CA Fantasy Hockey Rookie League.

[icehog3]

If there is enough interest, I will have a second league for newcomers and any alumni who want to play in a second league.

Regarding the second league:

Minimum of 10, maximum of 12 teams, Rotisserie style scoring, auto-draft with ability to pre-rank players.

Same stakes as last year....everyone sends 2 Premium cigars to the winner, and one to second place. This is a commitment, please do not express interest if you (A) will not be interested in playing a full 9 month season and (B) will not be up for sending cigars to the winners in May of 2010.

I am looking for people who have been at CA (or we know from CS) for 6 months, only so I know the players are in for the long haul. Sorry to anyone with less time here.

Please express interest here if you are interested in the second league, or ane an alumnus who wants to play in both.

Excellent, Marianne!

I will be off the air for the weekend, we could use up to 4 more players who meet the qualifications. I will look to set the league up on Sunday night or Monday and PM you all instructions on the free sign up.

[MedicCook]

Thanks for doing the leg work on this Tom.

I will get the league set up later this week, and send you all PMs with league and password info. :tu

[GHC_Hambone]

So in a semi-related question, does anyone know how to pre-rank without being in a league? Or do I have to wait until I actually join?

You have to wait unless you are already on a Yahoo team, but I will give y'all several days from the invite before making the league "draft ready".

I know it was completely random but I love how silverfox gets the #1 pick and he's the last person it. We won't mention Tom's draft position either :rolleyes:

Should have put Heatly higher on my draft rankings. Getting him in the 3rd round by cigargal was a steal.

Can't wait to get the season started :banger

The randomizer strikes again! :r

The draft order is picked at random by the computer 1/2 hour before draft time...Remember that in a 13 person league, the person who gets the #1 pick also does not "pick" again until 26th, so if does its best to even it out.

I wasn't particularly thrilled with my draft here, I was much happier in the Alumni league...and I agree, Christos, Heatly in Round 3 was a steal. :)

[icehog3]

Marty Brodeur and Roberto Luongo lasted until Round 3 as well.

[DrDubzz]

I'm pretty happy with my team, I probably couldn't have drafted it that well on my own

[Cigargal]

heh....looks good to me, but what do I know?

[Waynegro1]

I'm still at the hosptial, I hope things are ok for my team. I guess it will just auto pick my players?

I wonder what I got, I'll have to take a peek.

Marty Brodeur and Roberto Luongo lasted until Round 3 as well.

Very true. Brodeur should have at least been a first rounder :2 Someone did take Osgood in the first :r love the automatic picks!

Ok not bad, pretty happy with my team.

[MedicCook]

Who got Gordie Howe?

[icehog3]

Very true. Brodeur should have at least been a first rounder :2 Someone did take Osgood in the first :r love the automatic picks!

I ended up with Backstrom (Minnesota) before Brodeur or Luongo was picked...I did a piss-poor job with my pre-ranking. :mad:

Hopefully an old-time BOTL. ;)

Not that big as issue when your home team has Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Franzen, Fippula, Holmstrom, Hudler, Bertuzzi, Kronwall, Rafalski, etc, etc, etc....... :r :r

Yahoo had an IR designation last year, which allowed you to pick up another player until he was taken off.

Quick question if anyone knows. If I leave in a player that's day to day, and he sits out the game, does it count as a game played? Or is yahoo smart enough to know that they didn't play?

[SilverFox]

Hmmmm

Not sure if its a question but there isn't much to do is there, other than manage your team. Replace guys that suck, watch for injuries, that sort of deal. I am assuming yahoo does the rest?

[icehog3]

Yahoo does everything besides wipe your players little behinds, Shawn! ;) :r

[icehog3]

Whaddya talking about? I figured I had just peaked early! :D

I think it is going to be ultra competitive. ;)

Did I win yet?

Yes, you did, Ryan...in your head. :r

[MedicCook]

Yes, you did, Ryan...in your head. :r

My team has a few holes in it I think.

[DPD6030]

My team has a few holes in it I think.

Like Swiss cheese?

[SilverFox]

I am still not sure about this Ovechkin guy

[MedicCook]

Like Swiss cheese?

I think at goal I really need help.

[DPD6030]

Trade out for a different goalie. The season just began though, I'd give it some time.

[MedicCook]

I was looking at the free agents and not much to choose from. I also have 2 from the same team currently.

[GreekGodX]

Luongo gets pulled from the game in the second period. 667 sv%. Wow.

[DPD6030]

I was looking at the free agents and not much to choose from. I also have 2 from the same team currently.

I'd drop one that usually doesn't play starter and find another. :2

[GHC_Hambone]

Luongo gets pulled from the game in the second period. 667 sv%. Wow.

I was watching that game. Ouch! He really got lit up. Not such a good start to the season for the Canucks.

[SilverFox]

I swear if Ovechkin doesn't pick up his game I am trading his sorry Ass.;s

[icehog3]

I swear if Ovechkin doesn't pick up his game I am trading his sorry Ass.;s

I will give you Sergio Momesso and a box of tape, Shawn. :)

[Cigargal]

My boys are moving up! whoot!!

[SilverFox]

I will give you Sergio Momesso and a box of tape, Shawn. :)


A full box??

[icehog3]

A full box??

Either that, or I could throw in Alexei Zhitnik and Peter Zezel. ;)

[SmokeyJoe]

I swear if Ovechkin doesn't pick up his game I am trading his sorry Ass.;s

You could always just DROP him... maybe pick up Matt Cullen or Justin Williams? :r

[icehog3]

You could always just DROP him... maybe pick up Matt Cullen or Justin Williams? :r

And give up Momesso???? Don't be ridiculous, Joe.





:r :r

[SilverFox]

Damn

Losing ground

Life at the top is so fleeting :sad

[MedicCook]

It's a long season Shawn.

[DPD6030]

Heck I dropped 8 places since Oct. 1st. :(

[GHC_Hambone]

No better feeling than leading the league in assists and being last in goals. :rolleyes:

[GreekGodX]

Anybody want some defenders? :D

[JohnnyKay5]

Damn.. last time I looked I was 13th.. now 3rd.. woot!

[icehog3]

Damn.. last time I looked I was 13th.. now 3rd.. woot!

You were actually in 1st a few days ago...but it's early.

In the past, I have led the league here almost all season only to finish out of the top 5 ....and I have languished near the bottom most of a seadon only to move up to 2nd in the last few weeks.

Moral here: It's a loooong season. :)

made a few adjustments today.. bottom line i'm just glad my drafts werent a waste since i really dont know whos who in this league anymore... all the legends are leaving. The days where you could easily name a few superstars on every team are gone.

[DPD6030]

Thinking about dropping an injured player but it's d2d so I'm holding out.

[DPD6030]

Amazing what a week can hold. Went from 11th place to 4th place. :tu

[MedicCook]

I did not have a ton of games this past week.

[Goz]

Finally making my way out of the basement.

[Bigwaved]

Would one of you in the rookie league post the standings for the rest of us that can't see them? It would be cool to see how things are going for all of you.

i looked at my team yesterday and realized my starting goalie, RW, LW and a D were on IR.. that might have had something to do with it

[MedicCook]

I have the leading scorer and nobody to help him out.

Delightful, my team came through with a -10 rating today.

nice going, M.

Thank you, D. I have no idea what I am doing:r

[SilverFox]

Can someone in the league do me a favour. What is my yahoo username?

I cleared my cookies and I can't for the life of me figure it out

I have an account that I thought it was but damn if that works.

If you can check it or send me an email at whatever email is listed that would help.

I need to update my rosters.

Thanks

[SilverFox]

Phew finally figured it out.

I don't usually use an underscore.

Back in taking care of my team

[Bigwaved]

Thank you, D. I have no idea what I am doing:r
Doing what Al Davis wants his team to do. :tu

[SilverFox]

Ok can someone who has a much larger brain than me explain how the scoring works on this system.

How can one have 7 goals and 4 assists
Be plus 4
Goalies even (1 win 1 loss)

And drop 2.5pts

Is it based on a total number of points for the entire league and then your relative position within that range of points changes???

:confused::confused::tf

[icehog3]

Shawn, click on "standings" in the dropdown menu from the "league" icon. That should explain how the points move every day.

If you were 1 assist ahead of me, and I got 6 assists last night, I would gain a point and you would lose a point in the standings, notwithstanding what everyone else did. If Joe was one win behind you and his goalies got 2 wins last night to tie you in wins, that would be another .5 point. Now multiply this by all the teams and hopefully you can see how it works.

Let me know whatever other questions you have if that doesn't clear it up, Shawn.

[GreekGodX]

Can't wait for Ryan Smyth to come back. One more week :D

[SmokeyJoe]

Had a down night last night... hope my guys turn it around. I am enjoying third place right now! :D

[icehog3]

Reference the current message on our fantasy hockey page:

League Notes
Fantasy Hockey is on an Olympics break February 15-28. Please see the Help section for more information.

This should not have any effect of us as we are not a head-to-head league.

Great season so far, good luck to all after the Olympic Break!

[MedicCook]

Am I still in last place? I have not checked in a couple months. :r

[icehog3]

11th out of 13...hard to do well when you don't check your line-up, Ryan! :r

I'd be leading at least one category, eh? :r

[SmokeyJoe]

Ain't gonna be me, Shawn and Marianne are too far ahead for me to catch...Rookies kicking butt!

We may still have a chance, Tom... the leaders are using up their positions awfully quickly. We have a limit... and in at least one category (utility), Shawn has used up a season's worth of eligibility. He also only has five more games of Center points available. :D

[SilverFox]

Hard to say where the finish will be..............I just lost my utility category to games played.

I think the standings will change a lot as people use up positions.

True, but the deeper we go into the season, the more difficult it becomes to make up ground, even with the extra games. Shawn and Marianne have a pretty substancial lead, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility for others to move up.

[JohnnyKay5]

ouch, i forgot this thing is going on.. havent updated the team in a few months, im sure im in last....
