2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs Game

[The Sicatoka]

Pick six forwards, four defensemen, and a goalie. 

I'm changing it up and modifying (simplifying) this year's scoring rules.

You get: 

• the total points from all playoff games from all your forwards
• the total points from all playoff games from all your defensemen
• the total points from all playoff games from your goalie (hey, it happens)
• one point per win by your goalie 

Rosters must be in before puck drop of the first Stanley Cup playoff game.

Huh, not penalizing the goals against really simplifies the strategy. Trying to pick a goalie that was going to exit early but without giving up too many goals required some tradeoff between the two factors. Now, the strategy for all players is just pick ones that are going to go deep.

[The Sicatoka]

Yup, this year is brute force: Who do you think is going deep. 

Good luck with that in the west.

I noticed that afterwards but figured I couldn't make a change so I left it. If I can switch I'll take Tavares to replace Stamkos.

[The Sicatoka]

It's in before first puck drop so Stamkos Tavares.
