I have to use Combofix to uninstall the program. I'm not suggesting it is the prospect site, but I have yet to figure out which of the sites I regularly visit is causing the problem for me. If anyone else is noticing this with the prospect site, I'd like more info. - SeaDawg Sat, 08 Sep 2012 17:53:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22485 Kassian wasn't the key to the deal - Zajac and Marchand were. With Zajac (and Little at RW), I should dominate the FW category each week. With Marchand, I upgrade my winger position by adding one of the best multi-cat LW in the game. Kassian won't be offensively productive for a few years, but he should have solid PIM and HIT numbers. - angus Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:13:12 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22484 Angus, I know you're a big Canuck fan, but I can't share your enthusiasm for Kassian. Don't think you did too well in that trade for that reason. BTW, PIM is one of the worst categories in fantasy hockey. - bullwinkle Sat, 08 Sep 2012 07:15:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22483 Germant - not aware of that. Perhaps try and email Dobber to see what the issue may be? - angus Sat, 08 Sep 2012 06:56:27 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22482 PIM are fine, especially in deep league, like a 28 team keeper. - hawkdog Sat, 08 Sep 2012 06:50:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22481 Can't access the site. Google saying the site has had incidents (13 of them I believe) of installing unauthorized programs on computers without user knowledge. Anybody else getting this? - germant Sat, 08 Sep 2012 05:52:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22480 Thank as always for your rambling Jeff I like your thought about the STL line and really like your trade you made, Zajac shoud rebound he is a buy low candidate and Marchand is a stud in a stat league OEL was expandable whit your depth at defense;) - bluteau Fri, 07 Sep 2012 22:52:35 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22479 Yup- that format grew on me fast- subtle change but one that works bigtime. - Fighting_Emu Fri, 07 Sep 2012 19:02:56 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22478 I haven't been in a league with PIMS in years. Got roped into a new keeper this year that counts them because somebody bailed during the draft and my buddy asked me to step in. I've already considered the only bright spot of a lockout is I could bail quieter from a league that hasn't even begun if there's no season. I'm saying boo (not boo-urns) to PIMS. - sanstanya Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:51:05 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22477 sorry, the article was from late june... - InnocentBystander Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:27:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22476 i, too, will give a big thumbs up on the new format. the quality is always top-notch. FWIW: my thoughts on blues line-up... from an article in late september: [i]http://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/blues-bits-hitchcock-reflects-on-playoff-loss-looks-ahead/article_cb96c22e-baff-11e1-9f66-0019bb30f31a.html[/i] • Hitchcock didn't want to get into potential line combinations in June, but he gave some indications. It seems likely that if Stewart can perform at a higher level than last year, he could begin the season with Patrik Berglund and David Perron. David Backes and T.J. Oshie are expected to stay together with a left winger yet to be determined. That could be a spot for Matt D'Agostini. It's likely that you'll see Andy McDonald and Alex Steen stick together, as they were at the end of last season. With Vladimir Tarasenko playing right wing, he could be a fit on the McDonald and Steen line, meaning there's a chance McDonald or Steen could play center. Steen is the likely bet. that would give a potential starting top nine of: D'Agostini/Schwartz-Backes-Oshie Perron-Berglund-Stewart McDonald-Steen-Tarasenko if Schwartz makes the blues, he will be in the top 9 and D'Agostini will be the odd man out. and i agree with your sentiment that tarasenko and schwartz will definitely not be on the same line. there is no need to put that pressure on them when the blues can protect them and still roll three balanced two-way lines. in a few years time, they will likely be linemates as their styles suite each other perfectly and they would have the potential to be a very productive duo... - InnocentBystander Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:25:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22475 Nice read Angus. For the record, I cannot even FATHOM my league including PIMs, it's always completely flummoxed me why anyone would want that category. For the same kind of impact (i.e., increasing the pool of valuable players, by bringing players into the mix who would have no value in a points-focused league) I strongly favor Blocked Shots, which hugely increases the pool of valuable Dmen and even makes certain forwards far more valuable. Anyway, just my two cents. - ross10019 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:49:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4882-september-08-2012#comment-22473 Soooo much easier to read in the new format, Angus. Love it! Thanks for being open to change. - Curtis Curve Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:24:16 +0100
