Fantasy Hockey Season 2007-08


Recommended Posts

Garon has been doing pretty well for me, and Sabourin played a good game before I dropped him for Toivenin(sp) I just need to have someone who will be playing until Huet is back. Luckily for me Legace is injured. (and that I have Vokoun in my second league... I am definitely being burned by Jagr and Kovalev in the past week though...

Ty Conklin is 6-0 while filling in for the injured M.A. Fleury. I picked him up in both leagues.

I was initially annoyed that I didn't get Ramo when he was available since it was discussed that he could be the starter for the rest of the year in Tampa. His numbers, however, just haven't been there.

Umm. I think I let my trade offer to Staffan linger a little too long. I think his stats were better than that when I proposed it.

The other factor is that I now have Carcillo back (another left winger) so my position imbalance is not so iniquitous as it once was.

Oh well. I better win the PIM category each and every week because anything else will be a failure.

Since I always end up with the same guys in both leagues, I need Rob Blake to be placed on the IR. He has a broken leg and Yahoo hasn't even bothered listing him as DTD.

Also, the Avery trade may prove fortuitous since my #1 PIM generator has found himself in the minors. Apparently the team is ticked that he gets so many game misconducts. I wasn't complaining, they were 10 PIMs each.

I was oh so very happy to slip into the #2 position until I realized that the #6 spot was only 6 points away. This is a very tight playoff race since the #7 and #8 teams are only slightly behind.

I'm up against an inactive this week so I better use this to pull ahead.

List of inactive players (to make a note for next year):

4 sub par weeks for me = 4 drops in the standings. Gah! Hopefully I can turn the ship around.

There is still a playoff, right? At the end of the season (last three weeks)?

How many teams advance to the playoffs? I seem to remember six fantasy teams...But it could have changed.

Indeed. 6 teams make it. Top 2 seeds get a bye. Under the league tab you will see the standings. Above the standings is 4 tabs. Click playoffs and the brackets as of today are listed.

its what happens when you are from toronto... zing! (my team was terrible...)

That was a low blow! Ah well I'll be laughing when Price crumbles in the playoffs and you realize how dumb trading Huet was :p *NOTE: This was more of a bitter retort than my actual belief. I like Price a lot*

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
