The 2018/19 NHL Chat & Fantasy Thread

[xraygord]

Finally made it. The season starts tonight!

[xraygord]

Just finished out of the money last night on Draft Kings.

[xraygord]

Just finished in the money. Woohoo!

[xraygord]

Plenty of action today folks.

[yisman]

I played a lot on DK Wednesday-Friday. Not much today, though.

[xraygord]

Loaded up on SJ and BUF players today. lol Ya never know.

[yisman]

just missed cashing yesterday https://www.draftkings.com/contest/g...?uc=1211476775

[xraygord]

Right on yisman. I only cashed once so far. $5.00

I usually play only the nightly big game. Usually costs between $3.00 and $5.00.

Few games tonight. Should be able to pick a team.

I struggle to put together good DFS fantasy hockey teams on Draftkings. I try stacking teams that are supposedly in good spots but so far its been tough to cash. Hopefully it gets better because I like DFS hockey I just wish I was better at it.

[xraygord]

I was loaded up on TOR & DAL last night, still didn't finish in the money.

Who would you say is the TOP overall fantasy player in Hockey. Top 5?

[jrgum3]

Did great finally on DraftKings on this short Wednesday slate. I suspect if you weren’t on the Flyers you probably struggled to cash. I usually only play NHL on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays when they have bigger slates but playing on tonight’s short slate paid off.

[Otters27]

Dang wanted to take the Flyers but chocked and took the Senators. Didn't think it would be that high scoring

That's a tough question. Right now Matthews and Tavares but things will change. Wait until the end of the month to have a better perspective.

[hotcross]

good job on making this NHL Fantasy thread

I've been a little lost so far with all these very young kids playing around the league

[jrgum3]

I had another successful night playing cash games on DK. Seems I can make a decent cash lineup but struggle in GPPs because it’s tough to nail the skaters that go off most nights and that’s what it takes.

Nice!

I had WSH & NJ players. NJ did well.

No hockey games today. Sucks.

[xraygord]

Games all day long today. Should be fun.

Ottawa is blasting LA Kings 4-0 score halfway thru the game.

Goalie Jack Campbell pulled after letting in 4 of 11 shots, he's looked good in the first 3 games but not today. Peter Budaj now in net for LA. Jonathan Quick is being held out with what the Kings are calling a "lower body" injury.

Yes Campbell was looking good previous games. Almost took him today.

[yisman]

quickly stacked TB

unfortunately left off Gourde. Used Stamkos and Palat

[xraygord]

Not much action today.

[BarkingToad]

30 shots on goal for Dallas in 2nd period, scoring 4 goals after trailing 3-0 to Anaheim. Quite a barrage

[yisman]

pretty incredible to have 30 in a period.

Laurent Brossoit starts for Winnipeg tonight in net. I have no idea what the Jets are thinking with him as the backup early this year. Acquired from Edmonton (during the summer, I assume).

Playing the hot team Carolina this Sunday evening.

[hotcross]

^^whoa, Brossoit made 42 saves in that game, there was no scoring by either team until Laine got his first goal of the season in the third period. Carolina tied it up and it looked like the game was heading to Overtime. Winnipeg somehow scored a goal with about 3 minutes remaining and then covered the spread with an empty netter. However, it seemed Carolina outshot and outplayed Winnipeg on an impressive back to back, after having beat Minnesota the night before.

I have not held Brossoit in high regard, so it will be interesting to see if he improves with his play with this Jets team who are obviously much better than the Oilers team he was on last year.

[xraygord]

Didn't come close last night.

Got to love Brossoit. Jets are my team.

[hotcross]

Buffalo into Vegas tonight for a rematch of last Monday's game on Oct.8, which saw Buffalo win 4-2 at home.

Sabres are 3-2-0 on the season. Vegas 2-4-0 including a Shootout win.

Vegas around -200 favorite at home. I say they get it done tonight, one way or another. But will probably be a close one.

[hotcross]

^^wasn't really close, Buffalo didn't score until very late in the game, which Vegas answered with an empty net tally, to win 4-1

Bunch of other games went to Overtime

[BarkingToad]

How did Winnipeg blow a 3rd period 3 goal lead at home?

Entered two $4 teams last night. Won $6 on one.
