OT: FREE HFNYR Yahoo Fantasy Hockey Pool (Harbour Dog wins, but Jovo runner up)

[KevinFinnerty]

So I started my team during our first game and I forgot the second game to press start lineups but I’m pretty sure I pressed start players all week.

Lol both of my goalies are injured.

Lol, you're not alone. There are a few guys in hard shape for goalies right now. Meanwhile Reaves Bullying Wilson has stockpiled four solid ones and might win every 'W' matchup until the end of time haha

For most of us, we are just going to need to focus on meeting the 3-start minimum each week.

I think you beat me? I see a score of 2-7

The match continues until the end of Sundays games, so you can still come back in categories yet!

Also, I'm not playing you this week. Looks like it's dactyl!

 

[LokiDog]

I was blessed with Bern and his zero D or G this week. Essentially a 1 win head start.

He’s still trying to figure out how to make players switch positions like they do in his lineup ideas

Not even sure it would help him; he drafted Boo Nieves in the 2nd round.

Yeah I keep thinking there’s got to be someone better than Ned out there, then I scroll through available goalies and it’s barren. 20 teams, at least 2 goalies each - makes sense but man it’s tough

 

[Overcast]

So if our goalies don't play 3 games per week, we just don't get any points for whatever goalie stats do accrue for that week?

What happens if we drop a goalie who already played/put up stats this week? Would those then get erased since they would be off my roster?

Pretty sure you keep the stats for dropped player, yup. Goalie starts should be included in that.

I don't know for sure, though; so I taks no responsibility! Haha

Edit - also, I think if you don't meet the start requirement and your opponent does, they 4-0 you, regardless of how they performed.

I have all my adds used for the week, so I haven't looked; but I'll definitely be taking a peek on Monday!

@haveandare

I wasn't completely honest yesterday. I'd been eyeing up Drouin to add as soon as I could...

 

[Overcast]

Assuming I'm screwed if I didn't get my 3 goalie games by today

Yup, pretty sure that is a 4-0 loss on the goalie section. Unless you wanted to grab Ottawa's third stringer in case they decide not to play Forsberg in back-to-backs haha

Yeah I thought maybe he was putting it together but after seeing him during the game it kind of drove it home. Weird progression timeline for sure but he does look like he’s getting it. I like to have one wildcard slot. Had McTavish there but Drouin seems a better bet for now

 

[haveandare]

Ugh that’d suck. I’ll take the point but my GAA is over 5 lol it’s not very deserving

Hahah this was inevitable, I didn't read the CBA. Lesson learned!

 

[Harbour Dog]

@Overcast @haveandare

Fair warning to you both. Gustavsson is the most likely starter for Ottawa tonight, according to dailyfaceoff. One last chance to meet those starts, or block the other guy from meeting them lol

Went to grab Drouin and he was picked 3 minutes before I could.

It’s a waste land of whom is available for goalie. 20 team league is hard to cover. I grabbed Murray whom was dropped just for that reason. He might be for sale once he comes back.

There’s always a goalie or two who comes from nowhere and has a good season. Just so hard to predict who it is

This is OT but do you know how long I’ve been waiting for dark mode on this freaking site? Years.

I can’t for the life of me understand why so many people prefer looking at bright white text on a black screen, absolute eyesore to me. Light mode >>>

It’s just easier on my eyes. The funny thing in college 20million yrs ago one of the graphic design professors did mention white on black isn’t a easily readable scheme.
