Fantasy NHL Hockey League

Well, I'm very happy to get Marian Gaborik. For one thing, he helps my right winger situation.

The best case scenario has him returning mid-December and the worst case scenario is "but it may take much longer" which is undoubtedly scary. Still, as long as nobody else gets injured, I can park him on IR until then.

So I hope that everyone with a worse waiver position than me attempted to get him so I can say "In your face!" (but that would be rude and immature). :D

Hopefully he heals like Mats Sundin (take whatever the doctors say and divide it in half).

Incidentally, this latest move officially means that every player that I traded Marc Andre Fleury for has been dumped while Bayrider still is enjoying what he received. Perhaps not the greatest trade in the world.

Yeah, I missed the draft here (but I made the draft in Neowin Basketball).

I'm supposed to know a hell of a lot more about hockey than basketball but it isn't really showing at this point. :blush:

Well, I just checked. 5 out of 12 isn't bad (except that at least two players are inactive). I just had a bad week going 2-7-2. Still bitter actually. :D

I'm up against one of the suspected inactive players this week. Let's hope I go 9-2 or something to that effect. I won't be here to micro-manage it though since I'm going AWOL for a bit but I have my rosters set (barring injuries).

I'm still waiting for Ales Hemsky to be put on the IR. It's been a week now.

It isn't a problem because I'd have to take Gaborik off the IR and he isn't ready yet anyway. Still, I don't understand why teams don't officially put someone on the IR list when they know he won't be back until January.

Stats didn't update properly again last night. Actually, they did for basketball, just not for hockey.

I ended up dumping Ales Hemsky because they seem determined not to place him on the IR and he isn't playing well this season anyway.

I picked up Daniel Sedin for some reason although I need left wingers like I need a hole in the head.

No stat updates again today. Perhaps I should post when they do work?

Again Basketball did update. They recently added a hockey highlight button. That probably screwed their code.

Edit: They're working now.

Edit2: Not a good week to be facing Sidney Crosby.

Sorry, Fred. I made sure I wanted him number one, which has turned out well, except I haven't been paying attention to the pool.

I just snapped up Peter Bondra in both my hockey leagues. I think he's averaging a point a game since his return (from nowhere).

Oh all weeks for him to step it up, he has to pick my week...

I gather than NHL teams can only place one player on the IR list. Ottawa has Mike Fisher on their IR so then they can't place Jason Spezza on even though they know he'll be out until after the All-Star break?

Hopefully Mike Fisher comes back soon and they place Spezza on retroactively. I see teams do that sometimes, presumably to get over the 15 minimum listing time.

Meanwhile, I could use the roster spot.

There are rumours that Toronto will trade for a new #1 goalie. Meh.

I think we should be able to place players on the IR independent of the NHL clubs. The only restriction should be that they have to stay there for a minimum of 15 days (and none of this retroactive stuff that the big clubs can get away with).

I'd like to put Spezza on the IR and call up somebody from FA to help my team. Likewise, whomever owns Kyle Wellwood on Neowin Hockey is probably thinking the same thing. If we place somebody on the IR and they come back to the real NHL sooner than expected (like Sergei Federov) then we should have to pay the penalty for our gamble and wait the rest of the 15 days until we are able to activate him again.

Man, I wish we had an empty spot for 'Util' players just so that we could have more players on the roster.

With Buttman's new NHL, it seems like the entire league plays on Tues/Thurs/Sat, and hardly anyone in between. On those days I have a hard time deciding who plays and who sits out!

Well, I certainly picked the right two last night. The Sedin twins were on fire. 3 goals and 6 assists combined.

Raycroft being hot has rocketed me from the doledrums to 3rd place. It helped getting Gaborik back from the IR too.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
