Ok, hockey fans. Who's interested in a fantasy league? I've never played fantasy hockey before, and I haven't followed the leauge since about '97 or so. That said, I'll be an active league member, and I have the Versus channel this year. Let me know if there are enough of you interested to create a league and I will.

How exactly would this league work? I don't really follow hockey all that close but I think a fantasy league could be fun. I'm guessing it would rank the players for you right? And would this be total points or head to head?

ORS

It's head to heat. Scoring is G, Asst, +/-, Penalty Mins, Power Play Pts, SOG for skaters. Then W, GAA, Sv%, Shut Outs for goalies.

My team is going to be just like the Bruins...hard time finding the back of the net. I think I am doomed.

I'm not in the league, but if there are 10 categories, its how many categories you won-lost-tied in that matchup.

YanksHater213
10-15-2008, 09:23 PM
It's different in hockey. Your record goes by categories won instead of by matchup won.

msubulldogs21
10-15-2008, 09:40 PM
Ahh, I see. That makes sense. So in that case, you could really make up (or lose) a lot of ground from week to week it appears.

ORS
10-16-2008, 06:52 AM
Yeah. In other fantasy sports, they haven't put all contribution on a standard point scale. Therefore, you compete in multiple categories each week. It opens the door to more strategy than in FFB. In FFB you are pretty much handcuffed to the heavy component of the scoring system (yardage or TDs). In multi-category sports, you can focus on a set number of categories or go for a balanced approach.

msubulldogs21
10-20-2008, 10:55 PM
Don't know how many of yall are keeping up, but I have to say, after 2 weeks... my team has been terrible. I still think they are good and will get back on track though. Alfredsson and Zetterberg (my top 2 picks) have been banged up but are back now. Thanks to SOTK, I'm not in dead last though! :)

It's a pretty cool league although a valid gripe would be that PIMs, shots on goal and assists are weighted equally with goals, goalie's wins, and +/-. IMO, there should be a scale where stats such as GAA and goalie's wins are given more weight.

Timmy Thomas...back to back shutouts.

He's one of my fantasy goalies (Melrose Mullets), and the way he's playing...and the way Manny isn't...I could be looking at him starting 65% of the games this year. Even a .500 winning % would mean 25 or more wins...not too shabby. I have the "good" problem now of not knowing which guy to start and having, at least once a week probably, a good goalie riding the pine while the other two play. May have to move one at some point.

ORS
10-30-2008, 06:47 AM
Just so you know RC, there's an IR slot that opens up if your player is on IR. You can put Zubov there and pickup another defenseman to ride out his injury. I'm mulling over an offer for one of your goalies. I may send you an offer later today.

I feel for you...unless you're the guy who pulled off the Pominville and Mezaros for Hossa trade....then all sympathy is off. Was I the only one in the league that voted against that trade?

Marian Hossa is a welcome addition to my team. :thumbsup:

Turco has got to get back on track though. I don't have a whole lot of other options at goalie at this point. I'm excited to have Marc-Andre Fleury now though. He's a stud.

By the way RB, it's a good thing you're in 1st place right now. Losing Brodeur for 3-4 months is a killer.

rician blast
11-05-2008, 11:35 AM
Marian Hossa is a welcome addition to my team. :thumbsup:



That's a huge pick up. I was almost wondering if you were the GM for both teams and were screwing one team for the benefit of the other!!! That, IMO, is an extremely lopsided trade.

As far as Brodeur going down, I think I'm less "lucky to be in 1st" than I am happy that I went after 3 good goalies in the draft and held off on trading one of them. Now I need a huge season out of both Lundquist and Thomas.

No doubt, though, losing Marty was probably the biggest loss for any team in our league so far, since acquiring him in the first round meant foregoing so many other talented players. Bad break for me...we'll just have to let it play out and hope for the best.

When you build your team on goalies and one goes down, leaving you with one clear starter and the other(s) in a platoon situation, it gets very tough.

Good matchup, bro. Pavol Demitra paid dividends this week. If not for Lundquists 8 goal effort I mighta done some damage, but it's good to have a close one too.

Overall I'm pretty happy with how my team has rebounded. I think it all stems from hiring Gus Johnson as coach about a month into the season after getting off to a terrible start. He's really turned it around for us. Coming into this week in my last 9 matchups I'm 8-0-1.

I hope Brodeur's 6 goal performance last week was a fluke, goalies are the key to my team, that's what I built them around.

I think last week I scored 4 or 5 goals...none by Savard, none for Getlaf, time to light the lamp, boys.

That's one thing that sucks about this format...over the course of the regular season it all evens out, but in a one-week playoff, if you just happen to have guys who's teams aren't playing a lot in a particular week, you're fucked. I might have to make moves just to get bodies on the ice.

yeah...I fucking lost because my goalies didn't meet the minimum requirements.

Brodeur and the Devils with a bit of a clunker last night...I am in deep trouble now. After last night I now have 2 or three less goalie starts the rest of the week and 7 less forwards starting. Unless my goalies do something unreal and I steal all 4 goalie categories I am done.

Faaak. I'm down 8-0 already. The clunker from Marty hurts, generally I win my goalie categories. I think I'm going down in flames!

goals is tied, so is SOs, so i'm hoping my team decides to step up there

i'm on the verge of just picking up like 2 fighters and trying to steal that category away

Fkg Rangers sat Lundquist last night...that may have been the nail in my coffin. After running second all year, I'm not too psyched about the prospect of playing for 3rd next week.

In the championsip round...by default I think. I tied and because (I'm assuming) I had the higher seed I move on. Yet my opponent didn't start a couple of guys yesterday that might have made a difference.

A somewhat hollow victory...but I'll take it.

Good luck to ya...but not too much.

Dude, I hear you...the playoff format is a touch unfair, one bad week (after months of dominance) and you're out. Also, you could have a lot of your guys not playing (because their teams are inactive) while your opponent is loaded.

Then again...tough shit.

just kidding.

I had never done fantasy hockey before but this was actually a lot of fun. I fully expect rician to beat me this week, especially getting the shutout on the 1st night but I never really expected to be in the championship to begin with considering I was in dead last a month into the season. Then I changed coaches (to Gus Johnson) and it was all gravy after that. Thanks Gus!

You picked up a goalie win tonight, so we're tied there and you had 1.5 GAA tonight as well...again, I think that leaves us tied. I suspect tomorrow a.m. it'll be tight or you'll have jumped in front. I say it'll be very close.

I was praying for a low, low score tonight as I had Rinne facing Mason. Fortunately it was a good ole 2-1 game. That helped quite a bit. I wish I could make up the shutout category somehow though.

I was just looking ahead at who you have going versus who I have going the rest of the week. I'm a bit concerned...you have a day or two where your lineup is loaded and you have a lot of goalie starts as well. I've feasted on teams that have maybe one starting goalie and then a couple of platoon guys...at this point your goalies are all #1 guys I think. And it doesn't look as though your goalies are being rested either...if the Rangers or Devils decide to give their #1 guys a blow, I'm in trouble...we already know the Bruins are apt to give Thomas some games off as well.

Meanwhile my big 3..PArise, Savard, Getzlaf...haven't been doing much.

I'm down 5-4 right now, but I think it's worse when you consider:

my opponent has 5 goalie starts remaining...I have only 3. He'll likely win the wins category, which means I have to win goals (I'm down by several) and PP points (also down).

Unless somethign dramatic happens, i.e. MSU's goalies give up a shitload of goals or his best forwards don't score, I'm going down in defeat.

msubulldogs21
04-03-2009, 02:17 PM
I don't know man, I think you have about as good of a chance as I do. Rinne and Mason will both be facing Chicago in the next 3 days and I'm afraid one of them will give up 4 or 5. Fortunately tomorrow Rinne and Mason also face each other so as long as they both start, I'll get a win. For my sake I hope it's another 2-1 type game rather than something like 6-5. I saw where you picked up Kovalev which was huge. He got you a big game last night.

Dude, I think you're fine...I have 5 players in a 0-0 tie right now...no goalie though. I'm tanking big time, menwhile you just pikced up a couple of goals from your detroit guys. You'll pass me in save % and goals unless my guys do something incredible tonight...I think the title is slipping out of my grasp!
