Would anyone be interested in joining a fantasy hockey league?

Ultimately, yes. I'm in terrible shape to make it out for drafts, though. But I can always pre-set my picks.
I'm doing one tomorrow, and calling in sick. I have another on Friday, actually, with the same group I was with last year. That one is a keeper league, and I'm not really sure how that works, and I'm worried that I'm going to lose my keeper picks if I am not around for the live draft. So I'm not sure what is going on with that one.
But I'd be willing to do a third.

When you say fantasy hockey do you mean imagine what burly men you want to put in skates and where matching clothing?

Or imagine a bunch of hot, scantily clad, nymphos on ice? (which by the way, I have tickets for at my local ice rink)

Both?

Actually I created a league on yahoo. The name is National Hockeying League, the ID # is 49556. Password: hockey

For now I have the draft set for Saturday at 3pm. It'll probably change. If anyone has a date or time that would be a good time for it. Or as Lethal said you can just pre-set your picks.

Something in the earlier afternoon would be ultimately better for me.
Like 12pm or 1pm on basically any day. Then I could actually be there for it.
Or Sunday between noon and say, 5 pm.
Consider me joined.

Sunday would probably be best. I have to go to some stupid event at 1pm on Saturday and before that have an econ test review. So it'll move to sunday almost for sure.

does this mean that i have to learn the names of more than 10 hockey players?

Quite possibly.

I'm in. Go Canucks! Does this league give points for if your player paralyzes another player?

Actually you automatically win the league. Why else would I draft Bertuzzi?

Lethal Interjection · Post by **Lethal Interjection** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 3:40 am

Because he's on a team that actually matches his play-style (sans the paralyzing thing). A Bertuzzi/Iginla/Langkow line would be very tough to play against. Langkow does his share (75), Iginla had nearly 100 hits last season (only Lecavalier and Ovechkin had more in the top tier, I believe) and Bertuzzi isn't shy. If Bertuzzi can get back to form, they'd be a scary line. I hope he doesn't really, because I'd really love to see Cammalleri take his spot in the top line, because I like him.
That said, he's a gamble, that's for sure.
The Flames are pretty much my second favourite team, next to the Leafs, who will be very hard to cheer for this year. C'mon Tavares!

Also, 5 people! Suhweet. All we need is one more so we don't have to deal with irritating bye weeks.

I think i should be there. If the website stop acting out on me.

Oh, you aren't yet. I figured you were, but I never bothered spending the time cross-referencing email addresses.

The other people so far are people that I know IN THE REAL LIFE! I was actually being sarcastic about Bertuzzi, I hate that guy. I'm a Dallas Stars fan so I saw plenty of him this past year.

Which brings me to the point of why the hell are the Stars in the Pacific Division? I hate staying up until after 12 to watch games. Constantly.
