I see an ass beatin comin in Vancouver..

Couturier and Voracek with the rare -4 rating :(

Yeah, this is not gud.. omg..

Wish I would’ve known this dude was starting. Congrats to those that loaded up on Sharks.

Wow, that went in?

whoa!

Finally put up a decent score. Missing out on a Tuesday Special ticket by a goal. Should win the top 3 forum at least

some late weird news

Sutter got scratched. Apparently hurt, although the team said nothing about it earlier.

DiPietro making his first start.

Sharks highest scoring team in the NHL since Xmas.

with Markstrom, Nilsson, Bachman, Demko & now DiPietro this is first time since 2005-06 that #Canucks have used 5 goalies in a season

#Canucks confirm DiPietro to start in goal vs SJ. Originally a planned start for Markstrom, the change is a precaution due to tightness in his lower body and extends his maintenance and recovery period between starts. Markstrom will not be available to play tonight’s game.

=========

This means that the 19 year old apparently only has the emergency backup behind him. I don’t know who that is.

DiPietro had been playing for the Ottawa Spitfires. Save percentage of under 90% there.

Sharks closed at only -164. Would’ve been worth a bet had I been paying closer attention.

I feel sorry for the young chap..

This looks like someone playing NHL2019 on easy. Canucks don’t even have a SOG yet.

I don’t like this move by Vancouver. Literally threw him into the shark tank.

I’m on SJ2 FTW but I prefer the better goalie cos now it’s a crapshoot because anything can go in!

VAN should forfeit, yea that’s it.

game

They have no one else healthy though

Ah, I didn’t know JM was injured.

Got 4 Sharks, but none of the Hertl line

Don’t even know what I’m rooting for here in 180th. Do I want a Stecher goal, or Jones to just stay solid the rest of the way? A bunch of lineups with SJ2 ahead of me, but very few with the 3 goalie win points left:

Also in the driver’s seat for a $300 ticket here, but facing lots of Burns lineups!

The Sharks are hard to pin down so I usually just go for the hot hand line and hope for the best. I need a Kane hattie to likely win the 8 tonight.

I’ve finished 2nd in the qualifier last 2 nights… one was because of a stat correction to give hutton an assist 2 nights ago and last night i lost by 0.1 dkp from cernak getting 2 shots in the last 5 mins lol.

If I lose this one I give up – that Labanc goal was really really annoying lol.

I don’t follow

You’re 4.7 points ahead of me in the $8.

You have Hertl-Kane-Leivo-Burns-Stecher. I have Hertl-Kane-Donskoi-Stecher-Jones. I’m getting 3 points no matter what, so I’m really 1.7 points behind you. If we keep advancing as is, one question is whether Donskoi-Jones can outscore Leivo-Burns by 1.7 points (excluding the win). And I’m not sure they can!

in the yahoo $25 double up, I have Couture/Kane/Jones, yet this game has dropped me from 7th to 11th. Now bubbling, Crazy

Ouch. Those Cernak shots really had to hurt.

You should take this one down. Just gotta fade Labanc-Horvat?

we both want the Kane hattie. I think you’re favored because Jones will stop more shots and you just need a donskoi assist. 1-2 finish for us would be sweet!
