LTL Update

  If you’ve been frequenting our site you’ve probably noticed some changes. The unfortunate one has been our lack of content over the past week and a half. Dustin’s move to Michigan over this past week left him incredibly stressed for time, and myself freeing up as much to spend some time with my good friend before he departed Florida.



  We made the most of the 22.5 hour straight drive by making it in time for the Red Wings home game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday night, my first experience at the Joe, and had a blast there.

  Though we’re incredibly behind in terms of news and content, we should be back full operational by next week, starting with a few more notable pieces of news that we haven’t covered. For a full list of news related by-date happenings over the past couple of weeks, we strongly suggest you visit FantasyHockey.com.

  We do have positive changes in place! If you’re new, welcome, we hope you enjoy what we’ve got going and hope you keep coming back for more!

  A few changes have come since our last update post, and we just wanted to clarify where we’re at and what you can expect from us in the near future.

ESPN Scoreboard Widget

  On the right hand side we’ve added the ESPN Scoreboard Widget. This streams live game scores, and upon clicking a game, you will be redirected to espn.go.com where you can view a full game Recap, Box Score, Play-by-Play, Photos, and Conversation. ESPN’s full-time staff has the ability to do all of the things we want to do, but the best we can do here is be a portal to a user friendly, information-filled network. *This feature is regrettably not yet available for our mobile version.

Features

  We will be posting our Top Performers of the Week on a weekly basis. We will view the week in whole, and select the top performers and list their respective accomplishments. This information can be valued greatly for fantasy picks! Over the past two weeks this feature has been missing, but will for sure be back at the latest by next Sunday.

LTL Game Coverage

  Through the first handful of days in the regular season we offered our own scoreboards with links to NHL.com for stats, including our own game-by-game analysis. This is something we desperately want to provide, but our time limitations make this an impossible feat. In order for us to keep up with news and original articles, we have collectively decided to stop this feature at the moment, but have high hopes it will make a return to the site. NHL.com, TSN.ca, and ESPN.com do a great job with this and we encourage you to visit these sites for game-by-game coverage.

LTL Team Previews

  Unfortunately, the Team Previews section is being all but scrapped. Our ambitions were a bit higher than our capabilities as we started this site at the tail end of August, incredibly close to the start of the NHL season. Our goal was to tackle this team-by-team alphabetically, and the two of us meet in the middle before the start of the year. We have failed to meet this loft goal, but encourage user feedback in regards to a team you want to know about. We will be changing our team-by-team details from previews to analysis, but we don’t have any kind of a time frame at the moment.

New Look

  The site hasn’t changed much, but we realized that for some, the site was taking too long to load. We’ve changed the layout slightly to provide a quicker load time, but if you’re still having issues please contact us via Support.

Get Involved

  Dustin and I have been overly busy lately. Countless hours have been poured into what we’re doing, and while our hit count is respectable, the response we’ve received has been a bit of a disappointment. We won’t give up, we want to provide you with as much as we can, but we hope that you will get involved. We want to hear your opinions, please let your voice be known. Whether you agree totally or you think we’re completely wrong, it’s your activeness and interest that keeps us inspired.

  Sharing links can through social networking devices such as Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr is the biggest support you can offer us.

  Once again we apologize for the inactivity of late, but we are determined to get right back in the action and talk more hockey.
