Myself and Marcin are up for playing again

scottmcb04

So it's just 11 days til the season starts, I can setup the league again this year, if ye want to send on your email addresses there! Any preferences on draft days, time?

Same rules as last year, scoring categories?

Can we keep +/- in scoring?

What do people think of Sunday the 4th for the draft, sometime in the evening so good after 8 or so?

That's good for me.

smackbunnybaby

The biggest update for me is the settings for when you can add a player from waivers!
Remember it was set to 'tomorrow', instead of 'today'.
We need it to be 'today'.

Any chance I can get back into this? Was in last season.

I can do this, if I can get into the league.

aaronm13

Sunday is good for me too. In New York till Saturday so if I'm awake I'll draft. Going to the Rangers/Bruins pre season Wednesday so looking forward to it always wanted to catch a Hawks/Rangers game here but this will have to do for now. Do I need to get in touch with someone before the draft?

Any recommendations for pre/post game beers?

scottmcb04

beserker, I sent ya the email earlier today, so let me know if you didn't get it...

doubt i'll be available sunday evening, I have it set for half 8 at the minute!

all you have to do is log into the league, and ya should see the draft room there(right hand side of the screen if I remember), comes up roughly half an hour before the start time!

GvidoR

Lucky, Aaron. I wish I was there too.

goals against avg, wins, save % and shutouts for goalies...

Happy enough. Is that the same as last year? Did we have +/- or drop it last year?

I'm good with that.

What I like about having no +/- is that it means you can pick Edmonton players, if you wanted!

Cheers think I'll make it for the start anyway, might have to go on auto draft for the later rounds.

Dicken's Cider is #1 pick.

Think we did. Didn't see a #1 seed in the listings.

Can someone please explain why penalty minutes are good? The team with more penalty minutes gets the point, or so it seems.

I believe that the idea behind them is that it gives the enforcers or the enforcing element of a player a value in fantasy hockey. Pure enforcers would be of little to no worth in fantasy hockey but for PIMS.

are we doing this again?
