My NHL team for today's $10k guaranteed event (April 8th, 2015):

C - Marcus Johansson Bos@Was $3,900
C - Evgeny Kuznetsov Bos@Was $3,800
W - Troy Brouwer Bos@Was $4,300
W - Corey Perry Dal@Anh $8,100
W - Jiri Sekac Dal@Anh $3,000
D - John Carlson Bos@Was $7,800
D - David Savard Tor@Cls $3,600
G - Braden Holtby Bos@Was $8,700
UTIL - N. Backstrom Bos@Was $6,000

bad news Kawhi is off to a slow start, good news he might get to play 30+ minutes tonight lol. i like how at the beginning of the day it looked like Parker wasn't going to start, so far in 1st qtr he's pretty much been the Spurs offense.

i went against my previous post and passed on Hansbrough, and am hating myself for it TT

PG - Lillard / Lawson
SG - Harden / DeRozan
SF - Leonard / Casspi
PF - Marvin Williams / Muscala
C - Biyombo

rough life not grabbing Sessions. overall gotten reasonable value but i think it's going to be a high-scoring night in general.

also made a late-night lineup since there were still 4 games to choose from:

PG - Lillard / Lawson
SG - Harden / DeRozan
SF - Bledsoe / McLemore
SF - Hawyward / Casspi
PF - LMA / Faried
C - Wright

The first period seemed sick good for Washington, however, they were only able to win the game 3-0, even though they had a ton of chances to score more goals. The good news is, my goalie was Braden Holtby, so I got the points for him plus additional points for winning via shut-out.

I still have 2 people left on my team, and that game is about to start in 5 minutes. I was ranked #21 at one point, but now I'm currently ranked #39 with 39.90 points. Columbus beat Toronto 5-0, which wasn't expected at all, so my ranking isn't as high as it would normally be in this situation.

All my teams sucked

I know nothing about basketball, fml

my full lineup kinda sucked, but have a runner-runner shot still if Lillard goes ham in the 2nd half (seems unlikely)

late-night team is doing ok (relatively speaking...Hayward and Bledsoe were total busts)

at least i got to see some Sim Bhullar action




edit - sdfgdffgdf underestimated how much early sitting Lillard/Aldridge would rape me, might very well lose my late lineups too now T_T

I had a good shot at getting 1st place, but Anaheim went from keeping the game tied at 0-0 at the end of the 1st period, to letting Dallas score 3 goals on them in the 2nd period. I was the only guy in the top 27 with Corey Perry on my team, which gave me an edge, but Anaheim isn't doing shit... There's still hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

----------

What a fucking joke of a result...

I floated within the top 50 for most of the night, and then ended up in a sick spot where I was ranked #27 and still had 1 of the best players out of all 6 teams that played today, and he ended up scoring just 1 point...

All 3 hockey matches ended in shut-outs... That's extremely rare...

Anyway, my final rank was #129, which earned me 4 times my buy-in, but that isn't shit compared to what I was close to winning.

how large are the fileds in those nhl tourneys PR?

I sucked it up in nba tonight.( as usual) Lineup did good in mlb tho.

I'm kinda tired, so I can't remember how big each field usually is. I know it depends on how many hockey games are being played that day. For example, there were only 3 matches today, and the the field consisted of 3833 people (the maximum amount). The field for tomorrow's event is 4600 max.

I noticed they lowered the prize pool during the last week; it used to be a standard $20k guaranteed for the event I play, but today's event was $10k guaranteed, and tomorrow's is only $12k guaranteed with a total of 11 matches taking place. Each team only has 3 or so games left to play for the regular season, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.

My NHL team for today (not that confident since there's 11 matches today, thus more variance):

C Claude Giroux Car@Phi 4.1 $8,200
C Sean Monahan LA@Cgy 3.4 $5,300
W Johnny Gaudreau LA@Cgy 3.1 $5,000
W J. Huberdeau Bos@Fla 2.7 $4,600
W Jaromir Jagr Bos@Fla 2.5 $4,900
D Aaron Ekblad Bos@Fla 2.6 $3,900
D Alex Pietrangelo Chi@StL 3.4 $5,500
G Eddie Lack Ari@Van 4.1 $7,400
UTIL Mark Streit Car@Phi 2.9 $5,000

My two most expensive players didn't do much, so yeah... I doubled my entry fee, so that's a plus (rank #484).

another full slate tonight, think there's a lot of value in Lakers/T-Wolves....i heard Kmart is questionable, if he ends up sitting that definitely effects things. but if he starts i like him, if he sits i like Wiggins. also like Clarkson, maybe Lavine and Wesley Johnson too.

i like Kanter at C tonight going against the Kings with Boogie out, i still think Biyombo is good value for a cheaper option. Westbrook should score like 96 points vs the Kings but it seems likely he'll miss significant minutes in a blowout. still might play him if i don't have time to sit down and figure out a better way to spend the money. not crazy about Harden/Davis/Lebron once again.

Agree with ya. A lot of value out there at pf today. I like Davis today. And kind of like lebron. Harden I'm not so sure about though. I really want westbrook but i don't want him sitting at half time cause they are crushing lol

Lebron is the toughest for me to judge tonight, i wish they would just rest him so i could play Kyrie and not worry about spending on Westbrook/Davis.

My NHL team for today:

C Anders Lee NYI@Pit 2.9 $3,500
C Ryan Strome NYI@Pit 2.7 $4,400
W Cam Atkinson Buf@Cls 2.9 $5,200

went with

Kanter

Bleh...

Two of my players didn't even score any points today (Strome & Larsson), so that sucks... My two most expensive guys got some points, but not enough to justify their price...

Anyway, I finished with a rank of #289, which got me 2.5x my entry fee, so that's better than nothing.

2OT FFS

such rage, going to miss cashing all my entries by 5-10 points, would have been easy cash if Martin had a pulse for even half the game

some of tomorrow's matchups seem very interesting..

Today is the final day of the regular season, and I'm not sure if they'll have any fantasy events for the playoffs. Also, even though the Devils already beat the Panthers earlier this season, I have a feeling that the Panthers will want the win more because it's the final game of the entire season for both teams since they won't make it to the playoffs, the Panthers are playing at home and probably wanna go out with a bang, and most importantly, this is the first time that Jaromir Jagr is playing against the Devils since they traded him, so he will probably be fired up today.

I had a good read on the games I chose, but while my goalie won his game, he barely won it, so I didn't get many points for him. That being said, I thought I was gonna do terrible, but the rest of my reads were right and I ended up making a little profit in the end.

My final rank was #224, and I won 2.5x my entry fee.
