#2 Fantasy Hockey League 2007-08


Recommended Posts

My girlfriends great oma's (101 yrs old) health is failing, so I was visiting there, and unfortunately missed the draft. But at least I din't set a partial draft list this time around and got a more varied set of goalies.

I had to look up what you guys were talking about. Usually the season doesn't start to Oct 3rd or so.

This year there is a two game series that is taking place in the U.K. before the rest of the season kicks in.

Whomever gets me for the next five weeks is going to have an easier time of it. I'm going to turtle up for a while and hope to get at least one decent defenseman off the IR. I also picked up a third goalie which wasn't in my original plans.

Everyone in the other league seems desperate for a third goalie due to the size of the league (14 players). I don't suppose that overcompensating here will help my other team but at least it gives me some variety. With 8 players we should all be able to carry three starting goaltenders and still have a few left over.

I just gained another IR player and I have a goalie that's DTD who I wouldn't be surprised if he hit the IR too.

So, for those who are counting at home, I have 3 IR players and one DTD. I have none in my other league.

Edit: Lehtonen's place on the IR is all but assured. That will put me at 4 players on the IR.

Waddell said Lehtonen could "be out a while."

I have Shea Weber on IR right now, but it's only 3-6 weeks so I think I'll keep him. Then I have Hejduk on DTD from a sore back, so he should be back soon. He might even be playing tonight.

Well, I was drunk and took a rumor as truth and dropped bouwmeister who was doing **** all for me anyways and picked up Forsberg. Does not having a full D line hurt me?

I had (or maybe have) only three healthy D. Will it hurt, yes. Will it kill you, no. You'll mostly notice it on Saturdays and maybe one day during the week. If you have a properly balanced team then you should have all of your spots in use on a Saturday.

Eh bouwmeister(SP!) was doing **** all for me anyways. Might as well have someone who can't lose me the plus minus category.

Damn, I was up by a lot this entire week, and then I go away for the weekend without web access and I wasn't able to change the roster around so now I'm not sure how everything will end up. :(

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
