OT: HFWings Keeper Fantasy Hockey League: Season One

[jprenkert]

Daily Tomorrow means, you can make moves daily, but roster wont reflect it till "tomorrow". One way to deter "streaming", specially in baseball.

I just created a H2H league and went to read what the settings mean. The one that I called out is the correct setting, it just has horrible wording in the overview screen

With three pickups a week only, we cant really stream

What kind of rinky dink operation are you running here @Eternal Sunshine ???

 

[jprenkert]

That's true. Definitely get rid of streaming that way.

 

[PullHard]

I can't change that one currently, looks like we will have to endure until next season to have that rule edited

Sorry guys, that was unfamiliar to me as I'm new to Yahoo

 

[Bench]

Wait, so we can't change the starting goalies the day of? That's not good.

Only if you picked up that goalie the same day. I learned the hard way on this one.

Or activate a player from IR, it takes a day

 

[jprenkert]

Just you can't Bench. Everyone else can.

found that out the hard way as well lol

 

[Bench]

Ohh. Right. So if I pick up a goalie on waivers it takes a day. But if he's on my bench, I can change it immediately. OK, that's what I thought was the situation.

I actually don't mind that rule too much. But the the same for IR sounds annoying.

Quick question: how long until a guy sent to the minors is back to NA? One of my hundred Preds wingers got sent back, ha.

 

[jprenkert]

usually takes a day for Yahoo to switch it

newbie question: what is streaming with fantasy sports?

newbie question: what is streaming with fantasy sports?

Basically picking up players very briefly. So if we didn't have movement limits, everyone would be scrubbing through all the backup goalies trying to pick up them starting soon as it was announced.

It's why you'll notice the "transaction trends" tab is full of backup goalies from people grabbing them for 1 game. Streaming is a common tactic in fantasy football for defenses (pick the best waiver wire defense playing the worst team). And baseball pitchers.

Edit: Figured I should give an example, too. Like right now on my roster, Abby is my "streaming" option because he's on the top line with Larkin. Soon as he's pushed back to the bottom 6, he's going to get dropped by everyone.

 

[jprenkert]

Thats explain good Bench.

Winger98, this is usually an issue in Baseball fantasy leagues when it comes to pitchers. Basically you "hit it and quit it" with those players.

Might see it in this league on sundays or saturdays for guys looking for more points to win or keep the lead.

 

[Sparty]

Just realized Sparty has 8 games more to be played than me this week. Freakin frick!!!

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

 

[Sparty]

Why do lineups lock at the start of the day? For example, Vas is playing today and I cannot activate him to my active roster because dropping a player doesnt get reflected until tomorrow? No games have started yet...why is this the case?

That didn't happen to me, I wish it would have. I had to drop Beauvillier to activate him and then he didn't end up playing. Beauvillier obv scored a goal while he was no longer on my roster.

You can drop them but you can't activate them

But you have to plan both one day ahead, so pickups for saturday on friday and on saturday for sunday
Really makes last minute injury decisions difficult, oh well first year of any league always has growing pains!

Meant to say i had to drop Beauvillier to activate Stastny from IR, it happened immediately.

Ah, so like Chiasson and Tanev for me. Except I could probably ditch both now. Wouldn't mind being able to flip goalies in and out, though. Lately mine either haven't been playing or have gotten shelled. Then again I was looking at Cam Ward before this week started because Chicago plays four games this week and I figured he'd see some action....and he did, and gave up five goals.

If there's a team whose goalie you want cursed, and they're available to pick up, let me know and I'll do my best.

the "grab whatever goalie is playing Carolina" tactic.

 

[Perfect Human]

Aaaaaaand look at Vasy standing on his head...

 

[Bench]

I wish you would have ditched them. Chiasson throwing up 13 points, come on man. You erased a 40 point deficit tonight. Meanwhile I had to make sure one of my skaters even played tonight because he literally put up 0's in every column. He did play. Plenty.

Going to come down to Sunday.

 

[Bench]

Hope you all got a nice close look at my latest fantasy star Ben Harpur tonight. 5 blocked shots against the Wings. Going to block my way to the championship.
