hhahahhaha my week 1 opponent "InsertWittyNameHere" has 16 wings and 1 goalie, and thats it...no centers or defenders

9/28/2009 12:21:16 PM

^^ Yeah I'd say that was in the running for steal of the draft picking him with the last pick in the 11th round. I'm very satisfied with my D.

9/28/2009 12:22:00 PM

when the hell was the draft???!?!?!?

9/28/2009 12:24:51 PM

last night at 7:30

are you InsertWittyNameHere? cause all the other teams that autodrafted have players at every position...IWNH must have preranked a bunch of wings? i dunno

thats from 6 days ago...gotta either check this thread or login to the league and see the draft time

9/28/2009 12:29:15 PM

I have a draft tonight with 16 teams and 21 roster spots on each team. It's going to be fucked up.

9/28/2009 4:17:56 PM

yeah i dont want to hear anything about not giving people notice.

[Edited on September 28, 2009 at 4:35 PM. Reason : i cant read the thread for you]

9/28/2009 4:35:32 PM

lol at InsertWittyNameHere

I need a RW so i'll might try to trade him a C or D

yo TreeTwista10...trade me Patrick Kane for Daniel Sedin

I picked Sedin a pick before Kane but I need a RW now




Everyone should post who they are in the league. This is who I know so far:
The Dude - TBD
V0LC0M - Wolfpack HC
TreeTwista10 - Coach Emilio Estevez

I'm insertwittyname here, sadly I was stuck at work forever. Hooray at least getting Rick Nash and Lundqvist.

9/28/2009 8:42:59 PM

not bad not bad

9/29/2009 3:43:04 PM

is anyone else having a problem with Yahoo's IR spot

it will not let me put Marian Hossa in the damn IR slot.

in fact there is no IR slot at all

yes i am sure we have it a spot designated on the rosters

10/2/2009 12:24:04 PM

not sure, I don't have any players injured so I can't tell, but it definitely looks like there should be one IR spot based on the league settings

10/2/2009 12:30:44 PM

Yes, Yahoo is broken. This is an issue in all leagues, and I have no idea why Yahoo hasn't fixed it yet.

If you switch to Classic mode, you can do it.

10/2/2009 12:31:50 PM

I prefer Classic anyway

so anyone know if Stat Tracker is going to be free all year? I wonder if Yahoo is doing that in all their sports now since one of ESPN's big advertising points with football this year was "free real time stat tracker" or something

10/2/2009 12:34:06 PM

Thanks for the tip on the change to classic


I believe stat tracker is free in all leagues now

10/2/2009 12:39:25 PM

yeah, i'm pretty sure i saw it's free now when i signed up.

Boy the hurricanes are sure starting this season on the wrong foot.

10/5/2009 12:46:17 PM

i dropped Biron and picked up Craig Anderson (Col) because he was just about the only free agent goalie in my league still available that will get regular starts. i made a post about getting a good first string goalie through a trade and someone offered Johan Franzen and C. Huet for Marleau and Semin. don't think i'm going to take it since those two guys pretty much account for all my offensive production. (5g, 3a, +4 as of now)

10/6/2009 10:12:32 AM

so how are Power Play Points calculated?

10/6/2009 7:38:00 PM

mike muthafuckin richards!!! HAT TRICK

^and i'm pretty sure if one of your players score a goal or have an assist during a powerplay it counts as a PPP.

[Edited on October 6, 2009 at 8:48 PM. Reason : ]

10/6/2009 8:32:17 PM

it does

10/8/2009 3:45:32 PM

simple as that though? a goal or assist during a power play = 1 PPP? i heard of some leagues where a power play goal was like 1.5 PPP or something, but maybe that league was off

10/8/2009 3:47:53 PM

anybody know anything about Kari Lehtonen's timetable for a return? i can't find anything...

10/13/2009 12:22:50 PM

i completely forgot I had this league. Time for me to pay attention. I got 4 wins, at least (National Bohemians).

10/13/2009 12:28:58 PM

also, i'm thinking of picking up Patrik Elias who is unowned in my league due to being on IR (probably in place of David Booth). he should be back by the end of Oct. how long should i wait to pick him up? is it worth it?

[Edited on October 13, 2009 at 12:39 PM. Reason : i guess i could pick him up now considering Booth isn't doing anything for me...]

[Edited on October 13, 2009 at 12:49 PM. Reason : also, where will Elias likely fit into NJs depth chart when he returns?]

10/13/2009 12:37:45 PM

oh shit i got a shorthanded assist

10/15/2009 10:20:06 PM

all the stats are basically equal to each other

the scoring is based on cumulative statistics

10/16/2009 2:26:57 PM

yeah but iirc, last week i had no shorthanded goals or assists, my opponent had one SHG...they seem a little more rare, at least based on the small sample size of the season thus far

i mean shit, Ovechkin got me 13 shots on goal last night, that stat is plentiful, but i was just happy for myself that I got one of the less common stats like SHA

10/16/2009 3:00:42 PM

yeah i am trying to find out of they have different values but from what I can find, in head to head, its just cumulative

10/16/2009 4:48:45 PM

yeah i know...i had a basketball league that had regular categories like points, rebounds, assists, etc, but i also had flagrant fouls in there...counted just as much as any other category, but they were fairly rare...usually that category would be one of the tied categories most weeks, thats how i anticipate SHG and SHA to be, although not as rare as flagrant fouls

10/16/2009 4:56:14 PM

yeah it prob will

10/19/2009 10:36:47 AM

ha 2 of my goalies were named First Star of the Week and Second Star of the Week last week

10/20/2009 1:11:26 PM

who's winning the league? i'm currently in first in my rotisserie league.

12/2/2009 8:39:46 PM

nice. i'm not really sure how the scoring for your league works (head to head), but it looks like you had a good week last week.

i see someone picked up afinogenov last week too. i picked him up a couple weeks ago and he's been hot of late and a great addition to my team.

12/2/2009 8:51:41 PM

I picked up Datsyuk and Savard on waivers

lol

12/2/2009 8:52:47 PM

i actually have mike fisher on my team too.

[Edited on December 2, 2009 at 8:55 PM. Reason : see his name too]

12/2/2009 8:55:23 PM

I credit some of my success to lucking out and getting Ovechkin...I hope his injury isn't too serious...they said he was skating around before practice a day or two ago

12/2/2009 11:32:19 PM

of course yahoo didn't say anything about Semin returning today. (reports called for tomorrow)
so i sit him and his line for the night (so far) is:
1g 2a +1 2ppp

[Edited on December 3, 2009 at 9:04 PM. Reason : make that 2g 2a +2 2ppp. fuck me.]

12/3/2009 9:03:09 PM

bump

4/11/2010 3:37:43 PM

down to the wire!

If Anderson gets this shutout for Colorado, I'll be feeling pretty good

4/11/2010 4:44:21 PM

I'm fucked if he gets the shutout.

I need some assists and a Brodeur win.

4/11/2010 5:15:11 PM

Assists and shots on goal are gonna be pivotal

fuck there goes the shutout

Save % is gonna be big too

damn i'm 4 minutes from a shutout and i get a loss

[Edited on April 11, 2010 at 5:28 PM. Reason : .]

4/11/2010 5:17:51 PM

i'm pretty sure i've got 1st in my league wrapped up. i'll wait until it's official to post a screenshot, but i don't think there's anyway i can be caught.



first fantasy league i've won.

4/11/2010 6:11:11 PM

^^Just saw that...lol

Save % is crucial. Brodeur will probably be the player who decides the championship.
