Fantasy Hockey 2009-10
 

NEW THREAD PER YEAR....!

YOUR Hero always runs it and i'm sure he will again this year. Can we cut some of the plugs? Also maybe some money involved? Even just like $20 would be fun. I would trust Hero with the money for sure. I'm sure we could get some interest even if it is only a few of the guys. I feel like we have a pretty good group of hockey fans here.

I just started up my league I always run, $75. They also have some cool new features this year. The ability to make the playoffs 8 teams instead of 6 and also the inclusion of divisions. I say we should DEF do both. Also why don't we have a 16 team league? Makes for a much better league and guys can't just draft and sit back. I don't know, just my two cents.

Lets get this thing started though.

Im not sure about the money, but I definatly would like to be in it again this year.

I know 20 bones is a lot.

Niggums know I will be taking the championship this season.

Will you be wowing us all again this year, being on the receiving end of some horrific trade rapes?

I'm in.

No, not really but if the league is like it was last season (which I guess it wouldnt be if it was a paid league) I would want to spend the $20 on it

What, did someone tell you I am not going to be allowed in or something?

Nah, it will be strictly ass rapes this year ;)

For money I would do it for sure...


Actually my 80 dollar league is not going this year so this will probably be the only one I do this year and therefore can give it my full attention. Therefore, I want in

So I created a league. Right now I just pretty much defaulted it to last year's settings just so I could get it underway and get a good draft day. Once I have a few spare minutes (not today) I will look at changing up some things if they are warranted.

So far from last year I have not invited the following: (this could change if the person is going to be active)

Gertner, Skippord, Splaya.

Gertner and Skippy, you are both knowledgable but you tend NOT to update your teams very much. If you do wish to be included I need you to promise me you'll be active.

Splaya: Mainly the same thing, as the two above (but to a lesser extent) plus that questionable trade dealing & line up editing. Now, I'm ok with taking you at your word, but there were some managers last year that really thought it was a fix. I would like to get their feedback on your inclusion.

It would be good if the people who did fuck all last season were kicked out. Nothing worse than some guy who signs up, misses the draft and then doesn't check his team for the rest of the season.

I also think those involved in 'fixing' trades should be kicked out. As a game it's good to play hard, be active and to try to win, but cheating to win is just embarrassing.

Scot - can you look at creating an 'even schedule' this year so we don't end up playing some teams 3 times. At the moment with 25 weeks scheduled (does that include playoffs?) that would mean you'd play 3 teams 3 times - which is fine if you end up drawing the teams with the manager who has given up.

Have you cut a bench slot because 4 bench players seems a bit short.

Also, 1 IR slot??? Come on. 2 at least.

Aye. Only people who are willing to be active throughout the season should be allowed to join.

I think moonax is right about having 2 IR slots.

Need 2 IR slots.

Is it possible to move the draft either a week forward or back, as i won't have access to the internet the weekend that the draft is set to take place?

Unless it will inconvenience the vast majority of the other members, in which case it may as well stay the way it is.

That weekend is bad for me as well.

With trades and some people fixing trades is it not better to have commish veto rather than relying on league votes. League votes requires the majority to vote against a trade and with some people not bothering to check the league or their teams it makes it very easy to slip bullshit trades through.

I really don't want a situation like last year where we had people trading players to their friends, benching their goalies when playing their friends etc, because that just makes the league a farce.

Also why not a late Sunday night draft? Some people go out on a Friday and are hung over or like to sleep in. Also people go out of town on weekends as well.

Sunday at like 7 or 8 would be better.

Also can we please make it AT LEAST 14 teams?

14 teams gets my vote as well. Can we have a 26 week schedule so it is even?

Can Fallen Angel be banned for being retarded?

So I added 2 teams, to bring it to 14. I hope it works out. I'm finding that it is hard enough to get 12 active teams. We'll see.

Now up to 6 bench players and 2 IR spots.

Not sure why an even # of weeks is important. I'll look into it.

Note the draft time change as well. Sunday Sept 27 @ 4:00 pm Pacific.

Noooooo, that is an even worse date for the draft for me :cries:

A weekend is fine by me, just not that weekend.

haha... moonax :P

How come 6 bench players?

I WANT IN!

Id like in but Im not too sure about $20 cause Im not the greatest at fantasy hockey but I do promise to remain active.

I promise to remain active and win all of your money. If money is to be won.

I will look into changing it again.

what do you mean why 6?.

That is more than enough.

....I'm not changing it anymore.

:(

That date is fine.

Bring it on!!!!!!!

Cheers ears. That is fine with me.

You should know, Moonax, that I will destroy you. But not before I take my revenge on Mayo, who stole the championship from me.

you going to be around?

My first thought is "where the heck have you been, period"


Tell me you'll be active.

Yeah I mean 6 bench spots seems a bit much no?

That would be what? 21 players?

Not so bad really, long draft though

I'll be active. The guys in the fantasy league that I did for the past two years don't want to do it because I won two years in a row (I had Ovechkin two years in a row ;))

Supreme, will you be playing??!

probably a good idea not to invite me as I always seem to forget about my fantasy teams because I'm a retard

I'm in baby

Just wanted to mention, that LoDownM wanted to join last year, not sure if he has yet. So I wanted to mention it as there is still room.

2 spots left?
