[mathew.poulos]

i'm a n00b when it comes to pools

+1 to this, but with some other guys who know what they are doing this could be fun

[Shinglez]

IM DOWN

If we decided on this earlier we could've done a draft party at a pub or something :(

[MS308-john-a]

Lets do it,

wanna do players (points) and teams?

[S.F.W.]

yahoo pool would be good. But to make it fun we need a decent number of teams, and also people who are interested and would participate/set line ups etc.

[SKYMP3]

Friday night is not good, most people will be out partying, lol including me.

Let's do it online, in person is just getting complicated to make everybody able to attend 1 place all together.

any issues let me know!

[S.F.W.]

I would suggest dropping at least the face off lost, and saves for goalies .
For goalies you already have GAA, ad SV% so tracking saves is duplication.
For payers, it is just too many stats.

[SKYMP3]

We need the league ID.


Agree with SFW
Yes, FaceOff lost is silly, lol
Saves (SV), Save Percentage (SV%) can elminate .
Power Play Points instead of PP Goal and PPA?
How about Penality Minutes?

Hope everyone is playing in the leauge once joined.
Bad experience last year with other group where some people is not playing at all after few weeks and some is trading out their key players to frd's team for them to get in playoffs.

C'mon folks we need at least 1 more team to have an even 10 to start. If I don't get one more person by Thursday I'm going to have to make a decision to cut 1 team so we can get an even number to start. I don't wanna have to do this!

to clarify gents.. what time is the draft.. 11:00 pm correct?

[09ms3]

I am not going to be around for the draft, can I set it to auto draft right off the get go?

this way it goes faster for the people who are there so that my time does not max out on each choice

[trulankan]

to clarify gents.. what time is the draft.. 11:00 pm correct?

yes it is 11pm, hoping it shouldnt take more than 1 hour for everyone to fill out their 18-man roster

Reminder: if you would like to set up your pre-draft rankings, please do so before 10pm as any changes will not be allowed after then as per Yahoo live draft rules. The draft order will be auto-generated and released after 10pm. Good luck guys!

I'm stupid and thought this would take a lot longer then that, 11 works no prob

Tozer's team looks intense with ovi, sedin, hossa, thorton annnnnd chara lol

[09ms3]

pretty happy with who I got, Crosby, Kane, Eric Staal, Perry.

going to be a good season

You too eh, as long as Crosby plays the full season, we all look pretty solid, I hope nash comes through for me since he has players to play with him in New York

[Soulsofmischief]

Im pretty sure that since i didndt get him with the 10th pick in the 1st round, he will most definitely be concussed.

[trulankan]

just a reminder guys, dont forget to set your starting lineups!

[09ms3]

dumb question... how come none of the stats are reporting from last night?

[mathew.poulos]

dumb question... how come none of the stats are reporting from last night?

Idk, they were there last night

I was losing 4-2 lol

[mathew.poulos]

Looks like they are there now, make sure you are looking at yesterday's date not today's

[MS308-john-a]

Vanek with a 5 point night (2 goals, 3 assists) thank god i picked him lol

[SKYMP3]

Currrently 10-0 with the team I'm against.
The other team is not even lining up his players.

Guys, please make your line ups everyday.
You shouldn't join the league if you not participating.

[09ms3]

yeah that kind of sucks when the other player misses the line ups, however to be fair your team is pretty stacked so I think you would be doing well anyways.

I am engaged in a pretty good battle right now, 4-4 and could go either way pretty quick, if one of us has a good or bad night tonight.

oh and my goalies are awful

[S.F.W.]

yeah 07Carbon needs to make some changes..looks like only about half the league is paying attention.

[MS308-john-a]

My lineups are already set till march 30th!

You got Markov, I was searching for him this morning and it's already in your line up.
Is a risk taker as he always on the injuried list.

[SKYMP3]

yeah 07Carbon needs to make some changes..looks like only about half the league is paying attention.

There is no fun if people doesn't care, I'm looking for an exciting battle with other teams. That was why I ask rather money is involved at the beginning, cos people eventually will give up after they drafted. Even $5 or $10 gives people some motivations to log on and make their line ups

[Impressive]

Wish I joined this :(

[07carbon3]

yeah 07Carbon needs to make some changes..looks like only about half the league is paying attention.

oh snap sorry i will fix it today
can i make my line up from yahoo hockey app?

dude tim thomas has been a sitting duck on you roster all this time. also, lupul is out and gardiner was demoted to the marlies. easy week for me.


YOUR goalies! ..F'N Luongo better get some playing time! at least a chance to get some points lol.. yeah its been back and forth all week so far.,

i would drop luongo, he's a distraction in vancouver until he gets traded and won't play as many games as he normally would.

[SKYMP3]

KlassikLeafs (http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/68180/2) is keeping PK Subban and Versteeg for I don't know why. There are better players out there to pick up.

lol yeah players that are actually playing

[S.F.W.]

I would keep Gardiner, and Subban. Both will be back in the NHL soon and have big upside.

[09ms3]

well last day of the first matchup, hope everybody set their lings

going to be some close finishes

[Shinglez]

Well Ami that was a close one towards the end :P You had quite the lead the entire week and I somehow managed to get the tie. I could probably thank the Canucks/Sharks game and all the PIMs haha

[Tozer]

How am I in third when I have no idea what the **** im doing

How am I in third when I have no idea what the **** im doing
Your team is stacked lol they do the work for you

[SKYMP3]

How am I in third when I have no idea what the **** im doing


Just make your line up everyday, if there is a IR, DTD beside your player, check what's going on, if it's out for too long, drop him and get someone else at Free agent, unless it's a super skilled player then it may worth waiting.

[Shinglez]

I don't recall this ever being brought up, but is it possible to have a prize for the winner of the pool? Maybe even top 3? Just an idea and maybe it would be cool to win stuff like TM3 clothing, coupons, etc. Is there any way this can be arranged? haha, just thought it'd be a cool incentive

I'll take that as a no? lol :blush

[SKYMP3]

I bought it up a while ago, result is negative.

[Jim94]

Hey guys its probably late this season but you can use www.officepools.com and a smart way to do it is someone make a pick list with groups of 4 players so you cant pick all the stars and office pools take care of all the scoring and you can change how many point does a player get for goals and assist and whole bunch of other stuff if you guys want an example or anything i can show you guys how me and my friends do it we had like 70 people last year and you can set up prizes too i think we did 10$ each entry and 1st - 5th got prizes and 25th and 50th got prizes it was pretty cool

Let me know love to help :)

[Jim94]

oh and if you guys want a playoff pool you can do the exact same thing for that and still could make one for this year

[trulankan]

I'll take that as a no? lol :blush

if SFW is cool with it

[Shinglez]

Apparently SKYMP3 brought it up and was turned down. Would be nice, especially since the winner would clearly deserve it lol

[09ms3]

too late now, but I find when money is on the table people will pay much more attention to the league

I found overall most people set the line ups consistently, but could have made for some more trades/pick ups to keep things interesting

looks like the matchups are pretty close this week

going down to wire for both semi's

[SKYMP3]

Kari Lehtonen and Martin Brodeur screwed up my Goalie stats in the last 2-3wks due to injuries. I'm settled in 5th place this year. Could be 2 or 3rd at least if they were healthy.
