This battle of the bottom feeders is super amusing to watch. 😂🍿 Also, Dude. "Bottom feeder" is not the preferred nomenclature. 'Consolation bracket participant' please. |

Also, the longer you wait to update my IR the more emphasis you put on your jealousy of me acquiring the beast that is Brad Marchand! Although he's doing his best to be nominated for the Lady Byng at this point, which I do not appreciate, but his contributions elsewhere more than make up for it. 😎 |

Rosters not being set again impacted standing points last week…. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been rostering 18 players since December 7th and failed to set their lineup on December 8th which affected the standings. Should be 7-1 Red Wings Win. Currently 9-0 Red Wings Win. The Calgary Flames failed to set their lineup on December 5th which affected the standings. Should be 6-5 Sharks Win. Currently 7-3 Sharks Win. While forgetting once in a blue moon is somewhat understandable, we are starting to see some repeat offenders here early in the season. |

Thanks for being diligent and keeping a running tab of these instances. I have reached out and addressed the issue, so hopefully there is some improvement in the coming days. We will continue to monitor the situation and make the necessary adjustments if and when as-needed. |

I was talking about the Leafs as it's been an ongoing thing the last few weeks. Benched goalie start that would have added a win resulting in the W category being tied. Also may have impacted the GAA category. It seems like its becoming more of an issue across multiple teams as Daniel has pointed out earlier this year as well. The Leafs in particular has benched players and directly changed standing points multiple times now.

The Leafs in particular has benched players and directly changed standing points multiple times now. No GM is obligated to start their goalies every single game, so long as the are making minimum starts each week. There is a strategy in benching goalies and beyond that there are too many factors (who is starting/who isn't), last minute changes, favorable matchups vs, unfavorable matchups etc. that go into navigating goalie starts. Toronto set its lineup every day this past week and didn't miss any skater starts. All indications are that Toronto likely thought Quick (starter) was starting and Reimer (backup) wasnt and just didn't check back prior to game time. |

That's fair wasn't looking at it like that from my end since I typically set my lineups early in the day and then come back around 6 eastern to double check any possible changes. |

This is what every GM should be doing, when I said at the beginning of the season that this league contains "The Cream of the Crop" of Fantasy Hockey GMs, it entails doing simple managerial duties such as this. No it is not too much to ask...this is a A-listers only league. |

Reimer, his best performing goaltender, had a game against one of the very few teams that are actually lower in the standings than the Sharks. He most certainly should've been played in that situation, there's no strategy to making that benching. All I'm saying is it's much easier to make it look like a "I didn't know he was going to start" argument when a goalie is involved. A higher standard needs to be upheld. |

What has been inconsistent about MY actions specifically? The main thing is establishing when points will manually be taken off the standings. It happened last year when a GM didn't set his lineup for a week. The Maple Leafs are going on 5 infractions (5 days) since the season has started. I anticipated this happening before the season started and really didn't want to create a "Infractions Thread" ahead of time but maybe I should have. I guess I'd just like to know when it becomes too much and points will manually be taken off? |

Grubauer & Quick are confirmed not starting but are in the starters crease. As mentioned previously, Reimer is his best performing goaltender and is facing the Flames who are currently 22nd in the league for goals per game.
Examples like this seem suspect to me. I realize he still has time to adjust his lineup but just pointing it out as it stands currently.

Points are taken off at the end of the year once it has been determined that the infractions affect the order of the standings in a way that alters the position of the teams in question just like last season. For example, if Washington is in last place and remains there, it is a moot point how many infractions Toronto has (standings wise) so long as it does not impact the number 10 team. |

Not about making decisions for them. Which is it? |

Points were taken off mid-season, not at the end of the year. March 7th, 2022. Week 19. Week 19 3g, 6a, -3, 23 PIM, 2 PPP, 0 SHP, 1 GWG, 33 SOG +4 points Kraken -4 points Capitals In the spirit of fair play, please be advised that the following stat corrections will be applied manually to the Washington Capitals/Seattle Kraken week 19 matchup and will be reflected in the final season standings/playoff seeding should they be impacted. 6 categories were not impacted, 2 categories were and have been bolded above. |

The fact doesn't even matter that you pulled two different sentiments from two different conversations (one is in regards to tanking, the other is in regards to trades.). The point is, which will become much more clear to you at the end of this week, that he will fail to make goalie starts (ie. Tanking by making that Reimer benching). |
