Neowin's Official Fantasy Hockey League

[BroChaos Veteran]

yeah, this first week or 2 is gonna be wacky. no clue as to who is still good, who lost it, and who the new up and comers are.

[R-Flex]

d'oh...I drop ryder (mtl) and he got the game winning goal for the first 2 games and has 3 goals already. :argh:

My Sportsnet Fantasy Hockey League had me thinking, "Hmm, Bergeron and Ryder could do well...Nah, better not." D'oh!

Back to our league, I'm doing very well so far, but my goalies are very weak, Kiprusoff needs to prove himself.

[BMac]

I'm so disappointed at Calgary's play thus far.

P.S. I'm still looking for a few trades so please pm me guys.

[R-Flex]

I made a number of moves, hopefully can pull me out of the rut I'm in. Of course, Thibault, Nash, Smyth, and Havlat all being out didn't help either.

[BMac]

No one wanting to talk trade? I'm still looking to get a centre so let me know if you want to trade.

[Steffan]

wtf? yahoo deactivated many players that are currently playing, like Prucha, Crosby, and Ovechkin.

[BroChaos Veteran]

hmm, thats weird....just a bug? they were having tons of problems with the NBA leagues a week or so ago.

[Steffan]

it must have been a bug, the 'NA' is gone from their names

[mikebiacsi]

I wonder if u guys cud give sum advise, im currently reviewing my goalie stuation in my fantasy league. At the moment i have Garon(LA), Lehtonen(ATL), Emery(OTT) and Khabibulin(CHI) as my goalies. I was wondering what i should do, should i try and get rid of Khabibulin or should i keep him and get rid of somebody else? Im tempted to get rid of him maybee trade him for someone else but i wanted to know what you guys think i should do.

Thanks guys.

you have 4 goalies? hmmm, is that helping? i only have 3 right now. i feel like i'm always short on D guys...

[mikebiacsi]

I normally have three but i got Emery from free agents when Khabibulin was injured. Even before he was injured i had thoughts on getting rid of him. I rely on Garon and Lehtonnen as my main goalies and then whoever else as a reserve. Im not quite sure whether i should get rid of Khabibulin and get a forward (which im lacking a bit) or keep him and hope he improves and get rid of Emery for another forward.

[BMac]

I have 2 goalies because there are only 4 goalie categories on ours and 13 player categories. It's merely a numbers game to me. I'd trade a goalie for sure.

[mikebiacsi]

I can't believe it! I was beaten to 3rd by one point! :angry:

[BroChaos Veteran]

are you in our league or a different league?

[mikebiacsi]

Different league, i did want to join the neowin league but was too late. :pinch:

[BroChaos Veteran]

ah, doh, that sucks. i was confused, cuz i'm in 4th place in ours :p

[Steffan]

I got second place by 6 points. Team Mac has kicked my ass all season long.

[R-Flex]

At the start, I was last. I worked my way up to third, including defeating Team Mac and the SteffanHARS handily once each (although they did well against me in other weeks).

Now, it looks like I'm going against the SteffanHARS in the second round of the playoffs. This is going to be difficult, because I lost Sami Salo, Erik Cole, and Marek Svatos to injury, plus my goaltenders are not playing so well. But I'm confident that I can put up a fight to the end at least.

[BroChaos Veteran]

dude i'm about to go yardsale.....just pickup whoevers hot, even if they are not good overall, because Mac looks pretty tough.

[mikebiacsi]

Yeah i lost Cole aswell, which was a big blow. Im through to the second round of the playoffs in my league, i only just scraped through. Im not up against the top team in the league which is gonna be tough.

dude i'm about to go yardsale.....just pickup whoevers hot, even if they are not good overall, because Mac looks pretty tough.

I just did that myself, just picked up Stumpel and i am waiting for Frolov to clear Waivers, i should have him by tomorro which will be handy, i need to get my goals tally up into double figures.

[BMac]

Holy cow BroChaos I thought you had me last week. I won by like 1 goal and a few shots. Wow it was close. Great job man.

[BroChaos Veteran]

thanks dude....it really came down to the wire. i knew i put myself in a position to pull the upset, but i came up just short on sunday night. good luck in the finals.

[bayrider]

well we need to get more people in! i remember back before the strike, our annual hockey thread had TONS of active members. anyone talk to bayrider? he's a big hockey fan.

A little late BroChaos, I'll make sure to sign up next season. Dunno how I completely missed this. Must have been the subforum that had me overlook it.

[BroChaos Veteran]

hey BR. whats up man? :p

sad you couldn't get in. next year for sure. next year i'm winning it though dammit.

[R-Flex]

I can win this thing, but my players need to step up. Team Mac is frustrating me absolutely.
