Bets on when this train wreck gets locked?
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

Hey Emu,
I haven’t checked in on these forums much (or at all) since the plague started and the NHL shut down. This was the most recently replied to post and I clicked and ended up here.
I may not fully understand what you are going through (or what is going on TBH), but I understand frustration. PM me if you want to talk. Take care and be safe.

Not taking any of this personally. Again, please take care of yourself.

Hey buddy, I have been out of the loop for awhile but I love your posts and enthusiasm. Hope you stick around and the situation can clear itself. Always wishing you the best buddy. You're one of my favorites on here.
This is one of the friendliest forums I've been on and it definitely has a pleasant vibe compared to others. Personally, the few times I was a member of a forum and did not enjoy the the interactions I was having, I quietly left.

I sent this as a PM to Emu but I want to leave a copy of this here too.

Hey Emu,
I can take a litmus test of my mental state by how I interact with my fantasy hockey world. Most of the time I am pretty balanced in life, and therefore balanced in my fantasy life.
Speaking simply about me, I recognize that when I am getting manic in my Fantasy leagues I am masking issues that are taking place in the real world. I get really obsessive about trades and news and hitting refresh after refresh after refresh. I usually immerse myself in fantasy hockey so I can avoid life issues I don’t want to deal with. I end up getting really frustrated at the pace of hockey related info coming back at me. It’s just not fast enough or what I want to hear. In the fantrax chat in my main league my wit and humour and sarcasm turns kind of nasty as I take out my frustrations on my keyboard (and at other GMs). There have been times I just wanted to say Fcuk it(!) and quit everything to do with Fantasy hockey — with the train of thought that this supposedly fun distraction has become an unhealthy realm for my mental state. When I am feeling this way I have learned to back away from my in-the-moment hockey thoughts so I can glean a better perspective of where my frustrations are coming from. I know deep down it has nothing to do with Fantasy hockey but I get lost in the information, the rush, and the schemes in my head. What I find is that my real life is also oscillating at a different frequency than usual and I am behaving in the same way towards my professional acquaintances, family, and friends.
I look back at some of these times when I thought the best solution was to quit and I am thankful I took the time to process what was going on in my head rather than burn the bridges that I have built in the fantasy hockey community.
You are not alone.
M.
