• 0:47
  you'll see what I'm gonna say. Spoilers Let's go over our
• 0:51
  reputation stickers from last week 3 Massive, massive W for
• 0:57
  Kevin's massive. Massive need to reiterate what
• 0:59
  our reputation stickers are. OK for some new listeners.
• 1:02
  That's fair. So basically we pick our three
• 1:06
  favorite guys to stream for this for the next week and
• 1:10
  essentially, you know, these guys play between three or four
• 1:13
  games. If they get at least two points,
• 1:15
  we consider that a win. It's our three basically guys
• 1:19
  that were we really think are gonna be the best streamers on
• 1:21
  the week. Do you recommend you guys?
• 1:22
  Pick up yeah Kevin necessarily Betz's house on it all the time
• 1:26
  I'm. Consistently getting my house
• 1:28
  and if we don't get any advice and I lose.
• 1:31
  My house we don't we don't endorse mortgaging your house
• 1:34
  for hockey bet purposes. That's.
• 1:36
  Not speak for yourself. But yeah, so it's.
• 1:39
  Not gambling if you listen to Bangor management.
• 1:45
  It's not gambling if you know you're going to win.
• 1:48
  Great movie. OK, R3 reputation takers from
• 1:52
  last week. We have J Peterka.
• 1:55
  Two goals, 4 assists, 6 points. Massive, massive win.
• 1:59
  Tyler Toffoli with two goals, 2 assists, that's also a win.
• 2:02
  And Turbo Huevo, Teravainen, whatever you want to call him.
• 2:06
  One goal, 3 assists, huge win. Whatever you want to call him,
• 2:09
  it's a win. The huge W our record on the
• 2:14
  season, so how many players we got?
• 2:16
  A win is 2 plus points and a loss would be anything less than
• 2:21
  two points on a week. We have a 32 and 13 record.
• 2:25
  Huge. Absolutely massive.
• 2:28
  Pretty Woman. Huge.
• 2:30
  What? What big mistake?
• 2:32
  Huge. Thank you, Josh.
• 2:36
  Once again, Jake also misses the reference.
• 2:40
  Dang, JQ. Firstly, that's not English.
• 2:45
  Ohio. What?
• 2:46
  Alright, anyway, try to. Get it again with the white man.
• 2:50
  Oh my God. No.
• 2:54
  What? I just woke up and it's 2008.
• 2:57
  Harambe, sorry. OK, let's get this started.
• 3:02
  Two teams to avoid this week, we got Detroit Red Wings and San
• 3:06
  Jose Sharks. They have two games this week.
• 3:10
  That is so not Raven. So yeah, you could avoid them.
• 3:13
  First week of your playoffs, many of your leagues very risky
• 3:16
  to hold. Guys, I mean, I drop a lot of
• 3:18
  guys around those teams. You're in your first week of
• 3:20
  your playoffs. If you don't have a bye week
• 3:22
  like this is a must win matchup. You can't really hold on to guys
• 3:24
  that are not going to be good for you this week.
• 3:27
  Josh is giving me a look. Yeah.
• 3:28
  I don't know why. Yeah, he's also nodding his head
• 3:32
  right now. I also don't know.
• 3:33
  Why you can't drop the superstars like Dylan Larkin
• 3:35
  sticking around on your team, that's for sure.
• 3:38
  You know, guys like Macklin Celebrity, I wouldn't be too
• 3:41
  eager to drop him either, of course, but these guys, you
• 3:45
  know? Are you dropping everybody
• 3:47
  that's not named celebrity? Josh, you're awfully quiet.
• 3:52
  Yeah, Josh. Yeah, and I got absolutely
• 3:55
  fleeced in a trade with Kevin and.
• 3:57
  You sent me the trade. You suggested.
• 3:59
  It you, you're like alright Kev, I'm ready to do this.
• 4:02
  You're the author is like midnight on the.
• 4:04
  Trade deadline. And I hadn't made a trade in
• 4:06
  like months. So I got antsy Benewah and made
• 4:09
  an awful trade. But I think, I think even though
• 4:12
  pride is going to make me not want to drop back once I traded
• 4:15
  for him, I think it's probably the right move.
• 4:16
  You gotta, you gotta drop A2 game week guy.
• 4:18
  You gotta make it through that week and make it to the next.
• 4:20
  If if San Jose played early in the week, I'd say maybe hold for
• 4:23
  a game or two. Yeah, but I think they're they
• 4:26
  start the week off at like 3 or 4 days off.
• 4:29
  Yeah, they don't play anything until like, Thursday.
• 4:30
  So you can't talk to hold a guy that's empty on Ross when he
• 4:33
  could have had like 2-3 games on your team by that point?
• 4:35
  Yeah, like Will Smith to Foley. These guys are like honestly
• 4:39
  nice guys to have is just you can't hold them on A2 game week.
• 4:41
  Yeah, you can get more value streaming mediocre guys, just
• 4:45
  more quantity. Yeah, and most of them, they're
• 4:47
  not gonna get picked up right away.
• 4:49
  Yeah, exactly. So you may have the opportunity
• 4:50
  to just pick them back up after. Exactly, exactly.
• 4:53
  And yeah, Detroit is a bit tougher, I guess, like just, and
• 4:59
  then we'll dive into it. Would you draw Patrick Kane if
• 5:02
  you have him? He's been, really.
• 5:03
  Good two game week. I'd be open to dropping him two
• 5:06
  game week in the playoffs. It's just tough to to over make
• 5:10
  up that value when you can stream like 5 or 6 games out of
• 5:12
  that raw. Spot Detroit plays on Tuesday
• 5:14
  and they don't play until Saturday.
• 5:15
  Hold on. And then drop.
• 5:17
  Him with one game between Tuesday to the rest of the week
• 5:20
  like that, you can't hold on to that.
• 5:21
  Yeah, pretty much All in all formats.
• 5:23
  Larkin, Sider, Celebri of the three guys from these two teams
• 5:27
  that like you just don't drop them, Yeah, because then they're
• 5:29
  gonna get picked up automatically.
• 5:31
  Breakout did ranked as well I would say.
• 5:34
  Lucas Raymond, Yeah, yes. OK, what about that?
• 5:37
  Yeah, I'm sorry. Wow.
• 5:38
  Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I was more focused on San
• 5:40
  Jose, but yeah, there there's a few guys on Detroit that are are
• 5:43
  you gotta. Keep.
• 5:43
  I think those are all the guys that you don't drop.
• 5:45
  Yeah, during Kid Larkin, Sider, Raymond, everybody else's drop
• 5:50
  worthy. I mean everybody else, I don't
• 5:51
  think even roster to be honest. We saw Patrick Kane.
• 5:55
  OK, and the busy nights this coming week, Tuesday, Thursday
• 6:00
  and Saturday. Let's start off with our best
• 6:04
  streaming options in guys own between 30 and 40% of leagues on
• 6:08
  Yahoo. Yeah, so these are some guys for
• 6:10
  points powerfully points shots. So 30 to 4040% owned.
• 6:14
  You got Ryan O'Reilly, Nick Schmaltz, Dmitri Voronkov, Pavel
• 6:18
  Dora. PHEV had infantile Josh Scores
• 6:22
  and Jenner. Josh who?
• 6:26
  It's called scores because you just scored tonight, proving the
• 6:30
  haters like Kevin wrong. Yeah, a lot of hater.
• 6:32
  I like this a lot. Faster than a lover, though I'm
• 6:39
  only one person's lover, and his name is John Cena.
• 6:46
  Say Jason Zucker. Thousands of change my mind.
• 6:50
  Anyways, let's get into the good streamers.
• 6:52
  Were shots, points, PowerPoint points.
• 6:54
  Yeah. We already got into that, Kevin.
• 6:56
  Yeah. You're like.
• 6:57
  The AI is lagging a. Bit I would just reiterating
• 7:00
  what category we're talking about.
• 7:02
  Yeah, so I like these guys a lot.
• 7:05
  Adam Fantilli. He's been awesome, really.
• 7:07
  Exciting. Fantastic, Tilly.
• 7:09
  That was not your best. Friend.
• 7:13
  Hasn't been the same. I haven't had.
• 7:17
  Yeah, I I do like the fact that, you know, you got O'Reilly and
• 7:22
  Josh Norris four games this week out of this group, so that's
• 7:25
  really nice. Boone Jenner has been amazing
• 7:28
  for points. Exactly.
• 7:30
  Also a stud for Bangor leagues, so kind of dual purpose there.
• 7:34
  And Dorothy's kind of a wild card.
• 7:38
  You don't really know what you're gonna get from.
• 7:40
  Him Some weeks he's the goat and some weeks he's not.
• 7:43
  Where the three? Options.
• 7:46
  The game we can playing on the busy nights.
• 7:48
  He's my least favorite in this group.
• 7:50
  Yeah, it's sad to say because I have him.
• 7:52
  Same with Nick Schmaltz. I guess I put them in the same
• 7:54
  category. But mainly here I'd focus on
• 7:56
  Adam Fantilli and Josh Norris. I don't know why he's available
• 8:01
  in this many leagues. I mean, I guess he's a pure
• 8:03
  really talked about that before. But I mean, Norris, I mean, we
• 8:06
  have mixed feelings. I definitely come around more
• 8:08
  off the pod since we've talked about them, I think.
• 8:11
  What a guy scoring one goal dude.
• 8:13
  I'm all in guys. Especially my house changed.
• 8:17
  His last name to scores. Yeah, but I think after the
• 8:20
  trade is gonna get significantly better deployment had on Ottawa,
• 8:23
  right. We've already touched on this,
• 8:25
  but his Bangor categories haven't really been up to par
• 8:28
  with what he's been doing in his career on Ottawa.
• 8:31
  But I'm sure we're gonna see that turn turn tides recently.
• 8:35
  I was gonna say soon. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:36
  I mean, I like Norris a lot especially.
• 8:38
  Since the four games. Four games on off nights, he's
• 8:40
  got line one power play on deployment.
• 8:42
  He's definitely my top of this list, but Fantilli and Jenner I
• 8:45
  think are really close seconds for me.
• 8:48
  Cool, so least Nishmat's and Nora fave are your least?
• 8:52
  Favorites. Yeah, and even O'Reilly.
• 8:53
  I know he's got four games, but Predators are just awful.
• 8:56
  Yep, Yep. OK.
• 8:57
  Then we got some guys from 10 to 30% owned, so I'll group few of
• 9:02
  them for you. So we've got Connor Garland,
• 9:04
  Kent Johnson, Logan Stankovic in Troy Terry, Toivo Torvinen.
• 9:08
  Turbo. Yeah, it's turbo time.
• 9:11
  I think Stan covens a very fun option here.
• 9:14
  Not. My favorite is Turbo.
• 9:16
  Yeah, for reliability, yes, Stankovic's got on zero floor
• 9:20
  because on a rod team we've spoken about this extensively.
• 9:23
  Just a disaster but a high ceiling because he's a young
• 9:26
  skilled player. So he's also got 4 teams.
• 9:28
  Yeah, no, no, Teravainen has four games was terrible.
• 9:32
  Not Stankovic. Oht No.
• 9:33
  Yeah, Turbos got four games, Are you?
• 9:35
  OK. I thought I was.
• 9:36
  I said I like turbo. I said you got 4.
• 9:38
  Games. Alright, let's go over our
• 9:39
  favorite waiver wire pickups. Good for shot boys, power play
• 9:45
  boys, all that good stuff. Also, by the way, if Dixon Zuki
• 9:49
  is hanging. Let me just put it this way
• 9:55
  yeah, I know from this group terminating is the clear pic
• 9:57
  with the he's the one of these five who has four games and he's
• 10:00
  been doing the best Stankovic. I like his lottery ticket, but
• 10:03
  he could do nothing for you. I just.
• 10:04
  On Rod's team, like we've seen better players have his spot and
• 10:07
  not succeed. So I'm not I'm not putting my
• 10:09
  chips in Stankova when I can have alternative options.
• 10:12
  Troy Terry thing, my least favorite out of here just
• 10:14
  because he has like 0 category coverage.
• 10:16
  Yeah, stop shooting. So he's really got nothing going
• 10:19
  on. Great deployment, but I feel
• 10:20
  like he's like a Ken Johnson with slightly less on a slightly
• 10:24
  less exciting team, even though I know it's kind of fun right
• 10:27
  now. Yeah, but yeah, this is funnier.
• 10:29
  Garland too, as long as a lot of P1, I still have some value.
• 10:31
  Like we've seen him kind of roller coaster in value recently
• 10:35
  because Vancouver's just a bleep show.
• 10:37
  So yeah, it just blew myself. Yeah, there we go.
• 10:42
  I'm learning. Yeah.
• 10:42
  But anyway, from this group, I think is clearly a turbo.
• 10:45
  And then the rest are, you know, OK options.
• 10:47
  Yeah, Yeah. And we've got Mason, Lower Eye
• 10:49
  Jason Zucker, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Pavel Zacha, Morgan
• 10:52
  Geekie. Love Bjorkstrand here.
• 10:54
  So these are all four-game week, yeah.
• 10:55
  Pretty much all five of these guys play four games.
• 10:57
  Four games and off nights. Yeah.
• 10:59
  So this is a really nice. These flashy names.
• 11:03
  Yeah, that's another thing. Less flashy names.
• 11:05
  Used pickups, yes, there go under the radar, but also
• 11:11
  they're more effective. 3/5 of the power plant 1 is on the
• 11:16
  waivers right now. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:17
  So. Crazy to think about.
• 11:19
  That Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 11:20
  How the media falling. Yeah.
• 11:21
  Seriously is a Habs fan. I love it.
• 11:23
  Yeah. Yeah, Zucker's been good all.
• 11:25
  Year, yeah, I think Zucker has got to be the best one just
• 11:28
  because of the fact that he's been doing it all year.
• 11:31
  As long as output one, that's literally what gives them the
• 11:34
  most value, yeah. Exactly.
• 11:36
  Bjorkstrand recently got moved to power play one.
• 11:38
  That's like if he's on there, it's awesome, that's one of the
• 11:41
  best player in the league, but we don't know if it's going to
• 11:43
  stick so. It's your turn on news episode
• 11:45
  earlier in the week, so go take a listen to that if you want
• 11:48
  more info on that. But he's we'll have to see where
• 11:50
  his deployment kind of rests. But the nice thing is.
• 11:53
  High ceiling out of all these. Guys, the nice thing is that he
• 11:55
  got moved on to Power Play 1 like this week, right?
• 11:57
  Yeah. So if he lasts on there until
• 11:59
  next week, yeah, then chances are he should last on there for
• 12:02
  that week as well, you know? So like, well, no, by Sunday
• 12:05
  night when you're making your pickups for Monday, you
• 12:07
  shouldn't know if this is like an actual thing going forward or
• 12:10
  if it was a blip. And then Morgan Geekie, I think
• 12:13
  we've mentioned a bunch of times the past couple weeks, he's just
• 12:15
  really good in bangers and he's got that deployment.
• 12:17
  Combined that with a four-game week and and two off nights and
• 12:20
  I like him a lot as a pickup. And Mason will rise probably
• 12:22
  like your best pick up in terms of like defenseman that can be
• 12:25
  has some people one exposure. He's really good for blocks too.
• 12:28
  Yeah. So that's nice.
• 12:30
  It's like a good little foundation for value in terms of
• 12:32
  category leagues. In points leagues, I feel like I
• 12:35
  maybe wouldn't take the shot necessarily, but he's still
• 12:40
  listen. There's not many guys on waivers
• 12:42
  that are on P1 as a defenseman so.
• 12:44
  Right then we've got Kyle Palmeri, Warren Fogel, Shane
• 12:48
  Pinto and Shane Wright. These are.
• 12:50
  The Jets category. Yeah.
• 12:52
  Yeah, I love this fan favorite. I love this one.
• 12:54
  Yeah. I mean I think the best of these
• 12:56
  4 is pretty palmary I think just based on deployment.
• 12:59
  Alone, the one guy on like, yeah, no, you're right though.
• 13:04
  I mean, definitely for reliability and stuff.
• 13:07
  I mean, he took Anders Lee spot. If he keeps it, it's really
• 13:10
  valuable because it's the best deployment you can get on the
• 13:12
  Islanders. Four goals, kind of always here
• 13:15
  and there. Depends on when you're
• 13:16
  streaming, yeah. Like I didn't wanna like include
• 13:19
  him because he's line through power play too, but he's just
• 13:20
  been putting up really solid. Numbers, he's been so good yeah,
• 13:23
  so. Good keeping them up so he's
• 13:25
  passed them. Off.
• 13:26
  No, but he has. Lots of been really good and
• 13:29
  he's been putting up some points and The thing is we're looking
• 13:32
  at just one week, right? We don't need them.
• 13:33
  Four games too, so you're giving yourself some quantity.
• 13:36
  Yeah, I'm not as enthused about Pinto or right.
• 13:39
  No. They both only play three games
• 13:41
  and I don't love their their matchups so.
• 13:43
  Pinto I wouldn't pick up. Shane Wright.
• 13:45
  I feel like if you're in a really deep league, he has some
• 13:48
  people want exposure, it could be worth a shot.
• 13:50
  I think you have to rely on him more now that they traded away
• 13:53
  two other guys. But I'm not, I'm not super
• 13:56
  enthused by. It I'm not on either Shane
• 13:58
  train. Whoa.
• 14:01
  Yeah, Pinto is pretty buried in the lineup now, but I I like
• 14:05
  right, I mean, I don't know, not for obviously not out like
• 14:09
  compared to these other guys you mentioned, but he's been bumped
• 14:12
  up to line 2 now with McCann. So that's pretty good if you can
• 14:17
  crack that tall power play, which I don't think is
• 14:19
  impossible necessarily. It's already on the top power
• 14:21
  play. Bureau, Crosky, Eberle, Schwarz,
• 14:25
  McCann. Jumbled up first since.
• 14:27
  They're always jumbling it up, yeah.
• 14:29
  Also like neither one of those is a real power play.
• 14:30
  One night they played 5050 so doesn't really matter.
• 14:32
  Sure, but yeah, I don't know. I mean like, nothing to write
• 14:36
  home about, but he's been decent.
• 14:40
  And then we've got Mason Mctavish, Alex Classic, Hayton,
• 14:45
  Andre Kuzmenko and Mackie Samutsevich.
• 14:47
  Samutsevich. Yeah, he's.
• 14:50
  On fire, yeah. You see that game where you put
• 14:52
  up seven shots and six hits. And it goes disgusting.
• 14:55
  It's crazy he's on power play one on the Panthers, pretty much
• 14:58
  locked onto that spot somehow. I don't know where this guy.
• 15:01
  Came from how this happened. But I like him as a pickup a
• 15:04
  lot. Unfortunately three games, but
• 15:06
  still, I really like that because Manco we had discussed a
• 15:09
  bit on the news. OK, he's got a good he's got
• 15:11
  good deployment and a good schedule, but I don't think he's
• 15:13
  a good player. So you know, that's it's like
• 15:16
  kind of a lottery ticket. You know, you see if you can get
• 15:19
  some points, but he's not gonna get any back.
• 15:20
  Cats. You were mentioning Lowrie as
• 15:22
  like one of the few good power play 1 quarterbacks defensemen
• 15:26
  available. I think Alex classics another
• 15:28
  one of those guys kind of similar similar tier.
• 15:30
  I'd be scared with him though. I really don't think leftovers
• 15:35
  taking classic off CarPlay one, no I don't.
• 15:36
  Think they just paid and they just traded away Seth.
• 15:40
  Need a guy to be the guy. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna
• 15:43
  like let some rookie come in and like, it's not like classics
• 15:46
  like some old guy who like is not part of their future.
• 15:48
  Classic is part of their future as well.
• 15:49
  So I think he's he's got a lock on that spot.
• 15:51
  It's one of those things that if they're like not really
• 15:54
  competing anymore. Obviously, might as well give it
• 15:55
  a shot. Type of thing.
• 15:56
  Yeah, that's what I'm worried. About it's not impossible, but I
• 15:59
  still think probably want to give the reps to Vlasic to just
• 16:02
  develop more and develop some chemistry with Bedard and.
• 16:04
  Whatnot that's. Fair, I don't this category
• 16:07
  though. I think the best fantasy player
• 16:10
  is probably listen, we don't know what some of Savage can do
• 16:12
  long term, but Mactavish is I think is has the best reliable
• 16:18
  baseline. Kuzmenko I don't wanna pick up.
• 16:21
  Yeah, Vlasic, if you need a defenseman you know that has
• 16:24
  property supporter, he's one of your guys.
• 16:26
  He's been, really. Good, Peyton's been good too,
• 16:28
  but I just feel like every any given week you can just get
• 16:31
  totaled for sure. The most reliable, but I think
• 16:35
  the highest upside is Samutsevich.
• 16:36
  Sam. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:38
  That's how I feel. I don't.
• 16:40
  Would you, I don't know, you pick up like a summons gavage or
• 16:45
  Oliver Bjorkstrand? Oh, that's a good question.
• 16:48
  I'd probably go Samus Gavich. Only because I mean semi savage
• 16:52
  is spot on power play one is more locked in yeah like he's 0
• 16:56
  worry of him losing it. Whereas brick trance is very
• 16:57
  flimsy direction has the extra game on him next week so there's
• 17:01
  that. But that's tough.
• 17:05
  It's still like an ambiguous, Yeah, it's still like a you
• 17:08
  don't know where you're getting type of situation.
• 17:10
  Yeah, but you're guaranteed getting shots and hits from him.
• 17:12
  So that's. Why I like it better?
• 17:14
  I know this is mainly like he points, but still.
• 17:16
  With what we've seen him do, you know, in the last two or three
• 17:20
  weeks, it's like entering like league winner territory for
• 17:23
  bangers in terms of like deep leagues.
• 17:24
  He's 4% roster and he's like a walking double double.
• 17:27
  Yeah. Yeah, so.
• 17:29
  Yeah. So that's that's a really good.
• 17:31
  This is a deep cut for a lot of people.
• 17:33
  This is 96% of leases available. And I think there's a lot of
• 17:36
  people who would have ever heard his name listening to this pod.
• 17:39
  So something to look into if you're in deep fingers.
• 17:41
  Yes, he belongs in the under 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:45
  Sorry. It's just, no, no, it's not you.
• 17:47
  It's it's more like he's just too good to be in that.
• 17:50
  Yeah. Just studio is more roster.
• 17:52
  Yeah, it's, it's one of those, no, he's great.
• 17:54
  He's been doing super well. I would take him over Break I.
• 17:57
  Would it's done? That's why.
• 18:03
  OK, hilarious. Anyways, and then finally, some
• 18:06
  guys under 10%. We already mentioned sausage,
• 18:09
  but here's a few others. We've got Casey Middlestadt, Leo
• 18:12
  Carlson, Ryan Strome, Phillip Heidel, Darren Radish and Trevor
• 18:16
  Zachris. Oh, a lot of ducks on this in
• 18:20
  this percent. I think the Ducks is like an
• 18:22
  interesting spot where they're super exciting, right?
• 18:25
  Yeah, exactly. You got Emilio Estevez.
• 18:33
  Hello. You know, he might, he might
• 18:36
  miss on a penalty shot, but other than that, he's pretty
• 18:38
  solid. Like no, I like the the Ducks
• 18:43
  like they're, they're kind of like in an interesting spot
• 18:46
  where they've got a lot of young exciting guys.
• 18:49
  The team's exciting. They're not particularly good
• 18:51
  just yet, but they're on a fun run.
• 18:53
  The tough thing is that they have so many guys who on any
• 18:56
  given week can do well, but not one guy who is going to be the
• 18:59
  guy every week. So I feel like you're often like
• 19:01
  kind of like grasping at sand with them where like you'll
• 19:04
  chase the guy who just had a crazy week.
• 19:05
  Like I have included Colangelo on here also you know like the
• 19:08
  guy has like 5 goals in his last. 4 these.
• 19:10
  Were also, you know, like, yeah, exactly.
• 19:12
  So it's just like these guys keep popping up, but like, I
• 19:15
  feel like if you go chasing them, you know, like you're
• 19:17
  gonna grab them right after and some other dude is gonna be on.
• 19:20
  Fire that you don't get points for what they've done before you
• 19:22
  pick them. Up exactly.
• 19:23
  So like in terms of moving forward, which in terms of these
• 19:26
  three ducks at least, which one interests you guys the most?
• 19:30
  Leo Carlson. In.
• 19:35
  Yeah, I just, I mean, I think he's such a good player and like
• 19:39
  he. Is he definitely is the most
• 19:41
  highly touted prospect wise. Yeah, the only reason like I
• 19:47
  have Ryan Stroman roster, Yeah, I'm not trying to be biased, but
• 19:49
  I feel like he's just like the reliable veteran guy that's
• 19:52
  gonna be getting the the minutes and you know, exactly.
• 19:56
  I think the fact that he's like the face off guy on the team.
• 20:00
  Allows him to, you know, be on the ice more often than not, but
• 20:02
  he's not the most consistent guy either, right?
• 20:04
  Like he's not susceptible. He he is very susceptible to a
• 20:07
  full game of zeros besides faceoff wins.
• 20:09
  So, but that's kind of where getting all these guys
• 20:12
  basically. So if I had to put my money on
• 20:15
  one of them, it wouldn't be Leo Carlson.
• 20:21
  But I don't know who to pick. Cool.
• 20:25
  So that's going to help viewers a lot.
• 20:28
  I'm just really looking at them right now and I'm just like, I
• 20:30
  don't know. It's not.
• 20:32
  It's not Terry. It's not Leo Carlson, so that
• 20:36
  leaves wasn't true. I like.
• 20:38
  Yeah, Mctavish is definitely. I think can always lean.
• 20:41
  Towards I think we can all safely say Mctavish is the duck
• 20:43
  to pick up if all these guys are available.
• 20:45
  Yeah, and he doesn't necessarily have the best deployment either.
• 20:49
  Yeah. But yeah, just with Leo Carlson,
• 20:51
  he's gotten points in nine of his last 13 games.
• 20:54
  And the games that he didn't get points, pretty much, except for
• 21:00
  yeah. And two of those games you
• 21:02
  played under 15 minutes. So when they give him the
• 21:04
  minutes, he produces. Yeah, that's huge times they
• 21:06
  won't give. Him, yeah, but I don't know.
• 21:09
  I mean, I feel like as time goes on he just becomes more
• 21:11
  reliable. Is over the hump of I was.
• 21:14
  Mainly focusing on the. Under. 10 But yeah, Mctavish is.
• 21:18
  I mean look, I have them both like taking Mctavish but what
• 21:22
  about? Cutter Gautier like he's been
• 21:25
  pretty solid to. Another one you could throw.
• 21:26
  On The thing is he doesn't have the minutes.
• 21:28
  So you kind of like, OK, whatever he's doing, it won't be
• 21:30
  sustainable where if he's doing with 12 minutes.
• 21:32
  That's it. I think you just gotta go with
• 21:34
  the guys at the deployment. If it's this tough to choose
• 21:35
  between guys, you gotta go with the ones.
• 21:37
  With the but there's not much separated between Mctavish and
• 21:40
  Carlson to be honest. Like they're very fairly similar
• 21:42
  statistically. I picked the guys that are most
• 21:44
  likely to get power play points and I think it's me Tavish the
• 21:47
  most and then probably Carlson and then probably Terry.
• 21:51
  But Terry just has no no viability outside of assists.
• 21:55
  Yeah, the one thing about Colangelo is that you can make
• 21:58
  it. Nice.
• 21:58
  And he shoots and hits. Don't.
• 22:00
  Call my. Name MM Colangelo Sam, I know
• 22:09
  Michelangelo. OHS yeah.
• 22:15
  OK, if you want to pick up a ninja turtle then.
• 22:17
  You know who to go famous? We've also got middle.
• 22:22
  Stat who we mentioned on our news episode as well, but he's
• 22:25
  on power play one on Boston just got a power play goal.
• 22:27
  Another interesting 1. You know, like again, this guy
• 22:29
  was, you know, supposed to be a good prospect didn't really do
• 22:32
  much on Buffalo went to Colorado, had a really solid
• 22:35
  start this season, then didn't do much for a while.
• 22:37
  So maybe he'll have a nice finish this season.
• 22:39
  He's been really solid since being traded to Vancouver and
• 22:42
  then radishes keeps flip flopping with headman for power
• 22:45
  play 1. So.
• 22:46
  It's for sure. I think they recently started
• 22:49
  just. Locking and.
• 22:51
  Yeah, exactly. But I mean, they're just locking
• 22:52
  in. I don't know why Hagel doesn't
• 22:54
  end up on that piece. Crazy.
• 22:55
  But basically everybody that's supposed to be there is there.
• 22:58
  At this point, OK, so yeah, Radish is 1 where like you know,
• 23:02
  you keep an eye out. Maybe you know, Hedman was
• 23:04
  day-to-day earlier, who knows what happened.
• 23:06
  So keep an eye on that. But I think if admins on if he's
• 23:09
  not in power play one then you shouldn't pick up Radish.
• 23:12
  OK, let's move on to the Bangor streamers.
• 23:14
  All right. Oh, wait.
• 23:15
  Apologies. Oh yeah.
• 23:17
  The three reputation staggers. Alright, so our three for this
• 23:20
  week. We've got Josh Norris, Kevin's
• 23:22
  enemy, we've got Morgan Geeky and we've got Mackie
• 23:28
  Samutsevich. Last minute change.
• 23:31
  Maccabiah Mackey dying. Yeah, just so everyone knows.
• 23:35
  Wacky Macky? Yeah.
• 23:37
  Between. Yorktown and Samus Kevin was a
• 23:39
  really close one, but I think that that's the right choice,
• 23:43
  even with one less game. Yeah, I like Thomas Cabbage.
• 23:45
  Yeah, All right. Now to our Bangor streamers.
• 23:48
  So again, usual suspects. You've got Kiefer Sherwood,
• 23:51
  Jacob Trouba, Alex Romanov, Romanov.
• 23:55
  Sorry, Elias Lindholm, Will Cooley.
• 23:58
  That's fine. It's the Voronkov.
• 24:00
  That's OK. Sorry, sorry.
• 24:02
  Yeah, I mean, I'll finish the list.
• 24:04
  These are all guys we mentioned a time you've got Brayden Shen,
• 24:07
  Ely Tolvanen, Matthew Olivier, Luke Shen, Mark Kastelic and
• 24:11
  Martin Pospisil. Luke Schenn's first game on
• 24:13
  Winnipeg 5. 555 monster game. Yeah, definitely something.
• 24:16
  On banking on that happening again, but.
• 24:19
  Nothing. I will say like Luke, she's
• 24:21
  great at hits. If he couldn't get blocks too,
• 24:24
  yeah, then he becomes like a huge, yeah, great pickup.
• 24:27
  You know, like when it's just a hits guy that's like, OK, I
• 24:29
  wanna win that one cat, I'll pick him up, but he's not gonna
• 24:32
  do anything else. But once they start hitting like
• 24:33
  2 cats, then they become like really more viable.
• 24:35
  I really like Matthew Olivier. He's been like really, really
• 24:38
  good. He's putting, putting, putting
• 24:40
  up points too. He's now on line 2 with the
• 24:42
  Jenner and Johnson was like a really good line because he's
• 24:46
  just been unreal this year. He gets a ton of Pimms hits.
• 24:48
  He blocks shots. Like, really?
• 24:50
  Charlie Pirelli of the day. Yeah, and then, uh, Pasta still
• 24:53
  on Calgary is a four-game week Hilton.
• 24:57
  Yeah, yeah. So yeah, if you need this weight
• 24:59
  category like these guys are winning, you like category
• 25:01
  automatically. If you're in a Major League,
• 25:02
  these guys are probably rostered.
• 25:04
  A lot of these guys are, yeah. Yeah.
• 25:06
  But you know, you gotta take a look at this point and you're
• 25:08
  maybe, maybe opponents drop them to cover other categories to
• 25:12
  make the playoffs and you're able to capitalize on that and
• 25:14
  pick them up, just solidify your team and round that out.
• 25:17
  But Yep. Yep.
• 25:19
  All right, and let's move on to the goalies.
• 25:22
  So here are three goalies who will get at least two starts.
• 25:25
  We've got Elvis Presley, Akins, New Jersey, and then either
• 25:28
  Florida or Pittsburgh. Yeah, I've got some fun names on
• 25:30
  here for you. Cheeky one.
• 25:33
  We've got Spencer Knight. This is a new one.
• 25:34
  Obviously, with the trade going to Chicago.
• 25:37
  He's now the volume starter over there.
• 25:38
  He's gonna get Seattle, LA and then Saint Louis or Philly.
• 25:41
  I like that. And then we've got Tristan
• 25:44
  Jarry, who's come back from the dead.
• 25:47
  To pick him up, he literally walked in and said I think
• 25:49
  Pittsburgh can make the playoffs.
• 25:50
  He's on. He's on, Jerry, back-to-back.
• 25:51
  Yeah, just like I'm sold. Yeah, literally.
• 25:56
  He came back, had two games for Pittsburgh.
• 25:59
  I think he got like over like 948.
• 26:00
  Percentage refining the size of tank.
• 26:05
  Interested. Jerry comes up to save the day.
• 26:07
  Yeah, he's like, wow, dude, to ruin my team in every way
• 26:10
  possible. You know, OHS start off by being
• 26:12
  terrible. Let's get them out of playoff
• 26:14
  spot and then take them out of the top five.
• 26:16
  They can't do anything. Yeah, snake snapes like or
• 26:19
  double doors like Tristan after all this time and snaps like
• 26:22
  always. Harry Potter fans out there.
• 26:28
  And then haggards like you're a wizard, Jerry.
• 26:33
  OK, that was perfect. I'm a what?
• 26:40
  Fired. I wouldn't play along with it,
• 26:44
  but it starts with the swear words so quickly.
• 26:48
  Gary, you're wise. That was great.
• 26:54
  Non scripted if you believe it. Yeah, anyways, Jerry will
• 27:02
  playing Islanders, Columbus, Florida.
• 27:04
  He can easily get all three of those starts if he keeps playing
• 27:06
  this. Well, you might get rejected all
• 27:07
  three of those. Though that is true, that is a
• 27:09
  fun fact of the Jerry is you never know what you're gonna
• 27:11
  get. So he's like a boxer?
• 27:13
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 27:15
  And then go into some quality starts we've got.
• 27:18
  But wait, just before we move on to those who's your favorite?
• 27:20
  Here, Spencer night. Yeah, for sure, yeah.
• 27:23
  Starts. And I think, I think he's the
• 27:26
  best. Is he the best goalie here?
• 27:27
  I don't know. Elvis is.
• 27:29
  Elvis. Elvis.
• 27:30
  Better Elvis is New Jersey, Florida and Pittsburgh, OR.
• 27:35
  Florida, OR. Pittsburgh back-to-back.
• 27:36
  OK, OK, so he's probably my least favorite actually, weirdly
• 27:44
  enough. I agree.
• 27:45
  Date and then. Yeah, cause Night is playing
• 27:47
  against teams that don't score very much because maybe Saint
• 27:50
  Louis. Like they could.
• 27:51
  They could. They could have like LA is there
• 27:53
  is his toughest matchup and LA is just good defensively.
• 27:55
  You're not good at often. Exactly.
• 27:57
  LA is probably gonna beat them. Like 2-1, yeah.
• 27:59
  There you go Jarry, though I think I would take over him as
• 28:03
  likens this week. I think is a safer bet.
• 28:05
  It's just the game against Columbus on Florida, Like five.
• 28:08
  Yeah. And that ruins your week, right?
• 28:10
  And you're in the playoffs. Are you willing to stake your
• 28:13
  playoffs on Tristan? Jarry to be fair.
• 28:16
  I don't have the balls. For that, yeah, he did just put
• 28:18
  up two really good performances. I know, but it's, it's, it's
• 28:21
  like classic, you know, wonders rises from the dead gets 2 good
• 28:24
  days, people pick him up for their quarterfinals and he lets
• 28:27
  everybody down. Yeah.
• 28:28
  That's not gonna be me. Listen, I consider him.
• 28:32
  If you're reading this starts like, let's say you've been in a
• 28:34
  pickle the whole season. Like, you got Demco, you got all
• 28:36
  these guys that are hurt. I, I and you're desperate and
• 28:39
  these other guys are rostered. I think he's a he's a good start
• 28:42
  for for quantity. Yeah, but I'm prioritizing
• 28:45
  expense. Right.
• 28:46
  And Elvis Nurse Likins. Agreed.
• 28:47
  Fair enough. And then for quality starts,
• 28:49
  we've got Joel Hofer. He's gonna get either Chicago or
• 28:52
  Nashville super easy regardless. And then and Saint Louis is in
• 28:55
  the playoff hunt, so they're doing like going really hard.
• 28:57
  You've got Phillip Grubauer. He's gonna get Chicago or
• 29:00
  Minnesota. I put Minnesota actually like as
• 29:03
  a easy matchup because they've been so bad with the injuries of
• 29:06
  Kaprizov, Erickson, Eck. Yeah, they've literally like and
• 29:09
  not score a goal. I know because I have Boldy and
• 29:11
  Grill on my team and it sucks. Yep, that's true.
• 29:16
  Yeah, not a not a happy camper over here, but anyways,
• 29:18
  Minnesota sucks. So Chicago or Minnesota, I'm
• 29:20
  happy with either. And then you've got VTech
• 29:23
  Vanicek, who's going to get either Washington or Pittsburgh.
• 29:26
  Obviously it's way better if he gets Pittsburgh.
• 29:27
  That's a much easier matchup. But I mean, he's now on the
• 29:30
  Panthers. He put up a shutout his first
• 29:32
  game on the like. Him a lot on the.
• 29:33
  Pan, I think that's a really good like spot start.
• 29:35
  He's my favorite out of these three guys that you mentioned.
• 29:37
  Gruber is my least favorite just because he's the worst.
• 29:39
  Goalie. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:40
  Go Vantage. I feel like he's just, he's
• 29:44
  cooked. He's he's cooked.
• 29:45
  He's. Awful.
• 29:46
  He's not in the league anymore. Like, yeah, basically how I see
• 29:48
  him. Yeah, I will say about Vanicek,
• 29:50
  he has like 2 outs here. If he plays Pittsburgh, he could
• 29:53
  win. Yeah.
• 29:54
  And if he plays Washington with Lingren, he can win.
• 29:58
  Yeah, that's true. That's like something to keep an
• 30:00
  eye. On but I think Florida also did
• 30:04
  Washington. That's true 100%.
• 30:07
  Good enough team that like that's like you'd prefer
• 30:09
  Pittsburgh, but I think you're you're OK picking him up for
• 30:11
  either of. Those games, they would take
• 30:12
  Hofer over Thompson. Or VTech playing Thompson is
• 30:17
  what you're. Saying, yeah, that's.
• 30:19
  It yeah Chicago Nashville is such an easy matchup so.
• 30:22
  Exactly, and Hofer's like a really good spot starter he has
• 30:25
  been all year. Except when I picked him up, but
• 30:28
  that's. OK, Yeah.
• 30:29
  Let in three goals on nine shots, Josh.
• 30:31
  Now is not going to pick him up because he's been scarred by
• 30:32
  him. Therefore, you're all good
• 30:34
  listeners. Yeah.
• 30:37
