[Chewy]

you too, chewy

Thanks man I suck at these but it is fun. Thanks

[Rick Derris]

This is my first fantasy league. Hope all goes well. :p

[YankeesSuck]

I'm in too.

[Chewy]

Looks like we got 4 teams…. well three teams and one wish for the Bruins to take the cup. But that’s what life is like in Boston wishing to win something. :D

[a7x1337]

6 teams atm. ideally we'd have 8, but 6 would be fun. more all-star loaded teams.

dont forget the draft tomorrow (today)...6:30 EST. hope you all can make it

what happens if we can not make it, I mean some of us live in the Pacific Time Zone so we will be at work when the draft starts. Is that gonna be an issue?

[a7x1337]

if you dont make it, the league auto-drafts for you. it has a pre-made list of it's projected best players, but you can make your own draft order if you are so inclined.

but yeah, sorry, 6:30 was the latest available slot i could make.

EDIT: IMPORTANT. max teams changed to 8. if we dont get one more player, i will take the last spot. but as it is, we need an even number of players to have the draft.
i doubt we'll get more than 8, anyway

[AsHopeDies]

I'm in, played last year, was pretty fun, got me back into hockey

[a7x1337]

sweet, so we've got 8 now.

if anyone else wants to join in, post and i'll change it to 10 teams. otherwise, we're set.

[322]

fuck the league is full :(

i wanna join!

[a7x1337]

fuck the league is full :(

i wanna join!
max teams changed to 10 just for you :p

[Burningnun]

I too would like to join...

[a7x1337]

I too would like to join...
you can ;) there are 10 openings now, room for you and 322

[Rick Derris]

Fack, I won't be able to make the draft. Be nice, and give me Kipper, and Iggy. :p

[bluesheep]

Yeah, I'm not gonna be present come draft time either, we'll see how things go...

[Burningnun]

Draft time might be past my beddy time :p

[DetachablePenis]

Can i join? A bit late I know but I won last year. So yes?

[a7x1337]

:mad: dammit, 3 teams are going to miss it.

i could change it to tomorrow, but the latest draft tomorrow is 5 pm (EST)...

and Mr. Penis, yeah, you can. if 322 comes on between now and the draft, i'll just change it back to 12 players :p

[Burningnun]

I don't actually care if i miss the draft I did last year and did OK then. Since I am going to bed quite early at the moment with A levels and stuff I will most likely miss at least part of it anyway, so don't change anything on my account.

[322]

ok im in! srry i had classes

[a7x1337]

ok im in. just trying to figure out how to pick the players
well, the live draft is today at 6:30 EST. if you cant make it, go to 'my team' and click 'pre-draft player rankings' if you would like to adjust the yahoo automatic draft order.

im 70% sure I won't make it, so I will try that. thanks.

no problem.

i dont think there's a limit, but you need two centers, two lw, two rw, 4 d, 2 goalies, one utility, and 4 bench players

dont forget guys, it's in 45 minutes

[322]

I have a question about "bench" players

Do they not earn points if they are "benched"?

if so, Can you move them to their regular positions on a daily basis, so in other words do you bench the players who are not playing on that specific day?

[AsHopeDies]

yeah, they don't earn you any points on the bench. So you want guys in the lineup who are playing that day, and if you have multiple guys in each position playing on a given day, you have to decide which one to play and which one to sit. Basically you have to set your lineup for every day of the week.

I can't give them up, unless you step up the trade deal, and remember I think we need 4 D.

Tonight playing, i got:

Daniel Briere (Buf)
Justin Williams (Car)
Milan Hejduk (Col)

[a7x1337]

[322]

i wouldnt be suprised if somebody had zero players. only three games. but all three should be good ones.

[Chewy]

wow, i only have one player going tonight...:p

I'm counting on that to push me ahead..:D . BTW when is the weekly cut off?

[a7x1337]

im not exactly sure, but i'm assuming each week starts sunday or monday. we'll find out, i guess :uhoh:

and chewy, any deal proposals that would send gomez my way? :cool:

i'm also interested in gionta, bluesheep.

if either of you want to lay a deal on the table involving either of those players...

[Rick Derris]

I have 7 players playing tonight.

Sundin
Morrow
Brunette
Liles
Kaberle
Turco
Emery

[Chewy]

I'll send him your way either Chara or Jovo.

[a7x1337]

Jovo.

thanks, bro. gomez, brodeur, elias and gionta are my favorite players in the league. 3/4 now :D

[Chewy]

soooo how does that work now??? do we have to wait for the trade to take place? Do they have to pass a medical? Or can we just click on something? WTF?? How do you accept it?

[a7x1337]

haha, i accepted it. i think it takes a day or two to officially go through.

you don't have to do anything else.

[Chewy]

[Rick Derris]

Woot, Sundin on a penalty shot.

Fucking thing went in, and it's no goal. Jesus?!

That's fucking goal, and I'm up a goal now.

Woot, it's a goal. :D

I need O'Neil and Tucker to produce tonight. *fingers crossed*

[a7x1337]

i just realized, now that it's too late to change it, that it's kind of gay having penalty minutes as a deciding factor in these games...

[322]

why haven't the stats updated on the League List (the list which shows all of us, like a rankings board)

the league is head-to-head. at the end of each week, whoever won the head-to-head matchup will get a win.

You mean you JUST realized that?? Friggin hell that's why I have been trying to get the whole backbone of my strategy.

lol it was me who didn't know.

I jumped into this pool at the last second, he had to increase the limit to let me in. i'm a little behind :bigwink:

anyway Salo scored a few minutes ago :cool:

Yeah Slao scored as did Nazzy and so did tucker... guess who benched Tucker tonight :banghead:

[Rick Derris]

It was a good night to have some Leafs on your team. Let's see if Iggy can do some magic tonight. :bigwink:

[a7x1337]

so, uh, i'm glad i dont have vokoun

7 goals on 25 shots

[Rick Derris]

Iginla stoned on the penalty shot. :(

Vokoun sucks. That's why Kiprusoff beat the shit out of him. :bigwink:

Damn, Sakora... 1-0 Oilers. :(

[a7x1337]

woah, i forgot i had havlat on my team.

2 goals, 2 assists :)

[Rick Derris]

Added Sykora to my lineup. He impressed me tonight.

[Chewy]

I went with the wrong Sedin last night.... :banghead: man seems like everyone I bench in favor of another player costs me 2 goals... that being said why am I ranked so high? Looks like I'm losing the head to head//

i think the rankings in the beginning are just random - i dont think they matter.

anyone know why zherdev isnt playing? :banghead:

[Chewy]

Tonight is my weakest night this week... if the tide turns it will be done tonight. :ohnoes:

[322]

what is up with your avatar?

[YankeesSuck]

I got too many good players on my team.
