Thank you papa for the free roll!

My Pens homer take tonight is that this is a let down spot for them. Definitely looks like a good spot on paper but they have a tendency to not show up in these spots, especially with a big game coming next (against CBJ on Thursday). I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 4-2 FLA win and may even play some Panthers.

Is pit1 now cros gunt and mccann?

Gonna be honest, not in love with a lot of these matchups

Phone was on the fritz for a few days, so I haven’t been playing until last night and I haven’t been on the forum. So, I missed the nice win for Papa, congrats! Thanks for the free roll! Man, I have no hot takes on this slate, so far, tough to get a read on it!

That is how they practiced yesterday

I realize that we can create larger contests here on the RG Forum, but I like the fact that having two 20 player contest and entering different lineups or one lineup in both contest help to spread the wealth while allowing everyone to get a chance at entering these contest. Plus, we get the resize option just in case.

If these contest were cheeseburgers, they would be devoured by this forum in a single bite.

I have to reserve my entry when I wake up to enter!

We could try to set up something similar to the Happy Meal (in the PGA forum). They give points according to your ranking in every ($1) forum contest. The difference is that PGA is only once per week. We could do it only on Saturdays or something like that. I think RG gives a T-shirt or something to the person who wins the Happy Meal Cup. We would have to ask a mod.

RIP King Kong Bundy.

I saw that the two families from the show Married with Children were based on King Kong Bundy (Al’s family) and I guess there was another family called the Rhodes, after Dusty Rhodes. Kinda funny.

Taking a different approach to try to break out of my cold streak.
Only went with guys based on last 3, 5 and 10 games that are, or at least appear to be in good spots.
What I ended up with is a muddled mess that will leave me with one of two results….

Really like that 3 entry $33 contest on DK today. Gorgeous structure, and i only have to beat 3 each of Slewfoot, Testo, loumister, etc line-ups.

I found my way in this too, really hope this tourney structure stays around for a bit!

I am so torn on this game.. I already had my top 3 teams laid out for now (Mon, Col and of course Pit) and now am conflicted as Pit L1 is where I will most likely end up with them but they do seem to be a “cash game” kind of line where there is upside but they are just normally pretty darn safe.

The other two teams I was looking at are NJ (gross, I know) and AZ L2.. Just wanted to get some ideas out there. Still plenty of day left!

Edit: And then there’s Dallas..

No Radulov tonight for the Stars.

Monty: “Radulov’s going to be out. He was late this morning. That’s all I’m going to talk about it.”

Radulov declined to speak to media after skating late with other healthy scratch.

Anyone got anything on this kid? VALERI NICHUSHKIN

Looks like he is gonna play L1 in place of Radulov (thanks for the info Gairz) and Hintz? Or is Benn gonna replace Hintz on L1?

Whenever you can roster a player with 0 goals on the season it’s crucial that you do so.

I’m in! 1 x $344 (3 stars of the night double qualifier), 3 x $33, 16 x $20 (I hate the prize structure but $20K is $20K), 1 x $1 (forum contest) and 1 x $0 (Papa’s freeroll).

I have 100% of one duo and 50% of two duos. I mixed them with 8 other duos I like.

Forbort is my punt D of the night.

Thanks PAPA G 👍

I’m waiting to see what the beat writers will report. Whoever goes on L1 gets a boost. I have Seguin-Benn for now.

Not sure we’ll know until shortly after 8p (EDT) when they take the ice for warm ups.
