Probably going to be late, so if you guys want to hit the playoffs without me, go for it.

I can do late if the others can or want too.

I'll be on around 1030-11 if you want to try a playoff run again.

Gotcha. ALAN??

Did you guys not play last night? Or are you working on a banner?

We did play, we even trolled a few teams (readying up and then quitting). Just not playoffs.

Don't forget the 73 party invites during the trolling.

Good God, my fantasy team is terrible. I feel like I've got so many guys who are underachieving right now. Rinne, Weber, Dustin Brown, Henrik Sedin, Kevin Bieska, Jason Garrison (just realized I have way too many Canucks). I made a few moves to try to inject some life into my lineup (dropped Cam Ward, and moved Lupul and Mike Smith to the IR), but I feel like some of those guys have to start coming around at some point. I really expected more out of Nashville, LA, and Vancouver. There have definitely been some surprises so far this season.

It also really sucks to see CPU Matt leading the league. Matt, if you read this, at least let us know that you've looked at your team. It's kind of sucking the fun out of it essentially losing to the ESPN website. Oh, one other interesting thing I discovered while browsing the Google Play store: Yahoo has an app for their fantasy hockey league. How hard to believe is that? Yahoo has one...and ESPN doesn't. Makes sense.

On a positive note, I was able to snag Preds tickets for $30 about 10 rows back from the glass (could have gotten closer, but waiting on the wife's approval caused me to miss out....yay marriage) thanks to a "college night" promotion where apparently they don't actually verify if you're a college student. Ironically, I found out about it because of a post on CAG in the "other deals and requests" section. That was pretty awesome. Makes up for the pre-season game my wife had bought us tickets to that got cancelled. I am excite!

Wait, what? I'm not "CPU Matt". I wasn't at the draft, but I told Alan I was going to play, and I meant it. I've set my lineup every single day except for 1, when I just got busy and forgot. I've been playing the whole way. I just haven't added or dropped anyone.

Oh and: Booooooo! Preds suck! At least I hope they do tonight... we need a win!

Sorry, that's all we wanted to know. There was no way to tell otherwise. We can't see that you set your lineup. Not at the draft + no roster moves + no posts about the league had at least me questioning if you had any involvement with your team. It's good to know you're playing along with us though.

And the Preds do suck. We need a win just as bad right now.

I understand. I do need to make some moves seeing as Jason Spezza is out indefinitely. That's a tough blow. And I haven't been posting much since I almost exclusively browse via mobile now, but I check the forum every day and will continue to do so. Sorry for the confusion.

Thems the breaks sometimes. When you list those names, yeah, it sounds like a good lineup, but sometimes players just go on cold streaks sometimes, other times one player can have a great night and make up for 3 games of bad stats.

Yeah, at least Dustin Brown was kind enough to score a goal (I've got him on my team) and still lose to the Preds last night, haha. Though, I was hoping for a 7-6 Predators win with Weber getting 3 goals and 4 assists, Brown getting 5 goals and 1 assist, and Rinne sitting on the bench, lol. I did pick up Craig Anderson though. He's been on fire for Ottawa. He's got 5 wins already and a .976 save percentage. Logic would tell you that he'll come back down to earth, but in a short season....with so many other teams looking like complete crap, I don't know, haha.

I totally hate you for picking up Anderson too lol. I was gonna drop Howard, but you already took Andy.

PS, i'm looking to move Yandle or Keith (offensive Dmen) for Defensive Dmen and for anyone is interested.

Haha, if I hadn't picked him up, my team would probably have negative points right now, lol. Plus, I had Mike Smith go down and Can Ward be freaking terrible. I also grabbed Brodeur, but we'll see if that proves to be a mistake.

I pretty much have an all Tampa team except for at least like 4 people.

It's an interesting strategy. When the team wins, you probably do very well. As opposed to the occasions where one of your guys will be squaring off against another one of your guys (as I had with Dustin Brown going up against Shea Weber and Pekka Rinne last night). I really haven't done a fantasy league before, so I'm learning the best ways to set up my lineup and how to get the most out of my team. It would be nice if some of my studs would start performing though. It's crazy seeing some of these no name guys come out of nowhere with huge games.

Funny thing is, wasnt looking to Tampa being so good. Granted, couple games in but if they keep playing like they are, I see a play off run this year. Also, YEAH for Friday Night Hockey!
