i'll try to rekindle with this:
do you guys play in a draft league or
one where you bring your whole team?
ours is a draft league (w/ a few 'protects' allowed) and while i enjoy playing with a lot of different guys, there is a learning curve to start every season of trying to get some chemistry going.
a buddy of mine in NY has played with the same team for like 8 years! they're able to play full-on systems. we're lucky to get a decent breakout implemented by season's end.....

I really hate winning this way but the team we are playing tonight had two players from another team in our league the last time we played them. I have no problem with that in a regular season game because people need players at times. It's now a round 1 matchup against these guys and was wondering if this is the right thing to do or not?

we're not allowed any subs during the playoffs in our league except for goalies. if you have seven skaters show up, then you skate with seven.

So we are given a time slot to show up to and play. The lower team in the standings gets to pick their goalie first. I sort of like playing for each team a few times each year, but it's still a bit weird.

goalies pay half-price in our league which helps bring guys out of the woodwork. we've never had a goalie shortage.

Went to double check the schedule for this weekend and found out people have been complaining about how competitive or lack of there has been in the games lately.

To now they are trying to restructure the entire thing and restart the spring season on Sunday.
The only way I can see making a somewhat competitive league is to do a draft every season/year and thats your team for the season/year. Right now there are 2 good teams because they are teams that have been together for 10 years, plus some pretty talented guys.

Sounds like the same problem we had in our league for years. Same core players on one team, save for one or two add-on players that were usually alternates. Anytime they suggested a draft league, this team and one other (similar situation with core, but not as good and had more people rotating on the roster) threw a fit and threatened to pull out of the league. They even tried to compromise and say that they could do a protected list of players. I forget the exact number but it was where they would protect half the roster, do several rounds of drafts, and any undrafted players would be returned to their team.
So glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore. My bigger problem is now having to find a team in a different city.
