I'm going to play fantasy hockey again this year. I'll play regardless of who I play with. But I'm wondering if any of the forum members would be interested in joining a private league.

I'll manage it.
Live Draft - Probably a Sunday night.
Points for goals, assists, GWG, PPP, SHG, and goalie stats.
No points for penalty minutes (this is just stupid)

Anyone interested if I get it going?

Never played fantasy hockey. But count me in for sure.:nod:

Darth Tater says I'll join too.

sure, sounds fun...

The season doesn't kick off until early October, so I'll probably wait a month or so to set it up.

I just want to see what kind of respose it gets from everyone interested.

Thanks for the feedback.

GO HABS!

I'm in!

I had a feeling you'd be in Jammer.

Call me psychic...

There was just something...

Oh yeah, it must have been your signature.

Allright I'm in. Can I call my team The Chiefs?

You mean thats a hockey logo? I just thought it looked cool. :noidea:

:laugh:

I'm in.

Wow, no one liked my Slapshot reference? I'm hurt. Everything I know about hockey (absolutely nothing) I learned from this movie. It's truly a classic. Plus, I think it really helped me to truly understand our neighbors to the North. Or South, if your in Detroit.

I liked it. :)

I liked it too. But i didn't want to comment on it when I saw all those bloody guys. It reminded me of your basketball team. :crutch::crutch::crutch:

I forgot to mention, not that it matters much, it'll be on Yahoo.

ok, I signed up. :nod:

I PM'd everyone who's shown interest in this thread the vital info.

If you are interested, let me know.

question: Do you want us to "create a team" now (the button on yahoo) or wait?

Go ahead and create your team.

That way I can see if we'll need to actively recruit teams or not. I don't mind if we don't have 10 teams, but we do need an even number of teams to have a live draft.

Hey Linwood, Slippy and Roscoe:

Get your teams in! You guys chickening out already?

Thanks for the reminder. Been a little busy... :frusty:

Registered. Supes, maybe Woody and/or BillLaimbeer would like to play as well.

I forgot to ask, don't remember. Is it weekly lineups or daily?

Thanks!

Thanks!

It's like basketball. Which I guess I would call daily. I always do mine once a week, but it takes about 15 minutes or so.

The scoring is head to head for the week. So, like Jammertime vs Microwave Sandwiches for the week, like basketball too.

Ok. I'm in a baseball league and your lineup has to be set Monday. I actually like it because it's more hands off, but more than once this season I have been caught with my pants down, forgetting to make lineup changes Sunday night.

Since I am only playing Fantasy Hockey, everyday should be fine.

You are actually allowed to edit your line-ups until the puck drops on the game that the player is playing in.

But like I said, I usually just set my line-ups once a week. And check in once in a while to make sure no one is injured or suspended or whatnot.

Actually, if I have the time, it's not unusual for me to set my line-ups for a 2 weeks in advance, and just double check to and tinker with them here and there.

Come on people. :director:
5 have signed up so far. We need a few more.:horn:
Don't lose your spot.

I'm a Wings fan, but know VERY little about players on other teams. No matter... it's an auto draft. The computer will pick for you. Learn as you go.

It's fun!!! :smash:...err...wrong icon.

It's challenging...:frusty: errr...wrong icon.

It's relaxing...:faint2:errr...wrong icon.

It's good for your self esteem:doh:...errr...wrong icon.

You'll make lots of friends...:fencing:err...wrong icon.

Well, give it a try anyhow! :nod::):wave::yo:

I think its a live draft Tater. This is right from our league overview page on Yahoo:
Your live online draft is set for Sun Oct 1 8:00pm EDT, which is 34 days 47 minutes from now (test your system (http://drafttester.fantasysports.yahoo.com/porttester/client/testdraft.html?id=nhl)). Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time. You can rank your players (http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/13050/3/prerank) up until 45 minutes before your draft.
The draft order will be randomly determined approximately 30 minutes before the draft begins.
Your league will not be permitted to conduct its draft if it contains an odd number of managers.
If you wish to leave this league, you can delete this team (http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/myleagues).

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize. :doh:

Thanks Jammer. :thumb:

Join anyhow folks! :nod: I'm still using the default rankings, pretty much.

Someone should PM BillLaimbeer. He's a sucker for a competition.

Also, chase the slackers.

If we're still short, I can do some recruiting. LMK.

LMK.

Lick My Knuts? That's kind of harsh don't you think? Its only a game.:P

Let me know.

Lick My Knuts? That's kind of harsh don't you think? Its only a game.:P

:laugh: That's funny! :laugh:

My buddy Marc will be signing up, he just hasn't yet.

We're still missing a few who showed interest in this thread.

SLACKERS!

My buddy Marc will be signing up, he just hasn't yet.

We're still missing a few who showed interest in this thread.

SLACKERS!

Yeah. But the last thing I want to do is put SLIPPY and LINWOOD on the spot because that just wouldn't be right to single SLIPPY and LINWOOD out for being slackers because SLIPPY and LINWOOD might be sensitive about being called slackers. I'm sure guys like SLIPPY and LINWOOD have more important things to do like feed their cats or do other stuff like that because if the other stuff wasn't important SLIPPY and LINWOOD would just go ahead and take the 1 minute and 42 seconds it takes to join and just join and then we wouldn't have to avoid using the names of SLIPPY and LINWOOD in order not to rush them and make them feel like slackers.

Micro, I hope you appreciate the kinder gentler version of Darth Tater. I really wanted to call out SLIPPY and LINWOOD, but instead decided to use tact. It's the new me. :decision:

Alright, my buddy just signed up.

The slackers are still slacking.:sleep:

This subtle approach is for the birds.:attention

Sign up you lame-o's!!!!!!! :laugh:

Disclaimer: (If your name is Slippy or Linwood, don't necessarily assume this message is directed solely toward you).

Sorry Darth, I had you on ignore. By-product of the murder game.

Sorry Darth, I had you on ignore. By-product of the murder game.

Oh, that's just mean.

At any rate, I am still waiting for "Slippy's Slackers" and "Linwood's Lame-o's" to join Super's league. :D

I think the gang's all there.

2 opens spots, unless Darth's friend signs up.

Also, I PM'd BillLaimbeer to see if he was interested.

If we need to start recruiting the last 2 guys, I'll let you all know in the next few days.

My friend is in.

Super, you'll be happy to know he graduated from MSU college of law with me and ironically has lived in Idaho his whole life. He knows as much about fantasy hockey as me. (I.E. nothing).

We only need one more. :rockon:

Alright, the search is on for the final team.

I PM'd LanierFan, because he posts in here once in a while.

Good idea. I'll try Gazoo too.

I don't know anything about hockey. :confused:

Shoot puck, score goal

Who cares? Sign up. It's for laughs. Anything involving DT is usually funny.

LOL. Looking at the people who joined, we can't miss.



Linwood: Hey man. How many rebounds does Hedstrom get?

Super: You mean Holmstrom or Lidstom, maybe?

Linwood: Whatever man. I need a rebounder.

Super: Well, the way it works...

Linwood: Dang, I decided to dump my number one pick. He's famous for goal tending, so I dumped his sorry butt.

Super: No dude, you want a great goalteder.

Linwood: Look man, I may not know much...but I do know goaltending is a bad thing.

Oh, I can't wait.

:laugh:

Who is Hedstrom?

Still need one more.

I can't believe there are so few hockey fans here.

BillLaimbeer can't make the draft, so he decided not to get in.

We have Wings fans, they are just hard to get a commitment from...

I was thinking about ponying up Jacques Demers book about how he is illiterate but there isn't an English translation as yet (as far as I know).

We have Wings fans, they are just hard to get a commitment from...

They're surrounded by hoop heads, maybe they're just nervous.

Alright, one more, one more player, spin the big wheel and win a stuffed animal, one more player, who's the big player?

Is it you sir?!

I'm in , but how the hell do I sign up???

Superstarov will contact you shortly. Or maybe Darth Tater can get you sorted.

I am very happy you took me up on the invite Woody! :D:D:D

I PM'd the info to Woody.

I PM'd BillLaimbeer, and when he said he couldn't make it, Roscoe, I forgot all about you mentioning Woody.

Thanks for looking out for my loose ends.

AND THEN THERE WERE 10!!!

I think we have a real fun group here.

Woody is signed up.

So we are officially full.

More to come as we near the starting line.

Just over two weeks to the draft.

I'm excited!

The final battle is near...

:starwars:

Me too. I'm going to steal some Russians in the draft and then trade them to you at a high price. That is my whole strategy in a nutshell. lol

I learned my lesson last year... I'm drafting gaoltenders high. A lot of players can come out of nowhere to have a good season, but good goalies are a precious thing.

15 days, 3 hours, 32 minutes left! I'm slowly counting down...

Hey Star,

I was just checking out the league at Yahoo but I couldn't find anywhere that had how many points each category was worth. I found the categories themselves under league settings, but not what each is worth. Is each category worth the same amount?

I've only played fantasy hockey once before and it was quite a few years ago.

Oh. I assumed it was going to work just like bball. I hope Super does a little fantasy hockey 101 for us if it's different.

I am doing a good sized Fantasy Hockey 101 right now. Should be up in an hour or two.

Okay.

The Fantasy Hockey 101 guide by Superstarov is done.

I stickied the thread and then closed it, so we can keep the discussion in one place, but it can be accessed easily.

HERE IT IS. (http://www.pistonsforum.com/red-wings-hockey/4386-fantasy-hockey-101-a.html#post49974)

Let me know if I missed anything that you guys still need to know.

Thanks Super, now I have enough info to kick your butt all over fantasy Hockeyland.

Seriously, very helpful insight.

What are your draft plans? :whistle::heh:

I'm going to make a hard run at Sean Avery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Avery), he led the league in penalty minutes last season, and was almost 50 penalty minutes ahead of the second guy. Those type of numbers will really help your fantasy team!

How many guys should we draft at each spot. For example, would we draft two goalies, normally?

How many guys should we draft at each spot. For example, would we draft two goalies, normally?

Well, I personally will probably go for 4 defensemen, 3 goalies, and the rest forwards, trying to make sure that I have at least 3 guys who can play the C. That's in an ideal world. But it may not happen that way. If you get two goalies that are pretty sure to play a decent number of games, then you may be fine with just two.

Incidentally, I had my friend who is playing with us check out the Fantasy Hockey 101 Guide, and he told me I gave up too much of my "hard earned fantasy hockey strategies".:ohwell:

Do I really need to read all that information to play?

What's a lineman?

Linemen are almost as important as tackles and power forwards.

ONE WEEK TO THE DRAFT!!!

Whew, I keep worrying I am going to miss it. I have to find some time to get research in.

I'm really excited about the draft tomorrow.

I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd be hard pressed to explain the difference between cross checks and crossovers, but I'll give it my best. I love playing fantasy sports in general, so I'm sure I'll pick this up. Too bad I can't draw a nice salary for sitting on the computer all day analyzing fantasy stats and strategies.

I've participated in live drafts where the commissioner fills everything in afterwards, but I've never done it where the computer takes care of it. So we all meet in Yahoo somehow? How does that work, exactly?

You got to yahoo, see the order and start picking when it is your turn.

Your roster is built automagically!

I'm pumped too.

Yeah, log into the Yahoo page, and there will be a link that say "begin live draft", or something like that. I recommend logging in at least 20 minutes early.

Just a little over 24 hours!

Roscoe, if you draft my boy, I'm driving down to Windsor and %%%%% slapping you.

I swear to God, I will.

You better take him in the first round and pray that you have a higher pick than me.

You better take him in the first round and pray that you have a higher pick than me.

He's not even worth a 3rd round pick really.

I just like having my favorite player on my fantasy team.

Where do I get a list of all the players??

I know most of the Red Wings, but the rest will be mostly a guess.

Is there a list so I can try to make a plan before the draft, or do I have to somehow create a list of all the NHL players available. UGH!

I do know the difference between a lineman, and a shot clock violation. :)

Here is all you have to do. They make it pretty simple for you.

Go to the main page of our league, where it has the team names listed.

Click on your team's name.

There is a big box that says when the draft is. In that box toward the bottom is "Pre-Draft Player Rankings" - Click on that.

Right above where it lists the players, it says "Edit My Rankings" - Click on that.

Then you can sort the rankings by different categories, and add them to "My Players" with the arrow keys.

This way, if your turn to draft is up, it will show you the highest ranked player in your rankings that is available to draft. (I think) - Just be sure when you are done ranking your players, to hit the "SAVE" button in the top right hand area.

Also, at any point you can click on "Players" at the top of the page. I like to do this in a new window, so I can check back and forth between the player stats and the rankings page.

But from the "Players" page, you can sort players by a ton of different statistical categories and positions. Then you can bounce back to the "Rankings" page, and apply the knowledge you've just gained.

I hope this helps you guys out.

If anyone has a problem, I'll have the PistonsForum open about a half hour before the draft starts. So if you have questions, send me a personal message, and I'll try to help get you navigated to the draft.

EIGHT HOURS!

I almost forgot! Sheesh!

wheres the draft order?

You've got to click on the "enter live draft" tab.

Anyone else not getting onto the yahoo site? Its saying the server isn't found.

I've been having that problem lately, but only with Yahoo for some reason. I can access every other site on the planet, but every so often, Yahoo isn't available.

Only 20 minutes til draft time and I can't get to the site! :frusty:

Everyone getting in there?

(You suck Micro - Dynamo Moscow... pffft)

I'm in and waiting. No idea what is goin on with your connection Jammer.

Try loading Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) and navigating from there. Maybe you are following a bad link...

You suck Micro - Dynamo Moscow... pffft
All your wodka are belong to me!

I cant see anyone else in there. Does the order go according to your flag placement at the top?

I don't know either. I'm in now though. It just happens every once in a while and it only affects Yahoo? :confused: I can still get on every other site.

I always access it from the Yahoo Fantasy homepage. I have a team for hockey, football, basketball and baseball, so I always start from there and check each of my leagues that way.

I cant see anyone else in there. Does the order go according to your flag placement at the top?

Yes it does.

And yeah, you can't tell who's in there, which sucks.

GREAT DRAFT!

ALRIGHTY THEN.

The draft is complete.

Make sure your line-ups are set.

The first week of match-up is the 4th - the 8th.

I thought it wouldn't start scoring until the first full week of the season, but I just double checked, and I was wrong. Scoring starts OCT 4th.

So make sure your lines are set before the puck-drop on the 4th.

This years draft was a bit dissapointing, as the Linwood Avenue Chiefs were not able to aquire Satan, who they feel would bring a certain villainous swagger to their team.

I had a great time @ the draft!

Thanks for inviting us Sup.

Thanks for participating all.

Remember to set your line-ups in the next couple of days.

How do I "set my lineup"??

ok, so do we set our lineup daily, like basketball, or do we set it for the whole week and can't change guys? I'm confused.

The draft was fun, and now it going to be fun going head-to-head.

How do I "set my lineup"??
Go to here,

Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Hockey (http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/13050)

click on MY TEAM (menu; league, my team, players etc...)

And set your lineup (your top 12 players based upon the positions required to be filled)

ok, so do we set our lineup daily, like basketball, or do we set it for the whole week and can't change guys? I'm confused.
Daily if you want. I'm gunna set mine weekly.

The draft was fun, and now it going to be fun going head-to-head.

Yeah, fun for you maybe. You stole Markov right out from under my nose! :P

ok, so do we set our lineup daily, like basketball, or do we set it for the whole week and can't change guys? I'm confused.

I recommend setting them for each day like basketball. But I think it is easier than basketball.

The way I do it is, set my line-up for the whole week, in one sitting. Just sit down, and go through the whole week, and set my line-ups for each day. It takes about 5 minutes.

OK, thanks, I wasn't sure if we could change it throughout the week. I wasn't clear when I asked my question.

Well, the draft was fun, but I am going to get hammered all year.

I drafted my team using the Yahoo rankings as a guideline since I know nothing about the NHL. However, these rankings are set up for success in leagues with the default settings, and not for the special settings we have in our league.

I.E. my strength is in goaltending which accounts for relatively little in our league and my firepower therefore leaves much to be desired.

Prediction: 10th of 10 teams. Last place here I come. :cheers:

Well, you never know. And like I said before, keep an eye on the free agents. There are always about 20 or 30 guys who come out of nowhere to become decent players. It's not like basketball, where maybe each team has a guy who show up out of nowhere.

Usually each team has a guy or two who breaks into decent playing time, after a rough start to the season. Especially European players, because not only do they have anew culture to get used to, they have smaller ice sizes and different rules as well. So some of those young guys don't hit their stride until a few months into the season.

Don't lose hope.

Don't lose hope.

Feel free to lose, just don't lose hope. :nerner:

One of my guys is injured (already!) :(

I tried to drop him and pick up someone Tater dropped. Do I have to wait until tomorrow for that to show up??? The site said Oct. 3.

I asssume my lineup is set with the 12 I have who are not BN (whatever that means) :) Bed Ridden?? Benched??

BN = On the bench (not playing)

When a player is dropped, he has to clear waivers. It's usually a couple days.

When a player has been a free agent for a few days (or longer, ie. all season) you can add him instantly.

Don't sweat injuries folks. Not unless they will be long term. You can always leave injured guys on the bench.

Another question:sssh:

How can I tell if my lineup is set weakly, or daily?

If I just leave the same 12 guys listed can I go all year with the same team. :pound:

Another question:sssh:
Ask as many as you like. This is supposed to be fun and a learning experience.

How can I tell if my lineup is set weakly, or daily?

Weekly vs. daily is a league setting. Daily means you can tweak your lineup each day. Weekly means that you lock it in before Monday.

So in a daily league (which ours is) you can make a lineup change on Friday.

In a weekly league, the guys who played monday, play all week and you can't do anything about it.

Remember, we are daily. It's much more flexible.

If I just leave the same 12 guys listed can I go all year with the same team. :pound:
Yep. ;)

I still can't find where the weekly/daily button is.

Also, the guy I dropped (F. Kaberle) is out 4-6 months with a shoulder injury. I'm trying to replace him with T. Poti, who Tater dropped.

This is getting really complex.:rolleyes:

There is no button.

We play daily. Everyone is playing to the same rules. Forget Weekly, it's irrelevant to our league.

Your lineup will stay the same it was the previous day UNLESS you change it. So you can start the same 12 guys and never have to touch your lineup again all season. You do not need to set it daily. It will automatically use the last days lineup.

When you go to MY TEAM, is there a note about Poti (Waivers) above your roster?

Don't fret. It gets a lot easier once the games start. And honestly, tanking a week or two to get comfortable is totally acceptable.

Do you mean "tanking" or "taking".:gun1:

There is NO note about Poti and "waivers".

I checked the waiver period. It is two days. That means since I dropped him Sunday night, he will not be available Monday or Tuesday.

You can claim him on waivers now and hope nobody has a higher waiver priority. However, you will move to the bottom of the waiver list. (Maybe not an issue).

Or you can wait until Wednesday and if he clears waivers you can claim him as a free agent. So if you wait anyone can claim him (including me). But if you use your waiver pick on him, he will not become a free agent and only people with a higher waiver than you (not including me...the waiving GM) can get him.

OK, I know slippy is gonna say something about my explanation so I'll simplify it:

You can get him Wednesday, Dude.

Isn't this fun??

An old guy trying to learn new tricks.:stirthepot:

Is there any way I can correct the spelling of my team name?? It should be Sid Abel not Sid Able. My bad!!!

Woody, very simple.

Make sure you are on the MY TEAM page.

Click ADD PLAYERS

Search by last name POTI, click FIND PLAYER

Click the green + sign under the ACTION heading.

Follow it through. Now he should appear in your MY TEAM message area.

You ALWAYS want to put in for a player while he is on waivers. ALWAYS. Once he is a free agent, it's first come, first serve. You wanna get ahead of that.

There is NO note about Poti and "waivers".

He's on waivers, I just checked. All dropped players go on waivers. If you go to the players section to pick someone up it shows the day he gets off waivers.

He's responding to something I posted earlier.

Thanks, Darth

I understand now (I think) , anyway I'll find some guy somewhere before the season starts. Or I can move my bench player, Kornwalll, into that spot. Nothing like having a rookie defenseman!

I found my problem.

You have to remove a player first before you can add a new one.

Once I placed the injured guy on the IR, it opened up a spot. Then, when I added the new guy, he showed up as on waivers with a note on my team site. Cool.

Maybe I'll get him.:stirthepot:

GO WOODY! :)

Thanks, Darth

Kronwall's not exactly a rookie Woody. The Wings are expecting BIG things out of him this season. It is actually his 3rd season. He is a top 4 D-man. He won the AHL's best defenseman during the lock-out. He was named MVP of the World Championships in 2005, when Sweden won the Gold. And also was a member of the Gold winning Swedish Olypmic team.

He's a punishing open ice hitter, and likes to jump into the offensinve flow too. A lot of people in the Wings organization are comparing him to Konstantinov... deceptive power for his size, and a knack for scoring. Plus Kronwall's got some really good speed.

Lubomir Konstantinov. That would be an awesome name.

I know Kronwall is supposed to be good. That's why I took him. :)

Now all he has to do is produce!!

I hope he is the next Red Kelly!!

What is the "FW" stat? I figured out the others, I believe. LOL.

Oh never mind. Something tells me we are keeping track of "faceoffs won".

Hey Bezeach, what's it gonna take to pry Andrei Markov away from you?

And if you tell me Jagr or Hossa or someone like that, you're officially off my Christmas list.

Keep in mind that you picked him in the 8th round, one spot ahead of where I was about to take him! :frusty:

One more thing I forgot to mention to you guys:

Let's say your goalie plays in a game, and gives up 4 goals in the 1st period. Then he gets pulled.

Like it or not, that means that for that game your goalie has a 12.00 Goals Against Average (GGA).

Get it? If he played a full game, in the same manner he was playing in the minutes he actually did play, how would it have come ended up? Hence, GGA, goals per game average.

Now, as far as I know, even playing one period does count toward your 3 games required by your goalie.

Sucks huh?

Your friend is shelling me.

Your friend is shelling me.

He has no clue what he's doing. The comp picked good guys or he had a lucky day.

But if you want a goaltender...

You can have Kiprusoff and I'll even throw in that guy on I.R. you wanted...

but you know who I want dontcha? :D

I'm not making any trades. That is my fantasy mantra. In 3 leagues thus far, I have screwed myself by making trades. If I had stayed pat and just played free agency, I would have won 2 of them.

OK. :P

Who has Jagr? Jammer...

OK. :P

Who has Jagr? Jammer...

Kipper is a great goalie, but my draft strategy was to focus on offence and pick average goalies, since they only count for 4 categories.

We'll see how my strategy plays out, but its too early to abandon it right now.

Yeah, under this system I should have gone for one stud goalie and one star player in the first two rounds rather than two stud goalies.

Oh well, that's 4 categories I should usually win. Now I just need to figure a way to get 3 of the 7 remaining ones on a consistent basis. I probably should wait to see what my relative strengths are before dealing.

Oh, about waivers, if you guys don't know.

The more often you pick guys up off of waivers...

If you try to sign a guy on waivers, and someone else does as well...

If you do it a lot, and they never do it, they'll get the guy.

The more often you do it counts against wether you can sign them or not.

If no one else wants the guy, you're fine, but if more than one person wants the same guy, the one with the least amount of waiver pick ups will get the player.

I swear, I thought I would see this----> :flypig:

long before I saw Linwood leading ANY fantasy league let alone our fantasy HOCKEY league!!! :faint2:

I think there needs to be a full scale investigation.

Nice come back by Roscoe after a rocky start. You should have a MUCH easier time against me next week than you did against squirrel. But the Taters have some awesome goaltenders that are going to be tough for you to score on. :laugh:

Nice week Jammer. I think we ended up tied.

Just think of how well I would be doing with Satan on my team.

Nice week Jammer. I think we ended up tied.

Yeah, you had me dominated in the goalie stats and face offs and I had you in the scoring stats. Worked out to be a draw.:makmiday:

It seems like my guys hardly play over the next week. It's really annoying.

I have to beat Tater. Make mashed taters.

My guys outnumber yours this week, but you shouldn't have any problems handling my squad. You have a much better offense, and your goaltenders should neutarlize mine, pretty much.

BTW, Your 3rd goaltender last night had a stellar game, but you benched him. Was that intentional (anticipating a relatively poor performance) or was it an oversight? I didn't realize he was benched until I looked at the stats this morning.

Speaking of stats and standings, unfortunately for you and I, they've changed. I'm not sure why, but now Linwood is not in first place, and I went from a 4-4 tie with Bezeach to a 2-5 loss. I've never seen that happen before.

I have to say...ENUF ALEADY!!!!!sheesh!

Just got Woody's message from Yahoo.

Hey!!

I just figured out that I can change my lineup each day so that I have the maximun number of guys playing each day. Previously, I just kept the same 12 guys and a lot of the time I had just a few guys playing.

Watch out Now!!!

I'm playing with a full deck!!
Great stuff!

You guys are having a frenzy on the FA market...

Wow.

The season is barely a week old...

And there are like...22 weeks left.

Easy there fellas. You may be dropping good players.

It's me.

I've made more moves than the entire league combined. I always do that with my lower ranked players. Shopping for free agents is what I enjoy most about fantasy sports. Anyhow, I don't see anyone jumping at the players I've dumped.

Injuries are already piling up for me. Plus I realize that my team isn't going to do to well with all of these offensive categories, so I'm going to enjoy the fact that I have unlimited moves to tinker with my lineup. Otherwise, it's going to be a very very long season for Taters Skaters.

I don't mind that my team stinks as long as I'm enjoying the ride. :nod:

Fantasy sports is all about "what have you done for me lately?".

"Potential" is meaningless.

We all know that "Potential" plus Arroyo will get your an expiring contract and a draft pick.

I don't know how but I am up 6-5 over Tater today with only a couple guys on each team left to play.

I don't like my team. It's got great players but I can't compete on SHG, SHA, AST, FW...

I need great goaltending (which I kinda have) to be competitive.

Marc Denis. Steal of the draft!

I've got FW locked up. Brind'Amour is a FW machine, and Sakic is doing well too.

Got two good goal tenders, although I'm not too sure about Cam Ward. Brodeur is HOF material.

Linwood is GOING DOWN!!

I'm up 8-0 after one day. He has little chance of recovering, and should prepare to retun to his rightful place in short order.

The best thing about fantasy hockey is that Woody is new to fantasy sports and having a blast.

Woodrow, I loved your "I am the coach AND the GM" comment on the hockey site. :pound:

Don't be too sure. His team isn't called the "Linwood CHEATS" for nothing.

Hey Woody, glad you are having a good time. I have decided to wait until Wednesday to set my roster, just to give you a chance.

Have Fun!

What'ya mean, "set your roster"?

You got a bunch of duds. Where are you going to set them?
You got three goalies, do you keep one in your lap??
You're playing in the big time now.

And Super, what's this Ukranian bit. Micro is obviously confused and you're trying to take advantage of him. His team is already in the dumpers. He needs help, not pot shots. Send him back to Roselawn for more training.

This is my first atempt at a Fantasy League, and I get to talk more smack than even on the golf course. No one should have this much fun!!!

I am shutup

I told you so.

I've benched Modano until he improves his play.

Malkin is the truth. Did you see his goal last night? Amazing hands.

Its so nice to see that you guys are still fighting for 2nd place.

I was worried that you'd all give up after seeing MC Jammer Pants in their full glory.

You definitely can't touch this!

Slippy, Lunqvist won a game tonight! It was tied so they went to a shootout, and he stopped all 3 shooters as the Rangers scored on their last chance.

Really cool.

I think one of your defensemen had a goal and an assist too (if he's on Ottawa).

Hey Jammer, looks like the Habs shelled Theodore!

Hey Jammer, looks like the Habs shelled Theodore!

Yeah, I kind of feel bad for him actually. I really liked Jose. I'm surprised they left him in there for all 8 goals. He gave up 5 goals on 14 shots in the 3rd.

The "fans" booed former Hab Patrice Brisebois every time he touched the puck too. Kind of surprising since he had just donated $50,000 to a Montreal Children's Hospital yesterday.

Alright... I admit defeat Micro.

I'm comfortable with it.

I'm a Lions fan.

I'm loving my Crosby / Malkin pairing.

My team is starting to shape up. Can you believe redden has no points so far this season? URGH.

Watch out for Taters skaters. I should be in 4th or 5th place tomorrow morning. If Kipursoff starts playing well, I'll be pretty tough.

This week I'm playing a "Bezeach". What's a "Bezeach"??

Sounds like some kind of stomach ailment.

Maybe that's what he'll have after I get through with him. A "Bezeach".

Its certainly nice to be in a crowd like this. Micro never told me I would have to put up with all this stuff when I signed up at the last minute to save your league.

I'm not Canadian so I'm at a big disadvantage. I don't know any of the current players.

When I was in college (back in the 1950's), I knew most of the players. I keep looking for Red Kelly, Marcel Pronovost (sp?), and Abel-Lindsay-Howe, also Alex Delvecchio (sp?).

I'd like to get rid of Yashin and get Delvecchio. I need a good center. Is Sid Abel still available??

I can't pronounce anybody's name let alone spell it. I chose my team completely on Hype. I've got an all-hype team. If their name isn't in the papers a lot, I don't know them. I've got Sakic, Lidstrom, Yashin, Selanne, and then a bunch of guys I can't even spell.

I'll be looking for Supe in round 9, and by then Darth will have been mincemeat.

Up 10-1

I really like my lineup. Three good centers (Brind'Amour, Sakic, and Yashin), four good wings (Vanek, Sedin, Selanne, Iginla) and two decent backups ( Takach (sp) and Hejduk (sp). Broduer and Ward in goal. They're O.K. but not real hot yet.

Anyway, Taters will be mincemeat, and Supe is going down in round 9.
