I will be dropping in the ranks soon enough

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I've gone from top 5 to near the bottom. I'm plumetting faster than Wylie E. Coyote from a cliff.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I have the feeling I will plummet soon enough also think your going to raise in the ranks quickly

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I'm guaranteed to lose either a goalie or Datsyuk & Lidstrom.

This is obviously rigged. Some of Sam's asterisks are required. *

Don't worry, I'll pass them all soon enough.

 

[dare2be]

Cracked the top 10! Look out folks!!

Looks over shoulder .... shrugs. meh

 

[dare2be]

You may be the only one I can't catch at this point. You better hope that the Flyers make it through this round, that's my only chance of catching you.

No kidding. I really need to continue to get points from Briere and Giroux.
Nasland and Gagne's team scare me a little as well.

 

[dare2be]

At this point, having the Lightning and Bruins win would benefit me the most, from a pool perspective, and from a sensibility perspective

no kidding, huh? i didn't even realize it

 

[sbb122]

I have a stranglehold on last place.... Niemi and Marleau are the only ones i have left.

Beat that Bitches!!!

Ha! Good one!

 

[elocomotive]

I noticed a lot of people talking about who and how many they have left. Just for a reference... these are the totals as of yesterday (from Ducky) and I added the number of players remaining for each team. Bold teams still have all 11 players. Included a few notes on teams that I made by comparing your team to those ahead of you with similar teams. It looks like there are about a dozen people still with a good chance to win and a few more with an outside shot to win. (and yes, I'm bored today )

Please note the comments have nothing to do with how I think players will perform, but whether you have enough different players to move past someone. Some teams are too split - meaning teams near them with a concentration on one another will move past them, whichever way it goes. Others are in great position now, but have only one player different and fewer players from someone ahead to make up ground. For example, my team may end up in the top 5 is Washington and Vancouver are in the final, but it's going to be near impossible for me to pass Ritari and Puck, who have very similar team makeups and relied on WAS/VAN as well.



postmaster 455.95 (11 left) - Almost sure high finish, may be hard to win with teams split
gagnefire12 433.6 (11 left) - Good chance to win with a Flyers/Nucks final
esls79 427 (3 left) - Eliminated with 2 more points earned by Sedins
naslundfan19 426.25 (11 left) - Puckhead likely passes if Caps/Neuvy have a deep run
jstducky09 425.3 (8 left) - Needs big points from Bruins and a deep Boston run
awaz 412.9 (10 left) - Strong with Flyers/Nucks finals, but GagneFire likely has him covered
jeff sly 410.8 (10 left) - Likely winner with a Sharks/Bruins final, no OV
blueandwhiteforever 403.95 (11 left) - Strong start, but players on too many teams will hurt
dare2be 403.1 (11 left) - Very possible winner with a Bolts/Canucks final
clarkson23devils 401.45 (6 left) - Likely eliminated in next round, needs Stamkos
loki604 400.15 (7 left) - Eliminated unless Sedins are kidnapped
puckhead 400.1 (11 left) - Likely winner with a Canucks/Capitals final
eddie shack 390.15 (11 left) - Needs Wings/Canucks playing long series for a shot
darkstone42 389.95 (8 left) - Needs Franzen & Carlson to explode, or eliminated
hawaiian nhl fan 389.05 (6 left) - Likely elmiminated, needs Pavelski and Richards to be monsters to compete
kenyg54 388.1 (9 left) - Could be a strong finisher with the right combo of performances
pixburgher66 384.9 (8 left) - Likely eliminated, 8 players on 6 different teams means little after this round
sjsharks539 376.65 (8 left) - Likely eliminated without monster playoffs from Marleau
beantownmaniac 375.25 (9 left) - Good chance to win with a BOS/VAN final
kennybanyeah 373.85 (9 left) - Needs Zet and Stamkos to catch fire to make any noise
ritari330 368 (11 left) - Could compete with Puck if a VAN/WAS final dep. on which players perform
destroydacre 365.95 (11 left) - Likely solid finish, but many teams split
the q stache 364.35 (6 left) - Outside shot if Niemi & Thomas take over the playoffs
maverick426h 363.2 (10.5 left) - Srong contender with PHI/VAN final, esp. if Flyers' player pile up points
the croz man cometh 356.55 (8 left) - Likely eliminated w/out monster playoffs from Zetterberg
daboltsnisles 356.3 (8 left) - Likely eliminated by Puckhead
bone 349.05 (8 left) - Eliminated by Dare
elocomotive 341.25 (9 left) - Likely eliminated by Puck or Ritari, high finish with Caps/Canucks final
automattic 339.3 (8 left) - Likely eliminated - too many certain outs with DET/SJ players
slimpikins 336.95 (11 left) - Possible comeback with SJ/BOS final
anderwho2513 313.6 (10 left) - Could move up standings and maybe even win with a DET/WAS final
sbb122 311.75 (2 left) - Eliminated

PS - The numbers are from Duck, but this whole thing is UNOFFICIAL!

Good Stuff Eloco.
The only thing I disagree with is that I believe I win with a Van/Phi finals.
I also switched Chara with Edler so not sure if you saw that.
I would only lose 1 winger (OV), 1 D (Boyle) and 1 goalie (Thomas) if it comes down to those teams.
I would have both Sedins, Kesler, Briere, Giroux, Ehrhoff, Edler and Luongo

 

[dare2be]

I would also like to point out that while a Bolts/Nucks final would benefit me, I built my team around Bruins/Nucks, so I think that matchup would also get me enough differences to leapfrog most of the others above/near me. Especially if the Bolts and Bruins both win their 2nd round series.

Just for the record, there was a meeting of the rules and competition committee a couple of days ago and these ideas were brought up for next year's consideration:

Negative points for minuses, face offs lost, giveaways and goals against
Additional scoring categories for game tying goals, game winning overtime goals, and Ovechtricks

Gordie Howe Hattrick is needed but I like the rest.
