08/15/06, 04:03 PM
hey guys,


i was wondering if there was anyone interested in being part of an online fantasy hockey league for the upcoming season. some of us did one last year, but it was an automated draft which made it pretty lame, so i'm looking to improve on it this year by having a live draft which should make it much more exciting/interesting for everyone.

if you want in, let me know. the draft will be mid-late september, but i just wanted to give a heads up.


EDIT:
to answer some questions asked in the thread..
-we'll use yahoo, so it will be free.
-it will be a live draft.
-we'll do it with with either 10 or 12 teams. if there is more demand, i will gladly make a second league so that all of us can play.
-bigmike is required to join.


here is the list of people who want to play so far (just so we can see how many there actually are..):

2. xbrokendownx
3. leftwideopen
4. broken parachute
5. brownpants06

10. mrmet
11. dirty ernie
12. playswithfire
13. existentialism
14. dont you move

If its free, and live i guess im in

I don't think that there should be more than 12 teams this year either. Last season there were 20 and half of the people didn't pay attention.

just forewarning, everyone.

i think even 12 teams is too much. i think 8 or 10 is ideal.

hahaha, i'll play.

but i agree with someone else. 8-10 would be ideal, but 10-12 isn't too bad, though.

yea. i'm guessing i'll end up making two leagues of ten teams each. but if there's only 12 players, i'll obviously just make one for all of us.

as a member (and playoff flameout) of last year's league, i think i deserve a spot in league #1.

EDIT: PS, I liked it with 20 people last year. 1 league of 16 (if we have that many) wouldn't be that bad.

PWNAGE. I've been looking forward to this league.

I think, if we can get 16 in, having one league with 8 playoff teams would be a nice format.

EDIT: I believe you can even set up consolation playoffs to make the losers feel better...

08/15/06, 10:59 PM
as of right now, we have 13 people who want to do it. i'll be updating the list every day or two so we can get an accurate count on it. if you guys can bump this thread if it falls off the main page, that would be great. i want to make sure everyone who wants in on it sees this.

ill join this. I would have won the league last year but Hasek decided that getting hurt in the olympics meant not playing for the rest of the year. I dont know if this has been said but, there shouldnt be too many teams because then you run into the problem of not everyone being able to have 2 goalies and then they get screwed

this is true. I was just one of the lucky ones....for most of the season.

I seem to remember a time in November (when Ryan Miller had a broken hand) that I was starting Adam Berkhoel and Michael Garnett (the Thrashers, like, 5th and 6th, goalies of the season). I also think I used Mike Morrison (Edmonton) and Nolan Schaefer (Sharks) in that month,.

so did I. I went back and looked. Out of 18, (I think it was 18) players, I only had 4 left on my final roster.

That being said, I think I built one of the best teams in the league. No real "superstar". Only Mike Modano and Roberto Luongo.

Haha, at our draft my friend had the last pick of the first round and says to all of us that were idiots and then he proceeds to select elias, everyone keeps quiet, then once his pick was inputted he found out and he was basically done from the pool before the season even started.

yeah he wouldve scored 100+ points...and that was without gomez on his line (although they played together on the PP)

We probably won't know by the time of the selection if Malkin is playing or not, might be a risky pick (assuming all of our picks are counted) In our pool last year no one picked Kovalchuck till one of the last rounds due to him being unsigned and close to playing a game in russia where then he could not play here.

i need sleep, im getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow, i hate shit with my teeth :(

Have you been reading the news? Malkin dissapeared from Finland during his team's training camp, and he just turned in his 2 weeks notice to leave. He'll be in America within a few days, and have a deal done a few days after that. He's playing.

no, he didnt blow. he actually averaged a point a game in the games he DID play. but lou was getting sick of him, and i think he was becoming a locker room cancer. plus, he has a bad hip. plus, he makes 435943853498534 million too much.

I know all that, geees what do you think i am? haha. Anyways once his 2 week period expires he will be able to sign with the pens no problem, but where the problem lays is in the litigation. Malkins club is one of the biggest russian clubs and malkin is the leverage that russia has over the nhl in this on going battle in the transfer agreement between the russian hockey federation and the nhl.

His club team is going to file a court injuction to block him from playing in the nhl so that may delay his debut in the nhl.

They're going to file the injuction, but most recent cases like this (Ovechkin) have been just thrown out by the judge.

I just think Malkin's got the best of what both of them have. Crosby's vision/passing ability, Ovechkin's power/willingness to get gritty and work defensively as well. I think he's the total package where as Crosby's a finesse player and Ovechkins a pure scorer, Malkin, I think can do both.

Kind of Forsberg-esque, if you will.

yea, i think the 10-12 team league will be good for the people that played last year that we know are capable of putting the right amount of time into it. and then i'll probably make a 16-20 person league based on how many people want in with the others and whoever wants to join both.

Everything was pretty default last year.

Head to head scoring

2 C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 2 goalie, 4 bench, 1 IR. - That's what we had, that's what's default

Categories: Goals, Assists, Points, PP Points, +/-, Penalty Mins, GW Goals, Wins, GAA, Save %. 10's a good number of categories, and this encompasses all of the game without making things uneven or unfair.

Awwww. If it makes you feel better, I wish we could all have one big league.

But with the number of us interested and the number of goalies, it just doesn't work out.

Maybe we could work something out where the top 4 or whatever get "promoted" next year.

i think you recognize more people than i would. out of the list i made of participants in the first post, who was in last years?


here is the list of people who want to play so far (just so we can see how many there actually are..):
1. btbam > you
2. xbrokendownx
3. leftwideopen
4. broken parachute
5. brownpants06
6. bigmike
7. KB3RG
8. dekdog11
9. jezishchrist
10. mrmet
11. dirty ernie
12. playswithfire
13. existentialism
14. dont you move
15. we are cured
16. kg00d
17. hockey0001
18. lost symphonies

I guess there's a lot less than I thought coming back. Only 5, 6 if you count Pete.

That leaves 6 spots open, as far as I can tell, for new guys.

I'd just like to put my two cents in and say, based on contribution to last year's NHL thread, bigmike, leftwideopen (I think he talked hockey, right?) and kg00d should definitely be in. The other 3 are up for grabs, I don't want to be the one to make that decision.

Although it might be obvious that some people are more interested in playing with the returning players than in a "new" league (MrMet) and that might come into consideration too.

I would say, those 6 that are bolded, me, john (Broken_parachute), xbrokendownx, leftwideopen.
which would leave 2 spots open.

but whatever, i'm game for anything.

I think it's easy to make a 12 team league. There are only like 12 or 13 people on that list who were active in the NHL thread last year anyway.

I could easily pick the 10 that I want in the main league, and they include the 5/6 returning players.

The other 4: you, bigmike, kg00d, Mr Met.

That's 10 out of 12. It's those last two spots that are going to be a bitch.

We can pair them up in groups of 2 and send them on a quest to Pittsburgh. The first two that can persuade Sidney Crosby to ever admit that he was wrong on a penalty definitely deserve to be in. It's a near impossible feat.

does anyone want to play in another league, but for money? not a big amount, maybe like a 5 or 10 dollar buy in..we can get 12 or 16 in, and make it winner take all. i know credibility w/ $$ is an issue, but i'm sure we can figure something out.
