I definitely like this lower team size. There is going to be some actual thought needed in choosing your lineups rather then trying to scramble to find a player to stick in every slot like last year.

I think it will be beneficial when trying to pick up a player who actually plays when the injury bug gets rolling as well. :-)

Interesting start...I'm glad I have ovi otherwise there wouldn't be to much to be happy about.

It's kinda like even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. :-)


(I'm gonna screen print the standings cuz I don't think I'll see it like that again. :-))

I see I have suplanted myself at the bottom of the league to start the season (again). If history hold true I will fight my way into the top 5 and then crash and burn in the last few weeks. :-)

Two days in a row!! :-)

(I have to enjoy the moment cuz I know it won't last. :-))

When my favorite team can shut down Ovi, have Backstrom score a couple and still win it's a great night!

Still rockin' last place, and falling, :-)

Don't worry Tom, Ill keep you company :-)

Good to see the league is back in the order it should be. :-)

I think I made my push towards the top a little too early. Now my fall will be much faster than expected. :-)

It's a loooooong season my friend. Many, many changes.

Its very lonely at the bottom... at least Tom is sticking around to keep me company.

I am getting killed by injuries already =( At least Datsyuk should be playing for me finally!

So who wants to move a top tier goaltender for Vinny L, Kovalchuk or even Crosby?

My team couldn't find the net with a beach ball, Dan. :-)

I might be tempted to move Luongo. I will think on it

Gimme Lundqvist and your scoring problems will magically solve themselves!

:-)

...and create a whole new set! :-)

I know I will get no sympathy here because of where I am in the standings (which changes quite drastically DTD), but I just have to ***** about the fact that I have SEVEN players on IR??? WTH is up with that!?! And we're not talking about a bunch of chumps, either. Our league has five IR spots and I thought that was crazy. Now I know that it is not enough! Ha!

OK, I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Injuries seem to be way up in the NHL for early in the season, I have had 6 on the IR already.

Especially since one of them was placed on the IR, then you grabbed him. :-)
