  podcast. Woo well.
• 0:05
  No. Well, for me, I'm depressed.
• 0:08
  Yeah. One out of amount of the playoff
• 0:10
  race in our main league. RIP Sage.
• 0:13
  I thought this was your. Year I did too and it was such
• 0:16
  an epic comeback like I had the worst injury.
• 0:19
  Look, I was in what, 11th place for most of the year and then I
• 0:23
  had like I went on such a tear. I demolished teams and then I
• 0:28
  mean I don't know if you guys saw, but my opponents week last.
• 0:31
  Week. He had a crazy week like it.
• 0:33
  Was at least that's where he said you hadn't seen goalie
• 0:35
  style and then you lost all of them to him because his was so
• 0:37
  ridiculous. Very sad.
• 0:39
  Yeah, yeah, there's nothing you could do about that.
• 0:42
  I prepared. I did what I could.
• 0:44
  Sometimes that's how it goes, yeah.
• 0:45
  And do the best you can. And now I'm gonna vanish off
• 0:47
  into the distance and I'll let you.
• 0:49
  Guys, what about your other leagues?
• 0:51
  We have. Ours.
• 0:53
  Yeah, true. That's no.
• 0:54
  You have other points. Leagues.
• 0:55
  I have one points league that I won last year because I like
• 0:58
  mortgaged my future will, so there was no chance of that to
• 1:01
  begin with. And then I have another one
• 1:04
  where I had Matthew to Chuck and it was like a super small
• 1:08
  starting lineup, only like 6 or 7 starting players.
• 1:12
  Therefore, I mean like I pretty much had.
• 1:14
  No wild. Six or seven starting.
• 1:15
  Yeah, it's it's a. Deeply boring.
• 1:17
  It's 16 teams, yeah. So it's like a very deep league
• 1:20
  and there's like a lot of starts at decisions, which is kind of
• 1:22
  fun. But yeah, I mean I.
• 1:23
  Prefer. I mean, I hate to lose the lead
• 1:24
  just because it starts at this. Years.
• 1:26
  It's like, I love that our league, if you plan it
• 1:28
  correctly, you never have to bench anyone.
• 1:30
  Yeah, there's nothing worse than seeing a guy on your team pop
• 1:33
  off on your bench. Yeah, it's it becomes a little
• 1:37
  luck based. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:39
  I feel like it's a lot luck. Based may have to bleep this,
• 1:41
  but a lot of fantasy football is like that.
• 1:45
  Don't hate us. Yeah, the worst, but yeah, cool.
• 1:51
  Welcome and everybody to Banger Management, the fantasy Hockey

• 2:15
  Let us begin with our Week 22 choices.
• 2:18
  Does Kevin have a mission? We are recording this from the
• 2:23
  alleyway. Yeah, this is like our first
• 2:27
  losing record in a fortnight. Yeah, not the video game.
• 2:31
  Yeah, I'm talking about the time.
• 2:32
  Swift song. Actually a beggar, yeah.
• 2:39
  Yeah. All right.
• 2:40
  So we had Mackison, Miscavige, one assist on the week.
• 2:44
  That is a loss, even though he did have great shots and hits.
• 2:47
  Yeah, like he's the type this one was we're counting as a loss
• 2:51
  because we have our objective. This is a Windows a loss type of
• 2:54
  thing. But I would have been happy
• 2:55
  streaming him in a Bangers league that week for sure.
• 2:58
  Hits are crazy, yeah. Yeah, you do get rewarded for
• 3:01
  Charlton hits points leagues, but nonetheless, yeah, kind of.
• 3:04
  The fake L. Yeah. .5.
• 3:07
  Like, you know, once in a while we get fake W where a guy only
• 3:10
  gets like the two points. So yeah, we can.
• 3:11
  We can take a fake L once that's true.
• 3:13
  Yeah, then we have Morgan Geeky. Three goals, one assist.
• 3:16
  That is a huge win. Yeah.
• 3:18
  Very nice win. Yeah, he's really coming into
• 3:21
  his own. Yeah, really impressed.
• 3:23
  And then Jason Zucker tries to hit Jason.
• 3:25
  Sucker. Thanks.
• 3:29
  Coming through my fantasy team, yeah.
• 3:31
  Yeah. Wow, not only is he screwing
• 3:34
  over Kevin in fantasy, but he also prevented him from having
• 3:36
  shelter this week. Yeah, he's.
• 3:39
  Laughing. Yeah.
• 3:42
  Laughing, yeah. Jason Zucker single handedly
• 3:45
  evicted. You, yeah.
• 3:46
  If he's listening to this, he can make it up to us by, you
• 3:48
  know, providing an intro. That would be pretty cool, you
• 3:50
  know? That or he can do something this
• 3:53
  week. OK, my fantasy semifinals.
• 3:55
  Which would you rather like? Hi, Jason Zucker, and you're
• 3:58
  listening to Bangor Manager, the Fantasy Hockey Podcast or
• 4:01
  actually come through with you and put you through to the
• 4:03
  finals. Alright, I have my answer that
• 4:05
  I'm supposed to say really want. I'll let you guys keep it up.
• 4:13
  I can't fault him. I would.
• 4:14
  Say the same thing. Now you know what?
• 4:17
  You know what I think this is bigger than.
• 4:21
  Saying something about not saying.
• 4:23
  Something and I'm not. Why not both?
• 4:25
  Yeah. Both.
• 4:27
  I'm about to get rejected this week, yeah.
• 4:29
  Alright, so yeah, that brings our season record to 35 and 16,
• 4:33
  still doubling our losses with wins, which is massive.
• 4:37
  This upcoming week, week 24, there are few teams to avoid.
• 4:40
  Only got 2 games. The championship week, yes.
• 4:43
  Which for most of you, or semis if you're week 25, so obviously
• 4:48
  super important. Very important.
• 4:49
  These teams should be avoided New Jersey, New York Rangers,
• 4:54
  Philadelphia and Toronto. Quick question on this just an
• 4:56
  opinion thing. If you have a player on these
• 4:59
  teams and you're going into week 25, would you like still
• 5:02
  consider dropping them because. Let's say 25 schedules, you
• 5:06
  know. Not like off the top of my head,
• 5:09
  nonetheless like I feel like it's.
• 5:13
  Time. It just depends on the guy,
• 5:14
  right? Like we're talking about.
• 5:16
  The user marner like. That's what I'm saying.
• 5:18
  But I guess if your championship week is obviously Week 24, then
• 5:21
  anything can happen, right? If those guys played their games
• 5:24
  or whatnot, then you gotta make it difficult call.
• 5:26
  I don't need jersey plays on Monday.
• 5:28
  So let's say you have Luke Hughes, who is the popular
• 5:31
  fringe guy. Keep him from Monday, then cut
• 5:33
  him. You can probably get another guy
• 5:34
  to place four games. I'll be honest, like if they
• 5:37
  play on Monday and then play one more time the rest of the week
• 5:39
  and that's your last week of the year, I'm pretty much dropping
• 5:41
  that entire team. Yeah, I'm even dropping like a
• 5:43
  he shirt. I'm even dropping like a teemo
• 5:45
  like. One game?
• 5:46
  Why did you get 4 games that? Yeah, that's fine.
• 5:48
  Yeah. For Week 24, I would even, yeah,
• 5:51
  I would pretty much feel like all these guys, if it's a Monday
• 5:54
  game or even a Tuesday game, like after they play one of the
• 5:57
  two games. If it's early in the.
• 5:58
  Week if you could get four games instead of one or three games
• 6:01
  instead of 1, I still think that's like a pretty worthwhile
• 6:03
  trade off if you need to make. Do if you have a week 25 then it
• 6:07
  really depends how kind of screwed you are in that matchup.
• 6:10
  Because we also don't even know who's gonna be healthy.
• 6:12
  Played like the reason why championship for 24, because we
• 6:15
  25 people get scratched. People get, you know, benched
• 6:17
  for, you know, health reasons and whatever.
• 6:19
  Yeah, So we can be like, Oh yeah, like, you know, don't cut
• 6:22
  meth use or whatever. And then he's just the
• 6:24
  healthiest scratch anyways, right?
• 6:25
  So I really don't like week 20. Five.
• 6:26
  Yeah, that's why it's good. To that's why we we had it in
• 6:29
  our league though, like the first year I was in the league
• 6:30
  and then we scrapped it because all the best guys were getting
• 6:33
  scratched and. If you're in a league that has a
• 6:35
  Week 25 championship, like really talk to your commissioner
• 6:38
  and see if you can get that change for next year.
• 6:40
  Because the last fantasy week of this reason is just, it's like a
• 6:44
  week and a half of just pure kind of like luck.
• 6:46
  If you like exactly. Whoever's team gets the least
• 6:48
  scratch players. Yeah.
• 6:50
  That's exactly it. Yeah.
• 6:51
  So, yeah, some decently droppable guys on these teams.
• 6:54
  You got Hues, as you mentioned, on New Jersey, pretty much the
• 6:57
  entire Philly team, anybody that you've rostered to this point,
• 7:00
  even connecting Tippit, Michkov and then Toronto, you got
• 7:04
  Matthew Naas. I would also like, I mean, I
• 7:07
  don't know if Morgan Riley is really like.
• 7:08
  Stuck. He should not be on your office
• 7:10
  anymore. It's been.
• 7:10
  Awhile I think actually like guys who.
• 7:13
  Are good. I hear you.
• 7:15
  I mean, Riley still like, what is he like 80 something percent?
• 7:17
  Yeah, he's very high. Just sunk cost fallacy, like
• 7:19
  people drafted him expecting something and like the second he
• 7:22
  got kind of permanently bumped off that power play, one unit
• 7:25
  like that should have been the last straw after a horrible
• 7:27
  year, you know? But people kept holding on.
• 7:30
  For whatever reason you're holding them and I guess would
• 7:33
  this apply to the goalies too? Would you?
• 7:35
  Say so for Toronto I would probably drop either of the
• 7:38
  goalies the tough because they split starts right?
• 7:41
  So it's not even like the one you're holding is going to get 2
• 7:43
  starts, which is just a normal early week.
• 7:44
  He's getting one start. Walt could get both.
• 7:47
  That's true. Yeah.
• 7:48
  So I mean, we'll we'll see because a week ago I would have
• 7:52
  said Walls getting pretty much all step back-to-back, but then
• 7:55
  while at a bad game and then they gave scholars.
• 7:56
  Now Stolarz has had to start and he's gonna get 2 starts this
• 7:59
  week, maybe three if Wall has another bad game.
• 8:01
  So it's really kind of like fluid the situation.
• 8:04
  If either of those goalies seems like the guy who's gonna get two
• 8:06
  games, then hold him. If you guys only gonna get one
• 8:09
  and you know it's the early one, hold him for that and then drop
• 8:11
  him. If he's only going to get one
• 8:13
  and you don't know which one it is, then depending on where you
• 8:15
  are, I would feel comfortable dropping him.
• 8:17
  Yeah. OK, so a bunch of teams playing
• 8:20
  two off night games and we're gonna start with the players
• 8:23
  that you should pick up for this week.
• 8:24
  Yep. So we'll start with our shots
• 8:26
  points and power play points, guys.
• 8:27
  Talk about some guys 30 to 40% owned.
• 8:30
  So you've got Marco Rossi, Ivan Barbashev, Ryan Denado.
• 8:34
  Don't Call My Name Tyler to Foley, Ryan O'Reilly and Jake
• 8:39
  Debrusk. Yes, so.
• 8:42
  Talking about some short points and OK.
• 8:44
  Yeah, schedule wise, you have like a lot of good options here.
• 8:48
  Yep, having them play four games.
• 8:49
  Yeah, and Rossi and O'Reilly do have the two off nights, so
• 8:53
  that's great. Ryan Donato's just been so solid
• 8:56
  as of. Late.
• 8:57
  I will say that it seems that Eric Sinek and Kaprizov are
• 9:00
  skating towards the end of this week.
• 9:02
  I wouldn't be surprised to see them mid to late next week,
• 9:06
  which in my opinion, which is gonna bump Russia power play
• 9:08
  one. Rossi already hasn't been doing
• 9:10
  that great. Yeah deployment.
• 9:11
  So I'd be a bit wary of that pickup.
• 9:14
  I like Barbershop a lot. He's not gonna get you power
• 9:16
  play points because he's on the second power play unit, but
• 9:18
  getting to play with like the GOAT Jack is.
• 9:21
  Really do start sitting players though like.
• 9:23
  Maybe it doesn't usually happen week 24 though.
• 9:26
  OK, no, it's actually they're still in a race for the top of
• 9:28
  their division. They're not like it sitting
• 9:30
  pretty yet, so it's. 25, usually between five to seven games, I
• 9:35
  think for a lot of teams left. So that's still a decent version
• 9:38
  of like regular season for people to bench.
• 9:40
  Yeah like usually get bench for like 3-4 games.
• 9:42
  I think yeah, exactly. So you don't get benched like.
• 9:44
  Hopefully crossing my fingers. Unless you're like.
• 9:47
  Teams already out of the playoffs, we got mathematically
• 9:48
  eliminated or something? Yeah, or if you're just so far
• 9:51
  ahead, if it wasn't for Ovis, like Chase for the.
• 9:54
  Record. He'd be benched right now
• 9:56
  because he's old and they're so far ahead that like there's no
• 9:59
  reason for them to play him. So, yeah.
• 10:01
  So I don't think that's a concern with Barbashev.
• 10:03
  And if they could find their line one chemistry that earlier
• 10:05
  this year with Michael and Stone, so then that could be
• 10:08
  really good. And then O'Reilly, they have a
• 10:10
  really good schedule. Nashville sucks, but you know,
• 10:13
  someone's got a score on that team and he's lying on power.
• 10:15
  Play one. So he's not really getting you
• 10:16
  any points though. He he's like he has four games
• 10:19
  and he has a deployment. So you're kind of interested,
• 10:21
  but I feel like I'd lean more towards, I feel like I still
• 10:26
  lean more towards Rossi, even though he's been not great
• 10:29
  either. OK.
• 10:31
  This is like o'reilly's got like one point in this last two
• 10:33
  weeks, yeah. Because also of this group, who
• 10:35
  would be your top choice? That's what I'm saying I feel
• 10:38
  like. And even with the three games, I
• 10:40
  just like Donato. I, I feel like the brush.
• 10:43
  We didn't really talk about Norton, Foley May.
• 10:45
  Denado like. Those would not.
• 10:46
  Those would be the bottom of my list, but I just like to know.
• 10:49
  I don't know. I feel like he's just been doing
• 10:50
  so. Well, yeah, I like Barber Chef
• 10:53
  too, but he's not gonna get properly points.
• 10:55
  Yeah, I like to Foley for his shots.
• 10:57
  His shots are really high. Yes, play with Macklin.
• 11:01
  Line one, power play one. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:02
  I I agree with Jake, I think Donato or Toffoli, I'd bank more
• 11:07
  of them getting points. Like I think you get four games
• 11:09
  zero points, whereas 4 can get two points in three games, you
• 11:11
  know so. OK.
• 11:14
  That's our 30 to 40% guys that we've got some guys 10 to 30%
• 11:17
  owned. Got Adam Fantilli, Jared
• 11:20
  Spurgeon, Mason Marchment, Jake Neighbors so.
• 11:24
  I think. I think Fantilli lost a lot of
• 11:27
  value this last a week once a Monaghan came back.
• 11:30
  So I'm a lot less. I mean, until this week, we were
• 11:33
  pumping Fantilli's tires like we were like, how is this guy not
• 11:35
  more owned? And I think stand by.
• 11:37
  It Yeah. Yeah, he should have.
• 11:39
  Been, but at this point, like he's lost the deployment, and
• 11:41
  rightfully so. Monahan's the guy, so.
• 11:44
  I think Jackson Lacombe over him and dynasty now.
• 11:48
  Yeah, so not as enthused about Fantilli as usual.
• 11:52
  A joke of this Of this group of four, I think Neighbors is my
• 11:55
  favorite, even though the only one who doesn't have four games
• 11:57
  next week, Saint Louis has been like an absolute wagon lately.
• 12:01
  He shoots a lot. And he hits.
• 12:02
  Yeah. Exactly, I know this is just for
• 12:04
  shots points, partly points, but the hits obviously are usually
• 12:08
  counted for even in points leagues too.
• 12:09
  So he's nice. I think my second pair is March
• 12:12
  Mendo. He's like been so up and down
• 12:15
  where like he'll get you zeros, but he'll get you a really good.
• 12:17
  Game that's it's tough because he's so inconsistent.
• 12:19
  I mean he has a four-game week and so and too off night.
• 12:22
  So I mean, even if you put up two games as heroes, then two of
• 12:24
  his like really good games, it kind of balances out exactly a
• 12:26
  week. So yeah, I like marching as
• 12:28
  well. Yeah, he may be my favorite
• 12:30
  actually. But no neighbors.
• 12:31
  I don't know. They're close.
• 12:33
  Yeah, it's tough to have the same amount of games.
• 12:35
  I would say easily Neighbors. I think the extra game makes it
• 12:37
  closer. I could see either especially.
• 12:41
  Also I saw that Sagan is like skating a bit and like it's
• 12:45
  possible he comes back. I think it's unlikely, but I
• 12:48
  mean he's definitely coming back before the end of the regular
• 12:50
  season. I don't know if it's going to be
• 12:51
  applicable to fantasy, but. Yeah.
• 12:53
  Why? Yeah, why?
• 12:55
  They probably want to give him a couple reps in before.
• 12:57
  There's. Not coming in like they can
• 12:59
  afford. Yeah, because he's not coming
• 13:01
  back until eventually they can't have both Austin and Say can
• 13:04
  come back, but because he's out until at least the first round,
• 13:08
  they can bring Sagan back. That's just something to keep in
• 13:10
  mind because if by some miracles thing does come back, that line
• 13:13
  of marchment, Sagan and Duchene was insane to start the season.
• 13:16
  Yeah. Alright, next we've got Mason
• 13:20
  Mctavish, Kent Johnson, Jason Zucker and William Ecklund.
• 13:24
  Who? These guys make me rejoice.
• 13:25
  Oh my God. I mean, I love me some Jason
• 13:29
  Zucker, even though letting me down.
• 13:30
  I'm trying to hit him up so he can come through.
• 13:31
  For me, yeah. This is a sick group.
• 13:34
  As much as I love Eckland and Mctavish Loki, The funny thing
• 13:40
  is that because he's my least favorite player in general here
• 13:44
  would be. But I would want him for this
• 13:46
  week as Ken Johnson because he's got the four games.
• 13:48
  So that's kind of why I would choose him.
• 13:51
  But yeah, I mean, all the other guys are sick.
• 13:53
  I think we're talking like pure points.
• 13:54
  I like Johnson as probably him and Eckland as my top 2.
• 13:58
  Because they're gonna get you the volume and the reason
• 14:00
  Johnson may even have an edge. Is because your game exactly and
• 14:03
  Monaghan came back but Johnson still power play won yeah so
• 14:07
  that just they're probably just got a lot better.
• 14:09
  They have right now they're running they bumped for Rankov
• 14:11
  off for Jenner. Monaghan came back and bumped
• 14:14
  fan Tilly. So it's a it's a good power play
• 14:16
  if they can figure it out. You know they've been kind of
• 14:18
  like slumping lately. But but with their guys coming
• 14:20
  back. I like Ken Johnson 4 game week
• 14:22
  for pure points. Zucker is my least favorite just
• 14:24
  because he's now playing line 3, so it's 5 to 5 minutes kind of
• 14:27
  really suck. Yeah, he's telling people 1
• 14:28
  though, which is where he has honestly a lot of his value
• 14:30
  because he's he's a killer on the power play.
• 14:32
  But if he's not playing like top 6 minutes, he'll go from like,
• 14:36
  you know, 18 minutes of ice time down to 12.
• 14:38
  So it's really, honestly, it's really sucks for his value.
• 14:42
  Yeah. So if you're not, if he's not on
• 14:43
  the roster, I wouldn't really pick him up unless you see him
• 14:45
  back in the top 6. But I like these other guys too.
• 14:48
  Yeah, next we've got Kyle Palmieri, Will Smith, The Fresh
• 14:54
  Prince, Ryan Hartman, Mackie Samutsevich and Morgan Geeky.
• 14:59
  Geeky is the guy here. I think four games he's like
• 15:02
  been really solid. Even outside of points leagues
• 15:05
  for Bangers league specifically, he's been a beast.
• 15:07
  I like him a lot. I mean Simon Scavenge too, like
• 15:09
  you know, playing in that top six, he's been a monster.
• 15:12
  He's been a revelation honestly, end of season fantasy wise in
• 15:15
  terms of being like a double double.
• 15:17
  So like two shots 2. Hits.
• 15:18
  He's been an absolute monster. My only concern with Sammy
• 15:20
  Scavenge is the fact that Marshall might be back this week
• 15:23
  and we don't know who's gonna get bumped off power play one.
• 15:25
  If anyone, um, it's either going to be Samus Kevich or Bennett or
• 15:29
  they'll just keep Marshall off it.
• 15:30
  But I mean, how do you make a trade like that and then not put
• 15:32
  him on power play 1, you know, so, but really he's impressed.
• 15:35
  Yeah, they might ease him into it.
• 15:36
  And also we've seen Bennett on power play too for like most of
• 15:40
  pretty much all of last season and a lot of this season.
• 15:42
  So I wouldn't be surprised if they really like Mackie.
• 15:44
  A lot of coaches for some reason, like having a kind of
• 15:47
  like smaller name with four other big names on the power
• 15:50
  play. I don't know why, but they do.
• 15:51
  So. So it's not possible to say he's
• 15:53
  gonna keep his spot, but it's kind of risky for your finals
• 15:56
  week. The nice thing is that if
• 15:57
  Marshawn comes back on Friday like he's he might, yeah.
• 16:01
  Then you should know ahead of time if Macy's still going to be
• 16:03
  on play one or not. That's true, yeah.
• 16:06
  Will Smith's been decent. He's great for shots
• 16:09
  specifically, like he's really has a high shot volume.
• 16:12
  And they finally combines that line of I think Smith, Ecklund
• 16:17
  and Celebrity are playing line 1 now and they're all on power
• 16:19
  play 1. So I mean, he's going to get
• 16:22
  points and he's going to get shots, which is great.
• 16:24
  Yeah, but only three games but. Yeah, but that's why I mean geek
• 16:28
  is probably the best choice. Here, yeah, he's definitely my
• 16:31
  top choice. And then Samutsevich, if he
• 16:32
  maintains power Play 1 is a close second.
• 16:34
  Yep. Then I'd put Paul Mary at the
• 16:38
  bottom I think. Palmeri over Hartman.
• 16:41
  But The thing is, Harman has an extra game, so that's why I'm.
• 16:43
  Like, yeah, right. I think that's the tiebreaker
• 16:45
  for me. I'm not thrilled about either of
• 16:47
  those guys, even though both those guys could be like, we
• 16:50
  could come back next week and be like, these guys have the best
• 16:52
  weeks. Yeah, these guys.
• 16:53
  So it's tough, but consistency makes me, you know, favored the
• 16:57
  other names. Like, these are all guys who
• 16:59
  could put up a really good game but aren't gonna do it.
• 17:01
  On exactly in the 1030 range. I like all these guys a lot.
• 17:05
  I feel this is probably the strongest group of players that
• 17:06
  we've spoken about in this, in this range of.
• 17:08
  Look, if I could just lock in like going into next week, grab
• 17:10
  a geeky, grab a sandwich with two of my three ads for the
• 17:13
  week, I would do that easily. Sunday night, done.
• 17:15
  I'm super happy with both those. Exactly.
• 17:18
  Yeah. All right.
• 17:19
  And then under 10%, we've got a few guys.
• 17:21
  We've got Matt score Anado. I dropped them.
• 17:25
  Yeah, you dropped him right as he started popping off.
• 17:29
  You got Ryan McLeod, the shorthanded.
• 17:31
  King. I picked him up.
• 17:32
  Yeah, he got Marco, Casper, the Friendly Ghost, and the Bantum
• 17:38
  left Shanov. OK, so I mean, clearly the worst
• 17:41
  one here is lotion off. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:43
  I feel like you're also like fun nicknames for the others scoring
• 17:49
  out. What did you say from McLeod?
• 17:50
  'S short handed king. Yeah, there we go for the Tomic
• 17:54
  Bomb work. Because he's going to bomb your
• 17:58
  weed. OK, so we want to avoid our.
• 18:03
  Yeah, it seems. If you need defence, that's on
• 18:05
  P1. Like he's, Yeah, one of the few
• 18:07
  names that are widely available. Yeah, I was more interested in
• 18:10
  him when he was more of a like less known commodity.
• 18:13
  It was like, oh, what's he gonna do?
• 18:14
  You know, sometimes you guys come in and just have a crazy
• 18:16
  like 2 weeks and they just when. Yeah, exactly.
• 18:18
  Now he's been around for a bit longer, hasn't really done much
• 18:20
  with the opportunity, so I'm not dying to pick him up.
• 18:22
  But if you need a defenseman who could chip in points, then he's
• 18:25
  a solid option. He plays on off nights, so yeah.
• 18:27
  I like Coronado the most. Tornadoes.
• 18:29
  Four games. Four games he's been on the
• 18:31
  killer tear right now. Yeah, logged into power play
• 18:33
  one. Yeah.
• 18:34
  And the Flames are fighting for their lives.
• 18:36
  And Jake, you love those teams that are there like fighting for
• 18:38
  their playoff hopes, so. Good.
• 18:39
  He's like, really? Really motivation to.
• 18:41
  Succeed. Exactly.
• 18:43
  Yep, all. Right.
• 18:44
  And then McCloud just randomly playing like a beast.
• 18:49
  Well, my only thing with him is the fact that people are coming
• 18:51
  back from injury. Yeah.
• 18:52
  So Kulik come came back. Yeah.
• 18:54
  And I don't think Norris is coming back until.
• 18:56
  Like the end of season. So that's not a worry, but but
• 18:59
  they're getting a few guys back so we'll see how that affects.
• 19:01
  Like he got bumped off Power Play 1 already but he still
• 19:04
  putting up points so he's solid. Yeah, he will look into some
• 19:08
  assists here and there. The thing is he's getting
• 19:10
  minutes. If you're in a face off league,
• 19:11
  he's huge, honestly, because he's really good at face off and
• 19:13
  he's getting shorthand shortly. Well, he.
• 19:15
  Got two last week. So if you have a category that's
• 19:17
  short handed points or you just get a ton of points.
• 19:20
  I really want to see them, yeah. And then our reputation stakers
• 19:24
  to see if Kevin will have get back his house next week.
• 19:27
  The best 3 streamers on the week?
• 19:28
  Yeah, we're recommending. We've got Morgan Geekie.
• 19:31
  I think we're all very excited about that one.
• 19:33
  Yeah, yeah. Matt, score Anado.
• 19:35
  And love channel, OK. And then Kent Johnson.
• 19:40
  Those are our top three. I'll give a special shout out to
• 19:43
  Samutsevich. Yeah, if he maintains power play
• 19:45
  one, I really, really like him. Yeah, probably a lot of ahead of
• 19:48
  Ken Johnson. Johnson If we were certainly,
• 19:51
  Yeah. All right.
• 19:52
  And then let's move on to some bangers.
• 19:54
  Some bangers and mash. We've got a lot of the classic
• 19:59
  names. But we got Kiefer Sherwood, you
• 20:02
  know, he just beat the record for most hits in a season since
• 20:05
  they started counting that stat. Wow.
• 20:07
  Yeah. Was like what, 20 years ago or
• 20:08
  something? Yeah, it's been a while.
• 20:09
  Yeah. And someone beat it last year.
• 20:12
  Do you know who beat the record last year?
• 20:13
  Jeremy Lauzon. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:15
  The guy who won you the league single handedly.
• 20:18
  So yeah, no, it's pretty crazy. He's averaging like six hits a
• 20:21
  game. I'm playing against him this
• 20:22
  week, four games so and I'm somehow trying to win with hits.
• 20:25
  Should have just punted the category, but I have a solid
• 20:28
  hits team, so we'll see. But yeah, so we got Keeper
• 20:30
  Sherwood, who will not be available in your Bangor.
• 20:32
  But you know, if he is picking up Jacob Trouba, always saw it
• 20:36
  for it's in blocks. Elias Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov,
• 20:39
  Alexander Romanov. Zadora was kind of new.
• 20:41
  Here, Yeah, so essentially like we've got some of our regular
• 20:44
  names and then I removed any 2 game team teams and I threw in
• 20:48
  some 4 game teams. So there you go, Sidorov has.
• 20:51
  Four from Sims 2. That's it.
• 20:52
  He's a Pimms guy. He's getting shots.
• 20:54
  He's like hitting, blocking a bit, but he's mainly like a
• 20:56
  Pimms hits guy. And the four games, you know,
• 20:59
  like we always say, like four games is most important for
• 21:01
  Bangor cats because those are most consistent.
• 21:03
  Some other quantity. Yeah, exactly.
• 21:05
  Lindholm also is just a classic, you know, more of a faceoff wins
• 21:08
  guy, but still on power play 1, so he could throw in some some
• 21:11
  points. Then we've got Brayden Schenn,
• 21:14
  Boone Jenner, Jake Middleton, Matthew Olivier.
• 21:18
  I think Boone Jenner named to to note here because, you know, he
• 21:21
  just came back from injury. He's hitting like all the
• 21:23
  categories, shots, hits, blocks and face off wins endpoints,
• 21:26
  yeah, and and points to. So that's very valuable,
• 21:28
  honestly. That's another sad one.
• 21:30
  Yeah, if you're in a bangers league, obviously really looked
• 21:32
  to pick him up. But these other names,
• 21:34
  defenseman, I mean, Middleton is really great for blocks.
• 21:36
  It's been all year. Yeah, Matthew reviews like
• 21:38
  arguably the best, you know, banger guy this year.
• 21:41
  Yeah. I mean, it's not named Kiefer
• 21:42
  Sherwood. Yeah, exactly.
• 21:43
  Also Brayden Schenn, just the Saint Louis Blues.
• 21:46
  I would be very interested in grabbing anyone on the Blues
• 21:49
  who's relevant because they've been a crazy tear.
• 21:50
  They're the best team since the Four Nations break.
• 21:52
  If if your league doesn't have blocks.
• 21:54
  I like him better than Jenner. Yeah.
• 21:57
  I think he gets more points in general.
• 21:59
  I think it's more points and more.
• 22:00
  Hits better better at his. Better off face off wins.
• 22:02
  Look at around the same amount of shots.
• 22:04
  Yeah, I guess the blocks is the difference.
• 22:06
  And shorties. Obviously Jenner has the
• 22:07
  advantage, but Anna has the extra game.
• 22:09
  So that's the thing. So obviously you'll take General
• 22:11
  over 10, but I like all those guys a lot.
• 22:13
  And then lastly, we've got Luke Shen, Martin Pospisil, Ross
• 22:17
  Colton and Ridley Greg. Ross Colton making them back to
• 22:20
  the list out of nowhere. Remember when you were just like
• 22:21
  I can't drop cold and he's going to be was so good.
• 22:25
  Injured like I think that would have the pick up of the year
• 22:28
  that have been the Marchenko. Of this no, because then he
• 22:29
  would have still got replaced by licking in and no true skin.
• 22:34
  He was playing. There's no.
• 22:35
  Way he would have kept it up like that the whole time.
• 22:37
  Though I mean, who knows, but he was.
• 22:38
  Playing like he was, he was like 2.
• 22:41
  Shots three hits and like over a point per game.
• 22:43
  I know it was like honestly, like three shots, 32 was like a
• 22:46
  triple, triple. That's crazy for the days yeah
• 22:48
  and then I double way too long because just like you know, like
• 22:51
  someone does so well for you and then you're trying to relive the
• 22:54
  glory days together. But yeah, no, but randomly at
• 22:56
  like .92 points over the last month, he's shooting and hitting
• 22:59
  again. He hasn't gotten better
• 23:00
  deployment. He's just doing well with the
• 23:02
  deployment he has. So he's got four games,
• 23:04
  including off nights, so I don't mind him as a as a pickup for
• 23:08
  bangers that can chip in some points, Yeah.
• 23:10
  I like him more than possible still and Ridley Grieg.
• 23:13
  Even though both of them also have four games.
• 23:14
  But yeah, they all have four games.
• 23:16
  He definitely has the most points.
• 23:17
  Outside of the three and he still does better category
• 23:19
  coverage overall. Yeah, Greg, I'll give him Pimms.
• 23:22
  That's yeah, I think he's good at.
• 23:23
  Himss Shortest. Yeah.
• 23:26
  And then Possible is probably the best pure hitter of those in
• 23:30
  terms of defensemen. Obviously Luke Shen has been
• 23:31
  insane since getting on Winnipeg.
• 23:33
  Like, he was already a pure, like, crazy hits guy on
• 23:37
  Nashville, but he really stepped it up on Winnipeg is what
• 23:40
  happens when you have actually have something to play for, you
• 23:42
  know? Yeah.
• 23:43
  I mean, it must be depressing in that Predators locker room, you
• 23:45
  know, like. I wonder how many guys want out?
• 23:47
  Such high hopes, yeah. Like it was.
• 23:50
  Heartbreaking gear to draft any Predators player.
• 23:52
  Yeah, really brutal. Well, Forsberg really did come
• 23:55
  through. In the end if you get him season
• 23:56
  overall you know he was garbage for like 3 months, had an insane
• 24:02
  like month and a half and then was garbage again for a month.
• 24:05
  You know, so like if you flipped him and that one month and 1/2.
• 24:08
  Or something. He was everybody's like, buy low
• 24:10
  league. Winner type of yeah, yeah.
• 24:13
  So those are our bangers and we can move on to some goalie
• 24:16
  streamers with you. Here are three guys will get you
• 24:18
  at least two starts. So you got some of the regular
• 24:20
  names, we've got MERS, Lykins and Jerry.
• 24:22
  But one interesting one here actually that I really like is
• 24:25
  Vitek Vanecek because Florida has two back to backs next week.
• 24:29
  So it doesn't matter that he's not the starter, he's getting
• 24:31
  too as many starts as Bobrovsky and those games are.
• 24:34
  You've got a Montreal, Toronto back-to-back and an Ottawa,
• 24:36
  Detroit back-to-back. And they really want to.
• 24:38
  Win. I would assume they're gonna
• 24:39
  give back the easier starts. So what he's gonna get?
• 24:42
  Montreal, Detroit. Montreal's not doing great
• 24:45
  lately, and Detroit's definitely not doing great lately.
• 24:48
  So yeah, I like that A. Lot, I mean the only in the
• 24:50
  scary here is Toronto I think. Yeah, even Ottawa has been on a
• 24:53
  bit of a skid. So like.
• 24:54
  And they could they could beat any of the.
• 24:56
  Teams 100% that's also Florida like one of the.
• 24:58
  Best. That's advantage.
• 24:59
  Has been good since. The trade and they still want to
• 25:01
  get first place that's huge they're.
• 25:03
  Still very much playing for something.
• 25:04
  He's my favorite because yes, all the things that we just
• 25:09
  said, they're playing for something that's not like they
• 25:11
  can just chill. They're playing teams that they
• 25:13
  can beat because they're so good, and he's probably gonna
• 25:15
  get the easiest. Games and he's on a great team.
• 25:17
  Like looking at it, there's zero chance that he's getting
• 25:20
  Toronto. No, because that is such a
• 25:21
  massive game. They're.
• 25:23
  Playing swings whoever finishes higher than the other in the.
• 25:25
  Playoffs so he's definitely getting the Montreal of that
• 25:27
  back-to-back. Yeah, and that's the important
• 25:29
  that exactly auto in Detroit, both of them are not doing too
• 25:32
  great. And so I'm happy with either of
• 25:33
  those matchups. Probably gets Montreal, Ottawa I
• 25:35
  think if you look at how I guess.
• 25:36
  These are worth back. For yeah, exactly.
• 25:38
  So I love that. I think that's definitely the
• 25:41
  best multiple start stream you're gonna get.
• 25:43
  And then for quality starts, you've got Scott Wedgewood in
• 25:46
  Colorado. He's either.
• 25:46
  Did we talk about Tristan Jarry? OHS sorry, was it Jerry?
• 25:51
  And now we can move on. I jumped in Riley, Kansas, Jerry
• 25:54
  as our our usual suspects. Although I just wanted to say,
• 25:57
  like, you know, we've been talking about Jerry being like
• 25:59
  one of the better pickups this year, but we've also shared our,
• 26:02
  we also shared our hesitations with, you know, that one game
• 26:04
  that can blow it up. And it happened last night.
• 26:06
  I think so, yeah. Yeah, well, let in four goals on
• 26:09
  like 4. Goals on like seven shots if you
• 26:12
  pick them up to play in your semi finals week 20 three you
• 26:14
  probably probably got cooked to be honest, which is really
• 26:17
  unfortunate. Thing with guys like this is
• 26:19
  like they're ticking time bombs. You know?
• 26:20
  They're you like, they play couple games.
• 26:22
  They put up good stats. You toss them on your watch
• 26:24
  list, you know, they keep putting up good stats.
• 26:26
  You're like, this doesn't make sense.
• 26:27
  But they're the stat. The stats don't lie.
• 26:29
  You know, you finally pull the trigger and pick him up, and
• 26:31
  then he lets four goals in seven shots in your seasons over.
• 26:33
  Yeah, exactly. And that's why I usually avoid
• 26:35
  those ones because like the reward isn't usually worth the
• 26:37
  risk. So, but we all agree about a
• 26:38
  check would be. The number one magic #1 Meekins
• 26:40
  output #2 because. We just had the chance.
• 26:43
  Ned plays the quote UN quote starter reps finishing the
• 26:46
  season. He had a really good Game 2.
• 26:48
  Games, yeah. Yeah, honestly, amazing.
• 26:50
  I'd still expect Jerry to get two of the three starts next
• 26:52
  week. One of them is a back-to-back,
• 26:53
  so one guaranteed for him and one against him.
• 26:55
  And then I expect him to get two of the three.
• 26:57
  But yeah, he's definitely my least favorite of the three.
• 27:00
  Yeah. So just pay attention to the
• 27:02
  rotations and how they're going before you make that pickup.
• 27:06
  And then for quality starts, you've got Scott Wedgewood.
• 27:08
  He's either going to get Chicago or Columbus.
• 27:10
  Yeah, both are super easy matchups.
• 27:12
  Yep. Columbus is not the team they
• 27:13
  were two weeks ago. No, it's really, it sucks, you
• 27:17
  know, I mean, it's like, as a Habs fan, I'd rather have us be
• 27:19
  there, you know? But the other team I wanted next
• 27:21
  to the Habs is Columbus. You know, they're really, really
• 27:23
  fun. Yeah, so too bad to see, but
• 27:26
  really solid for a quality start.
• 27:27
  You've got Casey Desmith is gonna get Pittsburgh or
• 27:29
  Minnesota. I usually Lately, Minnesota has
• 27:32
  been a super easy matchup. If Caprice of Erickson Eck are
• 27:35
  backed by then it's harder. I still really like dialysis
• 27:38
  goalie regardless, you know, so I'm not too worried either way,
• 27:41
  But that's something to watch out for.
• 27:43
  And then you've got Yakub Dobish, who's gonna get either
• 27:46
  Philly or Nashville. He's gonna get the habit of the
• 27:48
  playoffs is what he's gonna, yeah.
• 27:49
  Honestly, keep an eye out. Like, Montel has not been good
• 27:53
  lately. No, Dovish is getting tired.
• 27:55
  Yeah, that's it. They've been playing him
• 27:56
  nonstop. I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 27:58
  gave Dobish a couple more games here and there just to lightness
• 28:00
  a little bit. And The thing is, they gotta put
• 28:01
  in whoever's gonna win them games and has been losing them
• 28:04
  games lately. Hate to say it, but it's true.
• 28:06
  So. I mean, as we recorded, perhaps
• 28:08
  have a back-to-back coming up. They're probably both play one
• 28:10
  game and whoever gets the better game.
• 28:11
  Played a better game. After that, who gets the one
• 28:13
  after progress? And still grow.
• 28:15
  Wedgwood, Dobesh, Desmith. That would be my my yeah order.
• 28:18
  But. I mean, Philly and Nashville are
• 28:20
  both such easy matchups, are fighting for their lives.
• 28:23
  So even though they've had another week, this week, it's
• 28:26
  going to be a good. Players are going all in on the
• 28:27
  ice in front of them, yeah. Exactly.
• 28:30
