WK2 - Dick Swinging Continues

Dick, showing off.

WK2 is now in the books, and Dick Burns is the first select-GM this year to hold first place for more than one week. This doesn't exactly call for celebrations or bragging rights, but Dick did put on a little show for the crowd by balancing on a beach ball.

"Well, the ladies always put on a good show on my balls," said Dick Burns, "so I figure I owe them a show of my own."

Speaking of putting on a good show, I know many of you have been wondering where and when a certain showman will be stopping by to Randy's statistical reporting headquarters. Well, look no further, as the prophet himself has returned. Welcome back, Pierre McGuire.

"HEYYYYYYY FRIENDS!"

Burgundy did not utter a word, but instead did a gentlemanly fist pump in approval.

Alright, let's get to it. Here are the charts, courtesy of the stats machine:

Adds Pierre: Another strong, strong week from Dick Burns. He added 149.00 fantasy points this week, second only to Safari, who had 153.25 points. Both select-GM's had a little stick magic with the help from Pacioretty (Dick Burns) and Tarasenko (Safari). Not surprisingly, Dick and Safari sit one-two in the standings after last night's games.

Adds McGuire: Look at the change in ranks! That line graph shows it all, doesn't it? Or should I say, look at that line change!

"That was a horrible, horrible pun," said Dick Burns.

Adds McGuire: Despite the monstrous performances by Dick and Safari, overall productivity was down this week inside the Wring. Last week the League averaged 3.34 PPGP, whereas this week it's 3.28. The perpetrators? Tree Bone and Sitch; the two of them are just awful; bad bounces, bad luck and bad bench management. C'mon you two, get it together! Sitch, in particular, is sporting a LEAGUE LOW 2.77 PPGP. That's atrocious considering he's been a PPGP specialist over the years; he was the highest PPGP select-GM for three consecutive years leading into the Wring!

Adds McGuire: Should we be surprised here? Dick Burns leads the way, and he's GREEN all over the rainbow. He's got no chink in his armor, just as I have no hair on my scalp!

Thanks Pierre. Given your great hockey sense, what do you think we should expect in the upcoming week?

Adds McGuire: Well I'm no stats guy like some MPAs or CPAs out there, but here are my thoughts.

• Anaheim is NOT a bad team. They are just in a bad rut. Therefore, Sitch's scoring and goalie stats will rebound as he owns Perry and Andersen.
• Seguin and Tarasenko are the real deal. Safari's goals per game will increase and possibly lead the League.
• SC87 just needs a little Pierre lovin' to get goin'. I LOVE YOU SID! YOU'LL BE FINE!

Thanks Pierre; always appreciate your insight. That's all for this week, gentlemen and lady. In the meantime, let's go Blue Jays.
