We are a Sim league at the end of our first draft. UFAs and season 2 to start soon. Dallas and Anahiem are currently open with more teams to be made avalible soon. Check it out lots of NHL fun! http://ptphl.proboards.com/index.cgi
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Thanks to Mr. Benedicks for updating all 30 goalie situations yesterday... you'll want to take a look to stay ahead of these flip-flopping. St.Louis is the hot one right now as both goalies are looking good under Hitch and Buffalo is getting infinitely more interesting due to Miller's injury and Enroth's unbeatability. Shame that the #2s in Columbus & Minnesota are banged up cause there would be a nice opportunity there. Interesting... Quick seems very safe in LA as he lost four straight but was still given the start after a Bernier win. Also, didn't realize that Cory Schneider has only started one of the last eight.
I gave a shout out to Dobber last week for hooking us up with some comp memberships to his tools so have to give some love to our friends over at FantasyHockey911.com cause their awesome tools are FREE! That's right, they've got Goalie Probables leading up to each day's action and full lineups, line combinations and PP units following every game. We don't know how they do it (they tried to explain it to us once) and actually we don't really care... just as long as they keep doing it. I'm going to recommend you bookmark it.
Jay & I received an unsolicited email from Dobber the other day setting us up with free memberships on Dobber's Frozen Pool tools and the Goalie Post site. Both are great tools, worth checking out if you're a hardcore fantasy junkie. So we have to say thanks to Dobber for the generosity... makes it hard to dislike the guy when he's so goddam nice. Don't fret though, I'll still call him out when he gets preposterous... which I know he will.
The season hasn't even started and I'm already behind... I've been having too much fun lately with 6 drafts over the past two weeks.
I owe all you folks in weekly leagues a Schedule Summary but it's not going to happen for the short week from Oct 6-9. I'll get off my butt and pull that together for the week from Oct 10-16 and I know Yahoo! will let you make changes now that will be effective Oct 10th. So look for a Sked Summary shortly but in the meantime you can check out this post from our friends as RotoWorld on how many games each team is playing this week.
P.S. I'll also get around to updating the Injury Updates & Crease Conflicts pages as well... bear with me through this time of laziness insanity.
Matt Turner was one of the 12 members of our Alpha league check out his thoughts on his team and a few points on the auction in general.
Traffic on FHS has been going crazy lately (thanks for stopping by) but still lots of people are passing on buying stuff... that's fine, our reports are not for everyone & we know that people like free stuff. But it's simple math really, think of the amount of time it would take you to come up with your own stats file and make your own rankings. That will likely take you hours right?, so isn't it worth $5 to you to just start with our SuperStats excel file and make any adjustments you see fit? I guess if you enjoy working for less than minimum wage then keep your money but for the rest of you, I promise it'll be worth your money. Plus it's pretty handy to have all that data at your fingertips while you're doing your draft so a few bucks to make your draft go smoother is money well spent if you ask me (but maybe I'm just biased).
Friend of FHS, Dirk Hoag from On The Forcheck, put together a handy little how-to guide about preparing for your fantasy season (see the link above). Not only is it some killer stuff but Dirk pimps our scouting reports in the e-book big-time, so we gotsta link to dat! It's available via Dirk's other website called Hockey Gear HQ.
