Fantasy Sports: The 10th edition Flyers WJC fantasy draft pool - BigToe wins!

[BigToe]

Oh, I miss out watching the early games today so didn't know it happened in the first game. Fair enough.

Arrtu Kakki is the replacement D I’ll take if he’s out tomorrow.

 

[Coffe]

Well aside from my goalie pretty disappointing first day lmao

I'd wager you'll have the top scoring goalie in this tournament so it's a hot start there at least.

We have a three-way tie for first after day 1. It's @BigToe , @Captain Dave Poulin and myself all on 10 points. Time to start thinking about a tie-breaker? Long way to go still.

Please have look at your scores to make sure I tallied up all the points correctly. First day comes with the biggest risk of a mistake before I get familiar with the squads.

Standings after day 1:

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	10
1	Captain Dave Poulin	10
1	Coffe	10
4	pit	7
5	PALE PWNR	5
6	CutOnDime97	4

 

[Coffe]

Standings after day 2:

A multi-point performance from a Canadian draft-eligible player leading the way for our leader? Now that's deja vu. This year @BigToe is the beneficiary of five points from Celebrini to take a five point lead over @Captain Dave Poulin and myself. @pit is right on our heels in fourth.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	22
2	Captain Dave Poulin	17
2	Coffe	17
4	pit	15
5	PALE PWNR	9
5	CutOnDime97	9

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

11 goals - Hutson has zero points. Awesome.

 

[Coffe]

Standings after day 3:

@BigToe still on top but despite not getting any Hutson points on 11 goals @Captain Dave Poulin comes closer in second place. I'm third. @CutOnDime97 and @PALE PWNR each saw a player get 4 assists and closes the gap from behind.

The case of Cutter Gauthier is also why I do the scoring the day after as IIHF has had time to look through the video and correct any goals and assists accordingly. The WJC thread had some discussion about the number of assists he should have had. He now got four credited to him in this game.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	27
2	Captain Dave Poulin	24
2	Coffe	23
4	CutOnDime97	17
5	pit	16
5	PALE PWNR	15

Is Sweden ridiculously good or what? They haven't been scored on yet

I'd say yes, we have a very good defensive foundation. But then again you could say that two of these games have been Latvia and Germany. Germany isn't a pushover anymore but they'd fought a hard game against Finland the day before and looked a little gassed to me.

I'm almost inclined to say that Canada looked quite offensively inept today.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Horrific goalie pick by me. @Captain Dave Poulin had it right.

 

[Coffe]

Standings after day 4:

@BigToe extends the lead by one point to @Captain Dave Poulin and myself and we have gotten two distinct groups of three in the table. Canadians have been quiet on the score sheet so far and I think that's to blame for this separation. They have Germany upcoming so let's see if they can find their firepower there.

In today's two games there's only one active player in Michael Brandsegg-Nygård for @PALE PWNR who must be hoping for a Norwegian routing of the Swiss.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	35
2	Captain Dave Poulin	31
2	Coffe	31
4	PALE PWNR	22
4	pit	22
5	CutOnDime97	21

Seems like MBN had no points so the table remain unchanged after today.

If GIFs would work easily I'd write something like "Write out his full name?!" and then insert the "ain't nobody got time for that" meme but here I am typing it out instead.

Standings after the group stage:

Everyone had a good day on New Years Eve except for me who amassed a whooping 3 points on a day when USA scores 10. (thanks Jimmy, great timing on the illness....).

This means that we have a two-horse race for the top spot with @BigToe still in command with @Captain Dave Poulin behind. @CutOnDime97 had a big day and is now tied with me for third. @PALE PWNR and @pit are still within reach of a podium finish.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	48
2	Captain Dave Poulin	43
3	Coffe	34
3	CutOnDime97	34
5	PALE PWNR	31
6	pit	28

don't choke @BigToe

Standings after quarter-finals:

The race for first is getting closer. @Captain Dave Poulin is only two points behind @BigToe right now. They've left the rest of us in the dust as the gap from Cap to @CutOnDime97 and myself is now 9 points. We're currently tied for 3rd.

The Canadian and Slovakian exit could prove the deciding factor as BigToe only lost two players in Celebrini and Strbak while Cap lost four.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	54
2	Captain Dave Poulin	52
3	Coffe	43
3	CutOnDime97	43
5	PALE PWNR	36
6	pit	34

I put an emphasis on getting two good Dmen early, and Toe has one more point from his D than I do. This is a difficult thing to win.

I put an emphasis on botching my early round picks while constantly getting sniped and being woefully underprepared when my picks came around.

The strategy is really paying off.

Standings after the semifinals (and a relegation game):

@BigToe extends the lead to five points after a bad day for @Captain Dave Poulin with only two points scored. Could this be it? In any case, this is going to the wire.
@CutOnDime97 edges in front for third place.

Place	Player	Points
1	BigToe	59
2	Captain Dave Poulin	54
3	CutOnDime97	48
3	Coffe	47
5	PALE PWNR	42

[Captain Dave Poulin]

So if I added right (lol), I need to outscore Toe by seven in the gold medal game. F***.

Final Standings

Big congratulations to @BigToe who wins after a big final day!

In the end it was not really nervy as five point from the bronze medal game sealed a solid lead.

Congrats also to @Captain Dave Poulin for a well-fought effort that ends in second place.

@CutOnDime97 takes third place after a strong final day with a four-point game from Jiri Kulich.

Commiserations to the rest of us. Better luck next year.

Must say that I'm impressed by myself to be the only one to select a skater with a goose egg in the scoring column. /sarcasm

 

[PALE PWNR]

Congratulations bigtoe. Thanks for running this again coffe

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I hate everyone and everything.

Is that really a change from your regular spectrum of feelings though?
