Fantasy Hockey '09

[msubulldogs21]

Alright. Who's in?

I just set up the league. Speak up/sign up quick if you want in. I'd kind of like to do 12 teams, so if we can't get enough from talksox I'll probably invite a friend or two of mine who are wanting to do it. I tentatively put the draft for September 24th at 7 p.m. central, but we'll see what everyone's schedules are and try to work out the best possible time.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Just joined.

[msubulldogs21]

What do yall think about having two 6 team divisions? Never done that before, but I think it would be cool. Something to think about at least.

[rician blast]

I'm Melrose Mullets.....uh....defending champion. I thank you.

[YanksHater213]

even though i dominated the entire regular season... i was up like 20-30 pts going into the playoffs if i remember right

[TheKilo]

In son

[rician blast]

even though i dominated the entire regular season... i was up like 20-30 pts going into the playoffs if i remember right

dominated shmominated.

I was off to a great start, then Brodeur got hurt and missed 75% of the season and the Mullets fell back a bit but still finished 2nd.

I was simply peaking for the playoffs, my boy.

[BoSox21]

im in suckas. im Vanek!AtTheDisco

[TheKilo]

In as Heatley's Wraparound

[msubulldogs21]

1 more spot. Who wants it?

[TheKilo]

You all suck for not saying anything about my team name.

[redsoxrules]

Oh well

[YanksHater213]

i chuckled....

i have heard more clever things before, but it's top 5 fantasy team names i've heard in a while

[rician blast]

You all suck for not saying anything about my team name.

heatley's wraparound?

what's there to say?

[rician blast]

Hey B.Mat....you know where to go for draft help...did I mention I'm the defending champ?

mooohahahhaahahahahahahaha!

[msubulldogs21]

So, is everyone good with the draft time? I hope to have a good amount of us there.

Also, what about two 6 team divisions? I think that would be cool. Something different from last year.

Draft time is never good for me unless its noon time during the week or weekends

I'll just do like always and pre rank my players and hope for the best

[YanksHater213]

time should be good, just remind me on monday nite/tues afternoon

[BoSox21]

yea, I definitely like the time

[msubulldogs21]

Ok, we're still stuck on 11 members. The draft is Tuesday night and we need 1 more...

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ok, we're still stuck on 11 members. The draft is Tuesday night and we need 1 more...

I might have to bow out. I might not be in town on Tuesday night and I really don't want an auto drafted team. I should know better tomorrow after work.

[msubulldogs21]

I might have to bow out. I might not be in town on Tuesday night and I really don't want an auto drafted team. I should know better tomorrow after work.

Let me know ASAP because if that's the case, we could do 10.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Will do.

[BoSox21]

just got done my second draft in 4 days...you guys are finished

[WhiskeyBreath]

Shit, I have my Winners league draft at 9:15 that night as well. Anyone know if it's possible to have 2 drafts open at the same time if I use different browsers or somethin?

[BoSox21]

I dont see why not

[TheKilo]

I'm with YH, just need a reminder and I will be on for the draft.

[TheKilo]

heatley's wraparound?

what's there to say?


On September 29, 2003, Heatley was seriously injured after he lost control of the Ferrari 360 Modena he was driving. The car struck a wall, splitting the car in half and ejecting him and his passenger, teammate Dan Snyder. Heatley suffered a broken jaw, a minor concussion, a bruised lung, bruised kidney, and tore three ligaments in his right knee; Snyder was critically injured with a skull fracture and died six days later on October 5 of sepsis. Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide; he pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding. He admitted to drinking some prior to the incident, but his blood-alcohol content was below the legal limit. He was sentenced to three years probation, and the judge, Rowland W. Barnes, required the court to approve Heatley's vehicle, which could not have more than six cylinders and would not surpass 70mph (112 km/h).[6] Heatley avoided having to go to trial as part of a plea deal that dropped the first-degree charge of vehicular homicide.[7]

[msubulldogs21]

I'm with YH, just need a reminder and I will be on for the draft.

Yeah I'll make sure I say something on here a time or two

[WhiskeyBreath]

I'm able to make the draft.

[msubulldogs21]

I'm able to make the draft.

Good deal.

Gom is going to sign up as our 12th member.

[BoSox21]

Gom is going to sign up as our 12th member.

OH YAY!............<_<

[Gom]

OH YAY!............<_<
It would be funny if I beat you considering I know three hockey players.

[BoSox21]

you can probably take half an hour and learn basically injury knowledge right now and go by Yahoo rankings and skate by anyway (pardon the pun)

[msubulldogs21]

Draft tonight at 7 central. That would be 8 eastern, Gom.

Who all is expecting to make it?

[YanksHater213]

i will be

[BoSox21]

ill definitely be there....unless a really hot brunette wants to have sex with me at that exact time, then I might miss half a round

[YanksHater213]

So I'm on a fucking horrendous sleep schedule right now because of my classes and I didn't sleep last night. I'm gonna try to be at the draft til around 845-9 before I pass out, I'm not sure I'll even make it to then, we'll see.

If you can hold out til then you can probably get in most of the rounds. I figure it'll take an hour to an hour 20 minutes or so.

[msubulldogs21]

Draft is about to open

I predict I'm dead last as usual

[WhiskeyBreath]

Rather have last than some dumb slot like #7 or so.

[msubulldogs21]

Awesome

11th pick <_<

[TheKilo]

Fuck that noise with the 12th pick.

Oh well.

[redsoxrules]

I'm stuck at work... can someone tell me who I got at my first pick ?

[TheKilo]

I think it was Datsyuk

[TheKilo]

Huge fan of my team.

Kovalchuk-Zetterberg-Brown
Booth-Richards-Wheeler

Wideman-Kubina
Tyutin-Commodore

Mason
Rask

Hejduk
Stankos
Byfuglien
Berglund
Wolski (waiver claim for Rene Borque pending)

[msubulldogs21]

Kilo, that is a good team. You might get screwed at goalie though if Mason only starts like 2 games one week and Rask doesn't play during that time. 3 starts at minium you know.

[msubulldogs21]

I like my team quite a bit too, only thing is I'm going to get SLAUGHTERED in goals scored every week.

Really pleased to have Nabokov/Luongo at goalie. That is going to win me a lot of categories.

[TheKilo]

Rask's gonna get 35ish games this season.

[msubulldogs21]

Rask's gonna get 35ish games this season.

Yeah I'm expecting that too, just saying if you catch a bad break where he doesn't start for that week you might be in some trouble.

[msubulldogs21]

As for who's who:

Kane's Cabbie - me
sea bass - yankshater
5 minute majors - whiskeybreath
Hassenpfeffer & Eggs - one of my friends, not a talksox member
pimpin aint breesy - my cousin, not a talksox member

Spicy McHaggis' - another friend, not a talksox member
Heatley's Wraparound - Kilo
Redsoxrules - redsoxrules
Broadstreet Bullies - bmatthews
Melrose Mullets - rician blast
Up Your Ovechkin - Gom

[YanksHater213]

My team is pretty mediocre but I have a shot providing the young guys I have step up and produce better than they did this year.

That's how I built my team last year...I had Brodeur, Lundquist and Thomas. In most fantasy leagues the goalies provide close to 40% of your points each week, makes snese to focus on goalies.

This year I had #1 overall pick, took Ovechkin...had to of course. By the time I picked again (23 picks later!) there wasn't much left in goal but had to jump on one, so I took Cam Ward. Now I'll be rooting for Carolina this year...and I've hated them since they played in a mall in Hartford.

[BoSox21]

Thomas Vanek - Joe Thornton - Daniel Alfredsson
Loui Eriksson - Eric Staal - Michael Ryder

Mike Green - Brian Rafalski
Lubomir Visnovsky - Tomas Kaberle

Martin Brodeur
Chris Mason
Pascal Leclaire

Paul Stastny
Marco Sturm
J.P. Dumont
Kris Letang

suck it

[YanksHater213]

Milan Michalek - Jeff Carter - Alexander Semin
Alexei Ponikarovsky - Pat Elias - Pat Kane

Scott Niedermeyer - Kevin Bieksa
Marek Zidlicky - Braydon Coburn

Pekka Rinne
Cristobal Huet
Jon Quick

Brooks Laich
Peter Mueller
RJ Umberger
Ales Kotalik

If the young guys on my team can step up and produce, especially the goalies, I'll have a shot.

[rician blast]

Jon Quick...hailing from nearby Hamden, Ct.

If LA can be decent, he'll get some W's

[msubulldogs21]

I'm not sure my team could've gotten off to a worse start. YH you could be looking at 10-0-0 or 9-0-1 this week.

[rician blast]

Yo, B-Mat...getting awfully cocky with me after one day of play this week.

Watch out for the guns....they'll get ya.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Gonchar out up to 6 weeks...:thumbdown

[msubulldogs21]

Gonchar out up to 6 weeks...:thumbdown

I have Lucic AND Savard.

It's also really starting to piss me off how every opponent I face has a career week against me. I have a good team, yet I'm sitting 6-13-1 and likely won't be much better after this week.

[rician blast]

I keep forgetting to update my line-ups...Ovechkin and Backstrom have ridden the pine for me twice this week I think.

[msubulldogs21]

I have Lucic AND Savard.

Dammit, and now Simon Gagne is on the IR too.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Dammit, and now Simon Gagne is on the IR too.

That's rough.

[msubulldogs21]

Dammit, and now Simon Gagne is on the IR too.

Lucic, Savard, Gagne, and now Krejci joins the club.

[rician blast]

my team blows

Last year I got Brodeur with my #1 pick and Lundquist with my #3.

This year I had #1 overall and took Ovechkin...how could I not, right? Screw that, by the time I picked again (#23 overall pick) the best goalie available was Cam Ward and before going on the IR he fkn sucked. Hiller? Sucks. Dan Ellis? Sucks and does not play.

Hey, anyone wanna dump their #1 goalie?

[msubulldogs21]

Anyone noticed how tight the top five in our league is? This is unbelievable.

5 Minute Majors: 84-55-11 --- 179
Hassenpfeffer & Eggs: 81-53-16 --- 178
Vanek!AtTheDisco: 80-53-17 --- 177
Melrose Mullets: 79-53-18 --- 176
Kane's Cabbie: 82-57-11 --- 175

And then we have 3 teams within 3 points fighting for the final playoff spot in 6th. What a competitive league.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Anyone looking for a goalie?

[b.mathews59]

Talksox league this year?

[BoSox21]

I'd very much like to be a part of it

[WhiskeyBreath]

Yes. I have to defend my title :harhar:

[b.mathews59]

well, we do need a few more people to be in for our league.
Rician?
MSU?

[msubulldogs21]

[redsoxrules]

[msubulldogs21]

Two spots left

[rician blast]

rician is in, save me a spot.

[b.mathews59]

how about GOM?

[BoSox21]

If we're short, I have a buddy who follows hockey religiously who I'm sure would be in. But obviously, priority should be reserved for people here.

[TheKilo]

Have to bow out sorry guys

[msubulldogs21]

League is up. Sending out the invites now.

Still have 1 or 2 spots left...

[msubulldogs21]

2 spots left

Anyone?

[Yaz Sideburn]

i have never tried fantasy hockey before and i have no idea how it works but if you really need another person i'll give it a try

[boston22407]

i'm down

[msubulldogs21]

Are you both good to be active for the whole season?

[WhiskeyBreath]

If need be, I can get someone who would be active all year. Let me know.

[boston22407]

fuck , i missed that shit!

[Yaz Sideburn]

Are you both good to be active for the whole season?

probably not

[b.mathews59]

did we get a 12th?

[msubulldogs21]

did we get a 12th?

We have an even 10 right now. I'm going to look into it more this week and find an 11th and 12th.

[italstallianion]

Who's the commissioner?

[msubulldogs21]

Who's the commissioner?

Here here

You follow hockey a little bit. Want in?

[italstallianion]

I don't know, I've had really bad luck with fantasy sports recently. Not with my teams, just with other people. It's a long story.

[boston22407]

Here here

You follow hockey a little bit. Want in?

i want in

[msubulldogs21]

We're set with 12 now

Draft is a week from tonight. How many are expecting to make it? Hopefully we can get most to be there.

[italstallianion]

Have fun guys. While I am certainly one to always stay active (notice the drafts, or anyone else that was in the fantasy league with me), I don't think I'm ready to make another emotional commitment to a fantasy league, especially considering how my last (and current) ones have ended. Hope you guys have fun.

[boston22407]

i can make it

[rician blast]

We're set with 12 now

Draft is a week from tonight. How many are expecting to make it? Hopefully we can get most to be there.
