Training camps starting this week. Regular season starts first week of October.

I'm interested in running a mafiascum fantasy hockey league this year if there is interest. /in below if you are interested. We'd probably need at least 8 for a league.

cmon I know there are more scummers who are hockey fans.

I've got tickets to 4 games this year so far - 2 in pittsburgh, 1 in columbus, and 1 in buffalo. Anyone else planning to go pound on some glass this year?

i go to a lot of rangers games.

also id be down to invite non-scummers if we are desperate for people...but i think we gotta have more peeps who like hockey. what about all you canadians out there (DGB!!!!)

Probably going to a few Rangers games this year.

I haven't watched a game since Patrick Roy retired. Has much happened since then?

You guys forgot to type '/in'

What kind of points system for the league?

Probably yahoo default but I'd be open to suggestions/alternatives if it got more people to play

Works for me.

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

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

I live near Vancouver so... #PlayoffBellyFlop

/in

Devils fan but might have to support Vancouver too because their AHL team is in town now

I like hockey but I haven't really watched anything besides playoffs. I'm going to make a conscious effort to learn the NHL this season. So yeah /in for last place

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.

I'm in basically the same boat except with mismatching time zones too so basically I'll backup /in?? And yeah watch me fail

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!

The more the merrier!

Could we potentially do the draft earlier on Sunday? I'm in the UK teaching so 7pm Eastern is Midnight my time. any chance we could do like 3pm EST/8pm my time?

Not a problem for me. Anyone else have a problem with an earlier time on Sunday?

Sunday is good. The earlier the better. I'll join the league when I get to a computer. My phone doesn't seem to want to let me join

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, . If that doesn't work for anyone, let me know.

I'm not sure if I can make that time. I'll try to find out asap
