SO if you believe that Price will equal or better his season last year, you'll be fine. I don't know much about Backstrom. I think you made the same rookie mistake I made, you only have two goalies. By the time I remembered it, all the real goalies were gone. Now maybe some real player can tell us whether it is a goalie-centric scoring system and whether you need 3 just in case one underperforms or gets hurt. EDIT: Looks like Backstrom had a much better season: 33W, 13L, 4SO, 2.31GAA .920SV versus Price: 24W, 12L, 3SO, 2.56GAA .901SV

I'd love to see him in the Blue and Gold.
LabattBlue Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I sent an email out to my fellow league members, but have not heard from anyone... 1- What does the "minimum 3 games played" mean? 2- Can you change players in your starting lineup from 1 day to the next or are the players on the first day of the week locked in for the entire week?

So if one of your goalies starts 2 games and the other starts 1, you're good. but if he misses one, you don't get any of the points for that week from goaltending that you would have. kind of a rule if you ask me. 2- you can change players daily. you just can't make any changes once a player starts a game (or doesn't if you forgot you benched him)

I wish I knew... I suspect that lineups lock for the week. I'm tied 4-4 with Vanek-Man and I have no clue why... I just haven't taken the time to read up on the rules.
Two or less Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 3 games minimum means your goalies must play in atleast 3 games during a week. All leagues do this, it's because if your goalie gets a shutout in his first start, what makes you not benching all goalies for the full week. The only category you'd lose is wins, but have loses, gga, save% and shutouts (arguably) guarenteed.

wjag Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I just looked over the Yahoo site. I don't see anywhere that lists our specific scoring system. Does anyone know are goals worth 2, assists 1, PIM 1, etc??? Where on the site do we find this?

Does anyone know are goals worth 2, assists 1, PIM 1, etc??? Where on the site do we find this? We are in a head-to-head league, not points based. In Head to head, all goals are worth 1, as assits and so on, and after the week, the team with the most goals gets 1 "point" and the team with the most categories won after each week, will win.
jimiVbaby Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I just looked over the Yahoo site. I don't see anywhere that lists our specific scoring system. Does anyone know are goals worth 2, assists 1, PIM 1, etc??? Where on the site do we find this? I can't look at the league cause it's blocked at work... But, I'm assuming it goes by categories. For example, If my entire starting team has more goals than your starting team over the course of the week, I get one point. Same would go for total assists, PIM and whatever other categories there are. At the end of the week, the points are determined to be Wins and Losses and teams are ranked by winning percentage. As for the rosters changing daily, I sure hope so.

Back to comment 2 - so if I have a guy on the bench who is playing today and another guy on the starting team who is off today - I should be swapping those two players correct?

Back to comment 2 - so if I have a guy on the bench who is playing today and another guy on the starting team who is off today - I should be swapping those two players correct? I assumed the 75 moves maximum means 75 waiver moves. To answer your 2nd question, yes you should start the guy on your bench who is playing today in place of someone who is not. That is unless you are playing me, which in that case, leave him on the bench! :D
Two or less Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 75 moves is for waivers/trades. Nobody will be near 75....

LabattBlue Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I could cut my bench players every day and they would be there the next day for me to pick up again. Unless someone else picks them up! :ph34r:
LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Anyone know of a website where you can find out starting goalie information for that evening? Thanks!
LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 One more question...If I cut a player today, will the player I picked up be on my roster ASAP?
Midnight Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Anyone know of a website where you can find out starting goalie information for that evening? Thanks!

LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 I picked up two players earlier this afternoon and they show up in the transaction report, but not on my roster for tonight! :angry:
wjag Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 I picked up to players earlier this afternoon and they show up in the transaction report, but not on my roster for tonight! :angry: That would seem fair. Rosters should be locked once the new week starts. But when that lock occurs is something that needs to be spelled out. I'm going to adjust my lineup Monday AM for the next week. So far so good. I had a good opening week...

Someone else in the league picked up players earlier today and they are both in his lineup tonight. Call me confused. :blink: :blink:
Taro T Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Someone else in the league picked up players earlier today and they are both in his lineup tonight. Call me confused. :blink: :blink: Montador was picked up before Midnight West Coast time, so as far as the league (Yahoo) is concerned, he was picked up yesterday. Midnight Pacific time is the cut off.
