Week 21 The End of the Regular season/Congrats to the Glitz
Week 21 provides some surprise movement at the top and the bottom to end the regular season. The Tookus suffers an untimely setback that sees him fall all the way to 3rd on the Final day. The Professor by virtue of wins takes the regular season Championship! Bravo Sir! Now to the recaps.
Indifference Makers (5) Vs No So Tight Tookus (3). The Makers ran through the Tookus like a meal at Taco Bell. Saving his best for last...and what was a glimpse of what his team could have been when he drafted it.......the Makers put up a season and league high 628 points. In what would turn out to be a 273 point spanking of the Tookus the Makers were led by 60 points out of Kyrou, old balls Crosby and hey what's this? JACOB MARKSTROM. The Tookus was led by Pasta, Kadri and Stuart Skinner. The Makers played spoiler to the Tookus claim to the throne but the Tookus is still well positioned and gets his playoff match against Mr. Wonderful.
Glitz and the Intangibles (1) flirts with failing to rise to the occasion but manages to put up enough points to get by Habless Habs (9). Interesting fact...The professor is 6th in total points however he has key victories when he needs it and that's how he claims the throne as our regular season champ. The top spot was secured by Erik Haula, Rob Thomas, Dawson Mercer and Vejmelka
impressive.....Conor McJesus and ultra hot Jared McCann tried to make this competitive...unfortunately Habless had a lot of spots taken up by injury. Habless who was occupying the last playoff spot finds himself removed by our aspiring actuary on the last day of the season. Thanks for playing this year Scott! Hopefully next year your Habs are better.
Hudson's Team (8) slides in on the last day defeating Stay In Your Laine (7). Nate MacKinnon and Alex Pietrangelo provide the points necessary for our aspiring actuary to make the playoffs! It looks like our blogger could have provided the win but he had some sitters in his lineup. Either way good job Hudson! Perhaps our blogger will show up for his playoff match against the Relaxers. Hudson gets a chance at an upset over Glitz in the first round.
NO YOU RELAX (2) takes care of Sam's Astonishing Team (10) to fall just short of a charge for the top spot. The Relaxers are firing at the right time and look to be a serious threat in the playoffs. Contributions all up and down the roster. Sam's team gives it a valiant effort but exits from season play in Week 21. Thank's for playing Sam. Hope you had fun and would like to come back next year! Relaxers could get a smooth pass in the first round if Stay In Your Laine disappears.
Sofa King Rad (12) goes mostly MIA all year and finishes last losing to the Buffalo Bills (6). This is one of the matchups that didn't have much of an implication on the post season. Mr. Wonderful is ready to saddle up on Matt Tchachuk and Mitch Marner for his run into the playoffs. He gets a first round matchup with the Tookus so its a tall order. Our clown clearly has better things to do than play fantasy hockey as this is the second year he has been mostly MIA. He's got a lot going on so I hope everything is going ok in his bubble. He is a former Champion (I have the cup engraving to prove it) so not ready to close the book on him yet!
The Faithful Go Nuts (4) dismiss a checked out EA Sports Champion (11). Killorn and Karlsson led the way for the Faithful over a team that had Tage the beast Thompson on the the bench! Booo! The circle is not complete yet as the Faithful shows his mini-me the pool exit. Thank you for jumping in and taking this team at the last minute son. I know you also have a lot going on and hopefully you can join us for the draft next year! The Faithful look to go deep in the playoffs but first they will have to get by the Makers in the first round. Generational elimination underway!
Thanks again to Habless, Sam's Astonishing, the EA Sports Champion and Sofa King Rad (wherever you are). If you guys are interested next year let me know. We'll have some changes to the spots and tweaks to scoring. I know Fantasy Hockey can be a lot so I appreciate everyone that put the work in to make this fun. The last day of the year was interesting and we had a lot of parity.
Good luck to the rest of you boys. Most of us are very active managers so it should be a good go of it.
