Fair enough, just keep it civil because everyone's sick of the rancor in these threads.

I think I should mention that I had Demitra on bench all season - I went ahead and started him tonight because I thought he might have a good game - bam, 2 points.  Tomorrow he'll be back on my bench.

That's strategy, no matter what you think. 

And if you're going to be mad if you lose the league by the amount of points on your bench, make sure you add up everyone else's bench points too.  Then sit back and try to get your best matchups in your line up each night.  Stategize.

Ohmygod guys, if you're going to whine about missing points because you had to leave a guy on the bench I'll can the ******* league right now.   Honestly, how many TD's have I left on the bench because I couldn't play all my wide receivers this year (the answer is six, btw).  Same ******* thing in hockey. 

Here's a suggestion, I tolerated all the discussion with its inherent lack of maturity.  The decision is made.  Grow up or **** off.  Ok?

Easy there Brent.  Jamie and I talked on the phone not long ago 2nite and we both agreed that we didn't see the max game cap at the beginning of the season and like 2 of the "no" votes were actual "I could go either way" votes, so you gotta know people aren't sold on this max game cap.  Like I said via PM, I think those voting "no" don't fully grasp what they are voting against.  They'll see in the long run when they run out of games early.  Despite what others say, there is no strategy involved with a game cap.  You may think a guy could go off on one team that nite and that another guy won't against his opponent and be completely wrong.  It's a guessing game, not strategy.  We should have done a head-to-head league because then you can utilize all your players.  Too late now, but I for one won't stop voicing my frustration if I have more nites like 2nite.  

Stategy or not, it's the rules we're playing under.  It's been discussed to death, and voted on.  There isn't going to be a change.

If you have displeasure to express, save it for the creation of next year's league and in the meantime, try to enjoy yourself.  There's nothing riding on this league.  It's just for fun.

Yeah - once or twice I've sent Yahoo a thing where you can request that they check a stat - and in each instance they've been right so far.

But I'm relatively confident that the 3 points are coming one way or the other since this is the second paragraph of the post-game report:

"Fredrik Modin scored two goals, John Grahame needed to make only 15 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Tampa Bay Lightning handed the Thrashers another brutal loss, 6-0 Thursday night. "

Do shutouts usually take awhile to get into the stat tracker?  The Lightning game ended like 3 hours ago, Grahame got a shutout - and I haven't gotten the points for it.

If I had those extra 3, I'd be in first.   :o

Don't look at me, I've barely made any line-up changes at all.

Cool.  I think the combined with making a win worth twice as much (or more) as a save would fix any of the SP and RP scoring issues.

Is there a way to make it so that no more (SP,RP) guys are able to be plugged into SP spots?

It's my own fault, but I didn't realize there was a difference and I drafted thinking more along last year's lines.

Whatever you guys all want is fine with me, I have no idea how this would affect my team one way or the other.

On the subject of the Big Lebowski DVD - again...

The one I picked up yesterday does say 118 minutes on it for the run-time.
The older one that I traded in said 98 minutes.

I know I keep asking, but  has anyone heard anything new about this?

I've got NO players playing today.  I expect to drop a few spots by the end of the evening.   :-[

Supposedly the scene at the end where Cary Elwes just saws through his leg is more graphic.  Can anyone confirm that is the only difference.  If so a pass for me.  Great flick.  Although the sequel looks disappointing with the been there done that type of thing.  

That's my impression - the cut is only a minute longer.

If you get it at Best Buy, it does have a free ticket to see Saw II included - which makes the whole thing a pretty good value IMO.

For today:

This will be my first live draft - is there a special area in yahoo that we go to get to it?
