I created my team the other day. Haven't picked anyone yet though. The new layout is terrible

Agreed. I am hoping the Capt. EO sees everyone's frustration with the new format and tells IT to change it back.

I was just looking at the players. I tend to pick my goalies first and work from there. It seems like all the guys that have 3 games the first week are also the ones with the highest cap hit. And they're matchups are all really tough.

You shouldn't be let out without your helmet.

That is pretty much what I do as well. Start with goalies, then defense. Cheap. The problem I had this year was trying to find Stamkos. I sorted by name to find him, but then I could not sort back by last year's pts and had to start over.

Yes, I am doing it. I saw you had a great year and won your division. Last year was my worst year since joining the site. Did not make the playoffs.

I saw on the Fantasy thread that they messed up the playoff schedule, I think because of the Olympics, and people got screwed. At least you got something out of the season. Congrats!

Thanks .. Thats what it was .. olympics They used a previous week roster and threw it in the playoffs. When no hockey was playing .

This year i'm Cabins Misfits

I wonder if the format will be different for the score sheet as well once the games begin and we can't post our lineups in the thread. I always like seeing what other people chose.

Hahaha. Nice! I love this lineup. I might have to make a few tweaks myself. Hope we are not in the same division.

Yeah, I really like this lineup too. If you can get a full roster of max game players, that usually works out. I forgot about Gallagher and his salary. That is a good one.

LOL! WHICH GAME WERE YOU WATCHING? YOU'RE A DERP, FOR REAL. I SAW THE WHOLE THING ON AND OFF WITH THE SOUND MUTED ON MY COMPOOTER. Going to Richmond tomorrow?
- Dr3aMWeav3r

To set the record straight, this was a response to my brother's post. He and I both lurk in these forums mostly, and I never see him post so when I saw it, I thought I'd mess with him. He went to the game and I had to watch it from my dorm room, so being jealous, I wanted to give him some poop. But it just goes to show, I write something about hockey around here, no one discusses really; I troll my brother, I'm the most popular guy in here for an hour .
Anyway, looks like the 1st line will be our primary(sole) source of offense

Sweet .. Reimer and Goosie. Gonna be another fun season.

That's usually my game plan. Start with goalies. Top 2 D. In a normal week, I try to fill my roster with as many guys as possible that have 4 games. But for a bit of variety, I'll take some that have 3.

- Dr3aMWeav3r

I don't think that there is much to discuss about the first line being the primary source of offense. Pretty much a given.

Edit: Unless line combos are changed up because of really good chemistry and the second line takes advantage of playing against weaker lines.

I think that was my downfall last year. Trying a new system of playing the better players instead of man games.

I just missed the playoffs. Had 1 loss too many. There were a few weeks I missed setting my lineup. Got lucky once or twice and won anyway. But it still bit me in the end and I just missed out.

No. Actually, I don't. But thanks for trying to put words in my mouth.

That's where you logic leads to. No surprise that you don't see that.
