I'm still waiting for HITS to be a category.

I just don't like PIMs as a cat.. considering a penalty is supposed to hurt your team. It would be like having Goalie losses a cat.


EPSN has Hits as a category this year. Blocked shots too, if you're interested in that.

As far as I know, ESPN is free to use.

My keeper league is set up there right now. We're waiting for the last guys to register so that we can add all the rosters. We normally play on Yahoo, but we'll be starting the season on ESPN simultaneously to judge which one is better. So far it seems like a solid interface/system. I'm going to try to find information about additional position eligibility.

But to answer your question: No, I haven't actually used it during a running season yet.

not a bad idea using both at once.. I'm assuming you'll be using yahoo as the "official" tracker, incase there is any difference in the outcomes?

yes ESPN is free...

I did email them about the positions things (atleast give the option to the Commish to change it) and also about adding PPP to the mix.

ESPN layout >>>>>> Yahoo but maybe yahoo will bring some new stuff to the table this year as well.

peter b: Yeah, pretty much, unless ESPN blows away right from the start and we decide to ditch Yahoo. If Yahoo gives us the Hits and Blocked shots categories I don't think we'll bother with ESPN.

Narayan: Please keep us posted if you get any useful information.

I just took part in a mock draft there as well, and it's excellent.
