Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

It's a loooooong season my friend. Many, many changes.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Its very lonely at the bottom... at least Tom is sticking around to keep me company.

I am getting killed by injuries already =( At least Datsyuk should be playing for me finally!

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

So who wants to move a top tier goaltender for Vinny L, Kovalchuk or even Crosby?

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

My team couldn't find the net with a beach ball, Dan. :mad:

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

I might be tempted to move Luongo. I will think on it

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Gimme Lundqvist and your scoring problems will magically solve themselves!

:D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

...and create a whole new set! :r

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

I know I will get no sympathy here because of where I am in the standings (which changes quite drastically DTD), but I just have to ***** about the fact that I have SEVEN players on IR??? WTH is up with that!?! And we're not talking about a bunch of chumps, either. Our league has five IR spots and I thought that was crazy. Now I know that it is not enough! Ha!

OK, I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Injuries seem to be way up in the NHL for early in the season, I have had 6 on the IR already.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Especially since one of them was placed on the IR, then you grabbed him. ;)

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Zing! :D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

DOH! :lv

OK, so I can only complain about six of them. :D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Consider yourself lucky that your injured players are actually getting put on the IR list. I think I still have 4 injured guys that I really dont want to get rid of.. but they arent listed as IR so they are still taking a roster spot :td

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

That blows. I have had to deal with that before. It ties your hands, for sure.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

First day out of the basement since the season began.....:wo

Sorry Dan....don't worry, I am sure I will be back there tomorrow.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

damn you! :mad: Im about ready to just give up this season. This is painful

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

I spent the season a couple years ago near last place until March, and ended up in second. My advice would be not to quit.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

:tpd:

Especially in a rotisserie league. All it takes is a couple shorthanded points and you move up big time. The great thing about rotisserie is that you are never really out of it.

Go Tom Go!!

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Uhhh.. what just happened with our games played/left numbers?!

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Hmmm...my guess is Yahoo will have this glitch worked out by tomorrow. If not, I will send a help request.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Looks like it across the boards problem in Yahoo Hockey leagues, so I am sure it will get fixed quickly.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Good deal. I was trying to figure out how I was going to fill all those games:confused: On the flip side it mighta made it interesting as we tried to drop and pickup players for certain nights

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

The standings are in perfect order. :D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

What's up with the maximum games count? I know how it works, but mine went from negative numbers like -6 & -9 to positives overnight +2 & +5.

I can understand a small swing of maybe 2-3 if you have all positions filled, but the swing I had was drastic.

:confused:

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Dan noticed a few weeks ago that they were wrong, and I found that to be true throughout Yahoo Fantasy Hockey.

AT that time, I went from being +2 or 3 in most categories to high "minus" numbers. Looks like they finally got it all corrected. Unfortunately for some of us, it put us in the high "plus" numbers. I thought the "newer" stats might hold true for the season, and planned my roster accordingly. Now it has come back to bite me, and apparently you too.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Yeah, it was off by seven games for several weeks. Caused by their stat provider thinking there were 32 teams in the NHL instead of 30 (they added the all star teams). The current numbers are correct.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

it put the bite on us all...so how are the big boys doing?

Not good. :r

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Reference the current message on our fantasy hockey page:

This should not have any effect of us as we are not a head-to-head league.

Great season so far, good luck to all after the Olympic Break!

What are you doing in first place, Tom? It's only February! :D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

I did the opposite than I usually do...I languished near the bottom until February, instead of being in first for 5 months and tanking! :r

Home stretch time. I was making ground and thought I had an outside chance at 2nd but have lost ground in the last couple of days. It's now officially a battle between Tom and Bigwaved. Should be an exciting finish! :tu

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Not necessarily, Brett...my games management was poor the first half, and I am almost done at all positions besides defense. Hoping to hold on to one of the two "money" spots, but I think you have a decent chance for 1st or 2nd based on your better game management. :)

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Yeah, I have about 30 games extra, but in most of the categories that I could gain points I am way behind the person ahead of me. Too difficult to gain points. My only chance is if my goalies turn into stone walls but since they haven't done that for the first 75 games of the season, why would they start now? ;)

Won't stop me from trying, though. :)

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Been fun so far, Brett....keep plugging'! :tu

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

This season has been crazy, imo. My team is like Sybil. My strategy in the draft was not what I had hoped for. To be really honest, I am surprised that the standings are like they are. Tom is spot on with the end of the season will tighten up since both of us are running really low on games left with the offensive slots. A little off topic, who is willing to kidnap Glen Sather for me? He needs to just go away...:D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Maybe I'd do better, but after two years I still can't figure out how the scoring is calculated.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

My goalies have been pretty awful this year too(hey look at that we are tied for last in S% :r)

Need to try and move ahead of my fellow habs fan:D

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

If you ever make it to a herf I am at, we can discuss it in depth over some crappy cigars, Patrick.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Are you talking to me, Matt? ;)

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Here is to the last day of our season! I am stoked for the playoffs to begin. Nothin' better, imo.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Another well managed season, Dave. Well done! :tu

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Thanks. This was a really weird year, I think. I got some good production out of some 2nd tier players. Better to be lucky than good sometimes. :xxx

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

So did I lose yet? :hm

For the record, I was on top for almost 3 full days this season. :tu

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

I remember that! :r

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Good job Dave and Tom, My skaters were rock solid this year, but my goalies were terrible.

72/90 pts for skaters
14/50 pts for goalies

Time for some playoffs w00t!!!

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Your skaters were tough. that was for sure.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

Congrats to Bigwaved (Dave) on winning the 09-10 Alumni League!

...and to that DB icehog3 for taking 2nd. :lv

Thank you all for playing, I hope y'all had as much fun as I did, and that you will be back for '10-'11

Final StatTracker stats after the last game of the season have Dave with 105.5 points, Tom with 100 and Brett in 3rd with 97.5

I will send the winners' addresses to all of you via PM and e-mail. Please send 2 cigars to Dave and one to me as agreed upon before the season.

Please post DC numbers here in the thread so we can track everyone's packages.

Re: '09-'10 CA Fantasy Hockey Alumni League
 

DOH! So close, yet so far! Congratulations to the both of you. Well done. I'll get Tom's stuff out tomorrow and Dave's stuff out next week per his request.
