Fantasy Hockey 08-09

Prefy · 02-27-2009, 02:40 AM

Well seems I couldn't get to sleep tonight as I'm hacking like crazy(coming down with a cold) so I decided that I would crunch some numbers to how much of a difference there would be if our pool used the S% stat instead of the GAA stat. Personally I think S% is a more reliable stat when trying to measure individual goalie performance like we are doing in this pool.

Here's what I cam up with:

Take what you want from these stats but I thought it was interesting to see some significant point differences between the two stat. Hopefully my data entry skills are O.K. and I inputted the data properly but keep in mind its 4:35 in the morning.

With only one day left, it looks like we have our winners!!

Congrats to Brett (romwarrior) for winning the 2008-2009 CA Fantasy Hockey!!

Congrats to Dave (Bigwaved) for second place!!

As per the initial post, please send (at least) 2 nice cigars to Brett, and (at least) 1 nice cigar to Dave....

Brett and Dave, I will also send an e-mail out through YahooFantasy. Please PM Brett and Dave for their addys, and please post DC numbers in the thread by April 26th. In 3 previous years of running fantasy hockey, we have only had 3 players not honor their commitment, hoping that number stays the same after this year.

Thank you all for playing, and you 15 will all be the first 15 invited to play again next season. I had a blast, I hope you did too.

There has also been talk of doing a cigar pool for the playoffs. 16 teams, 16 players, Basically, everyone who is interested would commit a 5'er of good cigars. We would then put all 16 teams in a hat, and pull them out, randomly assigning each player a team. We could do something like 10 5'ers for the Stanley Cup Champion, and 6 5'ers for the runner up? PM me if you want in on this, you 15 will get first crack before I open it up to others.

Thanks again, and Let's Go Hawks!

Next season I need to pay more attention to the scoring categories. I drafted thinking the penalty minutes were still in effect.

I had a lot of mad scrambling to do to get rid of my goons and pick some scorers. I think the auto draft machine was broken, too. How else would it pick a broken down fishstick goalie(DiPietro) for a Ranger fan.

PIMs will come back next season, Dave.

I have Patrick, Brett and Albert committed to the playoff pool? Any other current fantasy players want in?
