2013-14 FNHL Playoffs ROUND 1 (Mar 10-16)

Can't see my Toronto team offering much opposition. Only have backup goalies and 2 are injured. 

Ottawa management would be foolish to under estimate Toronto's fire power.  Afterall Thunderblade's team had my Sens over a barrel all of Week 20 until we came from behind on Sunday to squeeze by Toronto by all of one glorious point.

a lot of teams have had their goalie situation messed around with by the NHL deadline deals.
Holtby in timeshare with Halak
Luongo moved from a bad team to an even worse team
Hiller lost the backup in Anaheim pushing him in Fasth
Bryzgalov benefits from moving to a powerhouse of a team in Minny
Scrivens kinda gets the Goalie 1A tag in Edmonton after they traded Ilya to the Wild

some had problems with their goaltending just before the start of the Winter Olympic break and others because of the Olympics:
Bishop hurt just before the Olympics and doesn't look the same since NHL resumed its regular season
Price hurt during Olympics
Howard and Nabby both either hurt or played poorly all year

erased a big chunk of the lead had after the first 2 days last night.

Its now 55.95 to 49.6

Bernier didnt finish the game last night.  Apparently a LBI. 
Lost out on a few point there.

I feel your pain Papps!
My Hawks haven't had the services of Price since the Olympics ended. As Ed Snider said about the Winter Olympics, “I don't care if it is in Philadelphia... I hate 'em!" LOL Don't hold back now Eddy! 

[PsychoticPondGoons]

Not looking for my Columbus BJs. We're down 83.8 to 40.5 versus and there ain't a lot of time to make up that difference. Let's see if I can pull of a 1980 Team USA here. LOL

Boston Bruins 95.6  Columbus Blue Jackets 44.8
Not looking good for my Columbus BJs with 2 days left to go in Rd1.

Small glimmer of hope for my Hawks against Johnny's Jets

Chicago Blackhawks 60.6  Winnipeg Jets 76.1

Come on gentlemen! Let's turn things around and play inspired!

I'm in the same boat against

I'm still hanging in there, and can come back. He's got more minutes to play, but I may have a slight edge in quality of minutes played.

Darn you Pigs for stealing away Anders Lee! 

These playoffs have tons of close matchups and are shaping up to be a real doozy. Good work and good luck everyone!
