I don't play public leagues so wouldn't know about them. But yeah, it does catch some people by surprise, however I find that many 'casual' players don't read the rules in advance and complain (see the boards) at this time of year - not just finals week, but max games, playoff brackets, tiebreakers, etc. But I digress. - horrorfan Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:59:05 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12960 I disagree about Burrows. Last year AV played the Sedins heavily down the stretch so Henrik could win the scoring race. I expect the same this year, and Burrows will be a beneficiary. - jff100 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:00:12 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12959 [b]RE: H2H Finals[/b] Was it just 1 week last year? My bad, last year I only played in custom leagues and the finals were 2 weeks... This year was the first time I played in a public league and just noticed that finals were just 1 week and that caught me by surprise. Either way if you are a smart poolie you'd adjust your roster accordingly. But I know the "casual" fantasy hockey fan probably will be playing public Yahoo! leagues so I thought I'd give them a heads up. - Ryan Ma Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:10:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12958 [b]RE: Burrows[/b] Sorry forgot to add that Burrows production pretty much comes hand in hand with playing with the Sedins. No Sedins and Burrows isn't much more than a third line checker IMO. - Ryan Ma Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:07:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12957 [b]RE: Burrows Yesterday[/b] Swing and a miss on my part. But with the President's trophy pretty much locked up, I wouldn't be surprised to see AV bench the Sedins to keep them fresh in the next couple of games. Also the Kops situation brought up a lot of worries in people's mind. You don't want something stupid happening to your star players in pretty much "meaningless" games. How much would Nuck fans riot if one of the twins pulled a Kopitar? They'd have AVs head on a stick... - Ryan Ma Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:06:47 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12952 Here is my take on Dany Heatley this year: [url]http://www.bayareabias.com/sharks/38-2010-11-season-sharks/205-the-dany-heatley-non-factor.html[/url] Also, hockey on Yahoo is like the red-headed stepchild. Their response is always the "we will look into it" BS and it is always the last to receive any updates to it. Baseball is always first, then football and then hockey. So any new features you see in baseball (like finally trading draft picks) you will see next year in hockey. - Aaron Wed, 30 Mar 2011 07:25:31 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12950 Glenn, I run a league and you are right there were options on which week to make the finals week. However, making it two weeks was not an option, unfortunately. When I noticed this, that's when I contacted Yahoo and they gave the response I mentioned below your post. - horrorfan Wed, 30 Mar 2011 05:53:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12949 Hey Ryan, just to clarify the Yahoo thing, the commish had several playoff options to choose from when setting up the league. I can't recall if a two week final was an option this year, but not all leagues have their final from Mar. 28 to April 3. In my league, our final runs Apr. 3-10. - Glen Hoos Wed, 30 Mar 2011 05:00:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12944 Nice work Ryan. As for the H2H finals, this is the second year where it's been one week long. I questioned it last year and got an ignorant response saying that they'll look into new features blah blah. I told him it had been two weeks for years and they just changed it, but didn't get a response. - horrorfan Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:49:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3581-changing-your-fantasy-fate-part-four#comment-12943 You don't bench your stars, Ryan - they may see less ice time to the end of the regular season to back off the workload but you need them ready for the playoffs and that means playing games - you seem to forget that Daniel is chasing an individual trophy or two here and I don't see him getting benched because of that. Soooo, I think you might expect Burrows to be at his same old pop stand and scoring a few (like yesterday). - Shoeless Wed, 30 Mar 2011 01:46:17 +0100
