NHL Fantasy League - The Draft

And that stat, by itself, would mean something, dejon. It would mean that in hockey games, you have to score early, because coming back from behind is very hard and with Turco in Michigan, it's impossible.

I have to disagree with the bold. Numbers can paint any picture you want, especially in isolation. If we gathered the same stat for other goalies we would then see if it is practically the same for everyone, the same for any defensive team, or the same for all Michagan goalies because that state is almost Canadian it's so hockey-mad.

No one is saying that Turco isn't a steller goalie - I very nearly picked him myself.

If it was the same for everyone else, then that'd indicate in the sport of hockey as a whole, comebacks in the 3rd period are impossible. I think the 0 in the loss column for leading in the 3rd period is very significant by itself in showing the possibility of coming back on him in that same situation. After all it's a sample size of 105, which is fairly decent.

Ok, the wacky Christian is up .

Why? Scarce resources. I'm shocked at how many are taking position players.

[KrazyHorse]

I'm shocked at people taking centers

I figured I might as well grab Iginla, then take the leavings on goalies

[Hot Mustard]

I'm with Imran on this one. Looks like many are willing to concede the 3 G stats to a select few who'll be able to pick up a second quality starter at this rate.

[joncha]

Given how the goalies drop off after the first few, and the fact that I get another pick soon, Thornton was a bit of a no-brainer.
