Fantasy Hockey

[sonickteam2]

to be honest, i wasnt really trying to make it that in depth.  I figured most people werent even so much into hockey and it would just be recreational.
 
   if a goal is 10 points, then it would equal a fighting major if PIMs were 2 points.  is that wrong?
 
   i mean, i see that you have thought all of this out and i can completely follow along, but perhaps not everyone wants to need an Excel spreadsheet to pick their team.

Yeah, I'm not putting that much effort into this at all.

If nobody else is using a slide-rule, then I guess I'll put mine away.

i suppose if you like spreadsheets in your game and analyzed it this much, you could join my league. but keep your league as is. ill figure out one way or the other who im going to pick up based on points    
 
 i spend way to much time watching hockey/discussing hockey etc.

I was going to use my TI-83 calculator, but only because it still has a program from highschool that plays a rudimentary collage of pictures of a girl taking it up the ass. But that really has little to do with fantasy hockey, it was more of a "pass-the-time" thing while everyone picked.

 A power play Goal is 15?
 And a shorthanded goal is 20.
 
 Are you sure?

martin st. louis = MVP in this format ... how many special teams points did he have last year? 120?

[sonickteam2]

well its better than having Tie Domi as MVP!!!
 
      and St. Louis had 41 special teams points.  including 8 shorthanded goals.  
 
 
   why would someone that tied for the leagues lead in Assists, plus/minus, 1st in points and 4th goals being the MVP be a bad thing anyway?

I say we award a point for every minute of ice time. It'd be hilarious.

I would love to see that?

I don't know much about fantasy hockey, but I'd say power play goals should equal a regular goal and short handed goals should be at least an extra five points. Also, and I'm just asking, what is so important about penalty minutes and why do they have points. I know fights are fun to watch, but should they be that much of positive points in a fantasy league?

[sonickteam2]

are you playing rob??  you should, cause we need more re-pube-licans in the league  
 
   and i dont think there's going to be as many fights this year anyway.

oh it isn't a bad thing at all

[smakawhat]

I need some more players for my league anybody up for it?

[BookerT]

it's looking unlikely that i'll be able to participate live in the draft today. but i have pre-ranked nearly 300 players, so i should be good to go. we have 26 players per team? good lord, that's a lot.
