Good day gentlemen. If you were in the league last year I have sent you all an automated email asking you to sign up again. If you weren't in the league and want to play, go to this link:
http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/register/joinleague?.scrumb=
click "Join Custom" and enter league ID #188717
and use the password, "hockey". If you dont have a yahoo acct you do need one, but it only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
I think last year we had 17 of a max 20, which was awesome, so hopefully we'll get a good turnout again.
Now for the important stuff...
Lst year people complained that there was too much of an emphasis on goalies and D (shoulda picked Vokoun and Thomas then suckas) and it left those without decent goaltending wayyyy at the bottom of the league. Well, I think goaltending and defense are pretty fn important in hockey, but having fun is allright too. I havent changed the scoring settings yet, but when I do I'll try to make it a little bit easier on the goalies, so the main thing is wins, with less of an emphasis on goals against.
ALSO, Booche and I and maybe a few others discussed the option of having a keeper league. Anyone interested?
Finally, Live draft on tues Sept 29 at 8 est. Im only on dial up at that time, so Im out, but Im confident in the computer getting me good picks. The date isnt set in stone, but I figured tuesdays are prolly good for most...unless 90210 is still on the air and it's on tuesdays and its a new episode (or even a really stellar repeat, eh guys?
Anyway, my fingers hurt. Help make all this typing worth it, and sign up. I have a title to defend, bi-otches!
