[daddiefatsacks]

signed up, ready to roll

[bankholdup]

This is my first time doing a fantasy league game of any kind, so if I suck or give up, don't be upset with me. I'll try anything once...except bungy-jumping.

[bob]

I'm in...and if you played B-ball or baseball with me, don't worry...I take hockey seriously.

[The Delfonics]

I think I won the last NHL fantsay leauge on Joblo, but thats only cause someone disbanned their team to waivers and I was first to jump on it.

[chasingbanky]

I'm there friends..... errrr Enemies.

[horrorfreak13]

I'm in as I try to win this time. I came this fucking close to winning the last one by 1 point.

[Haddonfield]

Im in.

:)

[outsyder]

Anyone else?

TorontoRon, I know you're out there.

Haha...

Alright, since I've been called out like that, I guess I can't back down.


I'm in.

[outsyder]

So I'm still trying to do a live draft, or at least an offline one. A couple people are on board. Anyone else?


Or should we just hit Autodraft and see what happens from there?

[brodeurnumber1]

I'd say Offline or Live, auto is no fun. Offline would be good on say late Saturday night or something.

[horrorfreak13]

I'm alright with a live draft this weekend I don't work Saturday so I could do it then.

[ToRontoRon]

Yeah, I'd vote for live, but we'd have to pick a day well in advance so everyone knows. Saturday at around 10PM EST would sound about right to me. Maybe about 2-3 Saturday's from now.


Whichever date is picked, it shouldn't be a last minute thing. We should know for a while.


I suggest you just pick a day and time outsyder, if most people respond saying they want a live one.

[outsyder]

Ok. How does Saturday, September 17th sound, at around 3:00 PM EST?

That gives us a week.

[ToRontoRon]

I'm in too.

[brodeurnumber1]

Let's see........

No life plus Saturday during College Football= me still being there.

[horrorfreak13]

I can make that

[daddiefatsacks]

could we make it earlier? i work at 330 pm est

maybe 130-2?

[outsyder]

Ok, I guess we could change it to 1:30.

How's everyone with that?

[outsyder]

Ok, I just did a live draft tonight for another league. It's a good format. It has all the player listed. You can easily sort through all positions, Yahoo Ranking, Alphabetical Rankings, and your pre-draft rankings.

My league has 21 player teams, and it took us 50 minutes to complete for 10 teams. So ours should be less.


If you are not going to be there or are worried you won't be, set a pre-draft ranking system, or you'll just have your players picked by the Yahoo system automatically.

[ToRontoRon]

Yup, 1:30 works for me.

But that pre-draft ranking system sounds like a good back up. I'll definately use that as a backup in case I can't make it for whatever reason.

[outsyder]

Draft is tomorrow at 1:30 PM EST. See you all there hopefully.

[brodeurnumber1]

Alooooooone in here alooooooooone.

[outsyder]

I added a UTIL spot, to stop Brodeur from bitching. But after drafting Anson Carter, I can see why he wanted it.;)


Be sure and pick someone up.

The UTIL spot allows any player in any position to be played and counted for stats. It's a universal starter spot.

[ToRontoRon]

Behold, the championship lineup:

Centres
Lecavlier
Crosby

Left Wingers
Frolov
Zetterberg

Right Wingers
Palffy
Zherdev

Defence
Zidlicky
Aucoin
Rafalski
Kaberle

Goalies
Luongo
Kiprusoff

Bench
C-Lindros
D-M.A. Bergeron
LW-Rucinsky
G-Lehtonen


My team's strength is definately between the pipes. IMO, I have 2 of the 3 best goalies available.

Well, gl everyone. It should be fun.

I still have two of the young Sharks RW's. I'm good. And Satan. And of course, fatass for my LW's.

[outsyder]

My Team:

Center
Peter Forsberg (Not my choice, but he can kick ass if he stays healthy)
Jason Spezza
Marc Savard (2nd last year in PointsPerGame? Oh hell yeah!)

Left Wing
Simon Gangne (Hat trick tonight people, watch out. Especially if he's playing with Forsberg)
Sergei Samsonov
Eric Daze (Black ace right now, but could pay off big with a better supporting cast in Chicago)

Right Wing
Marian Hossa (Once again, not my choice, but he's still a solid pick)
Dany Heatley (If the kid can do it, I'll have the best RW in the pool)
Trent Hunter (55 points as a rookie and plays with an edge. I hope improves upon a good season)
Val Bure (I might pick up someone else, but he still puts up the points)

Defence
Scott Niedermayer
Kimmo Timonen (should be better under improving NSH team)
Adam Foote (meh)
Alexei Zhitnik (High PM and decent points)

Goaltenders
Dominik Hasek (Gets into form later in the season, but should be worth it)
Robert Esche (Underrated goalie caps off 1-2 Eastern conference powerhouse team goalies)
Ty Conklin (Edmonton is a better team, Conklin should be decent)

Prepare for destruction, infidels.

[leafboy]

Damn, I wish I would have gotten in this one. I'd own everyone.

Why? Would you pick all the leaf players?

[chasingbanky]

Almost forgot about this bad boy... Sykie acquired... Draft automated... Bring it.

Edit: I can't figure out what the N/A next to a player means... Anyone care to help a brotha out?

N/A means "Not Applicable." This player is not currently signed or going to play. If a player is injured however, the letters IR appear next to it.

Unless you think they will be signed, don't pick up N/A players.

[ToRontoRon]

So, I'm new to the Fantasy thing. Do you have to edit your lineup each night by adding/dropping players for that specific night in order to get your bench players to play on night's your regulars aren't?

Yes, but you can plan your entire season by selecting the day you want, and then changing the player positions.

[Haddonfield]

One game down and Im already doing better than all of last year.

It wont last long.

:)

[outsyder]

Score. I snagged Ovechkin.:D

[horrorfreak13]

Fucking Lalime. Gets pulled after allowing 4 goals and I missed a shutout by 10 minutes thanks to Phoenix.

At least Prospal, Ryder and McCabe did well for me.

[brodeurnumber1]

Anyone else find funny how many moves I made in a ten minue span? Good times. Sure isn't fun though when two of my big scoring threats are on IR.

Yeah, now you know how I used to feel.:)

True and tonight he gets a chance to rebound and he allows 4 goals again. :mad:

On the posititve side Ryder got me 2 goals including the game winner again. Thank god I fucking drafted him.

[ToRontoRon]

And to think some of you questioned my decision to take Luongo with my 1st round pick. :D

So what? I have 11 points tonight so far.:rolleyes:







:(

[chasingbanky]

After missing the draft I've finally got my team customized to my liking... Stevie Y was out there, hmm.

[ToRontoRon]

Wow.

Great start outsyder.

Alone in 1st in 6 of 13 categories.
Tied for 1st in another.
Alone in 2nd in 3 more.
3rd in one, 5th in one, and 6th in one.




Give someone else a chance!!! ;)

Knowing me, it won't last.;)

[brodeurnumber1]

Let's see:

My second round pick is out fort 4-6 weeks, my third round pick is overweight and has a groin injury, my 5th round pick was a total waste, Jose Theodore wins games but doesn't have a save percentage, I have 4 goalies on my roster because I'm THAT desperate. How am I NOT in last place.

[outsyder]

Because that's reserved for the New Jersey Devils.;)

[ToRontoRon]

Say, does anyone happen to know off hand why I got rid of Rucinsky?

D'oh!


He was doing okay even before I dropped him, but he's taken off ever since. I'm last in PIM and figure I needed a tough guy, so I took the guy with the 2nd most PIM's last year in Simon. He better start dropping the gloves soon, that move I made is starting to look like Courtnall for Kordic. I could have dropped Zherdev, who's underachieving for me, and picked up some goon right winger, but I figure he'll explode once Nash comes back.


Anyways, just wanted to post about what a dumbass I am.

[ToRontoRon]

I guess now would be a good time for me to trade Palffy from my team. *sigh*, just one of several underachievers for me this year. Seriously, how can Jacques Martin not install a system for Florida to prevent them from facing 55 shots a game? I took Luongo in Round 1 based on the assumption that Martin could coach defence... I guess he can't. With Ottawa's emergence this year and Florida doing nothing, it's clear that Martin sucks as coach. He just kept his team back, I guess. (In particular #19).

Oh well, the only drama left now is to see if outsyder can get a perfect score of 130. We CAN NOT let that happen people.

Congrats for winning the pool, outsyder. I know it's only a little over half way through the year, but whos kidding who. It's over. (Wish I knew Ovechkin was being made available after the season had started. ;)) Oh well, wouldn't have made a difference.

Time for me to focus on 2nd. You're going down Fantasmo.

[outsyder]

Too bad for JM. I really thought he'd be able to help the Panthers, and if Luongo leaves, next year won't be very pretty for them.

If it makes you feel any better, I have Palffy in another pool. In that pool, I also had Daniel Briere, so you can imagine my crises.

[outsyder]

Well, looks like I won, but it's a lot closer than it used to be.

Can I interest anyone in a Sportsnet playoff pool?
