Very important question about Yahoo sports: in the web browser, is there any way to change the color scheme to the darker version they had last year? all the white in the new scheme is burning my eyes

I think they've eliminated the option to change, because I can't seem to find it.

The dark version was awful!

the first week of the season is always my favorite. some people get really smug about their waiver pickups, scrubs, and rookies, others are already panicking. its fun.

You basically have to be omnipotent to make a choice that will hold up over the entire season. Makes for fun gambling.

The real question is whether you give up on someone too early...

Speaking of early season pickups, I'm surprised no one's gone for Lindberg yet in HHL...

I think the league size and roster size in HHL makes it a bit early to take a chance on a guy like Lindberg. He's hot right now and may even end up being a good keeper, but you're probably dropping an established player to take him and that could really screw you over if Lindberg doesn't work out.

On the other hand, I chose not to drop Eakin last year for Forsberg, and that turned out to be the second-worst move I made all year (the first was keeping Perron over Schwartz).

The key is to have a slot open to pick up random dudes every other day because your top center (who you waited to spend a ton of money on) is injured, and you didn't know.

I'm currently losing to an autodrafter in HHL because he auto-drafted Mike Smith and because my players are all gentlemen who don't hit or take penalties.

It's early for trades but I think I have too much GRIT (hits/blocks) and not enough scoring. I would be willing to sacrifice some GRIT for the right price.

Why does Yahoo have Boone Jenner listed as a C? Hasn't he always been a LW or something? drat it, Yahoo, stop messing with my center spots, that's my job.

I accidentally benched Reto loving Berra in the LSL, and he got a 35 save shutout.

Pretty sure I'd be winning 11-1 this week if not for that.

I also decided to bench Cam Ward in HHL yesterday because he's Cam loving Ward and I already had a shutout from Jaroslav Halak.

Depends on settings. How much are goalies weighted? Right now in a league that favours goalies I'd be pretty reticent to move Jones.

Because no matter how well Montreal is doing right now, Holtbty and Bishop is better than Price and Dubnyk.

I probably could have figured out a way to fit price in with a combination of Holtby or more likely Bishop (my duo last year). I agree that the total wins will be better, but if Price gets shutout after shutout, that's where all the gravy is

I guess the reason I'm pissed is because I now implicitly have to cheer against my own team and can't even be happy about the winning streak (unless Condon plays). I should have realized that when I was making my decision

The season is young. (but I don't remember you presenting that as an option. You shoulda done that yeah)

Holtby / Price is an insane goalie combo. Bishop / Price is pretty good too.

Alright I need some fantasy advice. Too many LWs, all scoring categories, should I drop Ladd or Kreider? I'm leaning towards keeping Kreider solely based on that NYR are in an easier division, but Ladd is top PP pairing so I'm conflicted.

I would probably do this deal, but it would depend on who my other goalies are.

These guys are too valuable to drop, unless you're in a 4-team league.

Oh yeah, I'd do that deal. You should be able to hit your weekly starts with Niemi and Mrazek sharing the time (I assume they are sharing time. I haven't checked).
