  Whoa, whoa, oh. I'm liking the the new year new
• 0:09
  Kevin symbol woos. Simple, simple Jack.
• 0:15
  You never go full simple Jack. You never I don't think we can
• 0:22
  say with simple Jack is known for on the podcast no, but if
• 0:25
  you. Haven't seen Tropic Thunder.
• 0:27
  Go see Tropic Thunder. Yeah, that's, that's quite the
• 0:31
  movie. Welcome in everyone of Anger
• 0:33
  Management, the Fantasy hockey podcast with Jake, Josh and
• 0:37
  Kevin. How y'all doing?
• 0:41
  Simple. Wu, Kevin.
• 0:43
  Simple I'm I'm tired this morning but I'm doing OK.
• 0:47
  I'm actually having the worst fantasy hockey week I think I've
• 0:51
  ever had in my life. So, but I'm looking at positive,
• 0:54
  keeping it positive for the fans.
• 0:56
  You know the the the the reach texting just happens behind the
• 0:59
  scene in our group chat. It's been nothing but meltdown
• 1:04
  after meltdown after meltdown. I haven't seen what my phone's
• 1:08
  doing this week, it's insane. I think he's keeping it together
• 1:11
  pretty well. Thank you, I think this is
• 1:14
  happening exactly to me with the same opponent like 3 weeks ago.
• 1:17
  It did. It was like foreshadow every
• 1:19
  time that like something crazy happens to you, you're you're
• 1:21
  Kevin schedule is 2 weeks ahead of mine.
• 1:23
  So it's kind of like I'm like, oh God, like that's probably
• 1:26
  still going to be happening 2 weeks later.
• 1:28
  And so I could see like my future through whatever is
• 1:30
  happening to Kevin. Like I think Michael Backlund
• 1:33
  started becoming a point per game versus versus me and then
• 1:35
  he kept it up all the way like for three weeks until he played
• 1:38
  you and then I'll probably go back to getting.
• 1:40
  Zero. And now he's a 2 point per game
• 1:41
  player against me. And then, yeah, he's gonna
• 1:43
  immediately become zeros after that.
• 1:47
  It's a good time, though. I'm keeping it.
• 1:48
  I'm keeping it positive for the fans.
• 1:51
  I was gonna, I was thinking of something crazy, but Oh yeah.
• 1:53
  Also Stamkos, I think he's doing all his damage against both of
• 1:56
  us. So yeah.
• 1:58
  That's lovely. Yeah, it's, it's great.
• 2:00
  Having a good time. I'm good.

  possibility of it happening is enough to to make you intrigued.
• 2:51
  And one of us will be awake, One of.
• 2:53
  Us. Me.
• 2:54
  Ready. Alright, I'm currently on like 4
• 2:59
  hours of sleep but I'm pushing. You got this.
• 3:03
  Click send Kevin some trade offers all he sleep deprived.
• 3:07
  Matthews Ford Celebrity Yes, I'm still.
• 3:11
  You know what? Don't.
• 3:13
  Poke the bear and I don't know if I'm the bear.
• 3:15
  Josh is the bear in this one. But yeah, there's literally true
• 3:19
  is looking pretty funny. Cleveland trade it is for a week
• 3:26
  or I'm not getting like completely demolished.
• 3:28
  And then we could, you know, talk about it.
• 3:31
  The ruling down 3 roster percentage points, I'm just.
• 3:34
  Remember in NHL 2002, they had this like epic, like beginning
• 3:39
  to each game that you'd play. And then like I remember Craig
• 3:42
  Rivet who was like growing on the House for for those who
• 3:45
  don't remember him or are too young to remember.
• 3:48
  And he had like, a face like, if you're not on YouTube.
• 3:52
  Thanks. I don't like he had like a
• 3:54
  really angry looking face and I'm like, that was Zetterlund's
• 3:57
  face when he scored yesterday, so.
• 3:59
  I was like, poof. She renewing his interview date,
• 4:02
  throwing it back. So, so thanks, Fabri, and keep
• 4:07
  up the good work. Let's get into our Week 13 top
• 4:11
  waiver choices. Josh take.
• 4:13
  Do it because this was a very good week for us.
• 4:17
  Starting us off is a guy who I think he's been top of our list
• 4:21
  for the past month maybe, and I don't want to spoil it, but he's
• 4:24
  probably going to be there again this week.
• 4:26
  We've got Ryan O'Reilly last week, four games played, zero
• 4:29
  goals, 3 assists, 3 points. A big WI.
• 4:32
  Don't understand. I know he's pure C and I know
• 4:34
  he's on Nashville. With what he's been doing for
• 4:36
  over a month at this point, this is a no brainer.
• 4:38
  So a big win for us. Then we had Mason Marchment.
• 4:42
  Since the trade he's been a point per game over a point per
• 4:45
  game actually. But in the last week, three
• 4:46
  games played, one goal, 2 assists, 3 points, another big
• 4:49
  W. And then we have Ryan Leonard.
• 4:51
  Four games played, zero goals, two assist, 2 points, one on the
• 4:54
  power play. I'm counting that as W 1st of
• 4:56
  all, it's multi points, even though it's not as explosive as
• 4:58
  we'd hoped and he's maintained his power play one spot.
• 5:00
  So for those reasons I think it's still W.
• 5:02
  So overall, that brings us to 24 and 9 on the season, a big three
• 5:06
  Holy Week for us. Let's keep the momentum going
• 5:08
  with Week 14. So let's dive in to Week 14
• 5:12
  here. Two game teams.
• 5:14
  There's only one, it's Tampa Bay Lightning. 4 game teams.
• 5:16
  There's a bunch, so I'm not going to list all of them.
• 5:18
  Classic busy nights, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and you've
• 5:22
  got a couple. 2 off night game teams. 2 game off night teams.
• 5:26
  I don't know, but yeah, those. Are nice two teams.
• 5:31
  Yeah, exactly. I said all the right words.
• 5:32
  I noticed the wrong order. But anyways, Calgary, Chicago,
• 5:35
  LA, Ottawa, San Jose, Saint Louis, Utah, Washington.
• 5:38
  So those are all good teams to prioritize if you need the off
• 5:41
  nights. But let's dive in to the meat of
• 5:43
  the episode. What?
• 5:44
  Everyone's here for our top ten points guys for week 14.
• 5:48
  This is a pretty, pretty dope list because all 10 guys on this
• 5:53
  list have 4 game weeks. So not only are we recommending
• 5:56
  good guys, but they also all have great schedules.
• 5:59
  So this is going to be a good one.
• 6:01
  So let's jump in with. #10. At #10 We have the
• 6:07
  aforementioned Ryan Leonard of the Washington Capitals.
• 6:11
  He's currently on line 3 Power Play 1 and he's got a four-game
• 6:14
  week. We still think he has a lot of
• 6:16
  potential and the fact that he's sticking on Power Play 1 is just
• 6:18
  very promising. I love this.
• 6:22
  I think he's great. And one thing that he's been
• 6:25
  disappointed with lately is the Shaw Tits combo.
• 6:27
  That's something that he could definitely, you know, get back
• 6:31
  into. He he is coming back from injury
• 6:33
  in the somewhat recent past also.
• 6:34
  So, you know, as a young player still trying to figure out your
• 6:37
  way in the league like that, that stuff may come in waves.
• 6:41
  But yeah, I mean, he's only been back five games at the time of
• 6:44
  this recording. And and compared to what he was
• 6:46
  doing with the shots beforehand, I think that we're going to get
• 6:49
  back to that. And if he could keep the points
• 6:51
  the power play employment. I really like it.
• 6:53
  I don't want to get off topic with this.
• 6:55
  I just want to say one guy who I picked up who's on Washington
• 6:59
  also. I think this is digging way
• 7:01
  deeper. I prefer Ryan Leonard.
• 7:02
  Let me make it very clear and I'm about to get roasted by both
• 7:05
  of you, but Justin sort of what a guy exposure to Tom Wilson.
• 7:08
  Anyone with exposure to Tom Wilson is sick.
• 7:11
  So yeah, just just want just want people to have them on
• 7:14
  their radar if. You're honestly.
• 7:16
  Leonard is not available. I'm not, I'm not roasting you
• 7:18
  for that. He was on my watch list for
• 7:19
  awhile, mainly as a guy who gets face off wins from the winger
• 7:22
  position. But yeah, he was, you know, he
• 7:25
  was line one for a bit, line 2. The big thing is he doesn't seem
• 7:27
  to be getting power play 1. So I think you have to temper
• 7:30
  your expectations with him. But if he's honest.
• 7:31
  That's why I'm totally spaced on.
• 7:33
  Interim, yeah, but I don't hate it.
• 7:35
  Yeah, but definitely Yeah. Wasn't enough to crack crack the
• 7:38
  top 10, but he's worth mentioning.
• 7:41
  Maybe something, maybe someday all this was about to really
• 7:43
  actually produce segment somebody else on Washington.
• 7:49
  Still high for for that discussion.
• 7:51
  We can't talk about protest because he's owning 71% of
• 7:54
  leagues, Kevin, so yeah. You're you're right.
• 7:58
  My bad. How many leagues you playing,
• 8:00
  Jackie? 71% of them.
• 8:05
  Committing that somebody would probably.
• 8:09
  Alright, let's go to #9 at #9 We have a name that may be a bit
• 8:15
  surprising, but it's Brent Clark of the LA Kings.
• 8:18
  He's a four-game week this week and next week.
• 8:21
  The reason I'm highlighting him is because I think that he's
• 8:23
  about to pop off. He hasn't popped off yet, but I
• 8:27
  think we all agree and we've spoken about in the past that if
• 8:29
  Brent Clark gets power play one, we think he's a huge breakout
• 8:32
  candidate and could do really great things with it because
• 8:34
  he's a fantastic player. Then last week the genius coach
• 8:39
  and by genius big quotations police fire him, he said I am
• 8:43
  going to split up the two power play units and we don't have a
• 8:45
  power play one anymore. It's whoever is going to score
• 8:47
  goals is going to be our power play 1 and get more ice time.
• 8:49
  Lo and behold, the powerful unit with Brian Clark on it has three
• 8:52
  goals in the past three games. This is for an LA Kings team
• 8:55
  that is worst in the league in power play.
• 8:57
  So three goals in three games for them on the power play is a
• 9:00
  big deal. Now, Brown Clark only factored
• 9:02
  in one of those three goals, but the fact is by his unit doing
• 9:05
  this, they're cementing those with power play one.
• 9:07
  He's still shown on daily face off as power play 2.
• 9:10
  So a lot of people might not realize that he's actually the
• 9:13
  power play one quarterback for the Kings right now.
• 9:15
  I think there's huge potential here.
• 9:16
  I picked him up in our league and he's got nice shots and
• 9:18
  blocks. So even if he doesn't get points
• 9:20
  for you, he's not getting you zeros.
• 9:21
  I think this is a a big, big potential pickup.
• 9:26
  Yeah, and what's nice about him as well is that they have four
• 9:29
  games this week, four games next week as well.
• 9:32
  So you can hold them for this two week segment where you're
• 9:34
  hoping that he does pop off. I will say temper your
• 9:36
  expectations. It's not like the King's power
• 9:38
  play is anything to write home about either.
• 9:40
  There's 31st in the league right now in power play so.
• 9:43
  That could be because it could be because they weren't putting
• 9:46
  Clark there. I mean, I I held Clark tooth for
• 9:49
  a little bit. Josh picked him up right after I
• 9:51
  dropped him to be able to say he's about to pop off soon.
• 9:54
  So listen, this apartment is hoping that it doesn't pop off,
• 9:57
  but if everybody if everybody in the bank game picks him up, then
• 9:59
  I'll have to refer you guys so. Yeah, you know, I, I feel like
• 10:03
  he's been around a lot longer than he actually has been.
• 10:06
  Technically he's played in the NHL over the past Four Seasons,
• 10:08
  but the first year was 9 games, the second year was 16, and then
• 10:13
  last year he had his first legit year at 78.
• 10:16
  This year he's on track to play almost every game.
• 10:19
  He was an elite, elite prospect. He was kind of like touted as
• 10:23
  the next big thing post Macar because he was drafted in 2021.
• 10:28
  And yes, this is me citing junior stats, but guys, this guy
• 10:30
  had two points per game in the OL defenseman.
• 10:33
  That's a that's like what the the Bouchards of the world do or
• 10:37
  the Makars of the world do. Now, LA, I just think is kind of
• 10:41
  a boring team and so far as they're not super offensive.
• 10:44
  That being said, if if you draft a guy this high, if the numbers
• 10:49
  are there as they happen, especially as of late, like
• 10:51
  they're going to keep giving him opportunities and with the
• 10:54
  minutes there's going to be production plus the shots,
• 10:56
  blocks, like you said, it's really nice to have as a floor.
• 10:59
  Yeah, I mean his last game was like 4 shots, five blocks.
• 11:03
  So even though I didn't get any points, I'm super happy to have
• 11:05
  him. So as long as he does that, I
• 11:07
  can afford to hold. You can afford to hold him for
• 11:09
  until he does pop off points wise.
• 11:11
  Yeah, even for that, he had zero shots one block.
• 11:14
  So like you get both ends of the spectrum, you can get the high
• 11:17
  season, you can get the low floor.
• 11:19
  So now you're getting yourself into.
• 11:21
  But for defensemen and this guy that's going to have power play
• 11:25
  1 exposure. Like you take A chance on those
• 11:27
  and if they don't work out it's a low risk move anyways.
• 11:30
  Yeah, this is just like, this is an interesting one I added
• 11:32
  because normally we don't really like talk about, we talk about
• 11:35
  guys who like at the start of their pop off, you know, but so
• 11:38
  that people could pick them up. But like this is like it hasn't
• 11:40
  happened yet. I just feel pretty, pretty
• 11:43
  strongly that it's going to happen.
• 11:44
  So I threw on the list because he also has a great schedule
• 11:47
  this week and next week. But but yeah, you have to tap
• 11:49
  your expectations for sure. All right, let's go to #8 at #8
• 11:58
  We have Allison, home of the Boston Bruins line.
• 12:00
  One power play, 1 four-game week.
• 12:02
  I'm just gonna say everyone on our list has a four-game week
• 12:04
  this week, so I'm not gonna keep saying it, but uh yeah.
• 12:07
  Lindholm was on a bit of a. Coal stretching it.
• 12:09
  OK, I'll keep saying it and Lynn Homes have been on a bit of a
• 12:13
  cold stretch with pointless four games in a row, but then he got
• 12:16
  a goal and assist last game. He still has that elite
• 12:18
  deployment on a team that somehow has a really good power
• 12:21
  play, so I will keep adding him in.
• 12:24
  He's lower on the list because of that cold stretch, but with a
• 12:26
  four-game week, he's still an easy pick up.
• 12:30
  Yeah, I mean there, there is no other Line 1 centre on Boston
• 12:34
  Marat. I can't do it.
• 12:37
  I just can't do it. What about, like, OHT?
• 12:40
  He's about to do it. Yeah, no.
• 12:42
  Josh is the only one who's been able to telling me these these
• 12:46
  players. Yeah, him they don't work out
• 12:49
  men's and I actually like but he's never gonna get that line
• 12:51
  one it seems. And then Zaka is just it's just
• 12:54
  all over the place. Yeah.
• 12:55
  So so Lindholm is the guy this year.
• 12:57
  Anyone with with exposure to. I was gonna say Pasternak, but
• 13:01
  it seems like geeky currently the line one right wing there.
• 13:06
  Yeah, but power play one line 1. He will get the minutes.
• 13:09
  And even though I don't think the Bruins are gonna make the
• 13:12
  playoffs, I don't think they're very good.
• 13:13
  They still have a winning record and are, you know, you know,
• 13:17
  pretty much one or two wins away from being in the playoff
• 13:19
  picture in the Atlantic, which is really tight.
• 13:21
  So all these teams are gonna go all out every game, and Lynn
• 13:24
  Home could be a beneficiary there.
• 13:26
  I mean, Lynn, all of them has been on the on this list
• 13:29
  multiple weeks now and it feels like it's just line 1 centre.
• 13:32
  So he's playing the big minutes. He's exposed to top goal scorers
• 13:36
  in the league, like geeky and and the and Pasternak.
• 13:40
  And when there's a guy available like that on a four-game week,
• 13:42
  like we're going to be a tantalizing option.
• 13:44
  And that's what we have here. And my voice cracks.
• 13:47
  So that's. All Yeah, I love that.
• 13:52
  Are you guys coming? Here welcome to make your
• 13:58
  management. Sorry, that reminds me of when I
• 14:02
  was when I was about 18, I was working at this, this moving
• 14:08
  company called 1800 got junk. I don't know if you guys know it
• 14:12
  as a summer job. And I was like by far the
• 14:14
  youngest person on the team. And I was like 18.
• 14:17
  I was working with like 30-40 year old guys who are like all
• 14:20
  like, you know, like real, like, you know, strong guys because
• 14:24
  like, yeah, pretty much, you know, like I'm just like this.
• 14:26
  Little, little little boy. And they were.
• 14:28
  I was like a wiry little, like skinny, like 18 year old, you
• 14:30
  know, like working at got junk in the summer and they like I
• 14:34
  was off on a job or whatever and they tried calling me in.
• 14:36
  So I didn't answer. So I went to voicemail and I
• 14:38
  didn't realize that I still had the same voicemail.
• 14:40
  That I said, Oh my God. When I got my first phone in 6th
• 14:44
  grade and it was like 11. So I get back to the warehouse
• 14:50
  at the end of the day and they're like sitting around and
• 14:52
  I like walking and they all just go Joshua woman.
• 14:55
  And I'm just like when you guys talking about and then they
• 14:57
  played, they like call me and they be like, don't answer.
• 15:00
  You know, they play it for me. And they all like dying of
• 15:02
  laughter. And so I was like, right now.
• 15:07
  Remember that was mouse. When I got a new phone like it
• 15:12
  like it got lost. Which sucks but uh.
• 15:14
  But that was my voicemail for deep into university so.
• 15:20
  Actually, I don't think I set up my voicemail until like a year
• 15:22
  ago when people were just like, dude, we need to be able to like
• 15:25
  leave you messages sometimes. I was like, alright, I'll set
• 15:27
  it. Up Kevin's voicemail is popping
• 15:29
  off. OK, here's a guy is way too
• 15:30
  popular 2 in the morning. It's OK man, just stalling a
• 15:36
  horrible game. Giving set up like a phone line
• 15:41
  for like the discord. Yeah, that's yeah, you know.
• 15:47
  You know, apparently this is like a a generational divide.
• 15:49
  People who go like this are older and people go like this
• 15:52
  now are are like the younger. Wait.
• 15:53
  The phone is this is. A phone?
• 15:55
  That's crazy, I know. OK, if you're not watching on
• 15:57

• 16:00
  debate. This is a phone.

  At #7. Always called the blade had to
• 16:31
  die. Please leave.
• 16:32
  Got Blake Coleman of the Calgary Flames currently on my opponents
• 16:36
  team this week. So you know he's popping off.
• 16:38
  He is line 3 power play 2, which is not a deployment we usually
• 16:41
  recommend, but he's got four games and he is shot hits have
• 16:45
  been unreal. That's something that I expect
• 16:47
  to last and then his points have also been there.
• 16:49
  So this is the type of thing where you ride the point streak
• 16:51
  while it lasts. It's not going to be
• 16:52
  sustainable, but since he has that floor to the back cat,
• 16:54
  you're going to be happy. Pick him up regardless.
• 16:58
  Hello when a guy is like 2 you know too good at points to like
• 17:04
  only be in the shots hits in in the hit section, in the Bangor
• 17:07
  section you. Know.
• 17:07
  Yeah, like, yeah. He's really good at shots and
• 17:11
  his and easily could have been on that list, but it's like, you
• 17:13
  know, the points are there. Let's add him here.
• 17:14
  So that's always a great sign for for a good pick up.
• 17:17
  And yeah, I feel like Coleman is just one of those names he
• 17:20
  always rounds out like the back end of your roster every year.
• 17:23
  Like I feel like it's been the last three or four years that
• 17:26
  he's gotta keep an eye on because he's like centre and
• 17:28
  left wing, right wing and he gets he's a double double his
• 17:31
  points. Not always there kind of depends
• 17:33
  where his deployment is on on that given week or or year.
• 17:36
  And this year I feel like he's lower in the lineup than I would
• 17:39
  expect it, to be honest, given this Calgary team.
• 17:41
  But right now he's on a hot streak.
• 17:43
  And when he's on a hot streak with these bangs, he pick him up
• 17:46
  and you write that street this banger management, after all,
• 17:50
  Yeah. Fingers.
• 17:54
  Funny enough speak. Speaking about banging though.
• 17:57
  Oh God, Jake Jedi OHS do you know?
• 18:07
  Well, as everybody knows, Josh lives separate from Jake and I.
• 18:11
  He used to live with us, but then he moved away because he.
• 18:13
  Hated not with us everywhere. So do you live in an apartment?
• 18:20
  Speaking of banging was weird. Then, Speaking of Benny, Jackie
• 18:23
  and I got even weirder hanging Jake and I live together, but
• 18:28
  Josh moved away. It was because of all the.
• 18:33
  Babies. This is gonna have a way more
• 18:37
  wholesome ending. Whatever you guys think this is
• 18:39
  going, but wow. This is gonna handle the bag.
• 18:44
  Gonna handle it. So you have to move away.
• 18:49
  But Jake and I went to a rage room yesterday.
• 18:52
  Yeah, together. And we bang on some stuff.
• 18:56
  And honestly, seeing Jake with that rage in his eye now I see
• 19:01
  why he's part of anger management.
• 19:04
  There's a crazy journey to get there that was not.
• 19:08
  I had no idea. What do you mean though?
• 19:09
  The the most linear line of could have taken.
• 19:13
  Speaking of being and me and Jackie lived together so.
• 19:19
  And doctors live with us anymore.
• 19:24
  So Diggy, just like at the rate room being like Austin Matthews,
• 19:27
  better keep turning it around. Why is it produce on my team
• 19:33
  throws a plate at the wall? That was really the one that
• 19:37
  that. Yeah, see.
• 19:43
  I hope everybody else he's also laughing and it's not just us.
• 19:46
  Yeah, OHS this will find out. Wow, alright.
• 19:49
  What a sequence. OK.
• 19:51
  Yeah. Number six.
• 19:55
  Perfect, perfect voice because he's on my team.
• 19:57
  He's my boy Jordan Eberly of the Seattle crack in line.
• 20:00
  One power play 1, four-game week this week and four-game week
• 20:03
  next week and four-game week the week after that.
• 20:06
  I think, or was it this week? I think there's a stream of 3/4
• 20:08
  game weeks in a row coming up for for Seattle.
• 20:11
  So that's a very interesting, if you want a three-game week pick
• 20:13
  up, three-week pick up. And my, my words are all over
• 20:17
  the place today. 33 3-4 game week pickups.
• 20:22
  There you go. OK, sorry everyone, I'm just
• 20:26
  really. It's it's, it's weak. 1415 and
• 20:29
  16, all four. Four.
• 20:30
  Yes, 4 exactly. All four games.
• 20:32
  You see, it's hard. It's not easy.
• 20:34
  Oh my. God, hard little tongue twister.
• 20:36
  Yeah, exactly. I'm I'm all over the place.
• 20:38
  But anyways, I really is someone who's been on and off this list
• 20:41
  since the start of the season, it feels like he's maintained
• 20:43
  this elite deployment, elite ice time.
• 20:45
  But Seattle sucks. So that's always been the
• 20:47
  caveat. But lately Seattle's been good.
• 20:49
  So boat goes up and released the captain of the boat.
• 20:52
  So everybody goes up. It's a, it's pretty simple math
• 20:55
  there, but I know he's actually been doing really well lately
• 20:58
  over the past month. He's at like .85 points per
• 21:01
  game, .4 power play points per game, gets over two shots.
• 21:05
  He can throw in a hit here and there.
• 21:06
  Like he's been blocking like exactly 1 block a game for the
• 21:09
  past like 8 games. So he he's been really good for
• 21:12
  my team and I think I definitely recommend him as a pickup.
• 21:16
  The last time I had a really kind of player on my team, I
• 21:18
  flipped him for Pavel Dorotheos. So.
• 21:21
  Yeah, listen, that was a. Couple years extra upside of
• 21:24
  he's been producing, he can produce.
• 21:28
  He will produce the four games the next three weeks.
• 21:32
  Maybe you can flip them for Pebble Directive as well.
• 21:35
  You down. Yeah, that's a joke to Josh
• 21:39
  cause I have paddled over here now, but yeah, no, I Everly has
• 21:42
  been consistent the whole season.
• 21:44
  His deployment has been studied the whole season.
• 21:46
  He's the type of guy that it's not a flashy name, but you can
• 21:49
  pick him up and he can deliver for your fantasy team.
• 21:52
  And I love guys like that because I feel like nobody else
• 21:54
  values them as much as I do, and I'm happy that they're always on
• 21:58
  waivers for me to pick up and have on my roster.
• 22:01
  And this is one of those opportunities that you can do
• 22:03
  the same thing. Yeah, it's also apparently
• 22:05
  impossible for him to not get a block.
• 22:07
  That's he's like, I was just looking at it today.
• 22:10
  What is this? It's exactly 1 game for all.
• 22:13
  Of us were off yeah it's just like 9 straight games of just
• 22:18
  one block just just like like is a cherry on top but yeah I mean
• 22:22
  this is this is just really really good.
• 22:24
  I didn't realize that he was he was on this level.
• 22:27
  I mean it's amazing to see and it's coincided with Seattle
• 22:31
  being being a really solid team as of late.
• 22:34
  I like it a lot. It's time to make like Davy
• 22:36
  Jones, release the Kraken and pick up Jordan overlay you.
• 22:39
  Know. But you know what?
• 22:40
  You know what? I do want to highlight those
• 22:42
  since we are talking about the crackin Jared McCann, who I feel
• 22:47
  like you could potentially assume would be on this list.
• 22:50
  He's he's 28% owned and we're talking about equally over
• 22:53
  McCann. Like McCann, he's been back from
• 22:56
  injury, been four games. I think he's played over 14
• 23:00
  minutes a night like once. So it's just one of those
• 23:03
  situations that I don't really know what they're doing with
• 23:05
  their lines right now. And like McCann should arguably
• 23:08
  be their best player talent wise every when everybody's healthy.
• 23:12
  So I just want to throw a little tidbit in there because I think
• 23:15
  mechanic is also widely available.
• 23:17
  And no, we did not forget him. I really I think it's just a
• 23:20
  better stream right now. Yeah, it's, it's kind of.
• 23:22
  Crazy David Jones with like McCann.
• 23:25
  Yeah exactly. That's crazy because I feel like
• 23:28
  he's been, we were kind of talking about him for awhile,
• 23:31
  you know in the news episodes with him getting injured and
• 23:33
  then coming back. And I think there's still
• 23:35
  probably just easing him in. Like if you can manage to stay
• 23:37
  healthy for like 2 weeks then maybe they'll start upping his
• 23:40
  minutes. But at the same time if things
• 23:42
  are working then not to shake things up too much.
• 23:44
  So definitely Eberly over McCann right now, but I wouldn't be
• 23:46
  surprised if a season long you preparing McCann.
• 23:49
  OK, let's go to. #5. At #5 we have someone who all of
• 23:57
  these guys, you know, they hop on and off of this list over the
• 23:59
  course of the year. And that's just that's just
• 24:01
  streamers for you. That's how it works with waivers
• 24:03
  and and these low owned guys. But we've got Luke Evangelista
• 24:06
  of the Nashville Predators currently line to power play 1
• 24:09
  four-game week and he's been on fire along with the rest of
• 24:12
  those, you know, power play one guys on Nashville, Nashville
• 24:14
  showing some offence. Look, none of us believe that
• 24:16
  it's going to sustain rest of season, but this is the exact
• 24:20
  type of player that you want to pick up for a stream and hold on
• 24:22
  to as long as the streak runs. Yeah, he he's a decent player.
• 24:26
  And if Nashville is gonna produce, it's it's similar to
• 24:30
  the Boston Bruins, like they're they're a bad team with a few
• 24:33
  offensively talented players. And it's those guys that are
• 24:37
  going to that are going to, you know, get the points.
• 24:39
  So right now on the season, you have 30 points and 39 games,
• 24:43
  which is, which is quite decent actually with as an overall
• 24:46
  picture. And I mean, I think they're,
• 24:49
  yeah, exactly what you said gonna be bad.
• 24:51
  But you know, it's not the worst thing to have a good player on a
• 24:55
  bad team cause bad teams are still NHL teams and they score.
• 24:59
  So sometimes. So yeah, he, he's not, he's not
• 25:02
  like, you know, atop this, this Nashville list of guys I would
• 25:07
  want on my team. But he's still it seems like his
• 25:10
  power play 1 deployment is pretty safe.
• 25:12
  Yeah. I mean, well, there's a caveat
• 25:14
  of Marsha so being injured, so we'll see what happens.
• 25:16
  I mean, honestly, with Marsha, so I really think they're
• 25:18
  holding out for a trade because he's been day-to-day for about
• 25:22
  like 2 weeks at this point. So it just.
• 25:24
  Seems to get traded to the hubs. Yeah, I've been seeing that.
• 25:27
  But but yeah, so like there is a caveat that there's a chance
• 25:30
  that Marzo comes back and then bumps my power play one, but I
• 25:33
  think it's pretty unlikely at this point.
• 25:35
  You guys wanna know what I think of whenever I see his name?
• 25:40
  I think, I think. I like that song where it's
• 25:43
  like, I love it when you call me Evangelist The you know what?
• 25:49
  You don't know that. Song.
• 25:50
  But wait. But what did they say besides
• 25:52
  evangelista? Usually they senior Senorita
• 25:54
  senorita. Ohl, that's funny.
• 25:58
  Every time I see his name that pops into my head.
• 26:01
  This is like the the new and updated version of I Wanna Bang
• 26:05
  Bang Bang with a Mario. Yeah.
• 26:09
  Yeah, that's just how. Much real world.
• 26:11
  That's for Amadio. Yeah, there you go.
• 26:17
  Hello. So anyways, I hope you guys
• 26:19
  could think that think that every time you see his name now.
• 26:21
  Well, I can't, not so. I certainly will.
• 26:26
  Alright, let's go to the next one, alright. #4.
• 26:30
  At #4 Call Davy Jones because it's time to.
• 26:34
  Release the Kraken. Leave God.
• 26:36
  Oh cool. Josh, what's wrong, Josh?
• 26:46
  Gotcha. The stereo phase two and he does
• 26:50
  it. Guys, you should really watch it
• 26:51
  on YouTube. Honestly.
• 26:53
  We've got Eli Tolvanen of the Seattle crackin again, line 2
• 26:57
  power play 1 again with the four-game week coming up for the
• 27:00
  next three weeks and he's been on fire.
• 27:03
  The points have slowed down, but this is another one of those
• 27:05
  Blake Colman's where it's like his banger cats have been so
• 27:07
  elite that even without the points you're still happy.
• 27:10
  But there's the points upside as well.
• 27:12
  So that's why he's ranked higher than early.
• 27:13
  I would expect everybody to get more points, but Tobin is going
• 27:15
  to get way better back at so I'd rather take 12 in an overly
• 27:19
  with. I want a more well-rounded
• 27:20
  stream. Why did he get 5 blocks two
• 27:24
  games ago? He's crazy.
• 27:26
  It's crazy stuff. Yeah.
• 27:30
  Game of one shot, five hits, five blocks.
• 27:33
  And then before that six shots, two hits, three blocks.
• 27:36
  Like this is this is like, if you get this out of a
• 27:38
  defenseman, you're the happiest guy in the world.
• 27:40
  Yet from a forward with the potential offence like offensive
• 27:44
  production, it's insane. And we mentioned before, do not
• 27:47
  forget Seattle got four games this week, four games on next
• 27:50
  week, four games a week after that.
• 27:53
  So this could be a long term guide that you know, with the
• 27:56
  banger capabilities that he has, hits and blocks, somehow they
• 28:00
  can really provide some good value for your fantasy team.
• 28:02
  I love telling him he's one of my favorite players that I feel
• 28:04
  like he's always like top of the watch list when he's not on my
• 28:09
  roster because I'm like the bangs are so good.
• 28:11
  If only the points were there and then the points are being
• 28:13
  there. At some point you're like, OK,
• 28:14
  you finally on your roster, then you're happy with it.
• 28:16
  And right now is one of those opportunities that the points
• 28:19
  are there. So the deployment is good, the
• 28:21
  minutes are good, which means the banks get better.
• 28:23
  It's just all a great circle that makes you want to own this
• 28:26
  guy so. Yeah, circle of bangs.
• 28:31
  Think of a circle of bangs, Jake.
• 28:33
  Your night now, Yes. Alright, at #3.
• 28:43
  At #3 This is a really interesting one.
• 28:45
  We've got Egor Chernyshov of the San Jose Sharks line one, power
• 28:49
  play 2. It's very rare that someone not
• 28:51
  on power play one when making in our top three.
• 28:53
  But what he's been doing, just you can't ignore it. 4 game week
• 28:56
  this week. It is A2 game week the week
• 28:58
  after that. So there's a chance you might
• 29:00
  drop him after the week depending on if you can keep it
• 29:02
  up or not. But he's playing line one with
• 29:04
  Maclin Celebri, the best player in the NHL and definitely better
• 29:07
  than Matthews and um, and he's just been going nuts.
• 29:13
  And there's like like a fun fact from San Jose fans that they
• 29:16
  keep bringing up in every every post about tarnish off popping
• 29:19
  off, how he's just going. He's over a point per game.
• 29:20
  Since entering the NFL about two weeks ago, he's played like 10
• 29:24
  games. And apparently the only reason
• 29:26
  he dropped to the second round and was drafted by San Jose that
• 29:30
  late is because before like, I don't know if it was like a
• 29:34
  combine or like something, whatever.
• 29:36
  He showed up late because he was out and got sunburned and by the
• 29:41
  sun. And then because of the sunburn,
• 29:44
  he was like, yeah, because that sunburn, he was like, I don't
• 29:48
  know why that made him late, but he was late.
• 29:50
  And then people were like, oh, like, you know, GM were like,
• 29:52
  oh, maybe he's like irresponsible or whatever and
• 29:54
  stuff like that. So they stayed away.
• 29:55
  So he dropped to the second round.
• 29:57
  So every time there's a post about turning off the all the
• 29:59
  San Jose fans are like, thank you to the Sun, you know, like
• 30:02
  for, for letting us. Get him in the second or the sun
• 30:04
  God. Yeah, exactly.
• 30:08
  So that's a fun little tidbit, but but yeah, look at his stats.
• 30:10
  He's been nuts. Your husband.
• 30:14
  And we've been getting questions into Discord about people asking
• 30:17
  like, hey, like, is this real? Like, what are we, what are we
• 30:20
  doing here? Because if you're not in a deep,
• 30:22
  deep league, you most definitely have a lot of better options
• 30:27
  than Trina Shaw on your waivers, right?
• 30:29
  But he's producing better than a lot of those guys right now.
• 30:31
  So you're like, OK, like this guy is way less owned, way less
• 30:35
  of a bigger name, but he's producing better.
• 30:36
  Like, are we, is this real? And my instinct is as long as
• 30:41
  it's not P1, the the five on five production will regress at
• 30:44
  some point. Like yes, celebrity is amazing.
• 30:47
  Sabrina, I feel like every game he gets three points, but that's
• 30:50
  not sustainable. And I think at some point either
• 30:55
  he will get the look on power play 1 and his floor will become
• 30:58
  safer. And I do think that's honestly a
• 31:00
  viable option in the near future because he's been playing so
• 31:03
  well. But until that happens, I feel
• 31:06
  like this is just a ride it while it's hot.
• 31:08
  And then when he slows down, you either cut bait or listen, you
• 31:12
  hold down for that power plant and you see where that goes.
• 31:14
  But that's kind of like my take on on him as a player.
• 31:16
  I've already answered people in the discord being like, that's
• 31:19
  kind of how I feel. So just for everybody else
• 31:21
  that's not in the discord yet, that's how I feel.
• 31:24
  And I don't know if you guys feel differently, but right now,
• 31:28
  like what he's doing on the ice is very impressive.
• 31:29
  And I feel like it's kind of like a similar situation to guys
• 31:31
  we've talked in the past. Not don't wanna give spoiled to
• 31:34
  the next guy. But it's just like when they do
• 31:35
  so well as 5V5 and the popular 1 doesn't have like five guys are
• 31:39
  like super cemented, you always feel like that guy is inevitably
• 31:42
  going to get chance on that on that unit.
• 31:43
  As well. So yeah.
• 31:45
  That's a great putting. It could be a great second-half
• 31:48
  of the season. Yeah, I don't think Wenberg is
• 31:51
  is like some like for sure guy there.
• 31:55
  It's four to Four Seasons. Yeah.
• 31:57
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, I mean, Eckland celebrity
• 32:01
  like these are super important guys for their future, but I
• 32:03
  wouldn't be surprised if sooner than later they're just like,
• 32:06
  you know what, let's just try 5 forwards Orlov.
• 32:09
  I mean, he's there because Klingberg's out and there's no
• 32:13
  like, legit defenseman. If Chernyshov goes there, it
• 32:16
  really, really upsets, UPS his floor like heaven.
• 32:19
  But usually you would think it's a ceiling, but I feel like he's
• 32:22
  kind of already playing at his ceiling, yet his floor is
• 32:25
  basically zeros. So it's encouraging to see that
• 32:29
  like in the age all before he got called up, he was doing
• 32:32
  really well too. He was almost a point for game.
• 32:34
  You do have to. Pull it out though, because
• 32:37
  it's. From this year, you know, yeah,
• 32:40
  that's it. But that's from this year and he
• 32:42
  was playing well. So yeah, I mean, you know, Will
• 32:46
  Smith is gonna come back. It's going to give more balance
• 32:48
  to the lineup also, which may take away from Turner Shaw's
• 32:52
  power play one chances, but may also make him better, you know,
• 32:57
  even strength. So I don't know.
• 32:59
  It's it's kind of weird, honestly, but I I like it.
• 33:01
  I mean, for now especially, I would definitely want to pick
• 33:04
  him up the four games next week. Like you could do worse.
• 33:09
  Yeah, I mean, I think the Will Smith is something I was gonna
• 33:12
  mention as well. He's still week to week, so it's
• 33:13
  not like an immediate thing. But what I'm seeing is people
• 33:16
  suspect that line one will be celebrity Smith and Chernyshov
• 33:20
  when he comes back. So like you said, 55, that
• 33:22
  should be a big like like great for him, but power play one just
• 33:26
  feels like hard to crack if it's assuming they keep one
• 33:29
  defenseman, right. That leaves four guys.
• 33:31
  You've got celebrity Smith and Eckland feel kind of like locks
• 33:34
  and then they just really like Wenberg for the face off wins.
• 33:38
  So it's hard to see turn this off like a rookie, you know,
• 33:41
  like breaking into that. But it's if he keeps playing
• 33:45
  like this, then it's definitely possible.
• 33:46
  Like it's not one of those like iron set power play ones like
• 33:49
  we've like Kevin mentioned. I do want to say in like I've
• 33:52
  been following the Sharks pretty closely this year because I have
• 33:54
  asked grab on my team and I have excellent on my team and
• 33:57
  celebrating. England have been the two guys
• 33:58
  that have been on P1 the whole season.
• 34:01
  Like even Smith before the injury, he was on P2 for
• 34:04
  restriction of time as well. So I'm not saying like it's a
• 34:07
  given that he's no he should be on power play 1.
• 34:10
  I don't know why he was on P2, but he was.
• 34:12
  Wenberg wasn't always there to Foley was.
• 34:14
  Toffoli was a drop earlier in the season as well with terrible
• 34:18
  deployment. He was like line three, line 4
• 34:20
  power play 2 at certain points. So all those guys have had
• 34:23
  stretches where they were like not on the main unit except
• 34:26
  Celebration Echlin. So I think there's still like
• 34:28
  two other spots that are very viable for trash to get a crack
• 34:31
  at it. And if he gets a crack at it
• 34:33
  before Will Smith comes back, I think that's like the golden
• 34:37
  ticket because he can cement his roster spot before Smith comes
• 34:40
  back. And then maybe he's safe for
• 34:44
  when Smith comes back. I don't want to keep saying when
• 34:46
  Smith comes back, but, but but I'll ask.
• 34:49
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 34:50
  OK, let's go to. #2. And #2 we have one of our top
• 34:56
  guys from last week. He did us so well that we're
• 34:58
  like, let's run it back. Mason Marchment of the Columbus
• 35:01
  Blue Jackets currently line one power play 1 four-game week over
• 35:04
  a point per game since the trade.
• 35:06
  Look, we've seen him be great in the past.
• 35:08
  We mentioned this, we mentioned this last week when we
• 35:11
  recommended him, but he's always been solid for bangers, shots,
• 35:14
  hits Pimms and then with this kind of deployment and this
• 35:17
  change of scenery, he clearly, it's clearly working well for
• 35:20
  him. So it's this is a really easy
• 35:21
  stream on a four-game week. He's almost the most pick up
• 35:26
  right now for me with the deployment and I think Columbus
• 35:29
  is hitting their stride. I want I want exposure to guys
• 35:32
  that have this kind of deployment on this kind of team.
• 35:34
  So. Yeah, it's very, it's, I mean,
• 35:39
  especially now with Werenski back, it's just gonna give a
• 35:41
  whole boost to everybody involved there.
• 35:43
  And like he was doing well without without that boost.
• 35:46
  And now with power play one, it's just a really, really solid
• 35:49
  choice. I mean, his pace recently is,
• 35:52
  is, is tough to keep up, but he'll still get you the shots
• 35:56
  and, and like a few hits here and there.
• 35:59
  I think it's it's a really the ceiling is I don't think what
• 36:03
  Chernyshov necessarily has, but it's a much safer bet.
• 36:07
  And honestly, it's it's a similar feeling like he's
• 36:10
  really, really good. And for bangers leagues, I love
• 36:13
  it. Even points leagues, it's just a
• 36:15
  the minutes are also super great.
• 36:17
  Yeah. So all things are good for
• 36:19
  Marshman. Yeah, I feel we.
• 36:22
  Should just get back into. Get ready to number one right
• 36:24
  after. Yeah, let's do it.
• 36:27
  Number one. At #1 we have Ryan O'Reilly of
• 36:30
  the National Predators Linen partly won four-game week over a
• 36:33
  point per game for the past month.
• 36:34
  I mean, like, I'm saying all this stuff because we've started
• 36:37
  probably every week for the past four weeks, 5 weeks.
• 36:41
  I don't know how many times I have to tell people to pick up
• 36:42
  O'Reilly before he goes over 40%.
• 36:45
  Like he's just keeps pointing, putting up points.
• 36:47
  It's nuts. But you know, we'll take it,
• 36:48
  right? It's free wins for us on our our
• 36:50
  win column, you know, So like, just keep him under 40%.
• 36:54
  We'll just keep recommending him.
• 36:55
  But. Yeah, No, 2% more and then use
• 36:57
  that 38% now, so maybe, maybe next week.
• 36:59
  Is this might be the last week that we could recommend him?
• 37:02
  You know, as fun as it is to get these free wins, it is nice to
• 37:05
  change up the name. So hopefully he gets over 40%
• 37:07
  and we could we could have some new guys to talk about.
• 37:09
  Next week in a in a non face offs league, we're still
• 37:13
  sticking with this over marchment.
• 37:15
  Hey, like he's like undisputed #1 for you guys.
• 37:18
  The point is just going to get more personal marchment.
• 37:21
  I feel like it's just been a month that we've been saying
• 37:22
  he's averaging over a point per game for a month.
• 37:24
  So yeah, it's it's pretty crazy that we're talking about this
• 37:28
  and he's a Nashville player and everybody at this point knows
• 37:31
  how we feel about Nashville. So Yep.
• 37:35
  But yeah, if it starts with, the stats are there.
• 37:38
  The small the small. One thing I guess I'll add here
• 37:41
  cause I wasn't on the the last episode in the month of December
• 37:43
  he did not have a single game with over 2 points.
• 37:46
  That means it's consistent production which is great.
• 37:49
  It's like every game, like almost is getting a point or
• 37:52
  two, and I love to see that. Yeah, no, that's a great point.
• 37:56
  As opposed to like. Yeah, Oh my God, she actually
• 38:01
  waved crazy. The translator had in my face,
• 38:06
  but we'll call. It no that was all gonna I'm
• 38:08
  gonna yeah, I. Wanna go where?
• 38:10
  She knows, but I know it definitely as opposed to like
• 38:13
  it's easy when you look at like the averages to be like, oh,
• 38:15
  point per game, you know, but sometimes it's a guy who had
• 38:17
  like a random like 5 point game and then just zeros for for like
• 38:21
  2 weeks. So it's definitely, I definitely
• 38:23
  prefer, like Jackie said, having just those constant ones and
• 38:25
  twos for every game as opposed to just one big game because
• 38:28
  it's easier to predict that it's going to keep up.
• 38:30
  So that's a great point. But let's dive into our top five
• 38:33
  bangers with a capital good for this week.
• 38:37
  Again, all four-game weeks. This is just a great.
• 38:40
  Whoever compiled this list did a great job and let's.
• 38:48
  Mature woman. So let's dive right in with #5
• 38:56
  at #5 we have Mark Kastelic of the Boston Bruins.
• 39:00
  He has a four-game week averaging 1.4 shots, 2.7 hits,
• 39:04
  almost a block, and a bunch of penalty minutes.
• 39:07
  If your lead counts that he's getting you face off wins from a
• 39:09
  winger position. This is a a guy who's bumped on
• 39:13
  and off of this list over the past couple of weeks, but pretty
• 39:16
  much any game he has, any week he has a four-game week, he's
• 39:18
  kind of worth mentioning in the in the bangers.
• 39:22
  Yeah, I hope he'll get you that production.
• 39:24
  There's not much more to say. There's always something,
• 39:27
  there's always too much to say. I mean, another fun thing about
• 39:29
  him is Boston has a 444 in the in the playoffs.
• 39:32
  So this is the exact type of anger you want, right?
• 39:34
  A guy who's gonna fill the cats and get you all those extra
• 39:36
  games played in the playoffs. So I definitely like this is a
• 39:39
  pickup that you could just hold on to for the for the rest of
• 39:41
  the season. Yeah, I also like when you pick
• 39:43
  up, when we pick up bangers on like teams that are known for
• 39:47
  being like banger teams. So it just makes me feel like
• 39:50
  I'm about to get even better, like something even better, you
• 39:52
  know, like, like the Bostons and Nashville's, it just feels like
• 39:56
  they always have like, goons on their roster that are just good
• 39:59
  at bangs. And the Catholic definitely
• 40:02
  bangs. Yeah, Speaking of Bangla music.
• 40:10
  God. OK, let's go to.
• 40:14
  Number. 4 and #4 We have the king of this list.
• 40:18
  He is never not on it, especially on a four-game week.
• 40:21
  We've got Radko Gudas and the Anaheim Ducks.
• 40:23
  He recently missed two games due to illness, but he's back.
• 40:26
  He's averaging 1.3 shots, 3.5 hits, 1.8 blocks, 4 game week.
• 40:31
  And I mean, the last two games he's decided, you know, I'm
• 40:33
  going to take a little bit of a break from hitting it, just
• 40:35
  become a puck eating machine. So he's blocked six shots in
• 40:39
  both of his last two games. That's kind of what's great
• 40:42
  about him is like he's gonna get you elite blogs or elite hits or
• 40:45
  both. But uh, he's just very
• 40:48
  consistent in the fact that, you know, he's knocking those cats
• 40:51
  out. So 4 game weeks, an easy stream.
• 40:53
  Yeah, what more to say about Radical Gus at this point?
• 40:56
  Feel like he's the one of the names that should not be
• 40:58
  available in Bangor, Leah. So if you're playing in a band
• 41:00
  league that he's still available in, listen, this is the week
• 41:03
  that you finally got to do it. Yeah, that's not the most
• 41:05
  interesting because I feel like he should be just owned in every
• 41:09
  Bangor league and he's a pretty household name in Bangor
• 41:11
  leagues. So let's go to the next one #3
• 41:15
  and #3 Here comes the Boon Boon Jenner of the Columbus Blue
• 41:20
  Jackets. Thank you.
• 41:23
  Something goes in my head whenever I see certain players
• 41:25
  names I have these like like songs or whatever.
• 41:28
  It's just you call. It's exactly.
• 41:32
  So yeah, we got Bunner Columbus Blue Jackets.
• 41:35
  He's averaging 2.3 shots, 2.2 hits, 1.1 blocks.
• 41:38
  He gets you face off wins from the winger position and he's
• 41:40
  been chipping in points. Like the one thing that he's not
• 41:44
  doing as much as previous years is face off wins.
• 41:46
  But everything else, he's the boon of old.
• 41:48
  You know, he's always been a kind of a go to guy in bangers
• 41:51
  leaks that that count faceoff wins, but he's just you know,
• 41:54
  you're not getting these these shots, hits and blocks from the
• 41:57
  forward position from most players.
• 41:59
  So he's he's kind of special in that way.
• 42:02
  Yeah, I, I hate this guy and here's why I so, so here comes
• 42:10
  the boom. First of all, I love it.
• 42:12
  And we got a question on our most recent mailbag episode, hot
• 42:16
  Topics and mailbag episode. And it was about what are your
• 42:19
  team names? And you know, we were talking
• 42:21
  about how it's always great to have a pun for your team name.
• 42:24
  So last year I picked him in the tenth round.
• 42:27
  I was so excited. He was like one of those guys
• 42:29
  I've always wanted to own on my team in our, in our league.
• 42:33
  And I was about to like literally change my name, like
• 42:39
  my team name to here comes the boon.
• 42:41
  And then he got injured for the season like for at least like
• 42:47
  like 6 months of it or whatever. And then he got claimed by the
• 42:51
  guy who ended up winning the league.
• 42:54
  It's the Houston IR. And I was like, plagued with
• 42:56
  injuries. I just couldn't hold him.
• 42:58
  So yeah, yeah. But good pick up but still.
• 43:04
  No, I don't blame. That's the kind of stuff that's
• 43:05
  unforgivable. And fantasy hockey, you know you
• 43:07
  never forget. That ruined my team name out for
• 43:11
  the year. Waste of a pic.
• 43:13
  Like just everything bad but. But yes, he's great.
• 43:15
  But I'm. Not yeah, but he's still great
• 43:17
  though. Yeah.
• 43:19
  And I was looking at stats this season and like he's point
• 43:23
  producing more than he was in previous years, which I feel
• 43:26
  like it's counterintuitive because he's older, they have
• 43:27
  better guys on their roster now. So he's lower in the lineup, but
• 43:30
  yet he's still Newton and his that boon of old so.
• 43:35
  So for now at least, he's a good stream and we'll see.
• 43:37
  I wouldn't expect the points necessarily to keep up, but the
• 43:39
  bangs are there. The other banks are there for
• 43:42
  sure. OK, let's go.
• 43:44
  To awesome. Yeah, yeah. #2.
• 43:48
  Alright, this is my boy from back in the day.
• 43:50
  He's back and he's banging. He's actually just smashing
• 43:54
  bodies left and right. So we've got just three of the
• 43:58
  Vegas Golden Knights. He is averaging 3.5 hits, 1.6
• 44:02
  blocks and over a penalty minute 4 game week.
• 44:05
  And if you look at his game log, you know why you should be
• 44:07
  picking him up for this week if you need the banks.
• 44:09
  He's just been absolutely tearing it up.
• 44:12
  It's not too long ago, I think it was three seasons ago that he
• 44:15
  beat the record, like the season record for most hits in a
• 44:18
  season. Obviously he had a lot of injury
• 44:20
  this year, but he's back now and seems to be doing well and not
• 44:23
  having any issues. So I love Loza long term pick
• 44:26
  up. Yeah, and, and like these season
• 44:30
  stats are, are really nice, but if you look at the last two
• 44:32
  weeks, because he he was injured for a bit and he, he's been back
• 44:37
  for the past past few games and basically he has 4.14 hits per
• 44:42
  game, two blocks per game. Crazy.
• 44:44
  It's not like that's. Absolutely elite.
• 44:46
  So it's even better than his season averages.
• 44:50
  If you had to have one on there on your roster for long term,
• 44:53
  would you rather have Lozon or Gus?
• 44:55
  That's a great question. I was like just thinking that
• 44:59
  that's really tough. Goodness has like more proven
• 45:02
  track record of being like the durability and the stability and
• 45:05
  those all has that entry risk but goes on when he's playing
• 45:08
  like he's playing now, it's just better.
• 45:10
  So I think I'm taking Lozol over Gus.
• 45:14
  He also has one extra game in the playoffs then then Gus does.
• 45:16
  Although Gus has a lot of off nights.
• 45:18
  So you can go either way, but I think I'm going to lose.
• 45:23
  I don't know. Yeah.
• 45:24
  I mean, it's so close. You're you're you're splitting
• 45:26
  feathers, as we like to say. But I think I'm gonna go.
• 45:28
  I think I'm gonna go good as just because it is like he just
• 45:32
  kind of has these games where he's like, you know what, I'm
• 45:35
  just gonna win my fantasy owner. Go smash.
• 45:38
  Does that exactly? Exactly.
• 45:42
  So, so that's it. But I mean, it's so close, like
• 45:45
  it's. Also feel like the other that's
• 45:47
  in the back of my mind is that good?
• 45:48
  This is the captain for Anaheim, like it or not.
• 45:50
  So he's like plays in the lineup is quote UN quote save, whereas
• 45:54
  LaSalle is a bottom pairing defenseman.
• 45:56
  That's true. So there's always a chance that
• 45:58
  you know, come something happens like he can play 13 minutes a
• 46:02
  night or you could get scratched realistically, like not saying
• 46:05
  that's going to happen. Not going to project that into
• 46:07
  the fantasy playoffs either. But it's in the back of my mind
• 46:10
  that like tiebreaker like both you guys are like similar enough
• 46:13
  that maybe also has a better weekly performance in him than
• 46:16
  Gudas. But he has jostled the risk of
• 46:21
  getting out of the lineup so. Yeah, you know, you know what,
• 46:24
  if I think I over I didn't wanna be biased because I have good on
• 46:27
  my team, so I won't lose on. But now you're right, I'd go
• 46:29
  this as well. Also like I feel like if you put
• 46:32
  into like Chachi BT like name the most banger defenseman name
• 46:36
  you could think of, it would pop out Radko Gudas, you know what I
• 46:39
  mean? Like it's just like.
• 46:41
  Actually, how his parents named him and they were like, what can
• 46:46
  we name our son? We want him to be a banger
• 46:49
  fantasy hockey player. So yeah, if any, you know, if
• 46:54
  new parents out there need to name their kids and want a
• 46:56
  banger, just go to go to Chachi BT and and see what pops out.
• 46:59
  I'm sure it'll be Radko gudas. All right, I'm excited about
• 47:03
  this, this one. So let's go to.
• 47:05
  Yeah. Number one, number one, I feel
• 47:08
  like it's kind of crazy that we haven't mentioned him.
• 47:11
  I feel like at all, hmm, with what he's been doing, I was
• 47:14
  like, this guy has to be talked about and he should be #1 We've
• 47:17
  got Alex Laferriere, the better laugh of the LA Kings.
• 47:22
  He is averaging on the season 2.4 shots, 2.8 hits.
• 47:26
  He's got four games this week, four games next week.
• 47:29
  It's just the shot hits that he's been doing are absolutely
• 47:32
  absurd. He is pretty low rostered still.
• 47:34
  I think he's still in the teens of percentages 17.
• 47:37
  Percent. Yeah, that's insane to me with
• 47:39
  what he's been doing. Like, this could be the type of
• 47:41
  name that, like, people just haven't noticed it, you know,
• 47:44
  flies under the radar. But if you're in a league that
• 47:46
  counts, Johnson hits, you need to pick this guy up.
• 47:49
  This is like, it's crazy what he's been doing.
• 47:51
  Like have you guys checked out his game log recently?
• 47:53
  It's just him this week, I'm playing against him this week,
• 47:57
  and if you look at Laferriere over the last two weeks, he's
• 47:59
  averaging four shots and 3.3 hits.
• 48:02
  That's insane. So yeah, that's disgusting.
• 48:06
  You would hope the the with the deployment that he has, you
• 48:08
  would hope that the points could be higher, but he's averaging
• 48:10
  like half a point per game. So that's like one point every
• 48:12
  two games, which is nothing to write home about.
• 48:14
  And the power play exposure is not really there because it's LA
• 48:17
  and they have one of the worst power plays.
• 48:19
  But the Banks are just so elite that like on that night where he
• 48:22
  gets you three shots, three hits and a goal or an assist, you're
• 48:27
  like, this guy is insane. He had.
• 48:29
  A really rough two weeks where he had like 9 shots and four
• 48:32
  hits. Yes, exactly.
• 48:35
  And two probably minutes. Yeah, so I I think I figured, I
• 48:40
  figured out what happened in 2020.
• 48:44
  They dropped Friday situation they.
• 48:46
  Drafted the wrong Alex Laugh 1st overall.
• 48:50
  I mean, Lafreniere just got a three, three-point night against
• 48:54
  me also this week. So we're all talking about the
• 48:57
  laughs being bad and, and whatever, they're all turning up
• 49:02
  against me, so. You know what that guy should
• 49:03
  the guy you're playing, he should change his name to just
• 49:05
  for laughs. Yeah, I think he's sick name.
• 49:09
  He has both laughs on his team like.
• 49:12
  I don't listen if he's listening and he gets inspiration like I.
• 49:15
  I might message him. Do you know your team name?
• 49:19
  Dude just for laughs. That's actually sick.
• 49:22
  I want both of them on my roster now just to be able to do that.
• 49:25
  Alright, yeah, so if you have a laugher near for some reason and
• 49:29
  you pick up last year for good reason, then there's a team name
• 49:31
  for you. But let's go into the let's go
• 49:35
  into the goalies section. But that was a really good list
• 49:38
  of bangers. I think I would be happy to have
• 49:40
  all five of those guys on my team.
• 49:41
  So let's go to quantity. Goalies.
• 49:44
  You guys should get you 2 plus starts under 40% owned.
• 49:46
  As always, we will start with. #3.
• 49:52
  At #3 we have Alex Nedeljkovic of the San Jose Sharks.
• 49:56
  You might be wondering why are we recommending a backup for two
• 49:59
  starts? The reason is that they have two
• 50:01
  back to backs this coming week. So you get 2 guaranteed starts.
• 50:04
  They're playing one of the back to backs is Columbus LA very
• 50:07
  happy with both those matchups. The other ones, Dallas, Vegas,
• 50:09
  less happy about both those matchups.
• 50:11
  But fact is, the Sharks have been buzzing.
• 50:13
  They are on a three-game win streak.
• 50:14
  They're close to a playoff spot as JQ predicted.
• 50:18
  And and no, even Jay didn't put them this.
• 50:22
  Actually, I think he had them like 6.
• 50:23
  Then we were like, you're crazy. But but yeah.
• 50:26
  No, they're doing really well right now.
• 50:27
  So so I think this is a solid if you need the quantity and they
• 50:30
  let a lot of shots again, still you should get a lot of a lot of
• 50:33
  saves. Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely
• 50:35
  worried about that second game. I think like San Jose is always
• 50:40
  susceptible to getting lit up in matchups like that.
• 50:44
  I almost rather he played Vegas in Dallas because I feel like
• 50:46
  Vegas is less intimidating than Dallas.
• 50:48
  So I feel the odds are he will play that game and also like the
• 50:52
  week after settles, it also has A2 game week.
• 50:56
  Like it's one of the they're one of two teams have two game week
• 50:59
  and that two game week is also back-to-back.
• 51:02
  So it's like this in week 14, they have four games
• 51:06
  back-to-back and back-to-back and the week after they have a
• 51:08
  back-to-back. So it's just like the team is
• 51:10
  only playing back-to-back at this point.
• 51:12
  But it's like a Seattle in a similar spot, actually.
• 51:15
  They've been playing nonstop active acts.
• 51:17
  Yeah, it's, it's, I wonder if there's what are the pros and
• 51:19
  cons of that situation? Like are the players like more,
• 51:23
  less, less, less well rested so they perform worse?
• 51:28
  Or is it like they have the momentum and if they played well
• 51:30
  the next game like they have a chance to do even better?
• 51:33
  I wonder. Yeah, I generally assume that
• 51:35
  like a team coming off of back-to-back, if they're playing
• 51:37
  against the team that's not that they're disadvantaged because
• 51:40
  they're tired, but we've definitely.
• 51:42
  Seen always the case. Though no, that's it.
• 51:44
  We've seen it go both ways. It's kind of like a similar
• 51:45
  discussion with like the playoffs, right?
• 51:46
  It's like, oh, like are you more happy if you swept your opponent
• 51:49
  and they've been chilling for a week while your next opponent
• 51:52
  goes to seven? Or would you rather be the team
• 51:53
  that went to seven and now you're fresh and going in?
• 51:55
  So like definitely both arguments can be made, but
• 51:57
  either way will get you guaranteed 2 starts this week.
• 52:02
  Yep. OK, let's go to. #2.
• 52:07
  Now I wouldn't recommend to spend $7.00 fab on this guy, but
• 52:10
  he should get you multiple colours for this coming week.
• 52:13
  And that is Levi Merlinian of the Ottawa Senators.
• 52:17
  They play Detroit, then a back-to-back of Utah, Colorado
• 52:20
  and then Florida. So it's not particularly easy
• 52:22
  matchups, but he's the volume starter as long as a big squishy
• 52:26
  leanness is on a leave of absence.
• 52:28
  So he'll get you the quantity for sure.
• 52:30
  Yeah, this is a pretty brutal week though, I guess.
• 52:34
  I I think that they're probably gonna the only win one of these
• 52:39
  games, but. Not really, I think.
• 52:41
  I think Ottawa could win all three, all four of these games.
• 52:44
  They could also lose all four of these.
• 52:46
  Games there's, there's one of those situations.
• 52:48
  The Colorado is just like a wagon wouldn't.
• 52:50
  Be Solido only has two regulation losses this year.
• 52:53
  OK, I would be shocked if it happens, but they could win all
• 52:57
  three of the other games. No, for sure.
• 52:59
  But the other thing is that like it's quality wise to Jake's
• 53:02
  point is like if they win, it'll probably be like 5-4 or
• 53:04
  something like that. So you know, the quality might
• 53:07
  not be the best, but he could should get you wins.
• 53:09
  He should get you a ton of saves and he's just the starter until
• 53:11
  Linus is out. So we we still like Ottawa as a
• 53:14
  team and, and so he's a solid pickup for that reason.
• 53:18
  Yeah, don't forget, guys, we're talking about goals that are
• 53:20
  less than 40% raw food, which I don't say there's not a lot of
• 53:23
  options, but obviously the main guys that are worthy of being
• 53:27
  picked up are not being considered on this list because
• 53:30
  they're in 40%. So Merlin is like one of the
• 53:32
  only starters, starters that is currently, you know, the 1A with
• 53:36
  nobody behind him in his situation for an Ottawa team
• 53:39
  that is winning more than losing currently.
• 53:42
  So listen, we'll see if that keeps up.
• 53:44
  We talked about this on a recent episode as well.
• 53:46
  But like I'm not expecting the best.
• 53:48
  I'll use probably hover around 900 or slightly below and maybe
• 53:52
  when like 50% of his games. Yeah.
• 53:57
  Yeah, wait. Which isn't.
• 53:58
  Which isn't bad, yeah. If you constraint on a week that
• 54:00
  you need the goalie starts, that's that's really good.
• 54:03
  Yeah. OK, let's go to.
• 54:07
  Number one. At #1 we have the current
• 54:10
  starting goalie for the hottest team in the NHL on a 10 game win
• 54:16
  streak. As everyone predicted, we've got
• 54:18
  ooh go back to Lucan in of the Buffalo Sabres who is playing
• 54:23
  against Vancouver Rangers and Anaheim.
• 54:26
  These are all great matchups. I'm not scared of any of these
• 54:28
  three teams and Buffalo has been an absolute wagon lately.
• 54:32
  UL has over 50% win percentage this year.
• 54:36
  He has a .903 save percentage under three goals against
• 54:39
  average. He's been killing it.
• 54:40
  The only thing to worry about is if Alex Lyon gets healthy
• 54:43
  because then he's gonna have to split the starts with him again.
• 54:45
  But until lines back UPS is the main starter for a team that's
• 54:48
  on a 10 game win streak. So this is a great pick up for
• 54:51
  the week. Yeah, the Buffalo as well.
• 54:53
  Like Darwin Streak as of this moment is what, 11?
• 54:56
  And I thought it was 10, but maybe it's 11.
• 54:59
  I think we all thought Dallas was gonna was gonna ruin their
• 55:02
  win streak and then they beat Dallas.
• 55:04
  So yeah, listen, this Buffalo team is maybe becoming something
• 55:08
  special. I don't know.
• 55:08
  But like, I would love to see the Buffalo Sabres make the
• 55:10
  playoffs. Maybe that's a hot take.
• 55:12
  I don't know. Because they're just a
• 55:13
  franchise. That field does everything wrong
• 55:15
  all the time. I feel like everyone roots for
• 55:16
  them because they're so bad. I think everybody wants them to
• 55:19
  be good because they're like another dog story, but like
• 55:23
  nobody likes nobody like the GM and the GM is now gone, so maybe
• 55:27
  we have a better time rooting for them now.
• 55:30
  I think the main issue for them is the owner, not the GM Mean I
• 55:33
  think went hand in hand. I think that the GM was kind of
• 55:35
  a yes man to the owner and the owner is one of those guys who
• 55:37
  gets too involved. I mean, I'm not going to say
• 55:39
  that. I feel like people in Buffalo
• 55:41
  are kind of hoping that a similar thing happens that
• 55:44
  happen in Ottawa. OK, you cannot say that.
• 55:46
  I'm not I'm not saying I'm hoping that.
• 55:48
  I'm saying the Buffalo fans may be hoping that like if I had to
• 55:51
  pick like, you know, the two worst ownerships in the league
• 55:53
  right now, it's got to be Buffalo and Vancouver.
• 55:55
  So I think that, you know, that's a big issue for them.
• 55:59
  But ownership finally hired a new GM.
• 56:02
  It seems like he might not be a yes man for them.
• 56:04
  He might be allowed to make his own decisions.
• 56:07
  So and they're on a 10 game slash, 11 game win streak.
• 56:10
  So it's a it's pretty exciting time.
• 56:12
  Wffi mean, I just picked up Josh Stone for two fab because even
• 56:15
  though he hasn't necessarily been that hot lately, I still
• 56:18
  believe in him as a player with that line partly on deployment
• 56:20
  and just what Buffalo's been doing has been way too good.
• 56:23
  So so I'm interested to see how long they can keep this up.
• 56:28
  Yeah, he's he's fantastic to own while Lions out 100%.
• 56:32
  And I mean the last update I saw is that line was was like, I
• 56:38
  think a little bit more than day-to-day, but not necessarily
• 56:41
  like anything long term. So I mean Lion one basically all
• 56:45
  of his games before getting hurt.
• 56:47
  So it's tough, right, But so is UPL.
• 56:51
  It's just the line got the quote unintended Lion share of the
• 56:55
  story. Yeah, I I look honestly look the
• 56:59
  last three games, 963955 and 966 save percentage for upl
• 57:03
  ridiculous. That's nuts.
• 57:05
  He's let in only one goal in those three games like each
• 57:09
  game. But still, it's fantastic and
• 57:11
  it's a great week to pick him up.
• 57:13
  Yeah, OK, let's go to our top three quality goalies.
• 57:17
  These are ones who should get you one good match up.
• 57:19
  Again, under 40% owned. Let's start with. #3.
• 57:25
  At #3 We have Casey de Smith of the Dallas Stars.
• 57:28
  Now. He doesn't have the easiest
• 57:29
  match up. He's playing Carolina and
• 57:31
  Washington. And I know that his last game or
• 57:33
  two have actually not been that great.
• 57:35
  It's just hard not to want to recommend a Dallas, a Dallas
• 57:39
  start. Even if they've been on a bit of
• 57:40
  a bit of a slow streak. They're still probably the
• 57:43
  second best team in the league after Colorado.
• 57:45
  And the Smith, other than his most recent stretch, has been
• 57:48
  really solid. Over the season.
• 57:49
  He has 60%, one percentage under 3, two goals, just average and
• 57:54
  save percentage of .912 on the season.
• 57:57
  It's hard to hard not to recommend a guy like that when
• 57:59
  he's gonna get you a *. When you wanna spot start like
• 58:03
  this, you wanna stream it on a team that's going to win the
• 58:06
  game. And I think Dallas is, like you
• 58:09
  said, only second to Colorado in terms of like how confident that
• 58:12
  would be putting my life in their hands to win a game, You
• 58:15
  know, So we're we're moving on from the house now, gun to my
• 58:20
  head and I'll get it. We're not just couldn't find
• 58:26
  himself in these these fantasy hockey.
• 58:27
  Situations. Yeah, he's always do.
• 58:30
  Or die. Alright, well, OK.
• 58:37
  OK, let's go to. #2. At #2 We've got the man whose
• 58:43
  hips don't lie, Akira Akira, Akira Schmidt of the Vegas
• 58:47
  Golden Knights. They're playing Saint Louis and
• 58:50
  San Jose Saint Louis. I am so not scared of San Jose
• 58:54
  can have offence because of Macklin, but it's still San
• 58:57
  Jose. It's still Vegas.
• 58:59
  You gotta you're hoping for the Saint Louis start, but you're
• 59:02
  happy with either 1 he has over. He has a 55% one percentage on
• 59:05
  the season and he'll he'll be pretty solid close to 900 save
• 59:08
  percentage as well. Let me ask you.
• 59:12
  Yeah, go ahead. OK, Wanna ask both of you, do
• 59:16
  you think because we talked about in previous episodes the
• 59:19
  process with goalies, you're always trying to, you know, pick
• 59:21
  up for your matchup, but also in the back of your mind you always
• 59:25
  want to have like the longevity of it too?
• 59:26
  I know you're. Gonna we saw Carter heartbeat
• 59:28
  awful now is it Is it in the back of your mind that maybe
• 59:31
  sweet kind of like pulls away with getting more of the 1A
• 59:34
  starts? Is that like in the realm of
• 59:36
  possibilities? I think.
• 59:38
  So honestly, I, I don't know, I, I feel like Akira's hips have
• 59:42
  sadly been lying also as of late.
• 59:45
  So he's like, look, last game he let in four goals on 19 shots to
• 59:51
  lose to Nashville. That's that's pretty bad.
• 59:53
  Not to say that heart was any better in his most recent
• 59:56
  starts. But it was like.
• 59:57
  Hold my I mean, yeah, exactly. Like they're, they're honestly
• 1:00:01
  just both bad. That's the truth.
• 1:00:04
  And I think they're more inclined to try to make it work
• 1:00:07
  with heart. So I I don't think that's a
• 1:00:10
  concern yet for heart owners. Nevertheless, I I don't think
• 1:00:14
  it's impossible if it's like 2 more weeks of horrendous
• 1:00:17
  performances. But like I think he's got a two
• 1:00:19
  week runway to be still the one I there Carter Hart.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, I think there's some situations where you're like,
• 1:00:26
  this is literally impossible. He's never gonna unseat the
• 1:00:28
  other guy. And there's some situations
• 1:00:30
  where it's like it's unlikely, but it could happen.
• 1:00:32
  So I put the categorize this as a it's unlikely, but it could
• 1:00:35
  happen. So that's kind of like that
• 1:00:37
  slight upside you're always looking for.
• 1:00:38
  But I agree with Jake. I don't think I think they want
• 1:00:41
  to make it work with heart. So unless he just keeps letting
• 1:00:43
  in like 4 goals on nine shots and every game then then Akira
• 1:00:46
  is going to be the backup. Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  I think it's just completely performance based.
• 1:00:51
  I think I don't have any allegiance to Carter Heart
• 1:00:54
  specifically. So if if Schmid is since early
• 1:00:58
  outplaying him, I think they'll just roll with it.
• 1:00:59
  Like Vegas is just ruthless like that.
• 1:01:01
  They don't have allegiances to anybody.
• 1:01:03
  No, So I I'm with you there. It's just that they've both been
• 1:01:06
  bad. Yeah.
• 1:01:07
  So it's like, it's like Shahid has to actually perform like,
• 1:01:10
  well, and he hasn't been. So it's like if they're both
• 1:01:13
  bad, they're gonna prefer heart until they're like, OK, we can't
• 1:01:17
  keep doing this. Let's give Schmid the chance.
• 1:01:20
  That's kind of where I'm at. Yeah, I agree.
• 1:01:23
  Or maybe this next situation is in the same boat because we're
• 1:01:26
  going to talk about. Number one at #1 we have Phillip
• 1:01:31
  Grubauer of the Seattle Crack and I never thought I would be
• 1:01:34
  recommending Phillip Grubauer in the year of our Lord 2026.
• 1:01:39
  Happy new Year, everyone. But this is, it's, it's crazy
• 1:01:42
  what he's been doing. First of all, the matchup is
• 1:01:44
  Calgary in Boston. So he's going to get one of
• 1:01:46
  those. I'm happy with both those
• 1:01:47
  matchups. Seattle's been chugging along
• 1:01:50
  group hours, been sick in the past 2-3 weeks.
• 1:01:53
  I don't think he has a single bad game.
• 1:01:55
  They've all been unreal. He's living like one or two
• 1:01:56
  goals Max. He's got 50, four, 1% percentage
• 1:02:00
  on the season, .919 save percentage, 2.3, two goals
• 1:02:03
  against average. He's just been on fire.
• 1:02:05
  And as you know, I'm a decored owner and I'm like maybe I
• 1:02:09
  shouldn't be, you know, excited That group is doing this well,
• 1:02:12
  but luckily the courts also doing really well.
• 1:02:13
  I think Seattle is just doing well.
• 1:02:15
  It's their goals are definitely helping them by playing amazing.
• 1:02:18
  But Seattle just seems to be on a roll right now.
• 1:02:20
  So you definitely want to pick up a goalie of a team who's
• 1:02:22
  rolling like this, especially with the performance he's
• 1:02:24
  putting up and with the matchups going up against.
• 1:02:27
  I'm in Seattle has won five of their last six games.
• 1:02:30
  The core group bars last three games.
• 1:02:32
  He has like a 96976 and a 960 something.
• 1:02:35
  Yeah. So they're winning.
• 1:02:37
  But if you look at who they were playing, they played Anaheim,
• 1:02:40
  Nashville and Philly. So it's not like it's like the
• 1:02:43
  highest the highest competition either.
• 1:02:44
  And then the Cord played Vancouver, Vancouver and LA.
• 1:02:48
  So it's not it's not like I think they're doing an easy run
• 1:02:51
  of matchups right now. And those are all on back to
• 1:02:53
  backs too. So that's why they're kind of
• 1:02:54
  splitting the one-on-one. So now we're entering a point in
• 1:02:57
  time where we're going to see if there's a split happening here
• 1:03:01
  or if it's just the back to backs.
• 1:03:03
  But if the quality is like this, then both are going to be viable
• 1:03:06
  goalies for fantasy hockey. You just have to tap your
• 1:03:09
  expectation in terms of like how many stars are getting from each
• 1:03:11
  one. But I mean, right now I feel
• 1:03:14
  there's no better team to stream from until you know the the
• 1:03:18
  results are dying down. Yeah.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah, for the quality, it's on a Monday, Tuesday, Calgary in
• 1:03:24
  Boston like that. That's a really good start to
• 1:03:26
  the week. But then they play Minnesota and
• 1:03:28
  Carolina, so that's a test. Like that's really when we could
• 1:03:31
  see, OK, can this team actually keep it up versus legit teams?
• 1:03:34
  Because and who are they putting in those matchups?
• 1:03:36
  Yeah. Exactly I would lean the cord is
• 1:03:41
  gonna get both but hey, if Group Power does get one, Especially
• 1:03:45
  because they have 12 games over the next three weeks, you know
• 1:03:48
  it it could be it's not impossible that I'll actually
• 1:03:51
  get 2 games next week and I like.
• 1:03:52
  To see them splitting because it's been working for both of
• 1:03:54
  them, both goalies are playing at their optimal level, so maybe
• 1:03:58
  they just keep it going. I also like the court has had
• 1:04:01
  some injury trouble this year when they played him like 7
• 1:04:05
  games straight, so I think they're a bit wary of
• 1:04:07
  overplaying him. He's still clearly the starter,
• 1:04:10
  but I think it's less performance based if he gets
• 1:04:13
  less starts and more like wanting to make sure he doesn't
• 1:04:15
  get injured again. So I think that it like if I I
• 1:04:18
  still would be surprised that they're going 11 like 5050 rest
• 1:04:22
  of the season. Obviously this one stretch of a
• 1:04:23
  lot of back to backs it looks like that, but I wouldn't be
• 1:04:26
  surprised if they go like 2 in one for a while until I mean, I
• 1:04:29
  don't think I was gonna stay this good.
• 1:04:31
  So, but for now, he's a great stream, but I don't think, uh,
• 1:04:34
  long term he's gonna stay this good.
• 1:04:36
  But for now, I think it's gonna be more of a split.
• 1:04:40
  Yep. Yep.
