What is the point weight system for these things other than points? To me McDavid should be picked #1 in a hockey pool but with all those other things, does he even rank #1?

If you're into crybabies, yes.

I don’t think so

What a farce. This pool is rigged!!!!!!

yes. Because points/assists/goals/ppp/shots are still stats

What a farce. This pool is rigged!!!!!!

Blame Yahoo, I guess that’s why they’re called Yahoo

Thanks. Do Goalie assists count?
- Load Management

Not in your pool... but have been and never have had goalie assists count

Yes he does, by a decent margin too

Brady Tkachuk would have destroyed him last season.

Just messing with ya. I think I'm gonna just start both Fleury and Kuemper and go for the guaranteed win. Leave Smith and Demko on the bench so I can just enjoy the game.

But yeah, Goalie points should count in all pools. It's 2021 ffs.

I got to say, I had a lot more optimism back in the summer than I do today for this season.

the way it works on yahoo... they would have to have it as a goalie stat likely... so goalie assists against goalie assists.

You should drop/trade at least 1 goalie. If you have 2 great goalies, I would only run 2.

No sign of macEwen in Abbotsford for their practice. Wonder if he got claimed.

No, but yes Brady is a stud with these settings.

Probably the way to go, I think both games could be high scoring though, especially VAN-EDM

He got beat out so no big loss, I liked him when he first arrived in Vancouver but he seems to be regressing.

As I said I don't know how you weight the points system but if awarded 1 point for each. Tkachuk hits and shots would equal more than what McDavid got with points, hits, ppp, pim and shots.

Rathbone working with #Canucks PP2. Höglander is not.

Suggests that though Rathbone-Burroughs have been skating as the 4th pair in practices, that might be the #Canucks third pair on Wednesday.

Maybe Green prefers that pair against McDavid’s warp speed than Hunt-Schenn?

When I get the right offer. It's early. I don't mind having 4 strong starters in the stable for now.

It’s not points, it’s categories. You get a team point for winning each category against your opponent. So if someone loads up on hits/pims/blocks they’ll be in tough against someone with more offense since there’s goals, assists, points, SOG, pp points all as offensive categories

Yahoo ranked McDavid as the most valuable player last year by a decent margin with these settings. Brady was like 5th I think

It's definitely not a bad problem early. Your biggest problem will be picking which 2 to start and then hopefully not picking the wrong ones for that day.

Just try not to ever have any empty player slots open and not being used on game days. If you have too many D or goalies and this happens, try and fix it so you don't lose out too much on points.

Chaisson sucks, and didnt deserve a contract over the younger guys.
