So I'll chime in here..

We put together a show on the advanced stats that we find the most valuable for making trade/free agent/roster decisions on our own fantasy teams (and in the podcast) throughout the season.

Hope you'll have a listen and let us know what you think -- and if you have any questions about what we talked about, you can ask them here, too.

The theme was goofy but in a strange way I kinda liked it...(probably because its relevant to the site name)

Hey guys, great podcast!

I have always been in points only leagues, as well as FHL Sim leagues, but never the yahoo "head to head" type leagues. Regardless, I find your podcast interesting.

Not sure if you've covered it, but could you guys touch on how to get started with the type of fantasy hockey leagues you guys are always talking about (ie. yahoo leagues that count things like shots, PIM, +/-). I'd like to know what to look for when joining a league, if there are there any pay leagues (with $ prizes). With a new season fast approaching, I think it would be good timing.

Also, please mention me on the podcast so I can feel famous for a moment when I am cutting my lawn or painting my house. Thanks!
