[Moonax]

Is up and running.

http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey

I think Hero needs to set up the league :)

[El Fangel]

Player movement limit of 2-3 per week please.

[Splaya]

Yeah set it up :shifty:

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Hero hasn't been on since July. Somebody contact that bugger to get his arse in gear, pronto!

[El Fangel]

If he doesnt set it up, I will.

[Champion of Europa]

Let's get this shit rolling. I'm feeling cocky.

[Moonax]

Hero hasn't been on since July. Somebody contact that bugger to get his arse in gear, pronto!

I've sent him an email. He tends to go on holiday into the middle of nowhere in the summer.

[Sean]

Can someone post the league info here so I can get in on this?

[RP]

Those who made the playoffs last year should be automatic invite right? Cause *cough* I made the playoffs last year, first year. Kind of a big deal.

[RP]

Maybe you've heard about my team. I dunno. Slippery Pertrusion will win it all this year.

[El Fangel]

I admit, you did rather well.

[weather vane]

2-3 moves per week makes no sense...

just cap the moves per year

[El Fangel]

That allows people to playoff cycle because their team sucks balls.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

As a top three player three years in a row, with my ascendancy to the pantheon of champions last season, I will smite your ruin across the rink and back.

[El Fangel]

You only won because Perry fucked me over with a hattie and a shp.

That title is mine now.

[Champion of Europa]

I will annihilate all of you.

[Droford]

i may or may not do well

[RP]

I just hope none of my players die on me this year.

[Sean]

Don't draft an enforcer then

[Champion of Europa]

Are we any closer to getting this set up?

[El Fangel]

If this isn't set up by this coming Wednesday, I will set up the league for Sunday the 11th at 8PM EST.

[Champion of Europa]

Fantastic.

[Moonax]

I've emailed Hero again.

I or someone else can set up a new league but it'll mean that we will lose the league history from previous seasons.

[Moonax]

Having not heard from Hero I've set up a league. If he wants to be commish then I can transfer control to him.

I've imported the league history back to 2002 so we've got that.

Draft Time

Sun Sep 25th

10:00pm CEST

9 pm BST

4 pm EDT

1pm PDT

[Droford]

im in..woo

[El Fangel]

I'm not joining since I can't make the draft.

[El Fangel]

Same situation as with the football draft, starts at 5pm and I won't be home till 730.

Won't join a league where I know I won't make the draft.

[Champion of Europa]

Myself and one of my good friends will be in tonight. Never done fantasy hockey before, so I hope we dont get stomped.

[Sean]

Joined

[Moonax]

Well the problem is that if I move it back 2 hours then there is the likelihood that it might not finish for me until 1 or 2 am.

[Champion of Europa]

As long as it's after 830 Indiana time, I'm okay.

[El Fangel]

I have to work 7am-7pm that day, the draft starts at 5pm for me and there is no use in joining an auction league where Ill end up around 8th-10th in because the autodraft was made by a retard if the NFL one was an indication.

[Moonax]

As you wish, seems a pretty weak reason to opt out of a league. Besides, the fun is in playing not necessarily winning. Afterall, you were complaining about people rolling their team in the final week.

[El Fangel]

Moonax, with all honesty even if I WAS knowledgable about football, do you think the team I had autopicked could even MAKE the playoffs? Its goddamn horrible.

I might as well stay in as you guys will be without an active manager but im not very happy about having to miss the draft.

[Champion of Europa]

Joined. Probably gonna change my team name when I think of something better.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Signed up, ready to destroy you all. Has Mayo signed up, yet?

[Champion of Europa]

Just had an excellent mock draft. Boooom.

[weather vane]

K wait what time is the draft? Also what type of draft?

[weather vane]

I'll wait to see if Hero starts one up I guess.

[Moonax]

Hero didn't run the baseball this season so I don't know if he going to run the hockey. I've emailed him etc

The draft is an auction and it's on the 25th Sept.

[El Fangel]

Auction is fun, however I feel it creates a disparity between those who make the draft and those who dont.

With standard, you usually end up with a decent team. Auction is the pluggers people wouldn't bid $2 on.

[Champion of Europa]

I'm gonna join a mock draft and autobid on all of my picks to test Fangel's theory that fantasy hockey autobidding will leave you with a shit team. Gonna post my picks here as they occur.

Budget of $200.

Autobid just gave me Henrik Sedin for $38.
Alexander Semin for $24
Zach Parise for $27
Carey Price for $23
Shea Weber for $27
Ryan Kesler for $25
Ilya Kovalchuk for $25
Milan Lucic for $3
Kari Lehtonen for $1
Chris Stewart for $1
Alex Goligolski for $1
Niklas Kronwall for $1
Joe Corvo for $1
Vincent Lecavalier for $1
Niklas Backstrom for $1
Drew Stafford for $1


C: Henrik Sedin, Ryan Kesler
LW: Zach Parise, Ilya Kovalchuk
RW: Alexander Semin, Chris Stewart
D: Shea Weber, Alex Goligolski, Niklas Kronwall, Joe Corvo
G: Carey Price, Kari Lehtonen
BN: Milan Lucic, Vincent Lecavalier, Niklas Backstrom, Drew Stafford

The computer's autopicked team is now complete. Now, you judge.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

We still seem to have a distinct lack of people in the league at the mo. Somebody hollah at Mayo if he hasn't already created a team. Also, somebody wake up Hero so he signs up as well.

It is a full time job organizing you oiks.

[Champion of Europa]

I have a friend who is going to join us, so that should help.

I've sent invites to everyone from the previous leagues - including the likes of RDD, Adder, Hero, Mayo, etc etc

If you can recruit more people then go for it.

The computer's autopicked team is now complete. Now, you judge.

The fact you got Price for 23$ makes me distrust this. Again, its a mock draft which could skew the results abit. A fair few should be worth more.

[weather vane]

I will go into the league if it isn't a auction draft most likely.

[Champion of Europa]

The fact you got Price for 23$ makes me distrust this. Again, its a mock draft which could skew the results abit. A fair few should be worth more.

I was in the mock draft with four humans and seven computers if that counts for anything.

[El Fangel]

Ah, yeah more humans would be more accurate.

Lucic is good for 50pt, 15ppp, 80pim and is a plus player.

Would be about $20 imo.

[Champion of Europa]

I got him for so cheap because all the human players exhausted their money early on bigger names. The autobid got me some good deals near the end.

[El Fangel]

Yeah, I edited my preset values for players I want.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

What is the auction budget this year? I still had around $30 at the end of the auction last year. So it seemed to be a decent amount we had to play with.

[El Fangel]

Standard is $200 and I think Moonax left it at that.

[RP]

Still room for me?

[Moonax]

Still room for me?

Yes

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Niggums, we still need atleast one more person.

[Champion of Europa]

My friend will be registered by draft day, so no worries on that.

[Moonax]

Hockey draft is this sunday so feel free to sign up.

[RP]

Signing up tonight I swear. If you can, send me invite email again with info. I lost it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

need to get my shit in gear and sort out my draft picks etc.

[Moonax]

Only a couple of days left to sign up if you want to join.

[Champion of Europa]

My team is now is 2 Fast 2 Fleuryous.

[RP]

I won't be there for the draft cause I'll be getting nice and fucked up to make myself forget that I'm watching Kerry Collins play, but I did set prices on about 30 players.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

You bastards had to have the draft at 9pm (GMT) didn't you. I'm going to miss Spooks and Downton Abbey.

Need to sort my draft picks tonight.

[Champion of Europa]

My friend joining got us an odd number of teams, so I had another friend join to keep the draft started on time.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

We could have done with more people at the draft tonight, "lads."

[Champion of Europa]

I couldn't draft while at work :(

[El Fangel]

We could have done with more people at the draft tonight, "lads."

I had my wife do the first 4 players for me then she had to go.

It was honestly the absolute worst time it could have been scheduled for me personally.

[RP]

Can someone post my lineup?

[El Fangel]

Toews
Nash
Stafford
Kane
Kopitar
Glencross
Smyth
Datsyuk
Hall
Williams
Ennis
Karlsson
Seguin
Wideman
Seidenberg
Gonchar
Suter

Kiprusoff
Anderson
Fleury


Goddamn...Nice.

[RP]

Looks good to me

[El Fangel]

Yeah, definitely have some good forwards there.

Also, who was the bastard who upbid Getzlaf on me?

[Droford]

glad I dont have to rename my team Droford is F'ed Again

[El Fangel]

Did you make the draft Droford?

[Champion of Europa]

I'm pretty pleased with my team.

[El Fangel]

I am mostly happy. I got a few questionable autodrafts.

Though I still want to punch the fuck in the balls who made me pay $67 for Getzlaf.

[Champion of Europa]

Yeah, some of my autodrafts aren't great, but the non scoring and assisting categories keep me not so angry.

Pretty psyched to have Shea Weber. I think Jagr might be kinda great this season, too. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[El Fangel]

Stamkos and Ovy, 100+ goals right there chaaa.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

And so it begins!

[Moonax]

glad I dont have to rename my team Droford is F'ed Again

Have you checked your team lately - 3 guys on IR and another guy cut. You ought to maybe update it

[Droford]

Have you checked your team lately - 3 guys on IR and another guy cut. You ought to maybe update it
The popup on Niemi says he expects to play the opener. MacArthur is suspended for 2 games for a hit in the postseason, not cut. I wish yahoo would use an S instead of NA for suspension notices. The other two, Havlat may or may not play the opener and Connolly is pretty much ruling himself out.

Nothing to waste 1 of the 4 weekly moves I have over.

[Champion of Europa]

Fuuuuck. Reimer gave up five goals. To the Senators. But RP has Craig Anderson, who gave up six that game. So, awesome.

Also: Kessel. Hat trick. Bitches.

[RP]

Yah . Thanks Craig Anderson

[RP]

That's 11 goals anderson has given up now.

[El Fangel]

I played Howard and Vokoun tonight and benched Theodore.

:(

[Champion of Europa]

I thought RP would overtake me today because I had no one playing, and he had three. But he didn't start two of them, and it looks like Fleury didn't start. So, win.

[RP]

Glad you remind me. I have two players on the bench about to play.

[RP]

Who is Dont Toews Me Bro

I'll give you Datsyuk and Anderson for Vanek and Crawford

[RP]

Who is Dont Toews Me Bro

I'll give you Datsyuk and Anderson for Vanek and Crawford

[Moonax]

Does anyone know who crista is and whether they are still playing only they haven't checked their team since the end of september.

I can transfer ownership of teams to players who will be active during the season.

[Champion of Europa]

Who is Dont Toews Me Bro

I'll give you Datsyuk and Anderson for Vanek and Crawford

I'll run that trade by him. Not sure how interested he'll be in Anderson, but he is a big Datsyuk fan.

As far as Christa goes, I can check with her to see if she'd like to continue or if transferring will be necessary. I've been on her about checking her team.

[Champion of Europa]

Also, looking to move Jeff Carter. Anyone got anything?

[Champion of Europa]

No go on the trade. He was intrigued, but thinks Datsyuk is falling off offensively and that Vanek is invigorated by the new blood around him in Buffalo.

[RP]

Tell that guy to eat dik for me thanks

[Champion of Europa]

I'm open to trading Jeff Carter :naughty:

[Moonax]

What is the news about 'Bearded Clams'?

[Droford]

Niemi is sucking ass, I cant drop him. Someone wanna make me an offer?

[weather vane]

Droford don't get rid of him. Look at his slow start last year and his massive finish... I made the mistake of getting rid of him because he was terrible at the beginning of the season. It fucked me in the end.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Back where the big dog belongs: numero uno.

[Champion of Europa]

What is the news about 'Bearded Clams'?

I keep reminding her to get on it, but if she hasn't updated her team recently, I just can't get through to her. So, I will not be offended if you toss her.

[Champion of Europa]

Goaltending is putting a fucking murder on me.

Make me an offer. It's stressing me. Reimer and his goddamn delicate head.

[Moonax]

I'll see about transferring the team to RDD.

[Droford]

Im kicking your asses.

*evil laugh*

[Champion of Europa]

Just wait until I've got Reimer, Lehtonen, and Voukun all healthy.

[RP]

My team is fucking talented as hell, but I'm struggling to keep the last seed in the playoffs.

[El Fangel]

Ovy, Stamkos and Getzlaf and sstruggling to get,out of last place.

[Champion of Europa]

My team is fucking talented as hell, but I'm struggling to keep the last seed in the playoffs.

I'm gunning for ya. With my gun fingers.

[Droford]

Im willing to trade Theodore if anyone wants him, can't really see keeping 4 G and I think I like Montoya better, though if you want Montoya I might trade him instead..

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I am open to trading for Theodore.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I am looking for a starter goalie with atleast 11-12 wins. Send me your offers, but Sedin and Perry are off the table.

[RP]

I'll trade Kiprusoff or Craig Anderson. I'll trade Marc Andre Fluery for Sedin or Perry. Send me some offers.

[Droford]

My whole team is gonna be out by the end of the week the rate things are going..ugh

[RP]

Just offered a trade to Winterpeg Jets.

I get Dion Phaneuf

Jets gets Tyler Seguin


Let's do this.

[RP]

Wtf. I thought the playoffs was six teams. It's eight? I was coming back hard for that sixth spot.

[weather vane]

Lol sick trade.

[RP]

Never got accepted. Its like everyone stopped caring about this league except for me or something.

[El Fangel]

I did when I missed the start of the draft.

[RP]

I did when I missed the start of the draft.

Well hey, don't join next year ok?

[El Fangel]

I don't plan to. I participated several years in a row, was the most active and did fairly well but the decision to have a drafting style that is unforgiving to absentees was not one I was particularly fond of.

Unless I am in attendance of the draft next year I don't see me taking part. Which leaves you, mayo, moonax, el vaq and probably droford and 6-7 managers who abandon their teams a few weeks in, likely for the same reasons.

[Droford]

Never got accepted. Its like everyone stopped caring about this league except for me or something.

I put my team on cruise control since I pretty much new I was locked in to the playoffs. My only problem is my goaltending has gone to hell lately but there aren't any goalies FA.

[Indifferent Clox]

Is it too late for me to get in this?

[Moonax]

Never got accepted. Its like everyone stopped caring about this league except for me or something.

It didn't get accepted because it wasn't what I was looking for.

actually the league is pretty active. RDD has taken his team from the basement to the playoffs. The only person who quit was FA and that was because he was too much of a pussy to try to manage his team to success.

[El Fangel]

Starting off with a handicap is not something I like doing. Maybe in a dynasty league where I have more then a year to turn things around but I got autodrafted a pretty garbage team and after several attempts to make trades for a quality goaltender and no one biting I failed to see the point of continuing.

[Moonax]

Not really. RDD started with a handicap, Mayo missed the draft and started with a handicap. They managed their way out of their starting position. The only person who was too much of a pussy to try to manage their way out of it was you.

Quitting because you won't win is the biggest pussy move out there.

[Droford]

cant believe I got steamrolled by the team Im likely gonna play next week to start the playoffs. just..ugh

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Who is sorting out this year's league and when?

Need to redeem myself after a dismal performance last season.

[Moonax]

Just renewed the league.

You might want to start a new thread for the season

[El Fangel]

Schedule if stays on track will have me missing the draft. Fucksticks.

[Moonax]

What works better as a draft day/time?

[El Fangel]

For me, it would be 3 hours later then that. I would just be getting home from work.

[Moonax]

Problem is that makes the start of the draft almost midnight for me. I can move it back 90 mins.

[El Fangel]

Nah leave it. Won't make it better for me at least.

[Droford]

I am in.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Signed on, ready to spank yo' asses.

[YOUR Hero]

I tried joining, but all I can do is view

[YOUR Hero]

there we go

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

How much do we have each for the auction draft? I think it was around $200/230 last time.

[Moonax]

The draft is scheduled for next sunday if anyone wants to join then let me know. Hopefully there will be a season.

[YOUR Hero]

Down to the finals. somehow I made it to the championship.

[road doggy dogg]

I got schooled last week. My team was mad disappointing this year. Hoping for the consolation 3rd place finish at least lol

[Moonax]

I've been a bit disappointed this year. It looks like quite a few people dropped out early - ie FA and really only the four of us were bothering.

[YOUR Hero]

Even baseball (as is the case every year) has a lot of drop outs. So far, it seems ok, but in time, it will become quiet.
