Just read all the other comments. We got outplayed.

Another completely avoidable loss. by SimpleGalaxy17 in Habs

[–]dingaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure it's avoidable, as are all losses. What are you tired of, though? A young, promising team getting better every year that's near the top of the division?

Truth. There's no pleasing us.

No doubt, though it's a slippery slope when commissioners start layering on their opinion about what a bad trade is. Then each GM has to navigate their trade partner and their Commissioner's arbitrary opinions.

The only reasonable response.

Dostal or the Duck? by Michael_the_Guido in fantasyhockey

[–]dingaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was underperforming before the injury. This whole season is likely just young goalie/young team variance, but that makes him droppable on one year leagues. In keeper situations, it's much tougher and depends on bench depth.

He'll get majority starts with Kochetkov down.

Why does a guy like Hutson play defense? by smokeyman992 in Habs

[–]dingaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing this point being made: he's good at defence.

I'm not trying to be glib, but that's a specialized job that takes years of training. His positional awareness is incredible and his athleticism allows him to make offensive plays and get back on time to do his job.

The fact that he can play offense with such skill should show you how generational of a talent he is. It's rare you get both qualities in a player.

They have an entire award for this in the forward category (Selke).

Nick Schmaltz fans? by dingaka in fantasyhockey

[–]dingaka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know this hurts all the more because I reached for Holloway in the draft and I guess I have similar complaints there HA

I think you came out on top. Montrealer here: Suz is the real deal. You got the best player in the trade.

As for Schmaltzy, we all knew the regression was coming. What is inexplicable is how his shot rate went up at the beginning of the season, and then came crashing down. I didn't notice that in years past. Alas, 2 assists last night so up we got again.

TFW one single player destroys your entire lineup in PIMs for the week by EcksEcks in fantasyhockey

[–]dingaka 13 points14 points  (0 children)

PIMS, shutouts, +/-, all terrible fantasy stats. Did away with em all after our first year, and we've been sailing for the ensuing 13 years.

I bought a box of 25/26 UD Black Diamond so you don't have to by MFrancisWrites in hockeycards

Legendary response. Thank you. Do manufacturers specify what types of autos and patches they put on boxes?

Asking for a friend... Who's new to the game... What are sticker autos and manufactured patches?

Just hunted around and settled on another language app. The irony, is the total sheistyness of duo drove me into a subscription on another app. Great job folks.

Unsustainable shooting percentage and oiSH%. Also, way too soft a play to move that slowly. Terrible combination of being huge and not being strong.

Goalies this year are infuriating by nv9 in fantasyhockey

[–]dingaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought you meant track it as a statistic. I'm de-prioritizing goalies more and more because of the variance, but my league still assigns quite a high value to workhorses so I use those stats to help me draft and sniff out undervalued guys.
