Can we start calling Martin Brodeur "Mar'in Broder" while we're at it? evil

Yeah, I remember those old Espy Awards.

So, I've never played one of these leagues.  Is it basically ideal to check the matchups each day to make sure your roster spots get the most games played, up to the 100 limit?  You'd want to sub in some guys when your mains had a night they don't play in order to get up to that maximum of 100, correct?  I'd think this would be most important for goalies, since most wont start more than 65-70 games, so you'd want to work in a backup to max out the games /played for those slots.

From the last two years, if you have a choice between starting a mediocre guy against a good team,  and leaving the spot open, you may want to leave it open. This will let you play more games with your better players.

Most people just sub people into the slots every day, and by the end of the season, you can't start any forwards because they've maxed out on games played.

Yeah, I'm confused how this works too. I have a bunch of good centers and my goalies are trash.

No, by watching him last year I could've told you he wasn't going to sparkle this year. Just age, I think. Plus he was always insulated by strong, extremely defensive Devils teams... and when they don't play well infront of him, he gets exposed a little. Especially nowadays.

Kind of a shame, because they have good puck control in the offensive zone...but get sniped at quickly on the defensive end.

Also, watching 4-0 shutouts in person is fun. :-D

Went to the Flames/Sharks game last night and it was the worst fucking game I've seen in a very long time. 20-17 were the shots, SJ had 1 shot in the 3rd (which they scored on). Terrible, terrible game.

By the way, in your faces for grabbing Kane right before all of you tried to pick him up.

That's my payback for Tim Thomas getting snagged while I procrastinated on who to drop. Turns out ANYONE was a good fucking choice.

They haven't played that many games yet, and the Roy/Vanek/ Max line is seeing the best checking lines so far, and just isn't jelling yet.  Buffalo has some major problems so far this year, just not putting out the effort needed to win.  Ryan Miller looks average.  I think it started with Lindy Ruff refusing to name a captain, and letting the players rotate voting for them each month.  Jochen Hect is their current captain, and he works hard and plays tough, but I don't think he's the right person for the job.

I'm SO pissed that I hesitated on parting with Elias in order to grab Gerber. Then did the same again with Tim Thomas.

Then dropped Elias because he blows this season.

Me picking up Gerber on the waiver wire has been a godsend. Turco has been very ordinary this year, but with Gerber and Backstrom, I'm getting the mad points.

Give me Gerber. He's mine because I thought of picking him up first.

Also, that was an interesting trade.

Heh. I knew he would get back to form eventually. I traded for him in another league about the same time. I just wish Miikka Kiprusoff would do the same thing; I have him in mulitiple leagues and he is killing me. It is nice to see the Flames struggling though; maybe next year I will draft Iginla and Phaneuf too and see if I can get the team bus to crash or something.

Losing Niedermeyer, Penner, and Selanne gutted Anaheim. And I couldn't be happier about it; I love watching that gap-toothed fuck Pronger lose.

I think they expected Perry, Getzlaf, etc to be better able to shoulder the load and sort of be bigger stars this year.

I mean, they're good players... but losing those three players, with the parity in the NHL these days... just too much for any team, I think. Couple that with Stanley Cup Hangover and meh.

And hey what the fuck is up with putting Bryzgalov on waivers?

I mean, I'm sure there's some valid salary cap reason but.. wow.

The Bryzgalov thing is why Brian Burke is leading the charge to change the trading rules to allow teams to eat some salary. They couldn't find a deal to trade him (the salaries have to match), so they ended up having to release him, and a division opponent grabbed him. Doh. As for Anaheim, I am surprised Andy McDonald hasn't been better. He really looked like he was coming of age during the playoffs last season.

He was also centreing Teemu Selanne last year.

As a side note, anyone remember my comment about Mark Recchi primed for a terrible year this year during our Yahoo draft? Yeah, he was just put on waivers.

Yeah, not rocket science, but there are still retards on messageboards going "THE LEAFS SHOULD PICK HIM UP, 68 PTS LAST YEAR, RECCHI STILL HAS MORE TO GIVE". Meanwhile, if you base your opinion of a player entirely on point totals from last season, you should be able to figure out why you don't have a job as a GM of an NHL team. Never mind he went without a goal for the last 20 games, and looked almost as terrible as he did this year - producing JACK on a line with Sidney fucking Crosby.
