Ready for some NHL playoff fantasy fun? This brand of dense competition boasts its own charm in combining a compact calendar, simpler scoring system, drama of losing players every round, and a set-it-and-forget-it approach that should appeal to you more low-maintenance types.
One burst of lineup-building effort and you're done. Except for the churn of emotional labor by way of riding an inevitably volatile rollercoaster that doesn't cease to offer new twists and turns with each fresh round.
Except for that. So strap in. Again, this is fresh fantasy territory where the quantity of games played often matters as much as individual performance.
