Hal Johnson Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Goals Against should be a negative value, and should have a higher weighting than saves. I'll crunch the numbers and recommend a scoring system that will put the top goaltender close to - but not beyond - the Malkins/AOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 In but nooooooo to a keeper league. We had enough issues with trades last year, a KL would simply create too much animosity. Especially from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm in. But where can I change my setting for an auto-draft? I will be in Beijing on draft day and won't be able to do it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Sorry but there will be no Rainbow Unicorn action this year (though it would have been nice to do a Swayze hat-tip with the famous Chip'n Dale centaur on a unicorn avatar). Last year's mediocre showing proved that you kinda have to be able to follow hockey fairly closely if you want to have a bit of a shot at doing well. It'll have to wait 'till i'm back in Canada again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ok, I think I have a scoring system that looks good. YES or NO, does this look like a reasonable mix of positions in the top 25 (for last year):F Alexander Ovechkin 212.8F Evgeni Malkin 186.25G Niklas Backstrom 171.4F Jeff Carter 169.95F Zach Parise 165.9G Miikka Kiprusoff 160G Henrik Lundqvist 157.7F Sidney Crosby 156.55F Ryan Getzlaf 156.2G Cam Ward 155.1G Tim Thomas 153.4F Eric Staal 151.45F Pavel Datsyuk 150.8G Tomas Vokoun 148.5F Corey Perry 148.05F Marc Savard 147.05F Ilya Kovalchuk 146F Mike Richards 144.05G Ryan Miller 143.8D Mike Green 143.3F Mike Cammalleri 143G Marc-Andre Fleury 143F Alexander Semin 142.8F Marian Hossa 142.2F Daniel Sedin 141.516 forwards, 8 goalies, 1 d.
