[FUBAR McDangles]

I did a pool draft last night with 12 other people. We're doing 8F, 4D, and 2G. Only count points, goalie win is 2 points, 3 if it's a shutout.

Stamkos
Perry
Zetterberg
Vanek
Parise
JVR
Vrbata
Nichushkin

Barrie
S. Jones
Gardiner
Rielly

Rask
Halak

I like my forwards, but not too excited about my defense. $50 per person, so the payout is going to be $650. Hopefully no one gets injured.

Good stuff bruh. Like they said above, your D is weak but otherwise I like the team a lot.

Found this glorious avatar in the Forza community thread. How's he gonna eat that hotdog without removing the bag?!

 

[Socreges]

Everyone ready for fantasy draft tomorrow?

Can someone list out the first 30 picks or something? Gonna use your draft as a basis for my own research if that makes any sense

sure. Pretty sure yahoo puts out the draft order with players picked in an easily quoted form, too, so it should be simple enough to cross-post it here.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs cut everyone except Pateryn, Tinordi, Beaulieu, Sekac, Thomas, Andrighetto and De La Rose. Pretty funny how Thomas came out of nowhere, but good for him. Scherbak sent back to his junior team as well. No excuses for the Bulldogs to be shit this year, they finally have a deep team.

[Clockblockers]

looks like my work schedule will allow me more flexibility this year to watch games, has Gamecenter got their stuff together or do most of you guys just still use hockeystreams?

I'm out of market so I don't have to worry about blackout restrictions

EDIT: I took the summer off so I haven't lurked around here too much incase you guys have already discussed this

 

[Marvie_3]

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today they have assigned forwards Matt Carey and Phillip Danault and defenseman Stephen Johns to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. In addition, the team has released defenseman Cam Barker from camp.

I really liked what I saw from Johns and Danault. Carey is nothing special but he did score a goal so maybe it's a mistake to send him down.....

Even without the blackouts, Hockeystreams is a better deal, has better quality, more access to hockey related events, and in general I've found just much easier to use across multiple devices without having technical issues.

I still have a hard time believing this, I know its true after sitting in this thread for the better part of last season, but it still amazes me that this is the case.

I believe it's the same resolution, but Hockeystreams is 60 FPS while GCL is 24. HS looks pretty damn good, plus you get access to every league and draft coverage + trade deadline coverage, etc.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I might look into hockey streams in January. Got the free Gamecenter deal for now.

 

[Marvie_3]

This "broadcast" for the Hawks/Oilers game is fucking high school AV club quality. :lol :lol

 

[apocalidiot]

Chromecast users - what is the best way to play local media (videos etc) from your harddrive to your TV? Is there a good option for that right now? Plex?

Dat Patches & A.Gally. Hnnnnnggg.

Try entering the directory of your file on Chrome's address bar, and casting it on the
Chromecast.

Not sure if that method is outdated now.

"Videostream for Google Chromecast™" works similar to plex, and both work fine on my chromecast when I've used them.

Matt Lombardi and Ryan Malone will miss both games against the Flyers tomorrow and Tuesday with injuries. More good news for the young kids.

Hank will play the full game tomorrow, Talbot will play the full game on Tuesday.

Next round of cuts after the two games with the Flyers.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I just want to say fuck Heretic for that joke after I lasted posted.

 

[Curufinwe]

No video feed from NJ tonight. The Flyers are 50% AHL guys, though. So not a big loss.

 

[TUSR]

I just want to say fuck Heretic for that joke after I lasted posted.

i didnt even understand it

 

[Razorskin]

i didnt even understand it

Kings fans only show up in April.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Kings fans only show up in April.

Depends on if they made the playoffs

 

[Coldnoodle]

Some cute girls behind the bench in this caps habs game.

 

[DopeyFish]

i hate sportsnet because they talk through the pregame

like

fuck off

i hope i don't have to deal with this shit every damn game :<

 

[Red_Man]

PP still looks like shit. I have no idea where they're still dumping it in on the entry, its so annoying to watch.

 

[8bit-nick]

sabres have all the goalies.

all of the goalies.

 

[Yawnier]

kaleta ow

 

[DopeyFish]

kaleta's face just got destroyed by rielly

 

[shadowkat]

Ouch

 

[zroid]

Ouch

 

[8bit-nick]

kaleta's hit was a rolling puck, no skin was broken.

not that bad, the dude has been through way worse.

that nolan shiver though!

 

[Red_Man]

Carlson has been in a bad mood ever since he got ran over earlier.

 

[Marvie_3]

keeeeeeith

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Good play by Holzer. That PP isn't so hot though...

 

[Spl1nter]

Fucking dirty cross check right to the face of Nylander

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

So how are points in fantasy determined for defensemen/goalies? Are defensemen just points and goalies just wins/shutouts?

 

[Red_Man]

Even though they've iced almost all NHLers this definitely plays like a preseason game. AG needs to stay at centre.

 

[8bit-nick]

Fucking dirty cross check right to the face of Nylander

yeah that was not only really uncalled for, very uncharacteristic of weber.

WOW WHAT A SAVE THOUGH

sabres, all of the goalies, etc

 

[Marvie_3]

Teuvo! Nice pass from Clendening

 

[Coldnoodle]

Carlson has been in a bad mood ever since he got ran over earlier.

You guys killed Laich

 

[8bit-nick]

So how are points in fantasy determined for defensemen/goalies? Are defensemen just points and goalies just wins/shutouts?

i play yahoo fantasy, and my league has it set up so goalies have 1 win = 10 points, Loss = -3 Points, saves = .25 points, and shutouts = 5 points .

hits and shots on goal are 2 points each, and LW, C, RW and D are all treated equally
