SmartMarks Fantasy Hockey?

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I only had 1 guy play yesterday.

I know. I'm just picking on you.

 

Besides, I doubt I'll have THAT big of a strangle hold on ya when we hit Sat 11th. That'll even things out quite a bit.

Ok, so my opponent gets a tie. Having more ties counts as a point? That is bizarre. Games started seems like a weird stat to keep as well. Could we change it to stick with just Wins, maybe? Or Wins/Losses? That seems better.

It's a statistical category that IS important. How many teams have won a playoff position by a single point from a tie? A lot. Besides, they worked hard for that tie, and deservedly so.

 

Thus it should be classified. And it's the person who has the most totals for that category that gets a point.

 

Which is why I'm currently up 11-1 against the Leafs.

Ok, think about it like this. Your teams goalies win ever game that week. Yay! Your opponents' goalies tie every game that week. Yet in terms of points in the fantasy league, both teams will be tied (your team wins the wins, they win ties, you tie for losses). Maybe I'm in the minority here, but this is wrong. Ties shouldn't have the same weight as wins, not by a longshot.

It's generally not.

 

The guys that rack up PIM's are protecting their often more expensive teammates from big checks and unnecessary stuff after the play is stopped. They are the enforcers of the team, who fight to get momentum going for their team as well.

I just don't understand in the league why having a higher number in PIM will win the stat catagory. I would think it is a negative but obviously it is a positive.

 

Crazy Canadian sport.

And usually they are the defenceman right? So wouldn't they technically be doing their job by roughing up the other team's star players?

Sometimes they are defensemen, but the forward enforcers are more prominent now. Defensemen are expected to be big, but not cripple their team with penalties.

My thinking in this was PIM was more or less the same thing as a turnover............don't do it. But now it seems to be like a Blades of Steel or Midway SportZ game.

I'm guessing that they assume that the higher the number in each category, the better. It's not so in PIM or GAA.

 

Check the GAA. If the person with the highest GAA won that category, the league numbers are fucked.

Why is raza losing 11-3 in PIM then?

He's only winning 3 stat categories and the other team is winning 11. Raza is winning Attempts, PPP, and GWG. He's losing PIM's 10-12.
