EHM The Blue Line

Boston points seem to be fine for me. Kobasew has his 2 assists.

Though, it's probably still ESPN. Looking at the season stats column on the standings page, both Karlstad Killers and Mighty Ducks of Getzlaf have a +/- rating of minus 1.7 octzillion.

...which makes the column too big even for my 28 inch monitor.

EDIT: Anyone know what the deal with Martin Straka is? It turns out, the Rangers' own site as well as NHL.com don't have him on the Rangers roster... yet ESPN and Yahoo! sports are saying he's with the Rangers. And I didn't see him in Prague, either.

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind, it appears he's playing in Czech Republic... according to Wikipedia and the HC Lasselsberger Plzen roster. Had me fooled.

Hmmm... that's really strange. I wonder why I'm not showing any stats from the Boston vs Colorado game?

Mine are fine. And PS...sure happy that Bernier and Bieksa trade had not gone through yet. Those points from Bernier and Bieksa really helped me!!!

Glad I waited to confrim.

I wondered about you taking Straka...I knew he was not back

My stats from the Bruins vs Avalanche game are showing now. Must've just been slow to update?

Not the best of starts to the year. 0 Points, 1 Goal wasted and 6 Goals Against!

Pretty darn Appalling!

That's what I get for hating the Rangers. I follow their team/player news like Americans follow the Al Qaeda Times.

Wahoo, My First point of the year. Thank you Corey Stillman.

I like the way ESPN notifies you of a goal in the league. Top Stuff.

Yeah, that real-time stuff is a lot of fun to follow.

I've got a tab open on my team page, one on the league standings, and one on the current day's real-time scores.

The league standings is really slow for me when it updates. Probably just my shed struggling to cope with the demands of... anythin!

This start to the season is really bad for me.

Anyone else have a roster loaded with players playing tonight? I've only got four players that aren't scheduled with a game.

Also, I need serious ATOI help. Anyone got any reasonable offers?

That could be done. I'll see if I can find some spare time and sort it out for ya

LoXish - you can now put your fantasy hockey team name under your avatar. Go to your Edit Profile page and you will find a section to add this info. Thanks for the suggestion

Also, if you click on the 'Fantasy Pick Em' link in the header, it will take you straight to our Minstrel Memorial Cup page on espn.com.

Everyone in my team is playing tonight, except for my two little duckys.

I didnt dress Pietrangelo. Blah. He finsihed with a +1 and 18 minutes of TOI.

Ales Kotalik is my only player not playing tonight. We're gonna need to make some wise bench decisions tonight.

Didn't even know about the early game between Isles and Sabres. Didn't have time to activate Craig Rivet from the bench. He gets an assist, was plus 2 and gets 25 minutes of penalties...

I'm off to a great start today.

Kotalik: 1 goal, 2 assists, 4 PIM, 1 PPG

And then Hagman, who I just acquired today gets me a goal, 6 SOG, and almost 22 minutes.

EDIT: Also, this is probably better said toward the end of the season, but don't forget about the 'max. & pace' link on your team page. This link outlines(in a very basic way) your position usage versus the max. start limits.

Although, I have yet to figure out what the 'Pace' column actually represents. I'm assuming it's a projection of what we'll end with based on our current usage, but that's just a guess... so if anyone figures that column out let us/me know.

OMG! I had Boyes and Gagne on the BENCH! ARGH!

The Blues route of Maple Leafs helped me out today.

Gotta say, whomever has Tkachuk made a seriously good pick.

5 PPG. What the hell.

Kay...I need PIMs and ice time...anyone got any we can work on a deal?

At the moment batdad, i think most of my team is on the block because of the most horrendous start in the world. Let me know who your interested in and we'll try sorting something out.

There is only one...and I highly doubt you would deal him.

Lol, getzlaf, most horrendous start in the world? Bit over the top maybe?

batdad - does Samsonov appeal as a scoring winger? Also, Rivet, Staios and possibly Regehr are available. One of them for Ohlund or Hainsey?

I'd like to offer trades on ESPN's site but my account has been banned for 24 hours for releasing all my players in another league because no-one was taking it seriously haha.

My guys are off to a seriously slow start. Even Crosby is stinking up the joint. Of course, that will change.

Ohlund or Hainsey are too much to pay for either Rivet or Staios. You would have to seriously make it up to me up front. Samsonov? No thanks. Rivet I would look at in the right deal, and maybe even Regehr...but not for Ohlund or Hainsey. Not now the way Hainsey is going anyway.

Of the guys you named I would look only at Rivet or Regehr. Staios is not a fave of mine, nor is Sergei...but Matty and Ron ain't moving. Bergeron, Lydman, Girodano, and even barker are possibilities. (I know Barker ain't there now..but he will be soon..the Hawks D is horrid)

But when I look at your roster...not sure we could work out a deal with D...add in a F each...even then not sure. Raymond Hainsey and Bergeron for Regehr, Winnik, Staios?

I dunno.

batdad wrote:There is only one...and I highly doubt you would deal him.

And who would that be? I may be willing to trade any1 for the right price.

The season aint panning out like i expected though. Crosby and Ovechkin just 2 points, Marleau playing well... Ducks 0-3, Getzlaf pointless! I'm sure it'll change all soonish.

My team is -22, that's abysmal!
