oh I see the boys are like 'F the old man' and 3 teams have emptied their lineups in direct spite, seeing Edmonton actually do BETTER without a lineup.
Yep...workin' jus fine.

Montreal, Edmonton and Alaska haven't set line-ups all season, no spite in their cases. Edmonton's unlikely success is what drew my attention in the first place

If you guys think it’s a huge advantage stop setting a lineup. Everyone is trying to win. I personally don’t think the perceived successes are statistically relevant enough to stop setting lineup but if others do then you should do whatever you think will help you win.

the correction code is working perfectly ! lol Just to be clear, there wasn't any change to the code. The only change was the weight associated with playing a guy out of position. |

And to piggyback off Dane, I'd also like to be clear. I am not arguing that teams should be made to set line-ups. I brought this up because I noticed that it seems to be a benefit to the teams who are not setting their lines and I find that intriguing because the reverse should be true. I would think the lack of hockey sense associated with multiple players being out of position would be a detriment to these teams but I look at it as the franchise's giving their coaches full authority over on ice personnel, even though their decisions are questionable from a hockey standpoint. The goal is to win, and they are winning, so why would they change anything? Alaska isn't going to fire their coach for playing OV at center when they have a 13-1 record.

In fairness trannys and non-trannys alike would be better served by setting their lines. We don't discriminate in the G though. Live and let live I say. |

Funny enough I've played one game with auto lines this year, it was vs Alaska and it's their only loss. Rantanen and Kessel at center, Getzlaf on the wing. Doesn't make much sense.

Toronto also set lines and beat Halifax, I just think we might be drawing conclusions a bit prematurely.
Montreal has played 5 games against teams better than .500 - Their record is 2-2-1
Edmonton has only played 3 games against teams better than .500 - Their record is 2-1-0
Alaska is just a really good team
I think these teams hot start may be due more in part to their cupcake schedule than not setting lines

I concur with Dane. I'd also say the teams around the GHL this season aren't really that good, with exception of a few teams. Big drop off from the top teams, to the next tier. The bottom feeders are closer to the next tier of teams, than the 2nd tier is to the Top teams.

Since Edmonton doesnt set a line up, I followed suit against them tonight.
And destroyed them.
