only 5 playing forwards, and of them can play whichever position?? sweet

Don’t forget about the “Util” position — can be a forward or defenseman, but only fools use it for d-men.
VAYOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thank you for complimenting my league set up. But I think you’re understanding is wrong. The forwards are mostly position specfic (i.e. C, LW, RW). You won’t be able to play all 5 centers or all 5 left wings on one night…

oh, i got that. but i assumed since the list just says “F” , it means you can pick any forward to play that?

That’s true. Any C, RW or LW can play inside that one “F” spot.

S’ok, I’m just a baby at this.
I like diving into a bunch of data to analyze, but OTOH, I hate paying attention to the fucking Eastern conference.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
that’s how i feel about most of the western conference…
i found out last year that you can do well in fantasy hockey even if you are completely unaware of everything… i drafted two players who end up going to khl during the season

Yahoo’s pre-draft listings aren’t terrible, except when it comes to backup goalies. But when you’re drafting, they have a nice feature where you can see where (on average) each player has been picked in earlier fantasy drafts.
That’s probably the easiest listing to go off of — if you have no clue, use that.

my strategy was to draft players i like. or who’s existence i could remember without having to be reminded of it.
and filatov would’ve totally kicked ass if the jackets’ coach wasn’t being bitch… /bitter

Ha, yesterday morning I did the fantasy draft for Mirtle’s super league — Mirtle, Puck Daddy, Spector, Forechecker, PJ, eight more bloggers, and about six staffers at the Globe and Mail. That one’s intimidating.
Fortunately, though, I wasn’t the sucker who drafted Huet — I have nightmares about doing something like that in front of those gents.
Nope, I was the sucker who drafted Niittymaki — win that job, you idiot.
VAYOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I may do a comprehensive post on that draft — I do it every year — so I won’t spoil it all.
But I did do some dirty picking — I have Heatley, Niittymaki, and Justin Williams. Offset by Lubo, Koivu, McElhinney, and Fowler.

saku? i approve this team ;)

Last year I broke fantasy rules and was punished severely — my goaltending was so poor (Toskala, Harding, Biron, and Greiss) that I finished 3rd to last. And even though our draft yesterday went incredibly deep, none of my foursome was drafted. :)
So this year I overcompensated — we were given three keepers (one had to be a defenseman) so I pre-started with Malkin, Heatley, and Pronger. But my next three picks were all goaltenders, and now I can compete once again!
Or I’ll find I over-neglected scoring this year. Either way. :)

ow, that goaltending :(
i hope malkin will kick ass this season

I have not so distant memories of him cheapshotting Mitchell and Simmonds. So there you go. :)

And sadly, Mirtle didn’t add “cheapshots” as a category this year.
He did add “Blocks”, though — what a stat geek.

You’re not making this easy huh?
Being a Sharks fan also obligates me to choose Perry. :)

Don’t worry — seems every year I’m going in rather blind.
PJ texted me at the start of the draft yesterday to ask me for an online fantasy guide — I hadn’t even gotten that far — I knew what I was doing with my first pick, but beyond that it was completely open.

I’m hoping to actually make it to a draft this year (with being in three this time, I should be able to make one of them) – but I at least try to set up my preferred list thingy cause with the boys, I just can never commit myself to being online

I’m going to be a little bummed if it was some random lurkers who signed up and not regular commentors from the BoC.
:::sigh:::

have everyone claim their teams. So we can get to the bottom of this.
the jig is up lurkers.

I looked up one of the new entrants — has one total comment here at BoC. But still, we never set any requirements. We’ll just have to beat the snot out of these teams until they beg for mercy in the comments.
Or maybe they’ll win and brag.

Sorry…i’m the perpetrator. i used to post more in the old blogspot days (the truth, i promise) but i’ve been pretty much just a frequent lurker lately.
If anyone really has a problem w/me being in the league, i can drop out. Don’t wanna piss anyone off too bad. Was and still am looking forward to it though.
Hey kle18!
No worries – thank you for signing up with the league. If anything, I hope your participation in the BoC fantasy league encourages you to read/comment more often here as the new NHL season unfolds!

If anyone is still looking for a league, I’ve just put up a post with the access info for another Yahoo league I’m in. Everyone is welcome.

I want in on both damn it! Are they both filled up? I’m going to try to acces the link via iphone. =/
I’m afraid the BoC league is already filled up. Hopefully you can access Meg’s league in time today!
