This comes the day after NHL.com changed their TOS to ban programs that automatically pull stats data off their website. NHL.com commented yesterday that they werent doing it against any site currently online. Also, theres like three other sites that do the exact same thing as ExtraSkater that are still running. The guy who runs extra skater declined to comment on the change of the TOS and hasent tweeted in three days.
Speculation is that nhl hired him to basically put extraskater on nhl.com

That's good. I'm looking forward to replacing the shots category in my fantasy keeper league with Corsi/Fenwick for. Now if I can just talk people into trading Hits for PIM. Or even Blocked Shots.

Giguere officially announced his retirement, and I am now officially terrified about having Berra as a backup. Hoping like hell that Roy and Allaire can do for him what they did for Varly last year.
Also, THN logo countdown is at #2 today and in that place is the Coyotes. I don't even.
A Vancouver site is claiming that Las Vegas is getting a team, and that Seattle, Toronto and Quebec City are also getting teams.
Remember those last two lockouts where the owners said they couldn't make enough money? Yeah, that was all just bullshit. Buy one of our 4 new teams!!
The owners complaining about revenue after the highest revenue season in the NHL's entire history was bullshit?
WAT
Allegedly a voice of reason.

I'm guessing 2 of the 4 candidates will actually get a team and we'll get 2 nice, even conferences of 16 teams each.
I'm ready to have my heart broken again. Vegas and Seatle will get teams. The Leafs won't allow Toronto2 to happen and Bettman hates Québec.

The problem with that is in regards to how owners make money with new teams. When a team enters the league brand-spankin'-new, all of the existing owners profit from the new team's entrance fees. The owners don't make a damn thing from moving a team. So when you take a group of business people and give them the option of making a bunch of money or nothing, they'll always take the "bunch of money" option.
From a hockey fan's perspective, it makes more sense to move two teams than to create more teams, which the latter would dilute the talent pool further. A lot of people point to the two Florida teams as examples of suffering markets. But if you pulled the Panthers and put them in a difference market, You guaranteed to have the TB market pick up the Panthers fans (not all, but enough of them to make it worth pointing out). Quebec makes tons of sense, and so does Seattle. @Jean is totally right about the Leafs not allowing another Toronto team. Las Vegas is probably Gretzky's wet dream almost coming to life, but it's a fucking deplorable idea.
Another factor is that the two new teams will need to be in the West, due to East having an extra team in each division. If you put one team in Quebec, you'd have to move another team back West. Creating two new teams in the West solves the discrepancy.

While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.
So, hey, we should probably start talking about me setting up the fantasy league soon
So, Returning players sound off. Any comments about last season? Any changes you want? What's a good draft date? (PM me draft dates please!)
Most importantly: Will you be playing again this season?
Other people interested, if returning people don't comeback?
This season, I'm open to changing from ESPN to some other site! Mostly because I, apparently, forgot my log in info for ESPN! I will, most likely, figure this minor problem out, and resend invites to everyone that was in the league last year. But if anyone has other strong opinions about a different fantasy site, I will consider it.
Also I'm interested in anyone's opinion on scoring systems and the values we assigned to them last season. If you want any changes; left/right wingers, points for PIM, more IR spots, ANYTHING, now is the time.
Also, anyone interested in doing a smaller, keeper league? Cause I sorta want to.
PM me for talking about joining the current league, first come first serve.
PM me if you wanna do a smaller keeper league. The keeper league is just an idea, mostly if I have responses from others that have been in the other PA league for a few years, and have been good, active members.
Ugh! I will not be able to play this year due to life. Someone else will have to win the east and then promptly lose in the playoffs. The keeper league sounds awesome and I wish I had the time.
As a side note, is anyone grabbing NHL 15 for XB1? I need someone to take me under their wing and make me not fucking terrible.
I have been terrible at hockey video games since Brett Hull Hockey on SNES. Give me Ice Hockey or Blades of Steel and I'll wreck your face. Make it fully realistic and I blow. Still fun to play, though.

@Burtletoy Sign me up again cap'n. I don't know how to play a keeper league but I'll play the regular one again.
“There are players we have in our organization today whose numbers are off-the-chart good, and whose character is just terrible,” Leiweke said to business students at Toronto's Ryerson University. "I don't care how good your numbers are if you have bad character you are doomed for failure."
I bet that's going over just wonderfully.

Habs won't name a captain until next season, they'll head into the new season with 4 ''A''s : Markov , Plekanec , Subban and Paccioretty. Markov and Plekanec are permanent A. Subban will wear the 3rd one at home , Pac during away games. After 41 games Subban and Pac will switch.
It was also said they would give a letter to Price if goaltenders were allowed such a title. He will be at the leadership meetings with the other 4 ''A''s

Can you PM me your email address, so I can add you?
Also; @downer and @LeTwig can you guys tell me your teamnames and/or/ owner names so I can remove you from the league?
I think downer already removed himself, but I still have trouble keeping track of all the forum names and team names, since they share little in common in most cases.

but hits and PIMs are like, my fantasy wheelhouse
it doesn't seem to show the full stat breakdowns for previous years but I'm pretty sure my hit differential was massive in 2013
