Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 15, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 15, 2007 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.

bayrider Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I need a RW. If anyone is interested in any of my players, particularly my Centers, throw me an offer.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) 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.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 23, 2007 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2007 Sometimes Yahoo does not make injured players IR eligible even on serious injuries. Take Sheldon Souray, for example, has Edmonton not placed him on the team IR or is Yahoo just slow to respond?

bayrider Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 The team must place the player on the IR for Yahoo to do so. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/584506-fantasy-hockey-season-2007-08/page/5/#findComment-588939958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 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.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted November 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2007 I am slowly acquiring all of the league's unreliable players.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted November 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 12, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/584506-fantasy-hockey-season-2007-08/page/5/#findComment-588988749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted November 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2007 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...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted November 29, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 29, 2007 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.

mikebiacsi Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 ^^ 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.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted December 7, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2007 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.
