Re: How Do You Keep Up on Your Team?
I may be in the minority, but I don't watch games (except for leafs games, but that's not for fantasy, it's just cause they're my team). I may occasionally turn on a random game while I'm giving the kid a bottle or something, but I just use stats, articles and podcasts, all of which I enjoy (plus some forum advice). Seems to be working for me, I'm first overall in my main league and second overall in my work league. I want this to be fun, not another job. I get the 'eye test' argument for evaluating players, but there's something to be said for letting the numbers speak for themselves.
Also, maybe it's the engineer in me, but I enjoy the statistics and numbers almost as much as the hockey.
