WK19 - Mr. Burgundy, You Have A Massive Erection

#BurgSurge

Can you feel the heat?

"Everybody can feel the head radiating from this one-eyed beast!" said Burgundy, waddling around with an erect P.

I was talking more about things heating up inside Tri-Hard! rather than inside your pants, Burgs, but thanks for the input. I must say though, I'm pretty sure the massive erection you currently showcase is more of an optical illusion than anything.

Mr. Burgundy was once again this week's top bread earner, bringing home 187.45 fantasy points. He's now been the top bread earner for three weeks consecutive and, more importantly, he has cut Sitch's lead to exactly 100.00 fantasy points.

"No!" cried Sitch. "No! No! No! No!"

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! The numbers don't lie, my little Asian friend. At the beginning of the month, Burgundy was more than 200.00 fantasy points behind but has been able to make up significant ground since then, cutting that gap in half. Supremely impressive, Burgas.

Adds McGuire: It was a great week for Burgundy, indeed! He got monster performances out of Max Pacioretty (27.95 fantasy points) and John Tavares (24.25 fantasy points). Burgundy's pick up of Devan Dubnyk, who's been backing Minnesota's recent surge, also banked 26.50 fantasy points for Team Burgundy. What an example of excellence!

"But I'm an example of excellence!" cried Sitch.

Y CANT I HAS EXAMP OF EXLENT?

I'm sorry to report it Sitch, but it really looks like you're experiencing significant ebb and flow these days. Let's take a look at the visuals, courtesy of the stats machine:

Sitch had the biggest drop in PPGP this week, dropping 0.06 to 3.64 (previously 3.70). Safari, on the other hand, was the most improved, increasing 0.03 to 3.26 (previously 3.23). The injuries experienced on Sitch's roster appear to have finally caught up with him; his previously Goliath-like goalie statistics are taking a big hit and, as a result, his point accumulations are slowing. In fact, Dick Burns sports a better goalie PPGP than Sitch now; who would have thought we'd see that?

Adds McGuire: And if I look on the player PPGP side, I can see that Burgundy is within striking distance of outplaying Sitch too! With a 3.33 player PPGP, Sitch is only slightly ahead of Burgundy (who has 3.31). Without Tyler Seguin, the goal scoring has dried up for Sitch; his goals/game and shooting percentage are down significantly. Could it be that the fitness phenom is tiring? Perhaps unable to execute one final push (up)?

"I don't know what 'tiring' even means," said Sitch. "I just werk, bitch!"

 Until next time, gentlemen and lady.
