Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

That's another unique and weird situation in that the player Soli took got cut and the player he replaced him with hasn't played yet (and was originally taken by him haha).
Like I said, both situations are okay in my book. It's been a weird year with cuts, injuries, and other stuff so a little flexibility is necessary.

Yeah, what Cerebral said!
Hadn't played, wasn't like I took points. He still may not even get loaned out.
Forsling could very well still play, but if JTS wants to take the replacement I'd be fine with it. I wouldn't think it's fair to take a player that had already put up points though. But I'll leave those decisions to Cerebral.

Was happy with my day, but both Kempe/Zacha got injuries.
Soli had terrible luck today, Nylander and Eriksson Ek got hurt + Samsonov on the pine. However, it sounds like Pastrnak is coming back.
JTS I think Forsling will play in this tourney, just not sure when.
Think the Leftovers have a chance of a top 3 finish.

ERIKSON EK GOT HURT?!?!?!
but...
Timo Kessler got 5 and a game for a hit to the head of Eriksson Ek, not sure if concussion protocol is in effect but he did talk to reporters after the game.

Paralyzer, I'm gonna make you the owner of the leftover scoreboard post. Looks like you're going through it pretty regularly. I'll also keep tabs on it as well.

something to consider for discussion for rules for next year
1)once you drop a player you can not pick him back up later
2) Once the puck drops for a team you can no longer add or drop a player from that team
Sorry to pick on Soli--but he dropped one guy replaced him and then picked him up later after the team the player will play for played
I found out one my D-men was questionable AFTER Sweden puck had dropped and let it ride

Thanks, I'll be updating the standings daily so I can update their scoreboard.
BTW JTS, Sweden still has time to add a D-man but it sounds like Forsling was close to getting in against the Swiss, he's a game-time decision against the US but because of the importance of the game, I'd expect him back in.

Im not sure what you'd expect me to do otherwise. I didn't know Guryanov was cut till after Russia played. Hell, I wouldn't have known at all if it wasn't for Paralyzer. Was I just to play a man down the entire tournament? I even picked a player that hadn't played a game yet in the tournament. I don't think what I did was shady at all and it's not as if Pastrnak was exclusive to my selection. Hell, he wasn't even picked as a Leftover!
I posted the Forsling information ~20 hours in advance of Sweden's puck drop. He wasn't cut, he wasn't registered, he still had a chance to play.
Done. Thanks!

I would prefer not to create any hard and fast rules as we haven't needed any for the previous eight years we've run this draft. The generally accepted rule is that your team is locked in once the tournament starts and that you definitely can't add any players once they have played a game. However, given the strange rash of injuries this year as well as the odd timing of Pastrnak's release (which was a weird move by Boston), I don't think we really have an issue.
In Soli's case, he took Pastrnak somewhat early in the draft and ended up having to take a weaker player after dropping him. Had Pastrnak have played the first game, it obviously wouldn't have been okay for him to add him to his roster. This is all in good fun and to me, it takes away some of the fun if we force a GM to play a man down because his player got dropped at the last second.
In any event, other GMs can feel free to pipe up if they have any other insight. I think we're fine though - Soli really didn't get any sort of advantage as he selected Pastrnak earlier in the draft, dropped him, and then just picked him up again later. No harm no foul in my books. It's been a weird year and I think we just need to treat it like that.

To me, if an injury happens once the tournament already starts (ie. Nylander or Erikkson-Ek), that's just craptastic luck and something you have to deal with. If an injury or cut happens before the tournament starts, you should have the opportunity to replace that player.
Again, it's just for fun and it's not really all that fun if you are playing a man or two short for the entire tourny. Likewise, I wouldn't want to win just because I happened to have a team with all eligible players.

My one saving grace may be that Krejci went down and Pasta doesn't play center. Hopefully.. Hopefully... he's already in Finland, hopefully they just leave him be.

Soli 3
JTS 3
40oz gets an extra point because they awarded Alex Nylander with a 4th assist from the first game.
Pastrnak is IN for today's game so Soli you at least get him for one.
Pavel Zacha is OUT because the hockey gods don't like me.
Gustav Forsling is IN for Team Sweden.

I loses the shut out points, but the goal that was scored both my russians assisted on so at least there is that.

Man, I didn't expect two underagers in Laine and Puljujarvi to rip it up so much. Laine looks unreal - what a release on his shot. He's a dream linemate for McDavid!

Absolutely, they're significantly outplaying their older/drafted/AHL teammates in Rantanen and Kapanen.
