This year I gave myself a rule in fantasy that I wasn't going to make any waiver wire moves until every team played at least 5 games, to stop myself from overreacting to a small sample size.

Then I said "fuck it, 3 games"

Anyway it doesn't matter anymore because all the decent guys off to hot starts are already taken because it's going to take two goddamn weeks before Chicago and Philly reach even the three game sample...

Team effort. That defense is atrocious and allowed ample open lanes and unguarded Sharks.

I'm also close to declaring the coach an imbecile. He broke up a line that was rolling for who knows what reason.

Florida gets a free point, tying the game late on one of those dumbass plays where one of the Sabres lost his stick, and rather than spend 5 seconds going to the bench to get a new one, decides to spend 2 minutes being useless in his own zone, including multiple times where the puck came near enough to him that if he had a stick he could have cleared it, ultimately leading to the tying goal...

I was going to put a bet on the Leafs winning the cup but I decided not to because I don't believe they'll win with Babcock (their odds had also improved too much, from 10-1 up to 6-1... probably back down after the Lightning loss but ran out of time)

...but then I also thought, the storyline of a coach firing leading to a Stanley Cup is one that happens somewhat often (2012 Kings, 2016 Penguins, 2019 Blues) so here's hoping for that again.

We need a lot more Leaf clobberings though.

Don't worry, they still play the Blackhawks what, 4 times? 5? Then it'll be you vs. Shadow Dino for greatest underperforming team.

Also I feel bad for teams who have Toronto as the 2nd half of their Ontario back-to-back, like the Wild apparently have this time... rough!

The only question is will the Devils be smart enough to move him at the deadline, or be dumb like Columbus and think they can convince him to stay?

I am pretty sure that we held onto Panarin and Bob to go all-in on the season.

Just thinking about how I was kicking myself for drafting 4 goalies yet my #1 is really #4 (Holtby)... so much for contract year overperformance. Kuemper is playing like he wants a Vezina at least!

Buffalo is good! Until they're not. But I do still believe in Hutton and hope they pull through...

This reminds me, I got to Vegas too late to bet on team point totals but I didn't know that at the time (why still have the sheets available if you're not taking action on them, damn it). But this is what I would have done, albeit with 3 or 4 games already gone in the season when I finalized these so not perfect...

Coyotes - 89.5 - Over
Sabres - 84.5 - Over
Flames - 96.5 - Under
Avalanche - 97.5 - Over
Red Wings - 77.5 - Over
Senators - 70.5 - Under
Flyers - 90 - Over
Penguins - 96.5 - Under
Sharks - 94.5 - Under
Maple Leafs - 102.5 - Over

Will need to revisit this at season's end and see how much I would have won if I actually was able to get them in... or lost. Feeling pretty good about most of those though!

(also not sure why the Flyers didn't have a half point, only they and Canucks at 89 were like that)

Hotlby's ratios have been pretty bad for a couple years now. If you drafted him expecting good performance in any stat other than wins, that's on you...

On the other hand, why not fire him? It's not like keeping or ditching him is going to make much of a difference one way or another, and he seems to have lost the room...
