Fantasy Hockey Season 2007-08


Recommended Posts

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 ;)

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

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.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
