunity after not having been drafted yet, he's
• 29:28
  playing for something. He wants to keep playing for
• 29:31
  something. He's not gonna keep the power
• 29:33
  play one with stone there. But if he's getting, he's has
• 29:37
  four points and five games in the NHL this year and it looks
• 29:41
  like could keep that line 1, I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 29:44
  just shuffle it around and keep them there over Barbashev.
• 29:48
  I mean, Stone does come back. Barber shop usually plays left
• 29:51
  wing and then and barbershop wasn't even on P1 before before
• 29:56
  Bowman got brought up. So the fact that they brought
• 29:59
  Bowman up, put them on line 1 and then also put them on the
• 30:02
  power play ahead of ahead of guys that have already been
• 30:04
  there on the team. It just goes to show that what
• 30:06
  they see in this player, what they what they, they like the
• 30:09
  look that he gives them on the power play as well.
• 30:11
  And he's converting. He's getting opportunity and
• 30:13
  converting. He's got three goals and one
• 30:14
  assist in five games. How can you not be interested in
• 30:17
  a guy like this? No, for sure.
• 30:19
  It's it's just fantastic. I think it's a great, great
• 30:22
  stream. Plus the four games, the volume
• 30:24
  is going to be there. We love it.
• 30:26
  OK, take it away. #2. Of the Calgary Flames, second
• 30:34
  player on this list who's on my team?
• 30:36
  Love to see it. Matt Coronado, 16% owned.
• 30:42
  He was pretty high up coming into this season and then he
• 30:46
  kind of fell off the face of the earth because the Flames were
• 30:49
  awful and they're still not a good team.
• 30:51
  That being said, he is shooting. Oh my goodness, is the shots on
• 30:57
  goal. It's 11564433 over that.
• 31:01
  And what in the heck? Really.
• 31:06
  Yeah, exactly. The power play points have been
• 31:09
  amazing .33 over the past week. One point per game.
• 31:12
  I mean, I am so happy having picked him up and it's really
• 31:18
  like this. This is a ride at Wallace Hall
• 31:20
  situation. I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 31:23
  shoots less than 11. On that next game I don't my
• 31:27
  house on that issue is less than did you.
• 31:30
  Wrong. It's 12.
• 31:32
  No. Yeah, but but I actually like,
• 31:36
  you know, this is a good player on a bad team situation because
• 31:40
  he is really like the best offensive player that this team
• 31:45
  has for the future. Kaji is a better player, no
• 31:47
  question. But I think like he's him over
• 31:51
  Huber, Doe, Farabee, Sharon Govich, Zari.
• 31:53
  Like they're gonna keep giving him the opportunity because
• 31:56
  they're far from competing this year.
• 31:57
  I don't expect them to score a lot of goals, but when they do,
• 32:00
  Key can be involved. Yep, I I mean, listen, when a
• 32:04
  guys shooting like this, you have to be interested.
• 32:07
  Even though they don't have four games this week, he could
• 32:10
  outshoot most guys that have four games, which is just to
• 32:13
  think about. Calgary is the type of team that
• 32:16
  you're not really thrilled with the offence, like the offensive
• 32:19
  capabilities of their team. But there's a lone bright spot
• 32:23
  bright spot here and it is Coronado.
• 32:24
  The issue is it's still Calgary and the PowerPoint doesn't
• 32:28
  always click. It's one of the worst in the
• 32:29
  league and they don't really score a lot of goals, but
• 32:34
  doesn't stop them from getting hot here and there.
• 32:36
  And I think right now they're a little hotter.
• 32:37
  They're converting on the power play a little bit more and he's
• 32:40
  the type of guy that is going to be involved in those situations.
• 32:42
  So on a week like this that you need shots, you need points and
• 32:46
  you need exposure to the best players on the team.
• 32:48
  He's the type of guy that you stream.
• 32:50
  Yeah, they have the second least goals for in the NHL, right?
• 32:54
  But over the last 10 games, there are 4-5 and one.
• 32:57
  So it's not as if they're like not doing anything as of late.
• 33:02
  You said they're they're kind of picking up the pace a little bit
• 33:05
  there. Dustin Wolf really carried them
• 33:08
  last year. This is not going to be a team
• 33:09
  that's close to the playoffs. I think the Pacific is extremely
• 33:13
  top heavy that the wealth gap, the wage gap or whatever you
• 33:16
  want to call it there is just ridiculous.
• 33:19
  So yeah, Flames are gonna be the bottom of the Pacific.
• 33:22
  But NHL teams do score goals, and when NHL teams score goals,
• 33:26
  the players on those teams score goals.
• 33:28
  And Matt Coronado is getting decent minutes and is going to
• 33:31
  be a big part of it. That's kind of my thesis there.
• 33:34
  He's got four goals in his last five games.
• 33:36
  Like a guy like this that's already shooting at this level
• 33:39
  and that's currently hot. He's interesting, Yeah.
• 33:43
  You get him on your team. Yes, OK, hat.
• 33:47
  Number one. This was a coincidence.
• 33:51
  Yeah, where? Am I Florida Panthers?
• 33:53
  Are for all those on YouTube you can see what Jake is wearing.
• 33:55
  Yes, I I have a Florida Panther shirt because they were my
• 33:59
  squad. An OG Florida Panther shirt.
• 34:02
  OG it is actually is and. This is the old logo.
• 34:06
  This logo is so cool with the cat.
• 34:09
  Like I can't believe they changed it.
• 34:11
  I don't know why it's actually and even like the colour scheme
• 34:14
  of the old jerseys. Like look at when Luongo played
• 34:17
  on Florida the first time. What a stud even with the pads
• 34:20
  like ah man that that whole setup was just next level.
• 34:24
  Very very oily Yochanan vibes over here.
• 34:27
  But anyway, of the Florida Panthers at #1 line one power
• 34:33
  play 1 Sam Bennett, not very sad under the contract.
• 34:39
  I was so high on him coming into the season, but he has been, I
• 34:43
  love saying this word, apparently usurped by Anton
• 34:47
  Lundell, who has really stepped up big.
• 34:51
  I think they just need to make sure that a Finnish guy is the
• 34:55
  top centre on their team and that's just the way they win.
• 34:59
  So. He's like a mini Barkov right
• 35:02
  now. Lindell is only 36% owned which
• 35:04
  is criminal for what he's been doing the entire season.
• 35:08
  Yes. It's just the the consequences
• 35:11
  of playing in leagues that only start 2 pure centre positions
• 35:14
  because I mean you're gonna draft a lot of pure CS that are
• 35:16
  studs. And Lundell just doesn't have
• 35:17
  the name value to be like held above like a he sure or
• 35:21
  whatever. Even though he's been
• 35:22
  significantly better the entire season.
• 35:23
  And right now you get to benefit from that because you get to
• 35:25
  stream him on this upcoming week with line 1P1 production.
• 35:29
  He's playing all the important minutes for his team.
• 35:32
  He has been averaging basically a point per game the whole
• 35:35
  season, like .8 to point per game depends on the week he's
• 35:38
  shooting. You'll get you close to two
• 35:40
  shots a game, which is not crazy, but in face off win
• 35:42
  leagues he'll get you almost double digits.
• 35:44
  He's also throwing in a hit here and there.
• 35:47
  The power play is clicking for Florida right now.
• 35:49
  Like we saw even, you know, Seth Jones, who was a buy low
• 35:51
  candidate for us in the recent episodes, who's who had two
• 35:55
  power play goals recently. So just goes to show that you
• 35:58
  know, Reinhardt, the tide has lifted on him.
• 36:00
  I feel like the only guy that was producing before was Lundell
• 36:02
  and Marshawn, and now somebody else started to get involved.
• 36:05
  Florida started to be better. They're trying to usurp Boston
• 36:08
  from being the first seed in the in the plastic.
• 36:12
  No, usurped. Sorry, Usurp.
• 36:17
  But yeah, I think Lindell is a fantastic candidate that this is
• 36:20
  the type of player that if you need a pure see, like he's a
• 36:22
  whole like rest of season, like this deployment is not in
• 36:24
  question. He's gonna be surrounded by the
• 36:26
  best talent on this team. As Florida gets better, he will
• 36:29
  get better. And he's already really good.
• 36:32
  So fantastic opportunity to pick him up here.
• 36:35
  Still only 36% owned. Like I said, he's he's a great
• 36:39
  player. Yeah, like look at these two
• 36:42
  stat lines. One assist, one PowerPoint .2
• 36:46
  shots, 14 faceoffs, two hits and a block.
• 36:49
  Even take the faceoffs out of it.
• 36:50
  That's elite. But with the faceoffs, that's
• 36:52
  like, that's like round one vibes, like, you know what I
• 36:57
  mean? Like that's insane production.
• 36:59
  And then the next game, one goal, five shots, 16 faceoffs,
• 37:03
  two hits. Any player that does that at any
• 37:08
  point in the season has something special about him.
• 37:11
  In addition to that, he's on what could be still the best
• 37:14
  team in the NHL. Well, not without Barkov, but
• 37:17
  regardless, like, you know, they're gonna make a playoff
• 37:19
  push and he's gonna just be the best centre on this team, which
• 37:22
  is devastating cuz I was super high on Bennett and have him in
• 37:25
  my main league. But that's neither here nor
• 37:27
  there. Lundell is here to stay.
• 37:30
  I love it for this year and he's just.
• 37:33
  There's no reason he's under 40% owned.
• 37:36
  That's absurd. Like you said.
• 37:38
  So yeah, gets the blood going. OK, let's get into our top five
• 37:46
  bangers for this coming week in Yeah, he's they're all under 40.
• 37:51
  Percent as well, all under 40%. These are guys that we're going
• 37:54
  to be focusing on to get you hits blocks and some Pimms if
• 37:58
  you're leak has Pimms. So let's fancy names in terms of
• 38:02
  the points production, but these are the guys that you can pick
• 38:04
  up that are less than 40% owned that are maybe like classic
• 38:07
  names that you know of that you've heard of already for
• 38:09
  bangers leagues, but they're still widely available and worth
• 38:11
  a look for this upcoming week, yes.
• 38:13
  OK, let's start off at. #5. Brayden McNabb, 1.5 hits, 3.3
• 38:21
  blocks. We don't talk about him that
• 38:23
  much. We don't talk about him that
• 38:25
  much. He's not a mainstay like the
• 38:26
  other guys on this list have been, you know?
• 38:29
  But this is a volume section. When there's volume, there's
• 38:34
  production for the bangers guys, and his blocks have been insane.
• 38:38
  3.3 blocks is wild. He blocks the most in the league
• 38:41
  and he's yeah, he blocked the most in the league.
• 38:43
  Only 23% owned and he'll trip in almost two hits.
• 38:46
  A game like this is up. A guy that if you know your
• 38:48
  opponent and your potential matchup is really good at
• 38:50
  blocks, he's the main pickup for you.
• 38:52
  He plays four games. Best blocker in the league.
• 38:55
  Yeah, it's very one-dimensional, but if you're already good at
• 38:57
  the other categories like this, the type of guy that you stream
• 38:59
  to flip the one category that you need.
• 39:02
  Yeah, and his heads could get better than this.
• 39:03
  They have been better than this so I wouldn't.
• 39:06
  Be surprised. I wouldn't.
• 39:06
  I wouldn't rely on it. He's like the 1.6 to 1.8 slash 2
• 39:10
  type of guy, but that's already very solid for the amount of
• 39:14
  blocks you're getting. Yeah, exactly.
• 39:16
  Wow. Yeah, top blocker in the league
• 39:18
  is is quite something. So the guy who has him in our
• 39:21
  league is is one of the best teams.
• 39:23
  So you can, if you're an elite team in every other way, like
• 39:26
  this is someone you pick up because you just gonna win you
• 39:28
  blogs for this week and you're also gonna win the other
• 39:29
  categories. OK, next. #4.
• 39:35
  Of the Utah Mammoth they have a team name now Jack that make
• 39:41
  Bane. I missed the missed the days
• 39:44
  when they were just the Utah Jack McBain. 1.2 Pimms on the
• 39:48
  season, 1.4 shots, 5 faceoffs which is very nice.
• 39:52
  Very nice and 2.5 minutes. That was a Borat reference for
• 39:55
  those who don't know. You got the mass playing your
• 39:59
  Borat reference. Yeah, so we got we got Jack
• 40:05
  Mcbean. This is a even without the
• 40:08
  faceoffs, it's kind of like a nice little cherry on top.
• 40:11
  This is another four-game week. He'll get you the back
• 40:14
  categories. Not much more to say there. 5%
• 40:17
  own basically a double double and The thing is the pimms here,
• 40:21
  the 1.2 Pimms per game on the season.
• 40:24
  That's Pimms are really rough to stream because usually the guys
• 40:28
  that average a lot of guys that tend to fight a lot or you know,
• 40:31
  get you can you can have a kind of like non reliable numbers.
• 40:34
  When you look at a guy that got like a game misconduct, that's
• 40:36
  not usually like an enforcer type of guy and like, Oh my God,
• 40:38
  he averages like a pinball game. Just cause you got a game is
• 40:41
  called at the very end of the game or something like that.
• 40:43
  But this is the type of guy that you can rely to get Pimms.
• 40:45
  He's 1.4 shots, 5 face off wins, 2.5 hits.
• 40:48
  The hits threshold is high, almost two shots, which is
• 40:51
  great. And the pimms exposure for our
• 40:53
  data centre left wing eligible. Usually you get this production
• 40:56
  from Defenseman, but you can get it from a forward this week and
• 40:58
  Jackman is one of the best names for it.
• 41:01
  Yes, absolutely. OK, next we have.
• 41:05
  Number. Three, I'm really amazed that
• 41:08
  you're not like you're. There's a lot of coffee and
• 41:11
  water. Seriously, though, that's that's
• 41:15
  tough to do when you were gone that episode and I had to, it
• 41:18
  was really like, it was exhausting.
• 41:20
  So. What we say in my spare time, so
• 41:23
  it really helps. Alright, we have of the New
• 41:30
  Jersey Devils, Brendan Dillon, who's been really, really
• 41:34
  reliable for hits and blocks this season. 3.5, No 2.6 hits on
• 41:39
  the season, 1.8 blocks. This is all volume, guys.
• 41:44
  I mean, four games this week, he's going to get you the
• 41:46
  numbers. Four games this week, this is
• 41:48
  the type of guy that you like. I dropped the Romanoff to get me
• 41:50
  over two hits and over 2 blocks. And Romanov has been but and
• 41:57
  yeah, yeah, Donkey autonomous for donkey.
• 41:59
  Yeah, yeah. And now he's hurt so I gotta cut
• 42:02
  him and maybe I'll stream Brendan Dillon, which I know
• 42:04
  he's not available in my league, but yeah, he might be available
• 42:07
  in yours. And if you need a guide that's
• 42:09
  going to give you a lot of hits and a lot of blocks 4 game week.
• 42:12
  This is the type of guy you stream and usually hits and
• 42:16
  blocks production are pretty consistent.
• 42:17
  Like points and shots can go up and down but hit some blocks.
• 42:21
  When the guys are like when is their specialty, they usually
• 42:25
  come through. So Brandon is one of those names
• 42:28
  that I'm always looking at picking up on a four-game week
• 42:30
  when I hit when I need some blocks.
• 42:32
  Yeah, I'm with you there. OK, next. #2.
• 42:37
  This is the fanciest name in the NHL when pronounced elegantly
• 42:41
  and with Josh, loves to do so. Shout out to Josh for this one.
• 42:45
  Two off nights, four games of the Dallas Stars, we have Leanne
• 42:50
  Birchell. I actually can't get over the
• 42:55
  difference between Leanne Michelle and Leon Bissell.
• 42:57
  It's like so. Just in this is how you say
• 42:59
  different. Exactly, but it really like the
• 43:03
  pronunciation just just really makes or breaks it.
• 43:06
  I kind of think of another player in the NHL that that has
• 43:08
  this dichotomy. Is that the word?
• 43:11
  Sure. I knew Josh to be here to check
• 43:14
  my vocabulary anyway. Nevertheless, he's been really,
• 43:18
  really solid all season, .8 Pimms, which is very nice. 3.5
• 43:22
  hits, 1.1 blocks. Yeah, the reason why he's more
• 43:25
  of a, I would say, interesting name now is because this is the
• 43:29
  type of guy that's always been in super 1 dimensional.
• 43:31
  So even in bangers leaks is usually widely available right
• 43:34
  as we speak. He's 18% owned.
• 43:36
  And it was less than that a week and a half ago because ever
• 43:38
  since the Thomas Harley injury, he's been pushed into a
• 43:41
  situation where he's playing top 4 minutes for defensemen.
• 43:43
  So instead of playing, you know, 1415 minutes tonight, he's now
• 43:46
  playing closer to 20 minutes a night.
• 43:48
  And if her defenseman like this that specializes in getting
• 43:51
  hits, not really blocks, but you're on the ice more, you're
• 43:54
  going to block. So we haven't seen the blocks
• 43:56
  take up that much since the injury, but the hits are still
• 43:59
  there and the pins are still there.
• 44:01
  Like he's the type of guy that his Pimms are not necessarily
• 44:04
  from the game misconducts where the fights or whatever.
• 44:06
  He's just undisciplined on the ice because he's still very
• 44:09
  young. So he's getting a lot of minor
• 44:11
  penalties and that's good for your PMS leagues.
• 44:13
  So yeah, I like him a lot. I picked them up in Week 7
• 44:17
  proactively 4 this Week 8 stream because with the the Thomas
• 44:21
  Harley injury and the extra minutes, I'm hoping that his his
• 44:24
  go up and his blocks go up. And I think it's very valuable.
• 44:27
  Rangers leagues. I'm really interested in the
• 44:29
  Leanne Bischel. Yeah, it's, uh, this is not to
• 44:34
  speak to any offensive potential, OK, But it's kind of
• 44:38
  noteworthy that in 2022, Q is a first round pick for them.
• 44:40
  He was pick 818th overall. And that means to me that with
• 44:46
  the opportunity and the defensive injuries that they
• 44:48
  currently have, he's gonna keep the decent minutes.
• 44:52
  I genuinely believe in that because they're, they're still
• 44:55
  trying to get him going. He's only 21 years old and he's
• 44:58
  like an absolute Wrecking Ball out there.
• 45:00
  Shout out to Miley Cyrus and showed up.
• 45:03
  Yeah. I mean, like, if you look at the
• 45:06
  other defensemen on this team, you have Haskin and Lindell, who
• 45:08
  are kind of mainstays. And then, like Kyle Copacabana,
• 45:11
  I'm kidding. I know his capital Bianco, but
• 45:13
  it's kind of funny to pronounce it that way.
• 45:15
  A lot of Slav, Kolyat, Chinook, Alex Petrovic and then Leon
• 45:20
  Beachell. I mean, the other three guys are
• 45:22
  not really a thing in the NHL. So, well, their families
• 45:27
  disagree, but I. I said in the NHL, I mean, we're
• 45:30
  all proud of them. Like good, good job.
• 45:32
  You worked hard, you're there. I'm sure you're making very
• 45:34
  decent money, but you. Know still before fantasy this
• 45:38
  week. They're not relevant at all and
• 45:39
  they suck. Bushell, however, you should
• 45:43
  definitely pick up. Yeah, OK.
• 45:45
  And then at #1 this guy's just, this guy just just gets it done.
• 45:53
  Of the Anaheim Ducks, the captain, the one, the only Radko
• 45:59
  Gudas. And the crowd goes.
• 46:01
  Wild. The crowd does go wild.
• 46:03
  I hear everybody in the YouTube comments going crazy for ADCO do
• 46:06
  this. But I feel good.
• 46:08
  This is not a surprise. That seriously, I mean he's just
• 46:11
  one of those names that and you're in a bangers.
• 46:14
  Can you talk about Gus and he's available in your league just
• 46:17
  like OK, you play in a Mickey Mouse league like what type of
• 46:20
  banger league doesn't have Buddhist rostered?
• 46:22
  He's only 2421% roster as we speak, 4% up from last week.
• 46:26
  He was injured for a significant amount of time and a lot of
• 46:29
  people dropped and didn't have the luxury of holding him.
• 46:31
  But now he's that. He might not be playing 20
• 46:33
  minutes a night anymore, but he doesn't need to play 20 minutes
• 46:36
  tonight to still be super valuable for your fantasy team.
• 46:38
  He's been, yeah, healthy for three games since injury.
• 46:40
  He got four hits, five hits, seven hits, blocks, 312.
• 46:44
  That's an average of 2. So all that to say, this is the
• 46:46
  type of guide that has such a high ceiling for bangers.
• 46:49
  He's still good for pimps because he's a fighter.
• 46:51
  You're not picking him for the shot, but he still averages over
• 46:53
  a shot a game. But the hips ceiling and the
• 46:56
  blocks, he's one of the best guys that have the combo of
• 46:58
  both. And I'm really upset that we let
• 47:02
  Josh pick him up in our league of record.
• 47:05
  Yeah, big time, big time that. And then he leaves us.
• 47:08
  Yeah. Seriously.
• 47:09
  And it's called goal two games ago.
• 47:11
  Like how do we let Josh get away with this?
• 47:13
  No, it's crazy. I mean like any sprinkle of
• 47:16
  offence that you'll get which which is not going to be like
• 47:18
  totally non-existent. Like I have more faith in his
• 47:21
  offence than Leanne Michelle's as an example of meat market
• 47:24
  type. He'll get you .2 or .3 points.
• 47:26
  I'm not. I don't think it's more than
• 47:28
  Michelle, but it's not anything to write home about.
• 47:30
  Yeah, I don't want anybody to get confused here.
• 47:33
  Just saying it's like it could happen because the shots are are
• 47:37
  not like like never a thing. So that's nice.
• 47:41
  But the the hits and the blocks mainly the hits is where it's
• 47:43
  at. He tries to hit like that's what
• 47:45
  he does. And to be honest, there's
• 47:48
  something to be said for a team that's now really, really good,
• 47:53
  which the Anaheim Ducks are. And older guys kind of just like
• 47:57
  falling out of favor and not really being relevant on the
• 48:00
  team. That being said, he is the
• 48:03
  captain when he's on the ice, he's going to do what he's done
• 48:08
  his entire career, which is go out and hit guys and do whatever
• 48:11
  he can to boost his team. He's not gonna become irrelevant
• 48:14
  given that now they're an insane offensive team, which obviously
• 48:18
  could slow down. Nevertheless, it's still good.
• 48:20
  But what I really love is that Gudis has the respect in the
• 48:23
  locker room. He has the just keep doing what
• 48:27
  he's been doing his entire career and it's going to be
• 48:29
  really, really great for bangers leagues.
• 48:31
  There's no banger league that's above 10 teams that he should be
• 48:36
  on free agency. That's what I think.
• 48:39
  So, yeah, he's a great one for this week.
• 48:42
  All right, Captain, technical difficulties over here.
• 48:45
  OK, our top three waiver pickups for this week are Brayden
• 48:52
  Bowman, Matt Coronado and Anton Lindell.
• 48:56
  So pick him up because they'll be super helpful for your.
• 49:00
  Squad two out of three of them have a three-game week, Bowman's
• 49:02
  got a four-game week, but we're confident that all of them will
• 49:05
  pay dividends this week if you picked them up.
• 49:07
  Yes, big time, big time. OK, let's get into our top three
• 49:10
  quantity goalie starts. Just to refresher for everybody,
• 49:14
  these guys are going to get 2 plus starts this coming week and
• 49:17
  they are under 40 owned. Yep.
• 49:21
  I would say just we're ranking them one to three, but they're
• 49:23
  not always, there's not always a separate these guys.
• 49:26
  If you need goalie starts, these are great.
• 49:29
  These are great names. We will cover quality goalies
• 49:33
  after if you need more of a quality touch to your matchup
• 49:36
  but at #3 number. 3. Our tours she loves me, she
• 49:43
  loves me not of the Pittsburgh Penguins who I dropped a lot of
• 49:49
  fab on this week free agency budget and I'm scared because he
• 49:54
  had a big not good game last time he played.
• 49:59
  He just got lit up against Minnesota.
• 50:01
  They lost 50. He let in four goals on ten
• 50:04
  shots. So if you're looking at this
• 50:05
  last game and you're like, why are we recommending him?
• 50:07
  I understand, but he's still the starting goalie for Pittsburgh.
• 50:11
  He's going to two games this upcoming week.
• 50:14
  I he's been solid. All your games like this happen.
• 50:17
  We've seen Bobrovski pooped the bed recently.
• 50:20
  We've seen, you know, I mean, Blackwood hasn't been super
• 50:23
  solid like the the best goalies are not always going to be the
• 50:28
  best performers on a weekly basis.
• 50:29
  Everybody is susceptible to a bad start.
• 50:31
  His just happened to happen last game.
• 50:33
  So. Yeah.
• 50:35
  And these are these are beatable teams that they're playing.
• 50:38
  They can easily beat Buffalo and then they have a Columbus,
• 50:40
  Toronto on a back-to-back. Either one that he gets there, I
• 50:43
  think Pittsburgh could win, but I'd prefer that he plays
• 50:45
  Toronto. Yeah, Pittsburgh type of team
• 50:47
  that like they've been winning a lot of games.
• 50:49
  They're kind of starting to slow down, which we all expected.
• 50:51
  They could win all these three games, they could lose all these
• 50:54
  three games. I would not be shocked.
• 50:55
  But you know what? When you know what she loves,
• 50:56
  he's gonna get 2 starts and he should be solid in all two of
• 51:00
  these starts. Yeah, exactly.
• 51:02
  OK, next. #2. We have knock heaven of the
• 51:07
  Bangor management Fantasy hockey podcast, but Kevin of the
• 51:09
  Vancouver Canucks, Kevin Lankinen that was a very
• 51:11
  necessary intro. Yes it was.
• 51:14
  They got three games this week, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks
• 51:17
  and lack LA Kings. So.
• 51:20
  That's he kept messing up in the show dogs last year with one of
• 51:26
  the things I think it was or was he you was on purpose who did.
• 51:29
  This who was me and we're in the airport too long.
• 51:32
  I was putting airport codes instead of team names.
• 51:35
  But Kevin LinkedIn now the starter for the Vancouver
• 51:38
  Canucks. Yeah.
• 51:39
  And I'm maybe seems scary with what they've been doing, but it
• 51:43
  could easily be a low scoring game.
• 51:44
  And then San Jose and the Kings, like just Lincoln is a solid
• 51:48
  goalie. Vancouver is a little bit hot
• 51:50
  right now. You know he's going to get two
• 51:52
  of these starts. That's kind of what you're
• 51:54
  looking for here. Yeah, I want to be honest, this
• 51:56
  transaction scares me. I prefer Sheilas over Lankin in
• 52:00
  for sure this week based on their laptops.
• 52:01
  And I actually think that they're gonna lose 2 out of
• 52:05
  these three games. I just don't know which.
• 52:06
  That being said, quantity is where it's out here and he's
• 52:09
  going to get the quantity. So that's really the whole point
• 52:13
  of this section. And he is a decent goalie in his
• 52:17
  own right. Like it's not like it's
• 52:18
  impossible that they'll they'll win 2 out of the three.
• 52:21
  I just, I don't really think that they will.
• 52:23
  I think they're gonna go one and two on the week.
• 52:25
  Yep. What about you?
• 52:26
  Do you agree? I mean, yeah, I would.
• 52:28
  I would not bet my house on them winning any specific game here.
• 52:31
  I think they'll win one of these at least.
• 52:33
  Yeah, would it maybe sounds on either one of them.
• 52:35
  Yeah, I think is probably the easiest.
• 52:36
  But they've also been pretty solid recently and they're like
• 52:38
  coming out of games bringing wins.
• 52:40
  It could honestly be like the Kings, depending on who the
• 52:42
  defences are, like the goalie. Sorry.
• 52:45
  But yeah. Anyways, Lee is a good option,
• 52:47
  especially in quantity. And this is more of a long term
• 52:49
  pickup as well because if you're struggling at goalie, like he'll
• 52:52
  be an average goalie, he'll be an average goalie for you, but
• 52:54
  he'll get you starts. Concur with that, and we have
• 52:58
  at. Number one.
• 53:01
  Jake not of the Manger Management Fantasy Hockey
• 53:04
  podcast, but of the New Jersey Devils.
• 53:06
  Jake Allen, What are the? Odds to get back-to-back.
• 53:09
  We had to find a Josh goalie so we could put #3 but I guess
• 53:13
  Archers will have to suffice. We'll call Josh Arthurs on that
• 53:16
  episode. Because they are, Arthur's
• 53:20
  assistance has to change his name to Josh, but maybe Josh
• 53:23
  wants to change his name to Art. Has a nice ring to it.
• 53:26
  I think we. Should do it as consequence for
• 53:29
  missing this episode next time my introduced us and all the
• 53:33
  everyone's gonna get it who's listening to the this episode
• 53:37
  but who Josh will not know what we're talking about.
• 53:40
  I'm gonna say welcome in with Jake Arthurs and Kevin and he's
• 53:44
  gonna be like, what is going on? We just have to pretend that
• 53:47
  that's been his name this entire time.
• 53:49
  OK, cool. Anyway, like a prank from the
• 53:51
  office. Exactly.
• 53:53
  Back to the point here of the New Jersey Devils, Jake Allen,
• 53:56
  they play Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo slash Philly on a
• 53:59
  back-to-back. They can demolish and should
• 54:03
  demolish St. Louis because they suck.
• 54:05
  And I'm sorry because I thought they were going to be good and I
• 54:07
  was wrong. It happens.
• 54:09
  But we're usually right. And just Buffalo, Philly.
• 54:11
  They can also win both of those games.
• 54:14
  Detroit's a tough matchup, but New Jersey still a wagon.
• 54:16
  I know what the hues either they're slowing down, they are
• 54:19
  not going to be as good as they have been all season.
• 54:21
  Nevertheless, I still I still think that this is a decent team
• 54:25
  and if he gets if he gets three of these games like wow.
• 54:29
  That's pretty good. You might be like, wait, what
• 54:31
  happened to Jacob Markstrom? Jacob Markstrom is currently,
• 54:34
  first of all, bad and also second of all, kind of banged
• 54:37
  up. He's healthy enough to back up,
• 54:39
  but not healthy enough to start for some reason.
• 54:41
  And maybe that's just their way of having excuse to bench him
• 54:45
  because he's been awful. And Alan has actually been
• 54:48
  pretty good started. He's been given he's starting
• 54:50
  the last game of week 7 as well. So you know, we're getting the
• 54:54
  opportunity to see what he can do in this role.
• 54:55
  Like does Jake Allen still have it in him to play the volume?
• 54:58
  I think he's younger than you expect as well.
• 55:00
  I feel like I I thought he was closer to 40 years old.
• 55:02
  I think he's like 33 or 35 or something.
• 55:06
  But nonetheless, you're picking up the starter on New Jersey for
• 55:09
  the current moment. He'll get you at least two.
• 55:11
  He can probably get you 3 starts this upcoming week.
• 55:13
  They're all winnable games as well.
• 55:15
  He's this, he's the clear best pickup for goalies this upcoming
• 55:18
  week. I think, like I said before,
• 55:21
  maybe you changed your order with this 123, but this week
• 55:24
  Alan is a priority. Yeah, I agree.
• 55:26
  I mean, he's been super good. His percentages over the past
• 55:29
  few games have been amazing, 958935971, that's just super,
• 55:34
  super elite stuff. And Markstrom has been Donkey,
• 55:37
  honestly, it's just it's been fun.
• 55:40
  Yeah, he's definitely, he's been, Yeah.
• 55:46
  So realistically, I think that they're gonna ride the hot hand
• 55:50
  here because they need to get the wins when Jack Hughes out.
• 55:52
  That's an important element of it.
• 55:54
  So, yeah, I like it a lot. OK, Now quality starts.
• 55:58
  These are goalies that are going to get one good, one good game
• 56:01
  that they have a very high chance of winning.
• 56:04
  And they're also under 40% owned.
• 56:07
  Let's start with. Just before I do the throat
• 56:11
  code, I will, I will just say like these are the games that
• 56:15
  you can never predict the quality of a specific goalie on
• 56:18
  any given day. Like no matter how good the
• 56:20
  matchup is, you never know what can happen.
• 56:21
  But when you're streaming for one start, you want to stream
• 56:24
  for a win. And these are goalies that are
• 56:25
  going to give you a better than not chance at getting you a win
• 56:28
  for your fantasy team. So let's start with number. 3.
• 56:32
  You tell them, nice, we have Carl Lindenbaum, he is playing
• 56:40
  Montreal and San Jose. Montreal, you may be saying, OK,
• 56:45
  well, there's such a good team. Nope, No, they are not new Hook
• 56:48
  being injured is like a real big deal.
• 56:50
  And not to get too into the weeds of the Habs this year, but
• 56:55
  they're they're really injured and banged up right now.
• 56:57
  And you could like Vegas should win for sure.
• 57:01
  And then they're playing San Jose, who's been hot, but
• 57:04
  they're still a young team. Then there will be
• 57:06
  inconsistencies. Vegas is simply a better team
• 57:08
  than them. So I really like it as a quality
• 57:10
  start this week. Yeah, Vegas is going to be
• 57:13
  favored in most of the games they play.
• 57:14
  Limbaugh, listen, it's not the best amazing goalie, but playing
• 57:18
  Montreal, playing San Jose, he can get a win in those games and
• 57:20
  that's why you stream. Yes, I concur.
• 57:24
  Next at. #2. Of the Los Angeles Dodgers
• 57:30
  kidding the Los Angeles Kings, we have.
• 57:32
  Hilarious at AJ. So funny stop.
• 57:36
  I'm taking my hosting duties and I'm running with it.
• 57:38
  And also trying to compensate for forgetting your throat
• 57:40
  coating for a few of those. OK, we have at #2 Anton
• 57:46
  Forsberg, the Kings are playing the Ducks and Canucks on a
• 57:52
  back-to-back. And I'm a poet and I didn't even
• 57:54
  know it. And Ella, Ella is a good team.
• 57:57
  Ella is a very good team. I think their offence has been
• 58:01
  better than I thought they were gonna be this year.
• 58:03
  And I always thought they were gonna be shut down.
• 58:05
  So, you know, when he doesn't play a lot, but when he does,
• 58:08
  because the Kings are good, you can expect some decent stats.
• 58:12
  So if he plays Vancouver, it's AW, Anaheim's A question mark,
• 58:15
  but I think he'll get the easier matchup.
• 58:17
  So if he plays Vancouver, I'm happy with it.
• 58:19
  You're streaming a strong team against a team that's not as
• 58:22
  good as them. It's always a better opportunity
• 58:25
  than not to get a win. I like them.
• 58:27
  Yeah, and of the Pittsburgh Penguins, what may turn into the
• 58:32
  bane of my existence, but I hope he does not because I I really
• 58:36
  want. She loves to be the guy.
• 58:37
  But anyway, we have. Number one.
• 58:41
  Loyal to our fans and tell them good deal.
• 58:45
  You're setting me up for failure here.
• 58:47
  What's happening? I was just funny.
• 58:49
  I just know purpose. I did that on purpose.
• 58:51
  Alright, As Kevin said, number one, you're so much better than
• 58:55
  me. I did.
• 58:55
  I literally don't understand how you do it.
• 58:57
  Sergei Mershon V of the Pittsburgh Penguins, he just
• 59:03
  kinda came out of nowhere and got a shout out when they were
• 59:06
  playing in Europe versus Nashville.
• 59:08
  And she loves has been, but as of late, I still think Sheila is
• 59:13
  going to get the volume. Yeah, I know, but still,
• 59:16
  Marshall did Well. That's more Marshall being good
• 59:19
  than me being discouraged by Sheilas.
• 59:21
  But look, they have a back-to-back.
• 59:23
  She loves gonna get 2 games. Marshall should get one.
• 59:25
  And as we spoke about before, both Columbus and Toronto are
• 59:28
  both edible. Yep.
• 59:30
  Listen, would I be, would I be shocked if Marshall plays two
• 59:33
  games this upcoming week? I would not.
• 59:35
  Just because she loves it falters.
• 59:37
  Said that. She loved it falter recently and
• 59:39
  like opportunity to come in and he played decently well.
• 59:42
  You just gotta shut up before, but it was Nashville.
• 59:44
  So like Nashville is not the best competition either, but
• 59:47
  they have an easier schedule coming up.
• 59:49
  So we'll see. This is this is a situation to
• 59:51
  monitor. Like I know we just recommended
• 59:54
  she loves as a quantity start, but the situation is constantly
• 59:57
  evolving. It's very fluid.
• 59:58
  So monitor will will. Keep you guys updated in the
• 1:00:01
  discourse specifically, but we know for sure Michael is getting
• 1:00:04
  at least one game versus Columbus or Toronto and it's it
• 1:00:08
  should be a a good quality game. Yes, yes.
• 1:00:12
