[Cydney]

In again for another go. Am I just dumb, when is the autodraft?

[King of New York]

My fantasy football team is 0-3. Y'all are gonna love having me in the league :0

[Suburban Rhythm]

In again for another go. Am I just dumb, when is the autodraft?

Once we have 12 teams, I'll give us an extra day in case anyone wants to update their rankings, then I'll run the draft.

We're up to 8 teams so far...where the hell is Team Pumpy??

[JeeberD]

I'm going to keep bumping this until bbor signs up...

Updated title, just for you Jeebs

[RendeR]

Just give me all the Sabres players from the past few seasons, including Havlat Pyat and Dumont, that should do me.

Setting up this draft was rediculous tough. So many good quality players and so few true super stars/sure things.

[bbor]

IN!

Silly Americans inviting a Canadian to play :D

When was Havlat in Buffalo?? Maybe during the lockout season--he vacationed in Buffalo? ;)

We are at 11 teams...so bsak, that last one is yours, unless you've already claimed one. Someone needs to represent the Flyers.

[Dr. Sak]

Okay...i cant get in while I am at work but I will sign up once I get home.

When's the deadline for setting draft cards (ie, the draft)?

[Suburban Rhythm]

When's the deadline for setting draft cards (ie, the draft)?

If I set the draft to ready Monday morning, is that enough time for everyone? Sooner? Later?

Also, anyone with any thoughts on the scoring categories, I'm open to any changes.

[Simms]

Also, anyone with any thoughts on the scoring categories, I'm open to any changes.

Too many offensive categories, IMO. In a perfect world, I'd get rid of PPG and PPA and just use PPP ... ditto SHG and SHA. Really, short-handed points are rare enough that it's kinda silly to track them at all. My preference would be to get rid of SH points altogether, but if we're going to use them, at least combine them into SHP. I'm assuming FW = Faceoffs won, which has never struck me as a great fantasy stat, so I wouldn't mind seeing that go as well.

But that's just me...I'll roll with whatever the masses want. :)

I have no problem combining PPP and SHP.

Faceoff wins...I just added to have a different category. We all know (relatively) who the point producers will be, this just adds a little more strategy to it.

But, same as above, everyone else wants to drop it, I am fine with taking them out.

[King of New York]

Simms' suggestions sound good to me, and Monday is fine.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Setting up to draft tomorrow morning.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Your auto draft will be completed between now and 11:59 PM PT on Friday, Oct 5

what the fuck...am I ordering cable here?

Draft complete. Rosters in.

Come pick up all the free agents while the gettin' is good.

Wow...I got slammed at work around January...and just never checked my lineup...and then after that, I figured it wasn't worth it anymore.

OOPS

Who is back for another season?

[TazFTW]

(w)In!

[bbor]

[samifan24]

I'd like to join. Let's get the MetroHo players in here!

Also, I have an off-board friend who loves hockey but has never played fantasy hockey before. Would you guys be willing to let him join as well?

[Travis]

Count me as willing to run a team.

[Saul Goode]

I was the Bronze, Exploding Methlabs, it was a blast count me in.

[JeeberD]

I'm willing to lose again...

[bbor]

I'm willing to lose again...

You got that right :D

[Suburban Rhythm]

Maybe a few switches-- from Roto to H2H, adjusted the starting positions a little.

We can switch back to roto, eliminate positions, add/remove scoring categories if anyone has a problem with them.

Edited- change from sh % to SOG as offensive category.

[samifan24]

Just joined. I like the Roto idea since I'm stuck with head to head in football and baseball. Of course, it's not my call.

[Suburban Rhythm]

I'm open to either...go with a majority rule.

I can change any of the settings up until I hit the draft button.

I've set at 14 teams, but can adjust that down (or up, which seems unlikely).

[TazFTW]

I vote roto.

[bbor]

Joined!

[Travis]

Hey guys, if any of you are interested I've got a league up that I was hoping to get 10 local owners for, but with the draft being tonight I'd like to fill up the ranks a bit.

Settings will be staying as is, and as mentioned, the draft is tonight (and a bit late for the eastern members), but we've got a couple that are auto drafting already, so that wouldn't put you too far behind if you're willing to go that route.

I'd like to do a live draft, if possible. Travis, what time is your draft tonight? (I live on the east coast)

[Travis]

I'd like to do a live draft, if possible. Travis, what time is your draft tonight? (I live on the east coast)

Our draft tonight starts at 8:30 local (mountain) time, so I think that'd be 10:30 for you. I can't imagine it'll take much more than an hour though (hopefully).

[samifan24]

Our draft tonight starts at 8:30 local (mountain) time, so I think that'd be 10:30 for you. I can't imagine it'll take much more than an hour though (hopefully).

Ok, I may be there. Can you post again around 10 PM if you still need owners? If I see that you do, I'll join if I'm around.

[Travis]

Ok, I may be there. Can you post again around 10 PM if you still need owners? If I see that you do, I'll join if I'm around.

Thanks, will do. My only concern right now is how it'll handle things if we have an odd number of owners. Right now we have 8 but I'd like 10 or 12 so I'll be doing some checking around tonight to try and find at least one other so we can hit double digits.

[samifan24]

Ok, I joined your league, Travis.

[Travis]

Alrighty, we need at least one more team, anybody interested?

[samifan24]

Alrighty, we need at least one more team, anybody interested?

If 10:20 rolls around and we're still at an odd number, I'll drop out.

[Travis]

If 10:20 rolls around and we're still at an odd number, I'll drop out.

Thanks, hopefully that won't be needed, I've got a bunch of invites out.

[Travis]

sorry samifan, it's telling me we can't draft due to an odd number of teams already. I'm guessing we'll have to bump our draft time as it is, but would you mind dropping out and I'll try and figure something out once I see what avenues are available?

[Travis]

Hey all, delayed our draft until Sunday night at 10:30pm EST. We've got room for up to 3 owners, but we'll be making sure we're at an even number of teams 45 minutes prior to draft time (as they nix your draft half an hour prior to your scheduled draft time if you have an odd number of teams).

Sorry for the hassle, I'm totally blaming yahoo ;)

[Suburban Rhythm]

BUMP

We've still only got 7 teams in the FOFC league. I'd like to get to at least 10.

[JeeberD]

Ack, sorry for slacking. I've signed up now...

[Suburban Rhythm]

BUMP

We are up to 10 teams

I'm going to give another day or 2, see if anyone else is interested in getting in, then draft either Weds night or Thurs morning.

[samifan24]

Any chance we do a live draft?

[Suburban Rhythm]

Any chance we do a live draft?

I guess if we could get everyone to agree to a time. But, assuming we want to draft before the first few games in Sweden this weekend, we've got about 3 days.

[Travis]

I guess if we could get everyone to agree to a time. But, assuming we want to draft before the first few games in Sweden this weekend, we've got about 3 days.

I'd be good for tomorrow night pretty much anytime after 7:45est (not sure how many east/west coasters are in the league, but I'm not off work until 7:00est). Friday I'm pretty free and clear for the same time frame but Thursday I've got hockey (I'm fine with autodrafting if need be, but would definitely prefer a live draft if it can be coordinated).

[samifan24]

I can also do tomorrow after 7 PM or Thursday after 7 PM.

[boberot]

Wed late evening is cool for me -- although I edited my draft list pretty heavy and could live with an autodraft.

[vtbub]

I'm the Glades. I'm working the next two nights so I can't live draft. Let me know the night and I'll edit my list accordingly.

[Suburban Rhythm]

I can't live draft tonight. Possibly tomorrow night.

My only suggestion would be, if we decide to go with autodraft, I hit the button sometime soon, to make sure we draft relatively soon.

[boberot]

At this point, my instinct is to autodraft soon as well -- trying to organize a live draft now might be tough.

Don't the European games start the 4th?

[Travis]

Why not see who all would be around for a draft tomorrow night, and if at least 3/4 of the league can't make it, then go auto?

Myself, I'd be good for 7:45est and later and if it's up for discussion my Saturday is pretty flexible if that'd work better.

[samifan24]

I could do a live draft on Friday night but not Saturday night. I'm thinking we just have to do an autodraft now, which is okay, but I rarely change my rankings because it takes too much time. A live draft is much preferred is enough players can make it.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Yep, the Euro games are on Saturday afternoon.

I'll look for a consensus here, but i think the safest way to go is auto draft.

I can check back later and hit the button tonight...or first thing tomorrow morning

[JeeberD]

I won't be able to do live, so I'm auto either way...

[Suburban Rhythm]

I can set up a live for 8:00 tonight EST...and whoever shows, shows...

Or just hit the autodraft button.

Let me know

[samifan24]

I'll pop on here shortly before 8 PM. Hope we have enough owners able to attend that we can do the live draft. If not, at least we'll have full rosters tonight in time for this weekend's season opening games in Europe.

[boberot]

Might be able to draft tonight -- if not [like I said] I'm heavily pre-ranked, so autodraft is cool.

[Travis]

I'll be around and hoping to live draft.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Bad news

I went back to create the draft for tonight...and no longer have the option.

This morning at about 7:30 I could have chosen tonight, but no longer can choose 10/03.

First available draft date would be tomorrow, so we'd most likely miss the first game.

So, autodraft? If I run now, we should have rosters by tomorrow morning.

[Travis]

Sure, fire when ready.

[samifan24]

I say autodraft. It isn't as much fun but at least it's fair for everyone.

Also, this is a head-to-head league. Is the time period a week, like in baseball and football?

[Suburban Rhythm]

H2H, daily changes allowed.

[samifan24]

H2H, daily changes allowed.

That's one of the few things I don't like about fantasy hockey. It just gets to be too time consuming to change your lineup every single day.

[Suburban Rhythm]

That's one of the few things I don't like about fantasy hockey. It just gets to be too time consuming to change your lineup every single day.

I am do a work league this year, and the consesus was weekly. I like being able to bench a hurt player, or underperforming player, after a game, rather than forced to wait out the week.

DRAFT IS RELEASED! Hopefully we've got rosters in the morning.

[boberot]

Anybody know how long it usually takes to autodraft?

Yahoo is saying it could be as late as Tuesday night . . . ?!

Not that happy with my keeper situation but I like my forwards.

bbor wins goalie. :rant:

[Suburban Rhythm]

Kapanen's goalies aren't too bad either.

Although, nothing can beat what I have in my work league-- Osgood and Fleury. I should be good for about 80 wins easy.

Overall I am happy with my team. I ended up with Gonchar...but got Letang.

Edit to add-- Taz, I don't think Garon is that bad. Not an elite, but 30 wins isn't a stretch.

[samifan24]

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with my team. I have a couple of forwards I don't know much about but I'm hoping they turn out to be high upside guys.

[boberot]

I'm pretty happy with my "french connection," too. No real superstars after Ovechkin [unless you count cover boy Rick Nash], but lots of solid scoring guys who have good +/- and contribute PIM -- which is just what I was going for.

Goalies are hopefully going to be sufficient, if unspectacular.

[bbor]

And off we go............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Travis]

Wow, I have to call that a great auto draft for me. No Flames, got Hemsky and a nice late round pickup in Carcillo.

Now then, who wants Toskala?

[samifan24]

Wow, I have to call that a great auto draft for me. No Flames, got Hemsky and a nice late round pickup in Carcillo.

Since you're an Oilers fan, can you please tell me more about Sam Gagner? I have him on my roster and by all accounts he had a pretty good rookie year but I know little about him. Where does he rank with the good, young center prospects like Kyle Turris and the guys in Phoenix?

[samifan24]

Boo yeah! Mats Sundin in the house!!!

[Hurst2112]

Have a question...

This is my first year doing yahoo fantasy hockey. I'm in 3 leagues just for the heck of it (1 with guys I know in the Minneapolis music scene).

Why do they count PIMs?! I lost my first week partly because I lost the PIM category. Wouldn't it make sense to reward the team with fewer PIMs?

[bbor]

It's a challenge to find guys who get lot's of PIMs and can score the odd goal also.

Guys like Bob Probert or Al secord were the bomb when it came to this.

[Hurst2112]

that's what i was thinking....15 years ago!!! lol

[samifan24]

Any ideas how Yahoo determines if a player is on the IR? Marc-Andre Fleury has been out for almost two weeks now but is still only considered "day-to-day." How does IR work in the NHL?

[Draft Dodger]

Any ideas how Yahoo determines if a player is on the IR? Marc-Andre Fleury has been out for almost two weeks now but is still only considered "day-to-day." How does IR work in the NHL?

teams can have 23 players on their roster. if a player is injured, they can put him on the IR (minimum IR time is 7 days) and replace him on the roster.

the problem (for fantasy leagues) is that teams don't always put a player on the IR - if he's coming back soon or if they had roster space already (it's not uncommon for a team to carry just 22 players normally).

[samifan24]

Does anyone need a goalie? I have Luongo, Biron, Fleury and Clemmensen and am looking to deal one of them for a goal scorer. Please make me an offer.

Also, I notice that there doesn't seem to be much roster activity in the league of late. One team still has Selanne active and he's been injured since mid-December. How many of you are checking the league at least once a week?

[RendeR]

I tend to hop in and reset my lineups for weeks ahead then ignore it, which is why I keep falling behind =)

[Travis]

Actually, I'll chime in too. Anybody looking to move a defenseman? I've got some depth both up front and in net (can definitely look at any deals for people needing help at C, RW and G).

[boberot]

I check in on a regular basis.

[samifan24]

I check in on a regular basis.

Every time I see your username I think of Bob Errey.

[samifan24]

I don't understand why Yahoo didn't combine this week (2 days of games) with next week to create a more balanced schedule, like they did with the first two weeks of the season.

[boberot]

Every time I see your username I think of Bob Errey.

Now that you mention it, I probably will too.
:)

Not that you asked, but when my kids were little I used to improv these long bedtime stories. They would just evolve night after night. One of the more popular ones was about "Pluggy and Boberot," names the kids came up with out of whatever crazy gray matter kids come up with stuff.

[Suburban Rhythm]

I don't understand why Yahoo didn't combine this week (2 days of games) with next week to create a more balanced schedule, like they did with the first two weeks of the season.

Yeah, kind of curious as well. My work league is weekly lineup changes, and minimum 3 goalie starts, which, maybe 2-3 teams will earn this week.

I sent a msg questioning it, doubt we'll get a (good) explanation.

[Travis]

When I checked my leagues today there was a disclaimer stating that if your league has a goalie minimum that it'd be disregarded this week. One of my leagues is daily changes, the other weekly and both had that disclaimer.

[samifan24]

Playoffs, woo hoo!

Congratulations to Travis, who held the top spot in the league for almost the entire season. I surely hope I don't have to play you in the playoffs.

[samifan24]

Congratulations to Travis for winning the league title. He led the league for most of the season and it was only fitting that he won out in the playoffs. Congratulations to "French Connection" (boberot?) for a second place finish. I finished third. The only thing that's frustrating about playoffs in a head to head league is that I was second for the entire season and suddenly I lose one week and I'm in third place. Oh well. I had a lot of fun in this league. Perhaps next year we can do a live draft league?

[boberot]

Yeah, nice job Travis.

Talk about cruel irony.

I kicked the "'bulin wall" to the curb after he was injured for a while and ineffective in his return.

Dude came back and posted like 7 wins, 2 SOs and a sub 2.0 GAA in the two week championship and pretty much turned the tide.

You had a pretty good club too, Sami.

Pencil me in for next year if you guys are going again.

Hope your teams fare better than mine [Sabres] :( .

Thanks guys, it was a really fun season. Would have rather seen the Oilers kick MacT to the curb in January and then make the playoffs, but if they're going to suck then I may as well at least enjoy the fantasy season.
