Heck, start a month late if you want. I don't see a great advantage to waiting a day since players will still be figuring out what's going on in any case - sure you can pick up some quick money, but you're in a points hole and the guys you drafted more than likely had one hot game that won't be repeated and will require a quick sell to get the profits.

Of course, I've been wrong before.

Well, this is just getting ridiculous...

#1 division by 2266 TSNP over 2nd and 4534 TSNP over 3rd
10th in the division in points = 184th overall in points
10th in the division in TSND = 90th overall in TSND
20th in the division in points = 527th overall in points
20th in the division in TSND = 254th overall in TSND

What's scary is that I think the numbers a month from now will make these look bad by comparison. Nice job folks!

I really enjoy the competitive nature within the division and it sure emphasizes how badly I missed hockey last year. What a void.

I'm struggling at the moment but hope to improve so that I can step into the 10th spot when needed. :)

Damn it's hard to move up in this division-you managers are just too good. Move up 4 positions fall down 3, move up 2 fall down 4. Rinse and repeat...

Every team but one in our division was over 300 points tonight, Samuli definitely leading the way (approaching 700). Only two or three teams from the competition exceeded 300.

At the break, 7 teams in the top 50 for TSNP, 7 teams in the top 60 for TSND as well.

Because he went on a team vacation at the same time when a lot of the other guys who were near the top had similar (top 15 RV) and (top 50 WWR). He didn't use trades for a couple of weeks, and although he lost out on some RV, he didn't lose out too much on points because he had some solid guys I guess. Now he has a bunch of trades and the 8-10 mil he lost doesn't really matter this year so he will be a big factor.

Due to a family-emergency I will be largely unable to keep an eye on my boys up until 14th of march, will leave to Central Jawa tomorrow where the internet cafes are few and far between and usually painfully slow. Hence, let's have a show of hands, would anyone volunteer to team-sit my roster for a couple of weeks? I'll make a list of obvious trades to carry out, so the actual task would be to deal with the injuries. Drop me an email if you're willing to help me out. Thanks in advance.

Samuli should be back tomorrow, his team has done well in his absense, moving ahead of SW today into 14th, unbelievable. Maybe it really is best to just hold in the absense of injuries.

As a division we are up to 9 teams in the top 60, 4 more in the top 100, and another 4 in the top 200. Goaldiggers back to #1 in both TSNP and RV, a great year.

Seriously, I left for a week, my team held steady and gained some trades back.....then I came back and screwed it up again.

It's just really tough to get any movement because RV is absoultely no factor. The same thing happened in baseball this past year as my RV was not a factor down the stretch and I couldn't make up the last couple of places once I fell behind. But I don't know, going for the RV by making the trades that most make sense is just the way I know how to play.

samuli has a really good shot at making up that ground with that many trades if he can get lucky....

I don't know which is more amazing:

- samuli's team continuing to excel while he's away
- ESDNHL being nearly 13K points ahead of second
- 9(!) of the top 10 in RV being in this division

Wow. Just wow.

I wish that I had gone away. Then I wouldn't have traded Heatley for Gagne on Saturday.

Err, screwup in post 100 - 9 of the top 10 in RV are Gurupies, not ESDNHLers. 5 in the top 25 and 8 in the top 50 for us is still pretty impressive.

Goaldiggers takes back the top spot with authority. Fantastic. Looks like I finally found the turbo button as well. :)

When the dust settles The Dynasty is the best in the division tonight. I fall back to 10th in the division, 68 WWR as close as I can tell.

Does anybody find it absolutely insane that samuli is sitting up there in the top 10 (well, until tonights totals update) with 23 (soon to be 28) trades? It just looks a bit funny up there on the leaderboard.


Nice run Beezer, you can draft behind me. :D

Way to go ESDNHL, from a vet who did not join you guys this year, but watched from afar, with awe. Well done.

Good job to everyone, I look forward to starting the ESDNHL again next fall. I'm not exactly sure how many years we've won the top league, but it's a few.

It was unfortunate that we lost Samuli, I hope he is well, I don't think he has been heard from since he left on his trip.

Enjoy the playoffs, they will likely be short for my Oilers but better than nothing.

Congrats to Kartigen Capitals and everyone else in the division, especially those who played to the end.

I had a lot of fun this year. This division is really tough. I got off to a bad start and tried to differentiate to make up the difference, but it didn't work out. My ESDNHL team still finished 196 overall, but did not make the top 10 in the division.

The good news is that I had three other teams in the top 100 and one that finshed 22nd overall. I will also be sending a donation to Guru for the upkeep on the site.
