WK6 - On the Move

Week six is now in the books. I haven't been this intrigued by League standings in quite some time; I sincerely think this year's Tri-Hard! could go down to the wire as the differences between each select-GM is marginal.

"Absolute bullshit," said Burgundy. "There is no way I'm even remotely the same as Sitch. No fucking way!"

"I agree. There's no way Burg's got any of 'dis!" said Sitch, massaging his abdomen.

I'm speaking strictly about fantasy hockey, gentlemen, not personal traits. Though I will say you both have similarities in ego. Here are the statistics, courtesy of the stats machine:

Adds McGuire: Look at that huge orange block for Team Burgundy! He was this week's top earner; he added 170.70 fantasy points this week, closely followed by Dick Burns with 165.80. Burgundy can thank Max Pacioretty and the timely pickup of Filip Forsberg for adding to his massive total. (Combined, the two brought in over 40 points for Burgundy.)

Adds McGuire: And look at that movement in the rankings! Every select-GM moved from one week ago, with Dick Burns making the biggest jump from third to first. He has ended Safari's streak of consecutive weeks at number one.

"Oh the damn silver lining," said Safari. "I'm somewhat surprised though; I thought it was going to be Sitch who would overtake me for first overall in the short-run. His team had me looking over my shoulder the last week or so."

Adds McGuire: And how great is this? Competition at it's finest? PPGP is razor thin; Safari (3.49), Sitch (3.45), Dick Burns (3.41), Burgundy (3.42) and Tree Bone (3.36) are all within striking distance of each other and it doesn't look like anyone is far ahead or well behind. It's also interesting to note that Burgundy was the only select-GM to increase his PPGP this week; he added 0.04, whereas every other select-GM's PPGP decreased. Can you say stealth? YES, I CAN!

 

Though Safari has fallen to second place, his rainbow still looks the strongest among the select-GMs. His only real struggle is producing goals, but he more than makes up for it with assists. His goaltending is also decent; good for second in the league in terms of points-per-goalie-games-played.

"What can I say?" said Safari. "Goals don't interest me much. I'm all about that 'A'."

"Oh yeah, I agree with that," said Dick Burns, licking his lips.

Wise words, Dick.
