Actually I have an extended rotation and rotate people in and out so that the grueling season doesn't wear them out.

You really should get out more Darth.

But one of the officers said that “his demeanor completely changed once the cameras were not in sight,” shifting in a matter of minutes from the kicking-and-screaming coiner of the new catchphrase “Don’t Tase me, bro” to “laughing and being lighthearted.” Then, they say, he asked them whether the news media would be on hand when he arrived at the police station.

Oh noooooooooooo...I have to play Bezeach this week.
Plus I'm outnumbered for at least the early part of the week. This could be ugly.

We need to liven this league up. It's been about 3 weeks since the last post.

Bezeach is leading the pack and making some moves to keep his team strong.

Mikhail was making about 20 moves per week...until he accidentally dropped a great player in his haste. Now...nothing. Both he and Laimbeer aren't playing like rookies.

You've got your top 5 teams and bottom 5, but any from the bottom could easily make their way to the top with a good week, and vice versa.

My team is really struggling and I can't figure out why. I have basically the same team I won the ship with last year. I've been running into some hot goalies so even when I play well I lose those cats (I think Nabby had 2 shutouts last week and two from Luongo this week). OUCH!

We need more smack talk. Come on Woody...Jammer...where are you? I'm kind of reluctant to talk as much smack since I'm commissioner. Maybe that's silly.

Oh...for next year I have some ideas...

Using GWG (Game winning goals) again as a stat...even though it's usually just luck (It's not always the last goal that is the game winner).

Also using Shots on goal (a new default cat in Yahoo that replaced GWG this year.

Also I might use penalty minutes. It's dumb...but I think more cats liven the leagues.

Also, in baseball we used weekly lineups. I thought it was pretty neat. If I add a couple of roster slots (which I can given all the surplus talent in the small league) then we can still have lots of guys playing that week even though guys don't play every day like in baseball.

If it stays daily, I'll put a reasonable cap on how many moves we can make during the year...maybe 75.

Any feedback?

Tater:

I'd talk more smack if my team wasn't so lousy. My two top wingers (Semin and Cheechoo) have done absolutely nothing so far. I keep holding on to them hoping they'll get going, but so far, nothing!

Broduer had a bad month, and Hasek is not doing well either. NO goalies, NO wingers, NO win!!

I'm starting to swap out players now. I check the league page to see who you and Bezeach have dropped and then I pick them up. Your trash is my treasure!!

I actually nosed you out last week thanks to a Brodeur shutout, but I didn't feel like crowing over it.

So far, Parise had been my best pickup. and Arnott is good too. And I hope Vanek gets going soon also. I've got way too many guys dragging anchor.

I don't care for most of the suggestions for next year. Most of those stats are pure luck and not very meaningful. I liked the faceoff stat last year when I had Brind'Amour, but not this year after Laimbeer stole him from me during the draft.

You're doing just a GREAT job as commissioner. Particularly since it has been limiting your smack talking!

Yea, my draft strategy was to pick Brind'Amour and Sundin in order to have a lock in one category (faceoff wins) each week.

It appears the league is now in the bag for me. You guys are playing for second.
