Thanks for the heads up.  Had it in the alphabet list just forgot to add it to the round list.


Painfully tedious process.

Hey pitt, I know it's a long weekend for many of us... are we drafting tomorrow?  On the weekend?

Yeah, I'm ucked-fay this whole weekend.  I'll probably have to log on at night after everyone's in bed to make up blown picks each day.

I'm in favor of keepin' going, but then, I'm pretty much always online.

I'm going to try to push through tomorrow as scheduled.  We will then go back to our "no skipping" weekend rules.

Anyone who misses their time tomorrow has a couple of options.  You can try to make it up some time during the weekend (bear in mind you MIGHT be holding up the rest of the league until Monday).  Or you can put together a wish list of sorts (full-on proxy list of names in order of preference) or general directions (Give me the highest salaried forward, or best D rating D-man available or whatever goalie has the most games played when my turn comes up, etc) and sitemail them to me.

You can also email me if that's something you can do more quickly or from your phone or what have you.  [email protected]

Just time for an observation. 

I know some of you just went through that 2010-11 league snake draft as I did.

Looking at the stats from this 92-93 season that players put up - not so much the points and goals, but the shooting percentages, the PIMs especially for D-men - doesn't it look like friggin' science fiction?

Sho was a different game.

My inspiration for this league came from finding my old 1994 NHL Yearbook, which reviewed the entire 92-93 season and previewed 93-94.  I was partial to this season to begin with mostly because my Penguins were at their best (despite getting upset in the playoffs).  But as I looked through the league leaders, I definitely noticed the science fiction.  And the difference in goalie equpment size. 

2010-2011 had 29 players score 30 or more goals, 5 of whom reached 40 or more and only Perry scored 50.

In 92-93, 67 players scored 30 or more, 25 of whom reached 40+, 14 scored 50+, 3 had 60+ and Mogilny and Selanne each scored 76.

True, that was the year they played 84 games, so points and PIMS all were relatively slightly inflated, but still.........

Also, so many players that seem like big names/notable players (if not stars) compared to today.  Not sure if that's a result of having too many teams now or just my age now vs then or what.
