My team isn't actually that bad for having not attended the draft, but I made some small changes and I expect more to follow... and BTW, who controls who makes the "no cut" list? Is that Yahoo or was that you Chris?

Is it just us in this league or are there non-avcanadians in here too? How long is each game?

It's just the six of us in this league... each "game" is one week long, where you battle head-to-head against one of the 5 other teams. Your record for the week is then added each week and you are positioned accordingly in the standings. This goes on until the Spring... and the last few weeks of the season are playoffs, where you seeded according to the season standings.

You're all going down!!!! :smt040

Monday to Sunday is the normal week sked... but, the first week included the few games from the previous week, just like the last week of the season will have a few extra games.

Yeah, who is Badjers... got everyone else figured out.

What's everyones teams named? I can only figure out Haz.

And this is pissing me off, it let me drop a player and I show an empty spot but I try to pick one up and apparently it puts me over.

WTF?

Chris is Baby Got Backstrom.
Haz is the Beaverhawks.
Pretty sure Elman is the Bottlers.
You are the Cherokees.
I am Toews and Confused.

And Badjers are a mystery to me...

You are only allowed so many players in your lineup, so if you have an empty slot and players stacked at the bottom, that's no good. Just drop and drag players from the bottom into open slots... one of your D slots is empty for today for example. Even if a player isn't playing that night, keep the line up full. You are also allowed up to one player in Injured Reserve... you didn't need to dump Campbell, you could have put him on IR and used someone else until he got better.

If you drop/add players... you need to reset your lineups or the players you put in might not be in anymore.

Good luck.
