4 Nations Face-Off tournament halts fantasy
February 20th is the 4 NFOT championship game and after one day of rest the NHL resumes play with 14 games Saturday the 22nd, which affords an opportunity during this break to assess the fantasy hockey progress.
The current weekly matchups on pause finish this week with two more days of games Saturday and Sunday before playing the last three weeks of the current FHL season.
My roster changes weekly while I utilize the waiver wire and watch list as a personal farm club to rotate bottom half players in and out according to their recent contributions in point production.
Additionally, I have elected not to play goaltenders this entire FHL season to avoid subtracting points in weekly matchups.
FHL managers realize that netminders are a high-risk, high-reward player and should be cautiously placed on and off the bench, noting that goalies take an active roster spot even if they are not starting the game.
With a 42-point lead over my opponent it is unlikely that I will lose this weekly matchup, but nothing is 100% although this large of a comeback/collapse is near impossible.
At this point in the FHL most leagues have their top four teams set, I have clinched a playoff seeding and my current league has a four or five team spread vying for the last three playoff seedings.
All four tournament teams are playing today beginning at one o’clock this afternoon EST with Sweden and Finland followed by Canada and the United States of America.

It seems to me that your league is active and competitive, compared to my own .
We have some overlap: Nylander, Marner, Thompson, Rakell, and Cirelli.
I chose to go with goaltenders this season and I may regret it (Stolartz, ).

Yes, my league has some good teams competing this season.
Wow, the same five players on both of our fantasy teams, neat.
As far as goaltenders in fantasy are concerned, I prefer to play without them.
