#2 Fantasy Hockey League 2007-08

[Fred Derf Veteran]

This league drafts in one hour.

I did not forget to limit it to 8 players so we are all set.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Well that was a good draft. I'm looking forward to the season :)

My girlfriends great oma's (101 yrs old) health is failing, so I was visiting there, and unfortunately missed the draft. But at least I din't set a partial draft list this time around and got a more varied set of goalies.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

I ended up with about half of the same players as my other league team. So much for diversity..

At least I did get more than 1 LWer this time.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

My team is a lot different actually. Hurrah for diversity!

I think I won the lottery lol. Good luck this season guys! Going to be fun!

[mikebiacsi]

Im very happy with my draft in this league, i think it helped having less teams.

[MikeFu84]

Season starts tonight! So excited! Good luck everyone!

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

One more hour!

[MikeFu84]

Its so close! Go Leafs Go!!!

I had to look up what you guys were talking about. Usually the season doesn't start to Oct 3rd or so.

This year there is a two game series that is taking place in the U.K. before the rest of the season kicks in.

Whomever gets me for the next five weeks is going to have an easier time of it. I'm going to turtle up for a while and hope to get at least one decent defenseman off the IR. I also picked up a third goalie which wasn't in my original plans.

Everyone in the other league seems desperate for a third goalie due to the size of the league (14 players). I don't suppose that overcompensating here will help my other team but at least it gives me some variety. With 8 players we should all be able to carry three starting goaltenders and still have a few left over.

Yeah I really wish I could trade myself a goalie fromthis league...

I've thought that too. If only I could trade with myself.

[mikebiacsi]

The only reason i picked up a third goalie was begause Gigure was injured, other wise i would have stuck with just two. Having said that, Huet wasn't exactly a bad pickup.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

I just gained another IR player and I have a goalie that's DTD who I wouldn't be surprised if he hit the IR too.

So, for those who are counting at home, I have 3 IR players and one DTD. I have none in my other league.

Edit: Lehtonen's place on the IR is all but assured. That will put me at 4 players on the IR.

Waddell said Lehtonen could "be out a while."

I have Shea Weber on IR right now, but it's only 3-6 weeks so I think I'll keep him. Then I have Hejduk on DTD from a sore back, so he should be back soon. He might even be playing tonight.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Well I'm having a bad season so far :(

And Monday's results don't look very nice either...

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

Well, I was drunk and took a rumor as truth and dropped bouwmeister who was doing **** all for me anyways and picked up Forsberg. Does not having a full D line hurt me?

I had (or maybe have) only three healthy D. Will it hurt, yes. Will it kill you, no. You'll mostly notice it on Saturdays and maybe one day during the week. If you have a properly balanced team then you should have all of your spots in use on a Saturday.

Eh bouwmeister(SP!) was doing **** all for me anyways. Might as well have someone who can't lose me the plus minus category.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

I lost several category races on Sunday. I thought I was heading into a 7-3-1 victory but I'll instead have to settle for a 4-4-3 tie. Grr...

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

Thank god he is just gone for two games, ######. I just picked him up.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Damn, I was up by a lot this entire week, and then I go away for the weekend without web access and I wasn't able to change the roster around so now I'm not sure how everything will end up. :(

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

I am doing decently in the past couple weeks at least.
