Draft is tomorrow night. We have 8 now. I'd be more than happy to have you join the league, but we can't draft with an odd number of owners. You'd have to find someone else that would agree to join with you so we'd have 10 teams.

Ready for the draft, do we have 10 or 8?

[Heath]

Hey all fellow hockey players - looks like a great draft night, I got everyone I really wanted except for one player (Crosby) and it looks great!

Thanks to Red Leader for setting this up!

My wife had crap for me to do when I got home, that HAD to be done as soon as I walked in the door, so I missed the first 2 rounds. Never got that top 5 RW I wanted, but everything else is ok. Should be a fun season, looking forward to it. I'm still learning as we go.

I can't believe Crosby went as quick as he did.

I didn't get any Blackhawks of note, so someone make some trades with me

You mean there are actually 2 of us who like the Hawks?

[kheidg-]

Satisfied with my team but would be open to all trades. Good luck to everybody - hopefully this will be competitive (yet fun).

Dang. Didn't know there was a forum for this.

Seems that way. Glad to meet another.

My team. I'm counting on Lehtonen to win the job and dominate like he should. I dunno, I'm strugging if Crosby doesn't live up to the hype. I can't see him not scoring with the line he will be on though.

[NJReds]

The scoring is all screwed up in the Yahoo league. It didn't count any of the goalkeepers stats last week.

[kheidg-]

I'm sure they will fix it.

[Red Leader]

I sent a note to Yahoo asking about this. They are aware of the problem from what I've heard from others, but I haven't got a response back from them yet. When I do, I'll let everyone know.

[Red Leader]

Here is the response I got. WTF?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

In all Public Head-to-Head Leagues, a goaltending tandem must make at
least three (3) appearances each week. Should a tandem fail to meet this requirement, their fantasy team will automatically lose all four of the
goaltending match-ups.

This limit applies to the combined appearances of all goalies on your
roster. Each goalie is not required to appear in three games. This limit was introduced so that each match-up is settled based on stats
accumulated over several games.

With no limit, a team that recorded a shutout in one start would
automatically win or tie the goals-against average and save percentage
match-up.

Private Leagues default to the Public League settings, but the limits
are configurable.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

Regards,

Morris

So, basically we all "tied" for all of the goaltending stats since we all did not meet the minimum requirements. I have 3 goalies. Kiprusoff had 3 starts, but Turco and Theodore only had 2 starts and since I didn't have 2 goalies with at least 3 starts each, I lost all goalie stats. Stupid. Shouldn't be a problem going forward, hopefully.
