Fantasy Hockey: Important

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

We're all set now.

League 1 drafts at 11:30 PM tonight.

League 2 drafts at 11:00 PM tonight.

See everyone there!

[justinevans]

i'll sign up, but I can't draft.

I signed up for both, but I won't be at either draft.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

hey that works for me. As long as we get an even number, we can draft. Yahoo has the auto list, I'm sure you'll get a decent team

Thanks alot.

[justinevans]

hey that works for me. As long as we get an even number, we can draft. Yahoo has the auto list, I'm sure you'll get a decent team

Thanks alot.

I really don't care. I pre-ranked some players and then set it on auto draft. I excluded most of the guys who are injured for awhile.

[Brownpants06]

i doubt i'll be there for the draft. its saturday! default pre-rankings is all i need hahaha

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

i doubt i'll be there for the draft. its saturday! default pre-rankings is all i need hahaha
Yeah I don't expect many people to be there, but it was the best available time for a decent amount of people.

It's hard to get a live draft in when everyone's in school/working or both.

[xbrokendownx]

yeah its my friend's 21st tonight, so i think ill be too drunk at 11 to draft a ockey team haha i pre ranked though, so hopefully i come out with some good picks

[kg00d]

Anyone care to break down the format of this pool, i have no idea what the emphasis is really on. If its really in depth or not.

[fromwithin]

we-ooooooooooooooooooooo I can't wait.

[Broken Parachute]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'll be there.

[kg00d]

I think I'm just gonna let yahoo pick mine for me, i'll do the rankings but i'm gonna be out. No money is involved so its alright if i do bad.

[bigmike]

I might not be here for it. if i get back in the middle of the draft, can i get into it then or do i have to be there from the start?

[Broken Parachute]

I might not be here for it. if i get back in the middle of the draft, can i get into it then or do i have to be there from the start?
I'm almost 100% sure you can enter in late.

[hockey0001]

i wont be able to make it, hopefully the pre-ranks will come through for me

[LostSymphonies]

i'll fucking be there, yeeeah

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I might not be here for it. if i get back in the middle of the draft, can i get into it then or do i have to be there from the start?
you can enter late. yahoo will auto-draft for you until you show up

[JezisHChrist]

It Won't Let Me Join The Draft?!?!

[Broken Parachute]

Shit, my team is pretty not special.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Shit, I'm pretty happy with both of my teams.

I should draft for myself more often. Hopefully I didn't play favorites too much....

[justinevans]

so yeah, my team looks pretty good in league 1....fucking blows in league 2...i guess that happens when you have the 14th pick and the comp is drafting.

[JezisHChrist]

I made a lot of risky picks. Hopefully they work out for me.

[justinevans]

I think Kyle Calder could be a sleeper.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I think Kyle Calder could be a sleeper.
It's a possibility. Or you just hope, since Philly gave up ZEUSSSSSSSS to get him

[kg00d]

damn i got some nice picks for not being there for the draft.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

damn i got some nice picks for not being there for the draft.
you got Cristobal Huet.

[kg00d]

you got Cristobal Huet.

my goaltending is pretty shit but other than that.

[Broken Parachute]

I have Roloson and Fernandez. Who to start...hmmm

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I have Roloson and Fernandez. Who to start...hmmm
unless I set it up wrong, you start both.

[kg00d]

I got my big pool coming up tuesday, $200 entry, $1500 payout to winner.

[Broken Parachute]

unless I set it up wrong, you start both.
Rly? Awesome.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

my goaltending is pretty shit but other than that.
Nah actually you got a pretty solid team. I'm SO psyched with my teams in both league #1 and league #2.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I got my big pool coming up tuesday, $200 entry, $1500 payout to winner.
Damn. If I wasn't broke-ass poor, I'd want in on that.

[kg00d]

Nah actually you got a pretty solid team. I'm SO psyched with my teams in both league #1 and league #2.

Ya we'll see what happens, i think i ranked crosby #1 or #2, can't remember and i got him.

[kg00d]

Damn. If I wasn't broke-ass poor, I'd want in on that.

Ya its pretty sick, me and lots of friends meet up at a bar every year, do our draft there and its manged through officepools.com, its really competitive each year.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Ya its pretty sick, me and lots of friends meet up at a bar every year, do our draft there and its manged through officepools.com, its really competitive each year.
I actually managed to draft only two non-Sabres from the Northeast division:

Meszaros in both leagues, and Paul Mara in League #1. I'm so awesome.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

So I'll get Darcy Tucker off my team no matter what? That's all I care about.

Yahoo autodraft took him third round, ahead of a lot of my better guys.

I told bigmike last night, I think you're going to win. You have the best team on paper. Your Centers and Wingers can carry your team alone, yet you have good DMen too haha

I still like my team. My whole thing isn't picking the superstars early and filling out with role players, but rather picking 17 guys who will contribute to my stats every single night.

Like, aside from Ovechkin and Iginla in the one league, I don't have any guys who are locks to put up 40 goals, 90 points, whatever. But if I have 13 guys putting up 60-70 points, and you have 1 guy with 100 and the rest with like, 50, who wins?

I like having linemates on my fantasy team, it worked for me last year in my friend's league. I have Henrik and Daniel Sedin, which is good because they're gonna have a lot of points between them.

[xbrokendownx]

anyone who picks justin williams, matt cullen, or darcy tucker is doomed to a slow, painful death

I got Tucker on autodraft, first thing I did was drop him haha

[justinevans]

anyone who picks justin williams, matt cullen, or darcy tucker is doomed to a slow, painful death

hahah y?

[xbrokendownx]

hahah y?






justin williams and matt cullen are thee 2 biggest divers/bitches in the NHL, and darcy tucker is a cheap bastard

[hockey0001]

my team is alright, but it was auto draft so thats to be expected. But my team is already better than last year since i have 2 starting goalies already

[justinevans]

justin williams and matt cullen are thee 2 biggest divers/bitches in the NHL, and darcy tucker is a cheap bastard

oh well yahoo picked them for me, so they will die a slow painful death. well williams they picked.

I have the Sedins in the league that you don't. I'm tempted to trade for Gaborik to go with Demitra in the league you're in.

[Broken Parachute]

I have the Sedins in the league that you don't. I'm tempted to trade for Gaborik to go with Demitra in the league you're in.
I'm sure if you did that it would work out. Gaborik is a great player either way.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I'm sure if you did that it would work out. Gaborik is a great player either way.
Yeah but...do I want to give up Iginla? Because I don't think Hemsky would be enough to pry Gaborik away from kg00d...he's too smart for that.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

bernie said he'll do whatever he can to get jeter the batting title.

Mussina is the pitching coach today lol.
Wrong thread?

[justinevans]

Wrong thread?

yes, yes it was lol.

[Broken Parachute]

Yeah but...do I want to give up Iginla? Because I don't think Hemsky would be enough to pry Gaborik away from kg00d...he's too smart for that.
That's true. If it's for Iginla, I probably wouldn't do it.

I'm not sure what to think about my team, and I was one of the few people that were actually there. Goaltending is set for me. On offense I've got Selanne (90 points), Lecavalier (75 points...should have a better year this time around) and Spezza. Then I've got a lot of players who are a gamble (Frolov, Havlat, Tkachuk, Malkin, Zherdev). If all goes well I'll be stacked.

That's what I was referring to. A big stack of your players have question marks on them. If it works out, you'll be very happy with your draft haha

[kg00d]

It's not worthy money so why not gamble. I would have if I was there for the draft.

[bigmike]

Michael Nylander? anyone? anyone?

I could use a winger in return.
