cody (Fargo): tavares out! We having fun yet? yesterday at 6:10pm x
Bruyns (Barrie): NHL numbers seems decent for now yesterday at 6:12pm x
burnsy8801(Leafs GM): I find that nothing will ever hold a candle to how accurate and user friendly Capgeek was....NHL Numbers seems so ECHL or worse and Capgeek was the best! yesterday at 6:15pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): In defense of other sites, Capgeek was doing such a good job that most of the other places stopped trying was mainly just copying capgeek info yesterday at 6:46pm x

Apr 28/15
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Detroit is playing pond hockey!!! 23 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Why is Fis/Far initial for Fargo. We can only have one abbreviation for a team name. So please choose one!! 22 hours ago * x
Rebels Eric: yea good point. i'll update the abrv list 22 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): Fargo!!!! 22 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): Straight off the streets
22 hours ago x TheNudge (Portland): I think Washington as this game 21 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): 30 second left in the game 2-1 21 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): omg 21 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): sooo close 21 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Washington was the better team this series; the Islanders were lucky to even get to a game 7. they were outplayed even in some of the games they won 21 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Do our rosters expand to 70 players now or at the draft or when? 21 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey Dave, I was kidding about it was soo close 20 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Islander did come close at the end but they couldn't get anything done in that game 20 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): it was a disaster from the get go 20 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Also for the 70, I would say before the draft meaning now. So we should going at 70 now 20 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Maybe Dave will confirm. I ask because I'm at 60 (full) right now, as our some other teams. So I can't do 2 for 1s, without dropping someone. If the rosters aren't expanded now, that's ok - I can wait. Would just like to know. 20 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): And I didn't realize you were kidding re: NYI. I wasn't impressed with them at all this playoffs. They were totally outclassed by Washington. IT's too bad, I would have loved to see NYR vs NYI. 20 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I would think you can go over during the off season 20 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): I'm under the assumption we're at 70 now that we're into the next season 19 hours ago x
Dave (Pembroke): we'll up it to 70 now so we don't stall trading....... 11 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That s what I assume Dave, thx for confirmimg !! 10 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): which is the giants owner? 8 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): nevermind found it 8 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): What good is faceoff won category if we allow wingers to take faceoffs? 3 hours ago x
burnsy8801(Leafs GM): I think it happens in an actual NHL game when the centre gets kicked out of the face off and the winger gets put in to take it which won't really account for much but it is still something...heck even DMen take a faceoff here and there. 3 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): I think what happens is a center gets wing eligibility and then the stat gets exploited through starting centers as wingers. Just not sure what sense tha tmakes. 3 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): It is going to force me to forgo FOW all together and focus on the remaining stats 3 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): If you're dumping centers send Lehtera my way 3 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): let's talk 3 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: What should be discussed is a maximum # of centers for each scoring period. That may take care of that problem. 3 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): A system like that has led to alot of debates in another league of mine. What exactly determines a C? What exact time period is looked at to make such a determination? How long does a player keep their determination as C or W? etc. 3 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): How fair is it to talk about this now when I got screwed by it and now I'm trying to win that cats only to find out that some of the guys in here want it change 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): like fuck off!! That's crazy talk!! The only way around it is to either focus on other stats to win your match or to simply trade for dual eligible and face off like I ve done 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): stop crying about it and just do some deals 2 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): Take a chill pill there Frank 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): It just sucks when we are trying to change this and that all the time 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): After a while you simply don't know where to pitch yourself 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): From the get go I hated the idea of having dual eligibility but in this league we use it so please use it at your advantage instead of getting mad at it 2 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): It was an opinion, it doesn't mean the world is turning upside down. He stated his thought on something, there's nothing wrong with a discussion. It wasn't the start to a war. 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I understand stand that and I get what Cody feel since I fucking bench a few of my center in the final since I knew I was going to lose face off 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): There's a big difference between saying I hate this and let try and fix it. If Cody and Vancouver was saying how it sucks then great. 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: deep breaths bro, slowly count to ten 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Just for the sake of discussion, another factor to consider is that Fantrax assigned C/W eligibility at random. I had Vermette as C/W...and then they changed him to C only. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason in Fantrax to who gets C/W status, or... 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): how long they get it for. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Ryan Kessler is C/W....he took almost 1700 faceoffs last year. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): But that status can chance on Fantrax's whim. If you trade because someone has C/W eligibility, just keep in mind that the eligibility can disappear at any time. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The other point I've brought up before - the FOW category doesn't reward skill. It just rewards people who take a ton of faceoffs. Even people who are crappy at faceoffs get value from FOW stat. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): If there was a counter balance, like FOW %, at least it would be also attempting to measure a skill (i.e. winning face offs, as opposed to just taking a bunch). 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): #rant-over lol 2 hours ago x
Dave (Pembroke): +- is even worse a category Dave....IMO 2 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): They reset eligibility in the summer and it locks for the season I believe. No idea how they make a determination but I know it locks during the season 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): Nudge....try to avoid you intrinsic thoughts when thinking about how to better a league. Having dual eligible guys ruins the concept of the stat. If you don't see that you are blinded. Small sacrifices now to better the league because as of now it is a 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): useless stat. 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): overall the league seems great but no leageu is perfect 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): league 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: LIF, Staal was changed from c to c/w mid season. Flynn may have changed too if i remember correctly 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: Boyd Gordon is available. He wins lots of Faceoffs 2 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): FO% is only available for premium leagues I believe. As long as we keep this free are hands are tied with some of the stats. For example we are losing SHTOI and not because we want to 2 hours ago x
Dave (Pembroke): the thing is...the stat categories are the same for everyone....how we take advantage of them is up to us 2 hours ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): Really? I could swear I read somewhere that Fantrax does not change a players eligibility midseason. 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I say we all agree to change a stat that will negatively affect Frank
2 hours ago x alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Oh Mr Pemboroke. Don't even get me started on +/-. That's the dumbest stat of all time lol. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I'd rather play paper-scissor-rock that have +/- for a category lol 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: Good idea 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Great idea! Let's see which category Frank is doing best in....and then drop that stat! 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: LIF, i thought so too thats why i remember seeing the Staal change 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): I think i'll just toss teh category each week..... 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): haven't decided yet 2 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): If frank sends me one shitty palyer for star offer that may be the best approach
2 hours ago x Long Island Fishermen (Josh): you mean you haven't been introduced to the initial Frank offers yet? you're missing out 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): LIF - you are partly right. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Fantrax will not take away position eligibility during the year, but they will add to it. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): So a C could be bumped to a C/W during the year, but not the reverse. 2 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Apparently it's tough to get a Frank-approved deal through the trade panel, based on my limited experience here... 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): At least that's what it says on Fantrax's Q and A's 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): To be honest Kevin, traditionally I've found Eric to have the highest incidence of vetos. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): But that's certainly not the case thus far this season. 2 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): There were a lot of debates last year over the standards for applying a veto.....it's impossible to craft a specific rule on that....so I've just let the topic go. Whatever happens, happens. 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: When I need a good laugh, I go back to one of Frank's original offers to me. Everything looks brighter after that. In fact I am going to go have a laugh right now:) 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey Cody, I tried to take the dual eligibility part of the league but it didn't work 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): When I what a good laugh I just look at Golden Seals counter offer. Hey Nucks, I've never hidden that I start low and at times really too low. 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): So laugh all you want but I'll never stop starting low 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: From April 2014, Frank offered me Jordan Staal for Wayne Simmonds, Tyler Tofolli and my 2015 first round pick hahahahahhahahahah 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: thats what you get when your offer is that low frank. i'm sure "fair" would have been right in the middle 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: Low starting offers are an insult. It wastes everyones time and you wonder why I will not negotiate with you 2 hours ago x
Vancouver Canucks: OK. Enough for today. I feel much better now. 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Oh no you spell the beans Nucks. I'm soo hurt!! 2 hours ago * x
TheNudge (Portland): So your going to tell me that the following offer is not laughable 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Kopitar 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): for 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Lars Eller, Gaudreau,Kemp,all my 2015 picks,Pasternak and Trouba 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Like Fuck you Nucks!! 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): By the way that offer came from Golden Seals 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: be sure to post your offer to me 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: and that was after what 3 pm's for a counter on your shit 2 hours ago x
Golden Seals: thats what i call a "go fuck yourself counter offer" frank about an hour ago x

TheNudge (Portland): oh fuck off about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: lmao about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm just fed up that I'm the only bad offer out there. I've had some gm come at me first with terrible offer about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): But do go cry about it. I either counter or say get out of here about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Boo who and who cares about trading with you Nucks. There's not much I would want either way so no big loss about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: "Get out of here". That is what we say to you Frank! about an hour ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): This is extremely entertaining about an hour ago x

Vancouver Canucks: Oh I save that shit. It's gold! about an hour ago * x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): Frank serious question, have we ever completed a deal? Been in leagues with you since 2011 and had many discussions, some actually did get close and one still is in Puck. But have we ever actually completed one? about an hour ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): TB in Richies now dead league, TB in Real, LA in Puck, LIF in here I think are the leagues I've been in with you about an hour ago x
Golden Seals: i had some from past seasons but had to purge recently about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Frank is passionate which is good and very likeable despite his starting offers. about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I may lose my trade with him in the end but i honestly think he will regret moving pastrnek roto or not about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): not sure why? about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I have yet to make a deal with Frank. Haven't even been close to one. about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I think he is telling you that you limit yoru trading partners starting tha tlow. about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Vancouver you seem to be the most conservative gm i've talked to thus far about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I doubt anyone gets much past you about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I have a pretty good feel for this league in a few days i think....lots of goo dgms about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I made a number of deals at the deadline and I like my team as it is. Only need to tinker with a few pieces and wont make a deal for the sake of making a deal. about an hour ago x

cody (Fargo): He appears to be shedding cap and streamlining his team still about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I would agree. It's a long summer and values go up near the draft and beginning of the season about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Stepan is going to get a massive congtract about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): and voracek about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): so he has some adjustments to make yet.... but voracek is a year away about an hour ago x
Vancouver Canucks: I would rather get Frank going at this time of the year. Keeps me interested about an hour ago x

cody (Fargo): they are insignificant for elite talent about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): dropoff is fast bt pick 3 and 8 about an hour ago x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): I now own Schmaltz in 3 leagues and have tried and failed at acquiring him in a 4th. He was taken one pick ahead of me in the entry draft last year there. Very high on him. about an hour ago x
burnsy8801(Leafs GM): I know Grig went 12th, what I mean is whether its 3rd 12th or 25th time needs to be considered as some who were drafted 40th make it in the 1st year while a 3rd overall might take 3 years...hard to say...not bad for 3rd overall pick return... about an hour ago x

cody (Fargo): its a crapshoot about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): yakupov blows about an hour ago x

cody (Fargo): Kane is cap hell deal about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Gaudreau is soft about an hour ago x

burnsy8801(Leafs GM): exavtly about an hour ago x

burnsy8801(Leafs GM): really??? about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): When someone want a player like Gaudreau, you are not looking for PIM, hits or block shots but you want to upgrade you Offense point like G,A,pts,shots, PPP about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I was talking about Gaudreau bro about an hour ago x

Vancouver Canucks: Is your child watching Treehouse also? 56 minutes ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I find this league extremely fun already...Frank, I think everyone is just trying to get a reaction out of you since you are clearly very passionate about all this - which is a good thing! 55 minutes ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): You remind me a lot of a buddy of mine...he is a french dude named Francois...doesn't take much to get him going, but has a big heart and laughs a lot. 54 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): No Nucks, she was crying alot 45 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): She's sick these last few days 45 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm also French but name is Francis so we aren't a like !!
44 minutes ago x TheNudge (Portland): I will agree about one thing which us French guy's are the best at sex!!
44 minutes ago * x burnsy8801(Leafs GM): and that is where the conversation stopped! 38 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): how many French guys have you had sex with? 14 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): lol 13 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): not 101 13 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! 8 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm NOT into guy's. You should be happy since you have more choice now!! 7 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): You lucky dog (Dave(Buffalo))
y (Fargo): problem solved 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Also now team might be better off playing 7 D 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): but well ice time usually comes with good stats anyways 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): probably a useless category that can be gamed by playing more guys that have 4 games in a week vs 3 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): so with a deep roster you just bench the guys playing less games 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Not really bro 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): even if they slightly better 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): it's avg 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): ok that is slightly better 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): yepà 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): people are always searching for metrics 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Total Ice time would be fucking dumb 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): at least the wonky stats make it harder 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): ice time is ddumb 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): you think justin schultz would get any minutes on a good team? 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): but it is what it is 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): leagues only in year 3 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm sure he would get ice time with the Ducks 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): saying that is silly 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): fix it now before its too late
14 hours ago xTheNudge (Portland): lol!! 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): heh 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): i gotta run 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): i'll bless you with my genius again later 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): like I said we are restricted with not paying it the fee 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Dave want this league to be free 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): get rid of stupid stats 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): too many metrics just stupefies things
14 hours ago xcody (Fargo): hits and block shots should be combined too 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I thought SHTOI was an interesting stat. Some players specialize in penalty killing. And we already have a crap load of categories to reward offensive stuff. 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We shall see bro 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): but cap in reality is for points 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): if you want all that other crap cap needs to go 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I agree that I love the PK/g 14 hours ago x
cody (Fargo): oh well....i'll have to learn how to use these odd cats 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): yes you will 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I'm not sure I see the relationship between cap and some of the odd stats? why can't they coexist together? 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I think a lot of stats would be different if we had our pick of the litter. My worry is that Fantrax is just going to keep cutting back on free stats. 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I'm just waiting for PPP or SOG to be a premium lol 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I agree with you Dave 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I thought we combine PK and PPP 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): with STP 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Frank agrees with me about something. He must be drinking lol 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Cap league with many different stats more reflective of real life NHL...you have four lines, players play different roles etc...from a simulation standpoint, this is pretty damn sweet! 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Now I know I gotta stop drinking 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I will never join another points-only league. 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm in a point only league and I've been apart since we open business back in 08 and it is less simulating 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Are you going to stay in TGHPE, Kevin? 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): These type of league make you think more about your line up and you'll bench 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): You better say no Kevin 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I'm in one of Kevin's former points only leagues. They dispersed his team. I got Voracek. 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): NIce!! 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I had 4th pick. The three the went ahead of him, in order: Seguin, Tarasenko and MacKinnon. 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I take those three ahead of Voracek 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): So it make sense 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Mack as tons of potential 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Josi went 5th, but my team is really strong on the back end. 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Seguin is a beast and Tarasenko as unlimited offense 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Josi is good but I think this was his top as producing 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I think Josi will be a 35 to 45 pts D on a yearly basis 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Yeah, Kevin built a solid team in a short period of time. But I think the points only format bores him, not that he's discovered Fantrax 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): you meant now 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): since you wrote not 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Dave, I will stay in TGHPE because of my loyalty to Matty...you won't meet a more solid individual than him 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Glad you got Voracek too 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Why Kevin Why ? 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey Kevin, I heard you live in Ottawa 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): The format is so stale though...draft in Sept...then ignore...then make a flurry of deals at the deadline to jockey for position since player points travel with traded players 14 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Yes...born in Mississauga, but in Ottawa since 1988...love it here 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Nice Nice 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'll drop by this weekend 14 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Make sure the window is unlock 14 hours ago x

Dave (Pembroke): Happy Birthday to our co-commish and all around great guy, Matt (Barrie) 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): xoxo 53 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Cody, it's really hard to say re Panarin. He's 23 and a leading scorer in KHL...but it's hard to know how this translates to NHL. He has an out clause, so if he doesn't make the Hawks lineup, he'll go back to the KHL 29 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Chi has cap issues, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him in their top 6, with somebody like Sharpe shipped out 28 minutes ago x

cody (Fargo): nfl has it right there imho 22 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): partially gaurenteed 22 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I suspect we'd have a long lock out if the nhl ever tried to negotiate that in a cba. 19 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): heck, even getting a salary cap was painful. 18 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): not that I disagree with you, I just don't know if it is realistic. 18 minutes ago x
