Studs of the Night

Honorable mention : That Brandon Dubinsky - Ryan Callahan OT goal was a beauty, check out the highlight reels.

3. Liles - 2g, 1a, +3, 6 shots.
Matches career highs with goals (2) and Points (3) for a game.

2. PHI - Last 10 games ~ 9-0-1.
Tonight it was Richards and Giroux who stood out :
Richards - 2g, 1a, +2, 5 SOG, 1 PPP, 1 SHG
Giroux - 1g, 2a, +3, 3 SOG, 1 PPG

1. Thomas - 4th SO of the season ~ 28 saves against NJD.
11 gp : 9-1-0, 4SO, .96 SV%, 1.31 GAA - Simply Amazing.

3 Duds of the Night

3. Erik Karlsson - Love the guy, but terrible discipline tonight. 3 b2b minors in the second killed any OTT momentum in catching up as it eventually led to Giroux's ppg. Going down 3-1 in the third against a strong PHI team and a sensational Brobovsky is never a good thing - and it proved tonight.

2. NJD - 5th loss in 7th games and a lousy record of 5-11-2. The Devils are still lottery bound and are in the same boat as NYI and EDM. Pretty sad...

1. Halak, 6GA with 17 saves on 23 shots.
Quote from GG's Twitter : "Blues should have pulled Halak after 3. When the timing is off, it is off." But rest assured, he follows it up with "Not a good goal for Halak ... again. I have nothing to say anymore about him tonight. He'll bounce back ... that's his thing."

Thanks!

Although, I gotta give credit to Shakedown for giving me the idea. It's an awesome feature and fun to do.

Bro this is fantasy! Karlsson's lack of discipline was pure gold for us owners!

Both Dubinsky's helpers were beauties. The puck control he showed on the short handed goal that tied the game was awesome. The OT setup was even better. This guys finally making me look good for owning him in each of the last 3 seasons.

2 of Karlsson's penalties were complete jokes. The first one the freaking linesman got in his way and created an odd-man rush, he should have let Karlsson do whatever he wanted. Ugh...whatever lol.

Not for me oh well

Yeah, we'll take these rare PIM from him.

Good job GMG! I like these Studs and Duds posts.

And you're right about Halak. Being an Habs fan I saw him play a lot over the past years and be sure he'll bounce back with a super game (if not more) right after an ugly one.

Very true. I'll be more cautious on detailing the real to fantasy blunders!

If it makes y'all feel better, since I didn't catch the end of the LA @ SJS game last night, you could automatically put Bernier's 6GA performance in the Duds. Therefore pushing Karlsson out.

Glad you guys enjoy these, cause I do too!
