Well, it's the end of the second last week of hockey pool regular season. That means, after next week the playoff would begin! Boy am I excited. Or am I?
Well first things first, playoff is drawing near so I'll briefly talk about what happened this week.
In the NHL League, I played the top team for this week. I've had my struggles with him but he also had his struggles with me. What really held me back this week was the goalie situation. It seems as if I can't buy a goalie win this week, despite having lots of starts opportunity. The point spread was close as well, but thanks to guys like Mike Ribiero and Phil Kessel I was able to maintain a lead. So at the end of the week, I tied again 6-6. This is the first time I've had two straight ties and with the same score. Now I take the second seed spot with a 6 point lead. That means I need to make sure I don't allow the guy to have 6 more points than me!
Now in the Canucks4thecup, it was a rough ride for most part of the week. Probably I had was the goalie again! I can't seem to buy a goalie win at all and I've had my points struggle with my opponent, especially in the assist category. My players put up a lot of goals but nobody really assist goals to other players around them. I lead 8-5, 9-5 most of the times. Until the final day, I finished with a 12-2 victory. Now I remember that I could have won 12-1 instead, if Holtby didn't give up that late goal to Chicago. Because at the end of the day, my SV% was just 0.01 below against my opponent. If the goal wasn't scored, I would have a higher SV% since his goalie gave up 4 goals and was pulled in the second period. Anyways, nevertheless this is a convincing victory. Now I moved up to my desired 4th place in the standings. Now I just need 1 more week of good hockey to get a shot at moving to 3rd place!
Recognition: Alvin, this week has been fun! Good luck! Hopefully we both will make the finals!
