2012/13 DobberHockey Entry Smythe Division League Chat

LOL, uh oh.
To be honest... I didn't know Meszaros got injured during the summer!!!
Oh noooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ummm, I somehow missed this too! Just cancelled a trade offer!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty tight race so far....

Very tight! LOL.

I'm actually one of the few glad ones that the NHL season is delayed a bit. I drafted Gaborik way too high for an early NHL start (my 5th round pick: #67). I think Gabby went in the 80s in every other Entry league. I picked him based on him being healthy to start the NHL season, so an early-December start date works great for me.

I just hope my two Russian goaltenders come back from the KHL!
Aggghhhhh!!!

[Goatlender]

I could be phooked if Giroux scrambled his brain playing in Germany....

So I drop Cowen for Murray, and now Murray is out too? If my guys are dropping like flies when no hockey is being played, I'm starting to believe this won't be my year. Stay locked out. Plz!

ya, not much luck there!! Let me know who you replace Murray with so I can trade him in advance in my other leagues

[hawkdog]

anyone else get an error when they go to the yahoo league site?

[Pengwin7]

I just logged into Yahoo and viewed my team.
Can you see your other leagues?

[hawkdog]

I only have one yahoo league, this one.
I get this message:

There was a problem
You are not allowed to view this page because you are not in this league. (Error #152)

[hawkdog]

Fixed, thanks.

My heart wasn't in the draft in October, and my team shows it. What a mess!

Should be an interesting year anyway, maybe the shortened season will work to my advantage. Though this Backstrom "neck" injury is very worrisome.

[Pengwin7]

I'm really looking forward to my team.

Strategy #1:
I drafted several injured players late: Gaborik, Semin, Green, Markov, Meszaros... all hoping they'd be ready for a short-season. CHECKITY-CHECK.

Strategy #2:
I got two solid goaltenders, both Russian: Bryzgalov & Varlamov.
Both were very solid in the KHL and should be conditioned to play a lot in the NHL right away!

Go team!


Of note to DobberEntry Commish (Gates? Dobber?).
The GP limits for players are showing as:
Maximum Games
What's This
Pos Played Remaining Projected Max
C 0 164 328 (+164) 164
LW 0 164 328 (+164) 164
RW 0 164 328 (+164) 164
D 0 246 492 (+246) 246
Pos Played Remaining Projected Max
G 0 82 164 (+82) 82

This works out to only 41 games per position slot.
Seems incorrect for a 48 game season.
48? 50? 60?
With weekly roster sets, it could be more than 48 if we go with a heavier-weekly-schedule for some players?

Can we fix this?

I think this will be fixed automatically by Yahoo as 41 is the adjusted max games based on the cancelled schedule. Once they confirm I figure it'll go up to 48/50. They even have a note on the main page saying they'll adjust it.

There shouldn't be any max GP restrictions (unless there were rule changes for this season I am unaware of) as it's weekly league so probably just an oversight to leave the max GP setting on.

Ah cool.
I assumed that since it was lowered Yahoo! had set-it that way.

Got it. Thanks.
