Inaugural BigFooty Keeper League

[two blue tiger]

Ok every week, the goalkeeper numbers against me are bordering on insane. Kindly stop it - my goalkeepers are not a threat haha

With five categories on the line, there's no doubting that goalies are very important in this league. Doesn't help that your two main starters are on IR.

You should put some feelers out for a trade. Might be someone out there who feels like wheeling and dealing. Not me at this stage though.....

Two GF teams from last season (TBT & Mega Snakes) languishing on the bottom of the ladder after 3 matchups.....

Not for long, the Snakes have awoken! After a rather long slumber...

To be fair, Demko can stay on IR the way he is going

Wish the TBT's would wake up. My goaltending a write off too (after I threw Ulmark 18-1, 1.89 GAA, 0.937% back into the pool when picking my starting keepers.........) sigh......

Anyone got any objections to me upping the season acquisitions from 50 to 100?

PG has been giving the transactions a nudge, but to me that says he's having a real crack at winning the league...........

If you want to implement for next season then fine. But not during the season. Everyone knew what the limit was prior to the season start.

Great idea.

 

[two blue tiger]

Two "no's" to increasing acquisition limit, so sorry PG.

Trade to announce

TBT trades Carter Hart + Round 23 pick

to

Teal Thunder for Anders Lee + Round 14 pick


By the way, Trade Deadline is on Feb 22, so if you feel like wheeling and dealing then now is the time. With my TBT team looking at not making the playoffs, I'm happy to look at trades (as TT and I have done with the above, where he needs a goalie and I have excess). Draft picks the go. No stupid offers though. Something that makes sense for both teams please........

 

[two blue tiger]

Another trade to announce

TBT sends Necas, Gostisbehere, Chychrun and 13th round pick (ie. second round in our draft)

To Glasgow Mega Snakes,
who trades Ovechkin, Huberdeau, Dach and 23 round pick.

 

[two blue tiger]

2 rounds to go and only 4 points separate 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th. Walk with Elias the runaway leader, but remember that the TBT's won from 6th last year. Not over by a long long way. Great league.

Oh, and the Bedard stakes are well and truly alive too................

 

[Citizen Erazed]

Is Bedard a McDavid or a Lafreniere?

 

[two blue tiger]

Is Bedard a McDavid or a Lafreniere?

McDavid is surely the best player since Mario, so don’t think there’s too many of him around!

But this guy is the real deal - 123 pts in 48 games in WHL this season, 23 in 7 for Canada in the World Junior Championships……..

No possible way he won’t be pick 1 in the NHL draft (and our draft!!)

 

[Citizen Erazed]

I thought I was a shoe-in to get that pick when I joined haha

How do the Bedard sweepstakes work this season?

7th place “winner”?

 

[Citizen Erazed]

I call dibs! (Is that how it works?)

 

[two blue tiger]

Yep, two bottom teams duke it out, with the winner of that matchup picking first.

Mega Snakes v Teal

One that’s definitely worth winning!!

As for the main game, it pays to remember who it was that won from 6th last year - “just a case of history repeating”

Good luck all. Let the playoffs begin.

 

[two blue tiger]

Close semi finals - TBT's still alive!

Mario v TBT
Elias v Joke

Still waiting for the Bedard Cup, which will be played in same week as the title match. Teal v Mega Snakes

 

[Citizen Erazed]

I do love the mobile app adding me a player for this week's game week instead of yesterday, despite adding the night before. No that it would have mattered.

Great year from you though as a first timer into our league…

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

My team dominated all year and choked when it mattered. Sigh

Funny old league.......

With regards to acquisitions, teams are set at 0000hrs ET in North America for that day’s games. Any acquisition made after midnight won’t be included in that day’s game. It’s ridiculous.

I always enjoy setting one’s team for the remaining week, make an acquisition on the Saturday and then find out the app has reset your squad for the Sunday games to have the only two players playing that day relocated to one’s bench.
