Haven't looked yet- how far do they deviate from the Yahoo vanilla league categories?
Oh, and please set max games as high as possible. Having to bench top players because they play the wrong position in the last week of the season is bullshit.

If we did H2H, it would allow us to remove the max games stuff. But points and rotisserie both require it. Fuckers.

H2h licks bag, especially in a sport when one team can get more games in than its opponent during a given week due to the vagaries of the schedule. Even worse in baseball when your opponent gets to pitch his ace twice during the week.

How's Miro look on Crosby's line?
I was always afraid of him when he played the Penguins. He was a real Penguin killer.
Though, looking at his stats, he didn't really seem to show up against.... well, any other team.
And, uh... speaking of Islanders... Trent Hunter was always a Penguin killer too. So.

Honestly, I was actually pretty much disappointed in general by the Penguins signing in the offseason.
Losing Hossa, Malone, Roberts, Laraque, Ruutu and gaining Satan, Fedotenko, and Goddard?
Really though?
Yeah, I understand Malone wanted way too much. Roberts' career is over (he'll played half the season, if that, and be largely ineffective). Laraque and Ruutu unquestionably wanted more than they were worth. Hossa was a fag and jumped to our rival, so we had little control over that.
But son of a bitch... replace them with some quality. Fuck. Honestly. Miro is waning, he's on the downside of his career. If he had a RSH, maybe. Goddard is an UNDENIABLY MASSIVE step down from the heavyweight champ of the league. Fedotenko is a total question mark - I've liked him in the past, but I can see him doing absolutely jack shit, too. And he's no Ryan Malone, that's for damn sure.
Yeah, our core is intact. We kept Malkin and Fleury and we'll hopefully keep Staal. We even kept Orpik, which is good. I just sincerely doubt we see a Stanley Cup Final this year in the 'Burgh. We need a strong young hotshot winger, frankly.
Then we need a coach. Cough.
Edit: Would have been fucking nice to sign Kovalev coming out of the lockout for 4.5m. Too much money, everyone said at the time. Fuck, I agreed. But does that contract ever look nice right about now. 4.5m for Kovalev.... playing with Crosby? Son of a bitch.

Satan had 1 or 2 goals in the scrimmage, including an extremely sweet redirect from Crosby. They played pretty well together, and Fedotanko got a sweet goal during the shootout after the scrimmage. Sykora also had some nice goals, including a slapshot from way out through a good screen.

Gonchar is injured already? http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/penguins/s_589358.html?source=rss&feed=8Gonchar, an alternate captain and the club's power-play quarterback, left the game midway through the opening period after he was driven into the boards in the Penguins' zone by Lightning forward David Koci. Gonchar, favoring his left arm, headed for the dressing room at the next break in play and did not return. The Penguins are already down two regular defensemen: Ryan Whitney, out until at least December after August surgery to correct a left foot deformity, and Rob Scuderi, day-to-day with bruised ribs. Another Penguins' defenseman, Mark Eaton, missed several shifts after blocking a shot in the second period. He returned to the game and Therrien said "he's alright." |

Any chance we can set live draft back to at least 6:30pm EST, if not somewhat later? Please?  |

Hossa? Pens only rented him and he did have big post-season, but they could easily replace his presence with similar trade deadline deal in '09. Malone? Overrated, correct decision to let him go, at least at the price he was asking. Someone else will have to step up, maybe they can swing trade for younger up and coming power forward that gels with squad. Roberts, Laraque? No big loss… …I like Laraque but by season end he didn't have much of a role. Roberts was a good role player, but players rising to the challenge for those spots are a dime a dozen… Ruutu? Addition by subtraction here. I can see where fans can be fond of him, but from my vantage point, he careless with puck possession, takes stupid penalties, really is just a clown on the ice that doesn't really intimidate or pester anybody, which is his MO. Fedotenko? I like, but /agree is ?. We'll see… Satan? On the down arc of his career, but might be some magic left, especially as a linemate for Sid and/or Geno. |

The point is that they did not upgrade. They downgraded.
They are not the team that rolled through the eastern conference in the playoffs.
Close to it? Maybe, depends. We'll have to wait and see.
But they're not as good. I don't think that's in question.

I question whether Fleury is the goalie to take them there. He did exceed my expectations in Cup run but he still let too many in that he should have stopped… |

DOH. Thanks to Mandrel, I figured out that you CAN remove the Max games restriction. It's just that the option for "No Maximum" is at the top of the dropdown instead of the bottom, where it logically should be. Fucking logic.
Anyway, I've removed the max game bullshit. HOORAY!

"SO OUR PRESEASON IS WINDING DOWN!!!!"
This is what was exclaimed on the hockey show I'm watching right now.
FUCK NO SHIT.
It's been going on for a MONTH. Half of the teams have SERIOUS INJURIES.
I realize that the owners like the extra money without having to pay anyone... but holy fuck. At least make the games count toward the standings so that these players are getting injured for a BIT of a reason?

Markus Naslund - on pace for 83 goals.
I MIGHT consider a trade for Ovechkin or Crosby.

You're going to miss him a lot more than you think. Especially in the playoffs. Satan looked pretty decent next to Crosby in pre-season. Maybe he's in decline, but he can still shoot. Pens overall though, did not improve their team. |

Oh man. In the opening of the Calgary/Vancouver game, they had this nine year old kid skate out with a Flames jersey on as an honourary this or that.
Kid proceeded to trip over a huge fucking wire that was getting dragged around the ice by the camera crew. Fell right on his ass on national television.
Think you could clear a path for the kid? Poor fucker is scarred for life now.
