Hockey Pool Week 20 Recap

Wow, I can't believe that the season is almost over. Another week completed! Each week just gets more intense! Anyways, here is what I have to say about my week 20 hockey pool matchup for both of my teams.

First of all, in the NHL League. I played an opponent whose team consist of 4 Vancouver Canuck players. So, cheering against those players was rather difficult because I wanted the Canucks to do well. Earlier part of week, I was dominating. I had a huge lead as big as 9-0. Sadly this lead vanquished as I witnessed Lubomir Visnovsky completing a 5 point night against the Dallas Stars. That day also saw me forgetting to play 3 players which all had an assist. So 3 points lost for this week. Which resulted in a 6-6 tie because of it. At least I regained second place by a slight margin. Maybe I should really work my lines for the whole week, beforehand. However, as being a very superstitious person, that won't bring any good luck!

Now, in the Canucks4thecup League, I had a very dominant week! In the first two days, my opponent was leading. However, since Islanders Zenon Konopka took a 15 minute penalty, my team started doing really well. Players were really scoring, but however I don't have enough assist and powerplay points. Game-winning goals was a fair struggle. He took the lead in that category 3 times before I storm back with 2 in the last day to topple him. I also picked up Vancouver Canuck backup goaltender, Cory Schneider to win the game-start category. I predicted Vancouver winning in Anaheim through my superstitious theory. That is what happened today. Vancouver won 3-0 and Schneider got me a shutout! However, I did win 15-2. But it was still not good enough, because two other teams smoked their opponents by a score of 15-1. That brings my deficient slightly higher. That being said, there is still two weeks to go! All I have to do is make sure my team wins big and not worry about the others until I have completed my part!

Starting tomorrow, I'm playing against the best team in the league for the NHL League and a below average opponent who defeated the best team in the Canucks4thecup league. Team Captain's team will be one tough matchup! That being said, believe in your players, they will do well! Against Team Big Mac will be another test for me. I don't care if I beat him the past two times, things can change!
