All teams are in...what say I make us "draft ready" this weekend?

Let me know if there are any objections. :)

Make it so. :D

I object to going to work today. It will not be pleasant.

[Shaerza]

I am ready for a draft whenever

[icehog3]

We are draft ready.

[GreekGodX]

When are we drafting?? I need to make some changes to my draft list!

[gpugliese]

When are we drafting?? I need to make some changes to my draft list!

October 1st IIRC?

Oh, are we doing a live draft this year or autodraft?

[icehog3]

October 1st IIRC?

Oh, are we doing a live draft this year or autodraft?

Autodraft....do you want me to change it back, if you have not pre-ranked? I can.

I will change this back to October 1 to be fair to all.

[gpugliese]

I've already pre-ranked, but a live draft might be cool if everyone is around.

[icehog3]

I've already pre-ranked, but a live draft might be cool if everyone is around.

Just too hard to coordinate, Greg....wish it were feasible.

[GreekGodX]

I finished my preranks :tu all set to go.

[Shaerza]

Gone all of draft weekend again. Guess I will find out sunday what pickings you all left after the draft =p

[icehog3]

Not thrilled with my draft, but hopefully some guys have career years. :r

[chippewastud79]

Did I lose yet? Thanks for arranging the #1 pick Tom ;)

[icehog3]

Did I lose yet? Thanks for arranging the #1 pick Tom ;)

The 2nd highest scoring forward and 2nd highest scoring defenseman from '09-'10? Nice score! :D

[chippewastud79]

I do like my squad right now. Still have problems between the pipes though, as my goalies are suspect. :hm

That's the only position I am pretty happy with. :r

:tpd:

I had a feeling it was going to happen for me because of how I ranked my players :td

[romwarrior]

:tpd:

If Florida can be this year's Phoenix, then it's not so bad. Should be interesting. Can't wait for opening night. Sucks to have to wait for two extra days for the first Kings game, but so happy hockey is back.

[Shaerza]

Can't wait! I get to start the season off with opening night Wings tickets! Its gonna be a good year :banger

Relatively happy with my team here too :r

[Prefy]

Wow been so busy...neglected to do any pre-draft rankings and didn't realize we drafted.

Solid Goaltenders but not sure about the rest of the squad.

[chippewastud79]

I fear I am too close to the top to start the season. I need to start at the bottom, climb into 2nd and blow it all in the last two weeks of the season. :hm

[gpugliese]

I think I went a bit overkill in the goaltender department (tried to learn from last year's issues) but too soft in the forwards. Anyone interested in a trade that needs some help between the pipes?

[GreekGodX]

Don't forget about the different start times for some games due to some teams being in Europe

[jmsremax]

Don't forget about the different start times for some games due to some teams being in Europe


Exactly...some of big ticket guys haven't hit the ice yet.

[Mr.Maduro]

Are there any IR spots? I have a guy on IR, but I can't move him anywhere except my bench.... :confused:

[stevefrench]

Are there any IR spots? I have a guy on IR, but I can't move him anywhere except my bench.... :confused:

I have a goalie on IR. It works, just keep dragging down your player till the DL box opens up.

[Mr.Maduro]

Thanks. It worked this time.

[Shaerza]

Good grief. Half my team is out for 2-4 weeks :td

[icehog3]

Good grief. Half my team is out for 2-4 weeks :td

None of your good players, Dan...just a couple of bums. ;) :r

[Shaerza]

Does the DL slot work the same as the IR slots?

[icehog3]

Does the DL slot work the same as the IR slots?

Not sure what the DL slot is?

[chippewastud79]

Good work by the Sharks yesterday, atleast in terms of Fantasy :tu

[icehog3]

Good work by the Sharks yesterday, atleast in terms of Fantasy :tu

It was Niemi's best game of the season. ;) :r

[Shaerza]

I have two players on IR already. When i drag either of the other two players that could be on IR it gives me a DL slot option :confused: Searching the help, all it gave me was that it is a slot used in fantasy baseball??

[icehog3]

I switched from "classic" to "drag" and see it, but it doesn't appear to be any different than IR, and even disappears as an option when I switch back to "classic".

[Shaerza]

well there arent really any other D or goalies to pickup so I guess I do not have much reason to use the DL slot anyways =p

[jmsremax]

well there arent really any other D or goalies to pickup so I guess I do not have much reason to use the DL slot anyways =p

Those slots are misleading because I moved two people to IR and tried to pick up someone else for the time being and I couldn't because my roster was full. :2

[romwarrior]

I suck. Forgot to set up my lineup yesterday. Two wins and a shutout for my bench. :hn

[icehog3]

I got a shutout and I am still in last place, so count yourself fortunate Brett! :r

[jmsremax]

Is there more than 1 CA fantasy hockey league? Aren't you in 1st? :confused:

[icehog3]

Is there more than 1 CA fantasy hockey league? Aren't you in 1st? :confused:

There are two...I am first in the Sophmore League, and second to last in the Alumni League.

[stevefrench]

I got a shutout and I am still in last place, so count yourself fortunate Brett! :r

That's a real shame, Tom. :D

[icehog3]

That's a real shame, Tom. :D

It will make my comeback that much more dramatic!!



I hope....:r

I kinda wish I couldn't get on all season. :r :r

[Mr.Maduro]

I'm looking to trade for an above average LW and above avererage Defenseman.

Stamkos, St.Louis, Couture, Defensemen, and Golaies off limits.

M. Richards, Tavares, Elias, Plekanec, and others available.

Make offers. Thanks.

[icehog3]

Can we just trade teams, Patrick? :)

[chippewastud79]

Man, my team is just falling like a rock. :hm

[icehog3]

Man, my team is just falling like a rock. :hm

My team ain't got any room to fall! :r

[gpugliese]

I think half of my team is injured for the next 4-6 weeks.

*bashes head against wall*

[icehog3]

All these problems, why ain't I moving up?? :r

[icehog3]

Exciting finish this weekend between Mr. Maduro and Detroit Jackyls! Great season by you two, and everyone.

Patrick and Christos, might as well PM me your addys to send out, I have little doubt you are 1-2....just not sure which order! :wnr

PM sent :banger

I was in the lead all season then things changed. Very exciting last couple weeks. 2 days of games left :tu

[Mr.Maduro]

Almost everyday were changing places between 1 & 2...with only my D-men and Goalies eligible for the last two days, it should be interesting! Great season even though I still don't know how the scoring is calculated.

I also want to thank BWD for denying to trade me Zack Parise before his injury. I probably would've traded Steven Stamkos straight up for him, but now I'm so glad he didn't let me!

[icehog3]

I still don't know how the scoring is calculated.



Click on "full standings". With 12 teams in the league, team with the most in a category (goals, assists, wins, etc) gets 12 points....2nd best gets 11, third best gets 10, all the way down to 1 point for last. Add up each score in each category, there is your total. :)

[GreekGodX]

Looks like I'm going to need some help on the last day to overtake Patrick. Lots of categories that could still have impact on the final points today. G, A, PPG, SHG, SHA, GWG.

Patrick say if you were to not score any goals today or assists but Team Nads scores goals and gets some assists. You would lose 1.5 points in the standings because Nads would have more goals than you and more assists. Minus 1 point in assists and only minus .5 a point in goals because you guys are both at 289 right now.

Unfortunately for me Nads doesn't look like they've changed their lineup in a couple days. If he would have started all his D-men yesterday like he should have, I'd be in first :c

[icehog3]

That's why I ask on Day 1 that anyone who participates stays in for the long haul...those who don't "play" actually affect the league, usually in a negative way...I am not speaking of Nads as he has been a player, but I know every year we end up with a person or two who pretty much quits by December.

I obviously concour. I love fantasy sports and cigars are enough motivation for me to check it everyday to try and win. Perhaps there is some points shaving going on ;) :r

I try to keep up with my team, the problem lies in when I run out of spots to put people in. I tried to get it figured out better than last year but still ran out of C and LW spots a full month early. :bh

In your case Adam that is different because you used all your games played. It is annoying when people leave a large amount of games played on the table. Especially when some categories can be affected by 1 or 2 games.

Well Defense and Goalie I am going to be short, but my guys missed a lot of games by being DTD this year, I wish they would have just been on IR so I could have replaced them :bh

I dont get how everyone but me always manages to keep up with goalies =( I missed draft weekend again and was never able to pickup a goalie that actually played before someone else did it first.

[icehog3]

Congrats to Patrick (1st) and Christos (2nd)! Nice job, Men!! :tu

PMs will go out today so we can shower them with affection...and cigars. :r

Thanks to all of you for another fun year! I appreciate you all keeping the old timer's league going!

[Prefy]

Congrats Patrick and Chistos!

I'm one of the people that didn't keep up with things this year, it was always an after thought being so busy with the IceHogs. I do break my streak of two years in a row in 3rd place though finishing dead last :r

I will try and get the stick out ASAP but end of year stuff is pretty crazy so it might be a week out.

[stevefrench]

Congratulations to Patrick and Christos! Well done, boys. :tu

[Mr.Maduro]

Patrick you won the league, why are you sending the 2nd place guy cigars? :confused: I mean I'll take them but I didn't think it worked that way :r

I'll try and send you something out tomorrow before I leave. Otherwise it is going to be a few weeks before I can send you anything.

I also recieved a great selection of cigars from Stevefrench :ss

[chippewastud79]

Getting mine out tomorrow morning, sorry for the delay guys :tu

[gpugliese]

Mine are going out tomorrow as well.

Enjoy and Congrats! :D

[Shaerza]

Every year we roll around to this part and I continually forget to pack things up when I get home.. Got the bags and boxes in front of the fridge this morning.. so in theory I cannot forget to pack the boxes when I get home this evening..

Patrick - 0310 0480 0002 3837 2289
Christos - 0310 0480 0002 3837 2272

Grats. Was on of the best fantasy battles ive ever watched at the end there

[chippewastud79]

I had DC #'s but misplaced them. They should arrive in the next 2 days. :tu

Patrick - 9405 5036 9930 0077 0164 39

Christos - 9405 5036 9930 0077 0165 45

Congrats to you both and thank you Tom for setting this up again!

[gpugliese]

In your case Adam that is different because you used all your games played. It is annoying when people leave a large amount of games played on the table. Especially when some categories can be affected by 1 or 2 games.

Sorry I missed this. I ended up killing all my available games for all three forward positions with about 6 or 7 weeks left in the season. Did a bit of a mad scramble trying to make up on D, but I was Forward heavy the entire season and that in turn messed up my D games played.

Last year I ended up blowing my Utility games way early, so I tried to avoid doing that this year, which in turn led to killing my Forward limits.

I thought I had set my D up for the last week, but it appears it didn't go through.

:bh

[Mr.Maduro]

Got a wonderful package from chippewastud79 today! Thanks Adam!

[chippewastud79]

Got a wonderful package from chippewastud79 today! Thanks Adam!

You are welcome sir :tu

[Mr.Maduro]

Got two more yesterday! Dan (Shaerza) & Tom (icehog3) sent more amazing cigars! I'm going to be smoking well for quite a while! Thanks again guys!! :banger

[Mr.Maduro]

What an un-freak-ing-believable pair of cigars arrived today from Greg! (gpugliese) Two cigars with a combined 80+ years on them! :dr

First, a Santa Felipa Longfellow (ninfa vitola) from the 60's.

Second, a 70's Partagas Montalto #6 (corona vitola), originally from JJ Fox.

What an amazing prize...totally over the top and way too generous for a cigar-board fantasy hockey league IMO.

Two cigars most of us will never even see let alone get a chance to actually smoke!

[Bigwaved]

These will be at the post office today (sorry for the slight delay):

Patrick - 0307 0020 0004 5426 1464
Christos - 0307 0020 0004 5426 1471

First, thanks for setting this up for us, Tom.

Second, congrats to both of the winners. It was fun to watch the fellas at the top scrapping it out.

Third, who wants to draft for me next year? I picked the hockey version of the Three Stooges this go around. :sl

How about the playoffs so far this year? Did anyone think that the Canucks were going to fold after the late goal in the 3rd by the Hawks last night? Wow...

[Mr.Maduro]

Got Bigwaved's offering today! great selection....Thanks!

On the plus side I have both your addresses when I do :D

Congrats on the win Christos and Patricks and thanks for doing a great job running the league again Tom.

[icehog3]

Thanks Everyone for an awesome season....Less than 3 1/2 months and we will start another season! :D :ih
