lol, thanks for the heads up. I am completely unfamiliar with how a lot of this stuff works. So in other words... I really need a goalie.

The problem is that you have one and half goalies (a #1 goalie and a backup). Some people may have 3 legit #1 goalies. That's a big difference.

You need to ensure that you get three goalie starts in each week. Sometimes, you can do that with only one #1 goalie but you would need to closely watch it other weeks.

Surprisingly they even gave me the victory in the shutout category even though I had zero. They counted your goalie scores as less than zero. Harsh.

Before I closed my StatTracker applet (that was running for days), it showed Pascal Leclaire as being benched yet I was sure that i activated him this afternoon (from another computer). The key item here is that he got a shutout against Buffalo.

I attempted to close the StatTracker applet and reopen it (in a mild panic) but it did not open to anything other than a blank page.

I don't seem to be getting all the scores on the "My Team" page either but at least it shows Leclaire as an active goalie with Toskala riding the bench. That gave me a bit of relief.

Edit: It was a web browser problem and not a Yahoo problem. StatTracker is working properly now.

Hey Fred, I saw your message about making this a keeper league, but unfortunately Yahoo doesn't do keeper leagues and I think the turn-over of managers from season to season is too great to keep a consistent keeper league going should we decide on running our own. It's also a lot of work on the commish to set up the rosters for every player.

I'm in a Yahoo league that's set up as a keeper league. We host a draft on the forums which takes roughly 2-3 weeks by the time it's done, and then the commish has to set up each team's rosters.

I got screwed by goal tending this week. Hopefully my new acquisition of Lalime will get me some more starts. I heard something about Khabibulin not playing quite as much this year. But yeah I went up from about 8 1 to a tie at 5- 5

Goalies are key in this being worth up to 4 points at the end of hte week. I got slaughtered in my first two weeks because i didnt have enough goalie starts, same with the week before last. I finally have consistancy now with Garon and Hedberg, and Huet usually pulls in some good numbers. Lalime is free I believe...

I just grabbed Manny Fernandez since he is expected back within a week or so. His salary is 4x that of Tim Thomas so he should take over the #1 spot eventually (or so my thinking goes).

This may mean that Vesa Toskala is available but I may wait for a better market on him.

^^ Don't be so sure. Thomas is playing very well (4th in GAA) so Boston might want to stick with the hot hand for a while, i mean, look at what happened in Colorado when Theodore was brought in.

Boston is such a historically cheap franchise that it would probably kill them to pay a starter to just collect dust. I expect TT to get a lot of starts but I think that Fernandez will, at least, share the starting duties.

Lets hope, for my sake at least, your wrong.

In other news, Havlat returns to the Blackhawks lineup and promptly get two goals. Im happy with that :)

So says disgruntled Leafs fan who traded Tuuka Rask for Andrew Raycroft ;)

Tim Thomas is injured enough that the Bruins went out and got Alex Auld to backup Turka Rask while Manny Fernandez completes a reconditioning stint in the minors.

Based on that bit of information, I am prepared to make Vesa Toskala available (and use Manny F.) or make Manny F. available (and stick with Vesa T.)

It seems I may end up with a useful part after all.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
