Not right now. What I mean is if Dallas is scoring points and Sharp or Spezza have any, it usually means Benn and Seguin also have points—usually more. It's the disadvantage of having players from the same team as other high picks. Really their main value is to "reclaim" some points in low roster slots.
Not really that's not the case for the Avs anyway.

The Avs don't have one line comprised of two of the top-7 scorers in the league, though. :) I'm just being pessimistic. Sharp and Spezza are going to outscore Benn and Seguin by a huge margin this year. ;) And Duchene is going to be the only Colorado player to get any points. Poor Iginla is going to miss 19 games.

Nine games tonight and I'm involved in eight of them (includes the bench).

Duchene has looked crap so far.

I rather see that shutout broken with two late goals, with McDavid on the board!

The pool sheet has been updated.

IMessYouUp and kitroplious already have points from all their active players.

Kreegs is in second place and he doesn't even have any points from his top two picks! Egad!

My Crosby & Kessel tandem is disappointing so far, but it's only three games in. I need big games tonight from Giroux, Johansen, and Getzlaf to get back on the board. At least Spezza didn't let me down last night.

He's out for 4-6 weeks with a shoulder injury sustained during the pre-season.

Hoping they contribute soon!
