so I've never spammed at this level. I apologize, but I have no choice.

In a bit of a bind in my "hockeybuzz" league.
Had a manager drop out this morning like a champ.

The (3 hour long) draft is 8:15pm EST TONIGHT.

20 teams
4C, 3LW, 3RW, 2W, 6D, 1G, 6BN, 1IR+, 2IR
Stats:
G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK
W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

Random snake draft, not a keeper league, no divisions, top 8 make the playoffs

Message me if you're interested.

Again, I apologize. In 8 years of fantasy and dozens of teams, I've never had this happen before.

Didn't you guys have high hopes for a kid named irving a few years back?

What was wrong with Engelland? I thought he a Brodie played well together.

No one was as bad as Grossmann, but Hamilton didn't look great either
I hope Dougie doesn't get off to another slow start this year...

Yeah, I wonder if we could ship him off to the Peg for Trouba. Hamilton's okay but not worth the $$$.

Maybe put him with someone better than nick grossman on the third pairing ...not sure that was the plan when they traded a first and a couple 2nds for him and then paid him that contract ...I know it's one game but holy (frank)

Agreed. I wouldn't trade him for Trouba
Hamilton's a 40+ point dman who can log the bug minutes and is locked to a contract...
Sounds like Trouba wants even bigger money when I don't even think it's justified for him yet

DH needs someone who is not playing over their head in the #4 spot.

Someone who can take charge in the D zone and let Dougie be offensive.

Totally agree

.if the pairing aren't going to change than you tell grossman that if anyone is getting caught on an odd man rush or making long breakout passes it's Dougie not him

Ha, yea right! There's a lot more to it than the score. Every year, same thing with you Oiler fans. Early success, ”we rock!going to the cup!" Followed shortly after by full collapse and "we're gonna get another great pick at the draft."

Give it up.

No, I think until proven otherwise, the Oilers are terrible....I just also happen to think the Flames are also garbage.

We actually outshot Edmonton and kept them to under 30 shots. I don't get why they are mixing up the D pairings to virtually the same pairings that failed early last year when Hartley tried the same thing! Edmonton has an elite top line beyond that they are average so put Gio and Brodie out against that top line.

Elliot had a couple of brutal goals. He'll get a pass from me for last night, although it did remind me of last season where any momentum would be counteracted by a horrible goal.

Grossman was the momentum killer last night. Kulak in and him out should be the only line-up change for tomorrow. Him and that stupid penalty shot. I don't know how Gaudreau can get molested in one end then the play moves to the other end and a bone head call is made. His stick wasn't even on McDavid.

- Flames in 6 04


The thing about Elliott is that he is a great BACK UP. When he gets the mantel of starter he flops every time. Ottawa, Colorado and St. Louis. Only when he is regulated to being the back up does he battle hard. Last year he was the back up, Allen got hurt. He played his best ever in the first series of the play offs.

He has some big holes to his game the Blues tended to cover up for him. One, he should never play the puck, ever. The rest you will notice over time.
