Thanks for organizing cat! These fantasy pools are a great way to get into the game and learn more. I have to confess that I had some help in the New Year. My dad, who has been completely blind for the past 19 years, loves the game of hockey and follows it very closely to this day. I got him a Google Home for Christmas and now he is able to switch between all radio broadcast games using voice commands. He also has satellite radio and all the NHL stations.
I would call him up on the weekend and we would discuss the upcoming schedule for the week. It was a great way to stay connected to him and have some fun at the same time (I say this just in case you're wondering why my stats improved drastically during the second half of the league!)
See you in the playoff pool!

I knew you had a wise person advising you, great to hear too. Hope you told him that you won the regular season in our pool which was a tight race, make a bad decision one week could be your downfall....trust me I had a few bad weeks

I'm back in for the playoff round. Hope i don't suck as much as during regular season. If a guy would only remember to update the weekly roster. Should be easier as it goes round by round.
Good luck everyone!! Thanks again for setting it up 58thecat!!

Not sure if I should be giving away all my secrets, but this is a great website for the latest news on line combinations/line changes, starting goalies, injury reports and fantasy speculation. In addition to help from my dad, this website definitely helped me out in the second half of the season.

There, now I can win the playoff pool with a clean conscience!

Yep, I'm awesome until I put actual money down. Then things always seem to take a dark turn.
Good luck in the pool... if you've got the kahones to join up!

Sadly no - when I put cash down it all goes to crap! Funny thing is I meant to click on Crosby as the star forward but accidentally clicked on Guenzel instead - and he ended up having a 4 point night. Maybe I have secret powers!!

Ha! Good one!
I actually took a screen shot of my overall standing today. I'm currently tied for 12th out of 59,000+ contestants. Something tells me I'm not going to stay that high for long so may as well enjoy it while I can!

Hey guys,
Just a reminder that you can now make your picks for round 2. I think the deadline is tomorrow evening, so there is still time to phone Spidey's dad.

Just double checked. It's Friday at 8:00pm ET. Any points scored today will count tomorrow when you pick.
I just tried it on my phone and it was working fine.
