Fantasy Hockey Season 2007-08


Recommended Posts

Boffa... go to My Team and pick a date in october... like opening day on the 3rd.

You set up your rosters for that day based on who's playing, their position and whether or not you want them to play that night.

you'll see in the main page (under League) that you are paired up against another player. Click on Match Up and there are stat categories at the top. Whoever wins a category receives one point. Whoever has the most category wins (points) wins.

On second thought though, with my goalies... Montreal better come out strong...

(I have never done a fantasy league... anyone have a quick rundown on how this works?)

Yes, as bayrider said, you'd need to advance your calendar to October before any eligible games show up. Then it is a matter of slotting in the players you want into the active positions. Players on your bench (BN) will not accumulate points so it's best to try to fit them in someplace. You'll find this hard to do on Saturdays, for example, when you'll likely have to make decisions about who to start and who to sit on the bench. Of course the computer probably picked a fairly nice balance for you so you probably don't have a gaping hole on left wing.

You can set up your rosters for the entire week in advance (or even longer) but if you make a trade or pick up a free agent then it will force you to redo all that work. Some people sit with their drafted players more or less and only deal with injuries and suspensions. I am a total player slut that will probably make 100 transactions. Yet, for some reason, I stuck with Andrew Raycroft for most of last season (and we shall not again mention the "trade" involving M.A. Fleury).

Sorry I missed the draft, my internet had been down since thursday until now :( luckily i did pre rank my players, havent checked em yet though.. hopefully i got a few good people

*edit*

just checked em out, some good forwrads, but screwed in the goalie department

I'll spend my 1st place waiver pick on Toews. At least he'll get ice time with Chicago.

I'm still waiting for position eligibility changes....

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Toews has a broke finger.

it looks like he will be back in time for the regular season tho.

Have I mentioned recently that I am getting progressively more worried about my LW situation?

Last year the additional position eligibilities were added before the draft.

I've got less than two weeks before total panic mode.

After waiting patiently for Yahoo to add additional position eligibilities for a very long time, I finally went out to acquire a LWer.

I have a gut feeling that they will update the positions by tomorrow but I was getting a little nervous looking at the big hole in my roster. Just watch me end up with a shortage of Centres now.

I do actually have a surplus of marginal centres but that's only because I'm hoping one is a lucky lottery ticket. If they don't get off to a good start, I may pull the panic button on a few of them. We'll see.

I totally forgot about the draft so I am not happy at all about my team. ANYONE is movable. Make me an offer and I'll probably consider it. Jokinen is probably my biggest asset that I won't hesitate giving up. Just don't totally try and burn me and you'll likely get a deal.

I offered you Brad Richards for someone. For whatever reason, I don't have much of an emotional attachment to Brad Richards. Maybe it's because he plays is Tampa but he just doesn't seem exciting enough to hold my interest. At that high a ranking I'd rather have a guy who can break a game open even if that means hot and cold streaks or risk of injury. I guess that's why I drafted Gaborik against many people's best advice. Brad Richards just seems too reliable for me. :)

I was tempted to ask for Jokinen but I ended up asking for someone lower ranked since I thought that had a higher chance of acceptance.

Both of your offers thus far have been very enticing. Like I said in my last trade comment, feel free to add one of my addies I sent you and I'm sure we can hammer out a deal rather quickly.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
