Straight Dope Fantasy Hockey anyone?

Anybody interested in a fantasy hockey league? Yahoo has head to head, rotisserie and fantasy point leagues. I was thinking head to head with a live draft.

Taking suggestions and input. If it is a live draft, when is the best time for you?

I’m in. Of course my rabid love of the Wings might bias my picks, but with their line-up this year that may not be a bad thing. As far as a draft, As long as it’s not 9-5 monday through Friday I can do it.

Of course! Is it already time to register for that?

A word to the wise - go Yahoo, not Sandbox. My Sandbox football league draft crashed in the middle of the first round. I think they’ve just been bought out, and they don’t seem to care anymore.

And need we say more about who the best hockey fans in the world are? The first three people posting to the fantasy hockey thread are Wing Nuts.

Opening night, third row at Nassau Coliseum. Red Wings in town. Should be a great game. And no Islanders jokes. Even a fight-crazy Cro-Mag Red Wings fan (and yes, you all are…) has to appreciate the Isles’ offseason moves.

Count Me In…let’s go Blues!

The draft if Thur. the 27th. at 5:50 eastern. It was the latest draft I could get. The league ID is 7680. The password is of course Cecil.

Go Wings!

The Rockville Crows are in the house. Err, on the ice.

Anyway, Yahoo’s telling me the draft is at 8.50pm PDT on the 27th, which is almost midnight on the east coast. Is that correct?

Go Crows! Go Flyers!

The VanLandry’s are in… Although I’m a Bruin’s fan, I dont expect to have many B’s on my team.
See you at the draft.

I can’t really take offence at the Red Wings comment, but the Isles signed Cashin to a 10 year deal. I’m willing to bet that by the 4th year of the contract he will hold out.

If I can make the draft, I am in. Go Stars!!!

Bebop Slapshot checking in!

Go Kings!

The Furious Flurries are in. (Team Motto: “Try saying that five times fast.”)

LadyIce … my info here says the draft is set for 8:50 p.m. PACIFIC TIME. Which would be 11:50 p.m. Eastern Time.

No problem for me, as I’m something of a nightowl anyway. But I imagine it will create difficulties for a lot of other people.

Mmmm … SDMB fantasy hockey … Miss Creant and Geobabe naked on skates at center ice, holding hockey sticks … I’m the ref, they’re hungrily eyeing the puck in my hand … yeahh …

Excuse me, I need some time alone now. :wink:

Boy, that’ll teach me to do vanity searches!

Ok, this proves that I should not try to add 8+3 that early in the morning. I subtracted the 3 instead. Math is not my strong point. Now that that is out of the way…

The draft time has been changed to 6:20pm EST. My apologies to anybody who’s head I messed with this morning.:smiley:

Meek’s Muckers are ready for Thursday’s draft.

There’s room for some more entries.

Good Luck all.

We have nine entrants…according to the website we need an even number to have the draft. Let’s get someone else in there…and fast!

We need one more entrant so Yahoo will allow us to conduct the draft tomorrow.

Anyone else care to join to make it an even ten people?

BUMP

We really need that tenth person!
