Dropping the puck (aka, Fantasy Hockey)

Since the Teeming Minions fantasy football league is a success, I’ve setup a similar fantasy hockey league on Yahoo.

Ice Holes
League #: 8750

Right now, there’s an 18 team limit, but depending on how popular this is, I’ll either raise it to 20, the maximum, or lower it accordingly.

There will be a live draft on Thursday, September 28 at 9:50pm ET (6:50 PM PT). If you can’t make the draft, you can pre-rank the players, who will be selected automagically for you. If there’s a lot of conflict with the draft date/time, I can adjust as needed.

I am so in… not positive about the draft time though. However, I should be available sometime after that to help everyone else work on their concession speeches.

That’s two of us.

C’mon people, no one likes hockey?!?

I’m in.

This draft I can attend; sounds fun. I’m in, since my SDMB football team is getting their asses kicked week in and week out.
Maybe I’ll have better luck with hockey.

I’m in, and ready for the draft. I’ll sign up later today (once I figure out how).

I’ve never tried fantasy sports, but I think I know enough about hockey to pull it off. I’ll check it out in a bit.

Sure, draft day is the day i start my bowling league… But I’ll give it a try…

I’d like to play. Later today I’ll head over there and take a look.

I’m in. I’ll try to make the draft. As long as I do better than I’m doing in the fantasy baseball league, I’m happy.

I’m in . . . as always, the Improbable Probables.

Monty, to avoid the hell that was draft day/night for Satan’s league, I recommend a league of no more than 16 teams.

We’re at ten teams now. I’d like to have 12, so if two more people want to join, please do.

The draft is a week from tomorrow night, on 28 September, at 9:45pm EDT.

The draft is tomorrow, Thursday night, at 9:50pm EDT.

Ready for the draft in a couple of hours.

I went to my work PC for a better connection so I am ready to KICK BUTT!

Anyone know the pick order?

It’s the order you signed up for the league. I’m first, since I’m the commish.

Psssst - Commish…

I’ll give ya 5 bucks for the first pick.

:wink:

Actually, since I’m not 100% sure who I’ll pick, I’m willing to trade it. Which number are you?

S’ok - i was just kidding… I’ll pick third I think…

Does the last pick take two players then the order is reversed back to #1 and so on?

(I’m such a rookie)

Yeah, first round is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
Second round is 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

So, myself and #10 get to pick consecutively, then wait forever for our next picks…

So, then, we want to be number 5 or 6 to pick . . . that seems like it’d get the best picks.
