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*

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
