I haven't watched a game since Patrick Roy retired. Has much happened since then?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I started watching hockey about a week into the season last year.

I'm gonna take a pass on fantasy this year.

Hah, don't watch regular season either.

Put me down as a backup-/in if slots don't fill up.

Any way to get playoff pools going? I miss those.

Also torts. Also heard Sedins may be blocking shots this year which sounds to impossible.

OK great we'll give it a go!

Everyone who said backup or tentatively /in are currently officially in as that gets us just to 8 now which is a pretty respectable league.

I created the league in yahoo so shortly I'll be sending out a PM asking for email addresses for the league invite.

Some tweaks to the yahoo default scoring:
-Positions: 2C, 4W, 4D, 2G, 5Bench
--instead of 2 LW, 2 RW, I instead changed it to 4 W - wing position isn't really as rigid as positions in football or baseball, and since we have some people that don't follow hockey religiously it should make roster management a bit easier for everyone.
--added an extra bench slot (5 instead of 4) since we'll be a smaller league.
-"Positional" stat categories (G, A, +/-, PIM, Hit, Blk) - removed PPG and shots, replaced with Hits and Blks - reasoning is to balance out the offensive and defensive stat categories a bit. PPG are already counted in goals, and total shots is kind of a lame category anyways.
-"Goalie" stat categories (W, GAA, S%, Shut out) - these are default.
-League is H2H- one win - so just like the fantasy baseball league right now. You'll get matched up weekly, and whoever wins the most stat categories gets a win for the week.
-Snake draft
-Roster changes (add/drops) can be made daily up to 5 min before the players game begins. But only 4 additions can be made each week.

Any questions or any suggestions for changes let me know. I tried to set it up more as a fun league and less "hardcore".

We need a draft time so post here and let me know what good times are. The season starts next tuesday October 1st but league week 1 runs through october 13th so we can draft a couple days into the start of the season and delay the start of the league a few days if we need to. I registered the league with a draft time next sunday the 29th at 7:00 PM eastern so we can use that if it works for everyone or change it, whatever.

I'll be /in if we want to try to get another person for 10. If not I'll fill in if someone wants /out. Never done fantasy hockey before though I know a decent amount about the game. Go pens!

We have 6 confirmed in the league right now (Me, Drench, bv310, CES, scotmany12, Trollie)

1 outstanding invite is Kmd.

Neither kats or SK have sent me their email yet, we're going to need 1 of them to bring us up to 8 teams.

Based on feedback,
draft is now scheduled for this Sunday the 29th at 3:00PM Eastern
. If that doesn't work for anyone, let me know.
