Fantasy Hockey aka: Time to humiliate 4th Hanson Bro

[Garak]

So are we going to do a fantasy hockey pool this year?

I'd like to, an I'd also like to invite everyone from seasoned pros to green rookies to participate.

Any takers? Once we get enough, I'll be more than happy to start a league.

I hear Ovechkin is pretty good. Might take him.

I'm up for some more fantasy hockey.

Trolling, in the very thread title.

If I knew where the infraction button was, you'd be in trouble, you canuck

Count me in, eh. May be the only hockey I play this season. Hoping for good news from the doc in 2 weeks.

 

[Snow]

Of course I'll be back.

 

[DBR]

I'm in.

Though I can't guarantee you all that you won't lose (...I think that's what I mean... only on my second cup of coffee here.)

 

[TheBrew]

Never done this before, but sure. Though I will probably be picking players from mostly the Rangers and the Coyotes since they are my two main teams... and I am a bit clueless outside of them (which isn't much better).

 

[Rygel XIX]

I'm definately in - Of course I have to defend my title from last year.
Let's do it again through Yahoo...

Sorry to hear that you might be on the shelf, now I kiiiiiind of feel bad.

So same format as last year? 2 c, 2lw, 2rw, 5 d, 2 g and how many bench players were there?

haven't skated since March, I may not even know how to put my gear on at this point

sounds good to me

 

[Snow]

If I remember, we had a lot of bench players. 4?
Make sure we have lots (or as many as we can allow for) IR. I've looked over some leagues on Yahoo and they have only one IR position. Not enough, IMHO.

I also prefer a lot of scoring and goalie stats. Makes it more competitive.

Best wishes with the doctor, bro.

Here's a cut and paste of the settings that we had last year:

Roster Positions:C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, D, Util, Util, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR, IR, IR, IR Stat Categories:G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, SH%, FW, W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

This worked pretty well

 

[Snow]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Rygel XIX]

Who's team was Solo Deuce last year? You were the commish last year. Are you able to set it up again? This way, Yahoo will show us last years results too as the league history. If you're too busy to get it up and running, I could take over and set it up. Just let me know - anything is fine...

Yeah that looks great.

Yeah, if the commish from last year wants to set it up then giver - I just started this thread coz preseason was starting and we hadn't had one yet.

 

[DBR]

Similitude (sp?) was the commish last year, IIRC.

 

[Rygel XIX]

I just checked, and the last time Similitude actually posted here at the BBS was July. So, it doesn't look like they'll be around to be able to get this going. I've taken the initiative to set it up then - same settings as last year. The draft has been set for Oct 3 at 9pm (the Friday night before the season starts). If this isn't good for people, then we can change it through the league comments section. I have sent an invite to some of you from last year. For others interested, see below:

Team Fostoria has accepted the challenge for yet another year.

Where are my manners?
Thanks Rygel for taking this on.
Hockey season wouldn't be the same without the fantasy league.

 

[Garak]

Awesome, I'm in!

 

[Starbreaker]

I'm going to try and follow hockey this year since I have XM. I'll join in.

 

[Mallory]

I'm tempted solely for the opportunity to mock bro.
