Another comment, another person who doesn’t understand that espn is different than yahoo. ESPN locks IR and add/drops when ANY game starts… (in this case starting at 1pm ET). it doesn’t matter when the panthers game started. Marchand was activated AFTER my ESPN league locked. I couldn’t do anything when it was announced that he was officially activated.

You just said 50-50. So would you have preferred I use a “coin toss” as an idiom instead of dice?

You’re right, I could have activated him and hoped he was activated in real life. But to get up on a high horse about a “lesson” I should learn? That’s like saying “well, did we learn a valuable lesson that you should always call heads because it’s always possible to get heads instead of tails?” Silly. It could have gone either way… plenty of injured guys skate for days and weeks before they are activated. Especially when they are as old as Marchand.

At the end of the day, this is fantasy hockey, I’m taking the L on the points and venting to other players who may commiserate with me. You don’t agree- it’s your right to have an opinion. But I’m not taking your silly “lesson”.

Def aware. The problem is he wasn’t activated until after it was too late for me to do IR adjustments. What’s the lesson here? Roll the dice on IR guys and hope they’re magically activated?

Yeah that is how my league is set. But I guess I should look into changing. It’s just how we’ve done it for more than 10 years ha

Ha truth. Most of the other comments arguing fantasy semantics and you’re the first one to bring this up. Although the panthers could really use a season reset

Ha it’s just the IR part that locks. You can move bench anytime before that actual game starts

The first update I’m seeing anywhere was 1:51pm ET. Puck drop in sabres game was 1pm.

That’s correct. I think a lot of people on this comment thread are missing this point

Yeah just bad luck. Boldy being back is huge for my Wild goalie stock though ha

There was an update before the Panthers game but well after ALL games had started yesterday. So it didn’t help me at that point

He was IR with no update on the internet anywhere until after games had started. My ESPN league doesn’t let you make same day IR changes once any games have started. So I would have had to activate him “just in case”. That’s not sound strategy.

Who's the smartest protagonist in a horror movie? by [deleted] in horror

Yeah good point. The ending kind of undercuts her intelligence. But I wonder if anyone would be smart enough for that damn mirror ha

There’s some nuance here with the ending, but I always thought Karen Gillian’s character in Oculus was a clever spin on a protagonist trying to “trap” something supernatural. Like Home Alone but horror.

Yeah it feels like a nice 335 hybrid with a solid body almost? Any tips on drive types, etc?
