gruven 530 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If they asked me not to, I wouldn't, because it's not something to get all upset about either way. I'd probably tell somebody it was stupid, but I wouldn't make a stand on it (pun intended). that seems fair. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm in Pittsburgh. Team NA and the Russians are practicing at the same time. Hard to say who the bigger star is, McDavid or Ovi. Although the biggest cheers are for matt Murray. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 one of the guys here is running a really interesting and cool pool for the Championships.. You pick 8 players...You must have one player from each team and you must have 4 forwards and 4 dman.. Lots of strategy involved... Any potential picks and strategies will be appreciated..

serge 904 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Preliminary picks...I will definetely change them before tomorrows deadline: Dman Brent Burns---Canada Erik Karlsson---Sweden Dustin Byfuglien...United States Seth Jones------North America Forwards Alex Ovechkin----Russia David Krejci------Czech Mikko Koivu---Finland Anze Kopitar---Europe My thinking was take dman from the teams that I think will go farther...Its a straight points pool...No goofy stats...1 pt for goal and assist.. I think the top dman on the good teams will not only play more, but the difference in skill level is quite wide between the dman on the weaker teams... I may adjust my Canadian player into a high end scorer as most likely the tourney leading point getter will be Canadian...But I have a feeling most entrants will include Crosby, so it might not be the best strategy.. One of the coolest pools I have entered..So many variables and really fun it looks like.. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I thought Barkov looked insanely good in the one pre-tourney Finland game I watched. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I don't recall who was playing PP1 for team NA... but Ekblad stood out in the games I saw... maybe he should be taken over Jones? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Good points..I will definetely consider that.. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 using a forward spot on Krejci not so sure about. The Czechs are pretty bad and aren't going to score much at all. who do you think will get more points. McJesus plus Czech d-man or Krejci plus Ekblad ? Link to post Share on other sites
