Question for anyone who knows how yahoo fantasy hockey works: if I drop a goalie (Bryzgalov), will his terrible stats be erased from my team, or do they still count against me for all the days I had him?

Gotta feel bad for Carey Price, kid looking for his 100th career win for like 5-6 starts now but has quietly racked up career loss 106. :(

He's like that 5th starter on a baseball team. He'll give you a shaky 5 innings every time out and finish the season with an 11-15 record and 4.56 ERA.

Samuelsson and Sturm are off the books after this season. Booth is done after 2014-2015, and has a NMC after this season.

Booth, and his long-term deal, simply weren't in the plans. (He had a no-trade clause that kicked in next summer, per George Richards.)

NTC, not NMC. BIG difference, especially when you have an owner with deep pockets willing to bury NHL salaries to help the team.
 
Wow, Ottawa got incredibly lucky there. Poor Columbus, that's like getting your balls ripped off.

That Grabovski goal was sick.
Yea that was a sick move. Whats with the habs losing on highlight reel goals
 
Even though it's 0-0 I'm really impressed so far, last year the King's defense would force cheap turnovers and completely mandhadle us. Now we are standing toe to toe.

Holy fuck I just checked the standings and saw the Caps record.

Khabibulin is available in my league. Should I drop Bryzgalov to get him?

No way. Bryz is a better goalie and behind a better D, don't drop a titan like him after one wonky week.

come in my shame circle
Just got home, was having a scary movie marathon at a friend's place.

Saw the highlights, good to see the Leafs pulled this shit out. Especially sexy to see some secondary scoring from Crosbovski and from the captain. I read Reimer is okay?

Onwards Leafs-GAF, slowly creep closer to decency!
 
I'm having the feeling this might be a season like the Flyers had a couple years back where everything just doesn't click anymore. Glad to see Eller had a great game again, with points to prove it to stupid people.

Other than the salary dump, I don't see how this is going to help Florida.

For all we know Booth and Kesler could come up with stuff.

just saw the standings, what a fucking disaster - BUT holy shit at Columbus, that's BAD!

It's even worse than it looks for Columbus fans... They've only won 3 out of their last 27 games.

In regards to Reimer, no concussion but 'whiplash-like' symptoms. Not sure if they're going to put him in net monday.

How is that possible? God, they are so boned. Their schedule for the rest of the month? Detroit, Buffalo, Chicago, and Anaheim. They're looking at entering November without a win, somebody is getting fired or traded.

They should start by trading Carter and Wisniewski. Those bums haven't done shit all season so far.

You think Florida cares about fielding an actual hockey team? They've been taking Vancouver's trash for so long because trash is cheap. Fuck, those idiots were dumb enough to waive Grabner after he was the centerpiece of the Ballard trade for them. They couldn't care less about letting a talented younger player play, all they cared was dropping Ballard's contract.

Dunno if I could be a hockey fan after the start of the season and tonight's loss if I lived in columbus.

I'd just start watching Yakupov play, dreaming about the draft.

Then when Columbus loses the lottery, commit suicide.

Canucks-age has been dreaming of dumping Ballard's contract for awhile now so maybe Florida was on to something?
