You can check by yourself, it marks me 1-9 when i clearly won the goalie related bits.

[TwoBuy]

Wait, what?

How the hell are the points calculated? In my last matchup, the other side won the goal against average with two more points given per match, and the goaltending percentage with .020 less than mine.

Should i take goaltenders that suck more?

Mine did the same fucking thing. It's cause your goalies didn't notch enough time in the net for the week. Screwed me over big time.

[Lethal Interjection]

Yeah, we just had/remembered this issue in another league. Your goalies need to clock 3 games in a week, between them. So you can't just yank them after you get a shutout, for example.
And if you have a Blues goalie... well, lets just say they dipped into their 4th string goalie this weekend, due to injury.

[cheez.wiz]

But they did have 3 games. 2 wins and a loss.

[Frostbite]

Man, I hate the goalie rules. Sorry yahoo that my two starting goalies were injured. Nevermind my one remaining goalie had the week of his life posting 3 wins with a 2.2 GAA and a .94 save percentage. No, I get boned because Nabokov and Dipietro get hurt like jerkoffs. Yeah, that's how things should be run. Stupid.

All i have to say is that week where Luongo threw up two straight shut outs rocked! Go my stats!

Yeah, thanks for the points though . I got screwed like that earlier too. Very stupid.

Team Wigit was telling me that apparently we actually have it set for 4 games needing played, not 3 like I have in other leagues.

[ruotwocone]

Man, Twotwins are dominating this league. What's up guys? We're filthy Americans with very limited hockey knowledge. Cream us already. I feel like we're the girl in the march madness pool who does really well by guessing which team will win based on the color scheme of the uniforms.

[TwoBuy]

Fuck yeah. Whooo. Go Americans. Suck on it you filthy Canucks! I'm ruling this league! It's like my accidental pick-up of an AWESOME goalie was totally intentional! Like that year I grabbed Larry Johnson the day before Priest Holmes went down and ended up winning the fantasy football league by leaps and bounds.

[Frostbite]

My accidental first round draft pick goalie is out, Dipietro is out, my best scorer in Gaborick is out. Yeah, I'm boned.

My problem is that I went a bit too heavy on particular stats and it has taken my team a bit to get going. But I am moving up in the ranks a bit. What also hurts me is that my LWs are terribly disappointing, but I have about 6 good to great RWs (my Cs are pretty staggered across skill level). So I just don't feel like I have a decent quality team across the board.

And they're all GOING DOWN this week! F* yeah!

Apparently not so much. Another burned by the 4 games on the goalie stats.
It seems that perhaps 4 goalie games on the week is a bit much for a league of this sort. You have an injury or a team who doesn't play much that week or a hot backup, and you get pooched. And, with all starters picked, it isn't as if you can pick up some supplemental goalies (or at least none that will play...).

Yeah, would have been fine (and maybe able to win those two other offensive categories too) except that Friday is my day to move subs around for the week and since I was on Thanksgiving break I forgot to do it so my starters weren't in for the weekend. Oh well. Still 1st place loser! And is that a 24 +/- I see?
