I suppose having that many Flames players is a good reason for the poor showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 All Star Break Idea: have all the North American leagues come together and all-star the same weekend to showcase the talents across leagues. Play them against their own leagues or integrate them with the NHLers. Men Women and teens and so on... anyone have any ideas on how to make all star weekend interesting? could be cool way for the top draft picks showcase themselves in the jr and college leagues.

travel_dude Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 At one time I was as close as 240 off the pace. Haven't been closer than 700 in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_People1 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 My D and G costed me probably 1000 points this season alone. I have scored the most goals in the whole league but D haven't chipped in with assists. Also second worst G stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scored the most goals in the whole league but D haven't chipped in with assists. Also second worst G stats. I had some real disasters. Wanted Buchnevich, got Kyrou. Meier is typically top shelf, but nearly alone, he absolutely devastated me this year. He's picked it up now, but half a year with him and an oft-injured Hughes pretty much crushed me. I bet on NJ and lost. Go figure. Thought Hill solved G for me, but a lot of IR. Anyone else notice that IR was really hard to come by this year? I had guys out for weeks without IR status. On the bright side, Harley, Duschene and Moore were great, for guys that should be the bottom of your roster. Top of mine. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 This season for me will go down as close but no cigar. My pre-draft ranking were big mistakes. Went high on D, so I drafted a lot of D. I have very few other players that met their draft rankings. My best pickups were Weegar and Sharky. Some of my higher draft picks were dropped. I had Couture for what seemed ages. Closest I got to Rocket was about 200 points in the middle of the season. Then the bottom fell out. No better than 4th this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Every time I get close in points to Rocket he seems to catapult to a big lead. If I would have stuck with just 2 or 3 trades after the draft this year i would probably be leading. But what fun is that, I enjoy moving players in and out of my lineup. Gives me my own little game within a game. I would be proud to come in second to Rocket but will be giving it my damnest till the end of the season.

I didn't pay attention to the post draft available players. At the time, I had a couple of players I really didn't want and had at least one on IR. You have to round out your lineup early on for sure. But adding a player as they start to break out is a good thing too. Sometimes I held on to a player too long, other times I gave up too early. The biggest mistakes I made was adding and dropping players based on schedule. There were a few weeks that I had all players on the same night, then nothing the next day. That's okay for a short time, but you have to look farther ahead. A short term fix sometimes made it worse. It's fun to add and drop, but usually I added and dropped at the wrong time.

rocketdoctor Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 4.25 points in the lead with 2 days left. But unfortunately the Oilers have 2 games left and that is probably bad news for me and grerat news for Redfire!! That Dylan Cousins drop with one game left on his schedule (schmuck went and got 43 points the night I dropped him) could really hurt me. However it ends, it has been a lot of fun for my first hockey draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great season for you, almost wire-to-wire. And the other contender drains a 30 footer while you double bogie on the 17th hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally disappointed the chat feature was shut down all season. Makes interacting in the pool very difficult. Yahoo probably did this to force everyone to download their [s]spyware[/s] app and I'm in protest of that. Beginners luck? @flames-fan-in-jets-land won last season as a rookie too.

The only reason I won was that there was a re-scheduled game after the last NHL games played. That allowed me to drop everyone but those two teams that were playing. Unlike the Flames winning game 82 last year, that wasn't a moral victory for me. It was just playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Well Done rocketdoctor nice win on your 1st season. I guess I'll continue to be the bridesmaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Rocket Doc does the nasty. Was only able to get within 200 points at the best part of my season. Then he jumped to 800 point lead and I couldn't get any closer than 720. Well played Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketdoctor Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 well got to say it was close. Down to a 0.75 point lead with one night of games left. Some last minute roster changes got me over the line. The Brit wins!! 😊😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
