there can only be 6 playoff spots. we are already at 10 teams so if we go any higher that will be 6 teams not making the playoffs which seems a bit high to me. what do you guys think? Here's who's signed up so far
*Intends to do $10 pool all you managers out there, what do you think about doing let's say an $8 buy in this year? post in this thread what you think. (btw i'm pretty sure mani is willing to hold the $) also when would you guys like to see the draft take place? what day & time? The cutoff is Sunday Sept 28 | ||

By roster expansion maybe do something like 3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, keep it at 4 D 2 util and 2 goalies. Same number of bench, maybe 1 extra bench, and IR spots too (2 IR spots do we usually have? Whatever it has been its usually been perfect). | ||

but if that's what you guys want to do then ok. we'll wait for a few more people to say what they'd prefer. two things for those who are interested in participating. first off, we're already full unless the other managers agree to increase the league size to 12. if we go to 12 you have a very low chance of making the playoffs, 6 teams will make it in and 6 teams will not. secondly, while we all find this fun, you have to realize this is a full 6 month commitment requiring full activity during the entire season! if you are not prepared to stay active the entire season then please don't join. | ||

As for expanding the league to 12 teams, i'm fine with that. But either we expand the league to 2 more teams, or we raise the minimum games played by a goalie to 4 from 3. I'm also fine with the draft timing =). EDIT: Let's not wait 10 more days if we have all 10 teams ready to draft though, so if we don't expand let's move up the draft date to this weekend. Or we could even find the 12 teams asap and still move the draft up to this weekend. | ||

![]() edit:regarding expansion and changes from last season: im fine with anyting you guys decide hm one thing i would ask for is if we can change the live draft time? it's like 4AM for me.. i didnt make it last year and i won't make it this year otherwise. it's not a big deal tho - if the time is good for most of the players i can pre-rank and skip it edit2: what about 01:00 - 08:00 tl.net/korean time? (18:00 - 01:00 CET) any day (maybe not late on a friday/saturday o.o) response? | ||

we're almost surely going to go ahead with the $10 pool, so if you haven't already please make sure you have 10 in your paypal account ready to go. once i talk to mani, (presuming he approves) we will all send our $10 to his paypal to hold. also regarding draft times, depending on whether mani wants to try and make the draft, some of you may have to sacrifice a bit of your early saturday evening in order to help mani participate. have to talk to him about that before we make any decisions though | ||

Also, I think it is only fair that everyone pays or no one. I dont want there to be a conflict with some non payment members knocking out paying ones etc. Lastly Ill probably just autodraft since I am usually the odd one out timezone wise. It doesnt bother me. | ||

So everyone can now send in their $10 to mani's paypal: removed Mani asked that everyone please include your TL username in the payment message when sending in the pool money so that he knows who has paid, so please include your username when sending it in. Please do this asap because the draft will be at some point next weekend and I'd like to have the pool full before the draft starts! | ||

How do people feel about a Sunday afternoon/evening? Hak requested that we try to fit him in and in order to do that a time from 12:00-19:00 EST is what would best enable Hak to participate. On let's say Sunday Sept 28 because nobody should be busy on a sunday. What is your guys opinions on that range? | ||

last time i checked, football players don't get a 100mph puck to the face, go to the dressing room and get 60 second stitches, and then come out and play on the next shift what's the difference between football and hockey "body checks", except for the fact that in hockey the checks are delivered at twice as fast speeds because your skating as opposed to running? Oh and you have hard boards, glass, and ice to smash the victim against - as opposed to.... grass? how many football players are missing most of their teeth, and don't give a fuck? =P PS. yeah hockey involves men on ice skates, but football involves men in spandex.

Skilled positions imho (you are welcome to argue other positions that require skill as opposed to brawn): QB, definitely. Yeah, they have to be able to throw the pigskin and dissect the opposing team's defense. Receivers, they have to be able to catch the ball, but I mean it's catching a football, hockey goalies have to catch pucks going 90+ mph. Kickers, they have to be able to kick the ball with precision and form, big muscles don't mean anything here. RB, sort of. They gotta run fast. Okay, but the skilled RBs do excel. They know how to get in the mind of their opponent with mad jukes. So much depends on how strong you are. Strength in American eyes is fun to watch, but I don't think it makes a better sport. Thus, you cannot validate a response that hockey sucks. I think a "better sport" is something that requires athletes to have more than just brawn. Sports like golf require much brain but little brawn. (Chess: all brain-no brawn) I feel that hockey combines both. You have to be strong, fast, and smart to excel in the NHL. Steroids won't help you. How many NFL players we see busted for steroids as opposed to NHL? Big muscles can't help your skill, but big muscles can help you excel in a low skill sport like the NFL. MMA. Having big muscles and strength don't get you anywhere, I'm talking to you Kimbo Slice. dknight, I'm sorry to hear that you don't think that hockey is a worthy sport. Maybe it's less fun for you to watch so you find reasons to justify that hockey sucks compared to football. Whatever, I'm not here to psychoanalyze your thought process, I'm here to outwit you to why I feel that hockey does not suck, rather, it excels as a sport over football. Football has a greater entertainment value here in the US because we drive big SUVs and the strongest and baddest are the best. We stubbornly stick to the Fahrenheit, inches, and pounds. However, the rest of the world, whom I think has a better perception than proud dim-witted Americans, acknowledge sports of great skill. Football (the real one), Tennis, Table Tennis (no bullshit here), Hockey, Volleyball, and even the world has embraced basketball as a sport they can apperciate. (I find it rather odd that NFL still lacks a following outside of America, a tennis player gains international stardom but NFL stars are limited by the sphere of influence, which is only the US) I am American but I refuse to fall into American stubbornness and step out of what my peers think and think for myself what I feel is a good sport and what is a "sucky" sport. dknight, find a chair + Show Spoiler + and sit down, son. | ||

Barbera has the potential to drop a 5 goal game at any time. Kippy has got over that shit streak for the most part and Khabi has been getting time and playing ok. I just hope his situation gets worked out, cuz then I'll be fine. Dubinsky is gonna prove to be such a good pick up | ||

I don't see Boston slowing down anytime soon..and this is when 4 of their regular players are INJURED. I threw in Whitney because let's face it, Iginla is still a STAR player and that's the only way I could ever acquire Iginla, so wtf m8s? You want me to just trade Krejci straight up for Iginla, or should I throw in another point per game person? | ||

The truth is, I find it really hard to follow hockey anymore. I cannot watch it at all (except for online... at 10am...) and just following the news is unrewarding. I have switched my focus to sports that are actually shown on TV. So, I'm sorry for being a lousy player. I know it isn't fair for people who want to get into things. I will be sure to pay more attention to stuff and be current for the rest of the season. (Before I was just setting lines and not looking at results... thus my goalie situation) | ||

Mani so you watch Japanese Baseball now? Or Japanese hockey even! :O In anycase, this is an interesting trade since zymurgy will be without a goalie for at least another 1-2 weeks if the trade goes through. Considering he's tied for 6th and the final spot of the playoffs it's an interesting move by zymurgy. However, if he does make it without the help of Price and Brodeur returns to form, he could be a huge underdog in the playoffs. With 6 weeks to go, the 5th and 6th place will be a tight race, possibly even the 4th. | ||

he's had 2 starters all season and so it wouldn't be fair if the last guy that plays him gets free goalie cat wins because eti stopped keeping his roster tidy also anytime i add or drop players from an inactive teams roster it counts it as a move by my team so i just fixed it so that liquid comeback owns the moves not me. >> it's the last week of the season and most of the managers who know they aren't going to make the playoffs have completely stopped giving a shit. i think that's understandable but i just want to make sure that their last week sloppiness doesn't unfairly benefit any one who is in the playoff race to all the guys who are out of the playoff race, don't worry about any last week sloppiness, it's not a big deal, thanks a lot for being active all year and giving it your best ![]() | ||

Howevaaaaaa, I'm of the opinion that the more goalies the better (I rode first on this system). Your goalies besides Backstrom are kinda meh. Goalie accounts for 5 categories for you. If there's someone good on the waiver wires, I'd look to get him. At the very least, you will dominate W/SV if he's any good. | ||

It's not the amount it's the quality, i've been riding on luongo and nabby all year, and on boucher another goalie for a while when nabby was on IR. Really, you could drop bryzy and khabi right now and pick up another winger or two if you wanted. | ||

My team has 16 guys who can account for 6 stats. My goalies are 4 guys who account for four stats. Now take that further, and say that there's over 600 guys league-wide who can contribute those first six stats for offense, and 30 for goalie (or, to get liberal cuz a lot of goalie tandems now, let's say 45 legit goalies and maybe 5 elite) My four guys are gonna have more opportunities per week to dominate those stats. Plus, it helps that I'm a stat nerd and ride the fuck outta waivers and just pick up hot guys, so I'm able to make up the offensive slack Iunno, maybe it's just me, but I always like to stay heavy on the goalies. | ||

I think Halak has been getting more time, hasn't he? I'd imagine Vokun gets starts, since they're in a playoff push in FL, and Yann Dennis is on the Islanders, so yeah. But then again, they don't know how to properly tank a season, and always win this time of year. Check your season stats: You stronger offensively or in net? | ||

On March 17 2009 03:25 Hawk wrote: Yeah, quality does factor in. But I still think the more the better, if you draft well elsewhere. I'm just doing it like this, since I consider goalie stats to be a special market so to speak. My team has 16 guys who can account for 6 stats. My goalies are 4 guys who account for four stats. Now take that further, and say that there's over 600 guys league-wide who can contribute those first six stats for offense, and 30 for goalie (or, to get liberal cuz a lot of goalie tandems now, let's say 45 legit goalies and maybe 5 elite) My four guys are gonna have more opportunities per week to dominate those stats. Plus, it helps that I'm a stat nerd and ride the fuck outta waivers and just pick up hot guys, so I'm able to make up the offensive slack Iunno, maybe it's just me, but I always like to stay heavy on the goalies. But unlike the skater stats, 2 of our goalie stats are averaged. So no, having more chances isn't the same and you can't look at it the same way as if with the skaters. You have 2 solid goalies in kippur and mason, you don't need bryzy or khabi. As for wingsandrock, I woudn't be too concerned about picking up a 4th goalie. If you had to pick tho, I'd pick up Halak. Price has been doing very well, but he could flop over again anytime soon. I don't see boucher getting any starts until maybe near the end of the season, like last two games. Unless of course *knock on wood* Nabby gets the flu again or suffers some minor injury. | ||

I'm looking at the stats now, and next year, I need to do better on getting a scorer who picks up more PIMs. That's been my weakest point that I only started shoring up midway through. | ||

It's certainly not fool proof, that's for sure. That's why I love fantasy sports: So many ways to go about setting up your team. I'm looking at the stats now, and next year, I need to do better on getting a scorer who picks up more PIMs. That's been my weakest point that I only started shoring up midway through. Pft, you could drop Bryzy right now and pick up any of the 5 players with over 150PIM this season =P http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/18001/players?status=A&pos=P&cut_type=33&stat1=S_S_2008&sort=5 You have two, three even with Khabi back at full health star goalies. Khabi's a bit old but he'll get you good games still. Bryzy, not so much. We are both proof that two STAR goalies in this league will do it for you in goalie stats. Let's face it, Bryzy hasn't been all that of a huge impact on your goalie stats and chances are if you were sitting goalies, he was prob one of the ones you sat the most. | ||

Surprisingly, no one bit this year when I had four good and great guys, and we had quite a few teams with shit in net. I had one bite, Biron for Campbell at the beginning of the year...:D | ||

Man, Philly really has never settled down with a goalie for a long time since Hextall stopped trying to break the legs of forwards in his crease. I miss that fucker so much | ||

Yeah he has but ever since Halak went out with the flu it seems like Price has been moving back to the main goalie position I don't think I would need 4 goalies, I think 3 is fine but who would I drop? I was hoping Osgood would tank and Detroit goes with Conklin but it doesn't seem likely as of now =/ I think what I need would be a good RW or a good D-Men There was a shortage of good RW this year, and there is always a shallow pool for D-Men. At one point I had 5 LWs all of which I really did not want to let go. Krejci and Ray Whitney for Iginla, people vetoed, so I took a month or two and settled for Setoguchi instead. Sadly he's more than cooled down, he's frigid...sigh. | ||

Babcock said earlier in the season they'll rotate goalies every game then near the end he'll give Osgood more starts to get warmed up for the playoffs. I'm not sure if Halak will get the starting job..especially when it's close to the post-season cause isn't Price their franchise player? Edit: Someone just dropped Marc-Edouard Vlasic (SJ - D), Dennis Wideman (Bos - D) and Thomas Kaberle(Day-To-Day) Are any of those better then my current D-men right now? I'd pick up wideman, boston has just cooled down that's all, but if they pick it up again I'm sure wideman will do well too. I don't watch em often, but if i'm not mistaken he's on their first pp, half his points are off the pp so yah. He was also seen practicing, so his knee should be ok. Don't bother with Kabby, i don't think he'll rush back to play, Leafs don't expect to make it to the off season anyways. As for Conklin or Halak, well Conklin has been okay right now and Osgood is on fire, so I'd go with Halak, who might get to start again if Price is terrible tmrw. If Price isn't terrible, stick with Conklin. | ||

Also, PHI finally decides Briere can get off the 4th line, the day after i drop him. Also, Price seems to have given Halak another chance at starting. | ||

Holy crap. Thats some sick goalie stats. 5W, 0.80 GAA, and a .962% w/2 SO.....dear god. And regardless if I finish 3rd/4th, pretty happy considering my 2nd/3rd picks (Gaborik and Gonchar) played a total of 21 games this season. I missed the draft by an hour =[ | ||

so if you do the player transaction at 11:59 PM it will be completed at 12:01 AM but if you wait to do the same transaction at 12:01 AM it will not be completed until 12:01 AM the next day. so it can either take 2 minutes or 24 hours, just depends on whether you are on the ball enough to get it done before the cutoff | ||
