Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
Just wait for the dictator to set the rules, he'll switch everything back it was against the rules. 
I can see the positive with having such a deadline rule in place. Top teams that released good injured or slumping players for a short term success feeds the draft some extra players, indirectly evening out the teams a bit.

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
Yeah, we don't do that in this league. I had forgotten to lock the settings.
No big deal. I moved them back.
Sorry for not having this as a clear rule!

Beaten in the final again! Ahhh! Another good year, any news on potential replacements, a little more activity would make the league 100x more fun!visualdarkness wrote:It was a close one, I was praying that Perry wouldn't score a GW at the end. Goalies won the game for me!
One question though. People have began to get players from the FA in the offseason already, are we allowed to this year?
Congratulations Surahammar! Them goalies did me in, but there were so many categories that could have changed on that final day!

Maybe it is time to start looking for who is and will be active already? So we maybe could start the search for new guys early on.

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
I've totally forgot about the fantasy league. The trophies needs to be assigned as well.
I will be around to run it (it doesn't take very much effort)

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
Cool! Last time I checked the league website it was under maintenance
Turns out it's Stinson that needs to do the activation. He is the one who created the league and for some reason can't leave it
EDIT: I found a way to activate the league myself!

Now, to the part I hate the most, selecting keepers.

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
Is there anybody quitting? It would be nice if we could prepare to fill open spots a couple of weeks before the draft.
