I feel like Lehner is the best goalie but I am really feeling a Vancouver stack
I’m still playing SD and there’s a good chance I fade BOS-TB. I have no idea how that one will go. Both have legit depth, with Coyle on L3 for BOS and Gourde-Coleman-Goodrow having some good games for TB. Top lines are both elite, and L2s are very fine too. No idea if they’ll play it safe or open the play. I also don’t expect any line change, so no edge unless I hear Pasta is out again or something like that.
Speaking of line changes, there’s something almost no one knows that I do know. Last game, VAN tried some new combos. They actually started and played most of the game with Horvat and Pettersson swapped. They tried some other things when they were leading by a lot, too, and got scored twice, so I expect them to go back to what they started with: Miller-Horvat-Boeser and Pearson-Pettersson-Eriksson.
If Toffoli is back, I expect him to just take Eriksson’s spot. Curious to see how warmups will go, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
DK’s main contest is too top heavy, but it’s a 2K man contest, so it’s winnable. I’ll have a few lineups, but no where close to the maximum allowed. I have 15 for now.
Thanks for that Felix. I noticed it but thought it was a incomplete line change
The lines were changed in game 5 also but line up sites never updated. I think the goal was to split up the offense so O’Reilly line had to pick one to play against.
Would be interesting to see what they run tonight.
They ran a lot of miller Petterson virtanen too.
It feels like Brock is the odd man out in a lot of these, even more so if Toffoli is back
Too early for lineups?

Thanks for posting these. Every time I look at team’s Twitters there is no news about any confirmed lineups.
Sorry I missed the beat writers part. Thank you.
Yes, all I have seen from beat writers is:
TB coach says status quo.
Ritchie and Bjork back on third line tonight
Toffoli is out.
Thank you rgreuli that helps a lot. Good luck!
Should be an interesting slate. Good luck everyone!
Back to ya Mr. CANUCKAGE
Didn’t realize the forum contest was a 50/50 tonight
Anybody play “series” on DK? Did you take both goalies? I panic entered and only have Halak in one and neither in the other. I think I screwed that up…
I did play series and I did use both goalies
I did make a mistake though. I used Palat. 7400 means he’s overpriced. He should be more like 5000.
I would think that’s optimal. I was surprised goalies were so low owned. Good luck!
Does anybody know why they aren’t offering the new series format for each series?
it was the same for NBA
they chose one series to do it for
news: Grubauer already ruled out for Game 2 and there’s a good chance he’s out for the series
How likely do we think these lines are?
They’re maybe the ones from two or three games ago?
The lines are projected from NHL.com, that is why I put the follow beat writers on Twitter for updates.
Markstrom and Lehner lead their teams onto the ice for warmups. #VegasBorn #Canucks https://t.co/pKyqz6vitu
