Yahoo fantasy hockey league

[hockeyfish]

I'm in but depends on the settings. I won't do a 2 goalie league again, I want head to head, and I want PIM included.

Call me picky, but I want to be in a well organized thought-out league.

I can't guarantee anything. What I will say is we will all have to agree on settings and such to make it as fun and competitive as possible. The league will be head to head, and will likely have PIM included. Also this league will probably be capped at 14 teams.

I'm more than happy to send you an invite, but be warned, you may not get every wish you want. But it will be set up based on the popular opinion rather than what I want.

I'm all for a single-league format, it will promote competitiveness for when the typical few players drop out. One larger league with 1 goalie per team isn't a bad idea.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Is it for money? If so i'm in.

 

[FreshFitted67]

Count me in.

No money, just fun. Although you are free to mail me cash after I win.

 

[zhack]

I would be down

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

I'm interested, if there're still slots open.

I'd like for hits to be added as well. 0.5 pts per hit

Rather have hits than PIMs. I see no validity to rewarding misconducts. I get the fights, even though most are staged. I get that sometimes taking a trip or hook is a good thing. Roughing for standing up for teammates is good. But slashes, high sticks, boarding, etc are NEVER something to be hoped for. Hell, even a delay can sometimes be not the dumbest thing to do. But when the hell is intent to injure something we want? Until there is a way to separate the worthwhile PIMs from the bad, I do not like having them be something we might want more of.

I'd want both. that way guys like matt martin and radko gudas have quite a bit of value when if it's just scoring they are worthless.

I agree PIM is an odd catagory as it rewards stupid players, but I do like the added complexity if theres going to be a decent number of people.

You guys look into it too much. Hockey pools are about competing about stats. PIM is a stat and should be looked at as such.

Edit: And while it may reward someone playing fantasy hockey, it does not reward the actual player. I don't know where that came from?

 

[MonsterMack]

I've played fantasy football for years, but never fantasy hockey. I'm too lazy to look it up, how does it work? Are there weekly matchups? Since players have different amount of games in a week, how is that handled? I could play if you guys need another.

 

[Cynthesis]

If there's still room, I'd love to participate!

You have to manage your roster on a daily basis with weekly match ups. Benches are usually larger to swap players out. A big goal is to have as full of a team playing on a daily basis.

You won't be able to please everyone for sure no matter how hard you try- that's why I was asking for details. I'd rather see the league settings first and then decide if I'm in.

Problem is, I don't really want to set the league settings up without input from all of the managers. I can't rally do that until the league is full.

Anyway, we do still have spots, so anyone who would like to participate should PM me.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

My e-mail is my username at yahoo, so feel free to send a league invite. Still have one of those old accounts for fantasy.

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

I've been trying to find one to join all day! Great timing - I'm in!

edit: If there are still spots

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Named my team the Corsi All-Stars.

Logged back in to check the league and it said "You are not worthy of corsi".

Was confused, then realized that was the league name.

Touché hockeyfish, touché.

 

[billybobjoe2112]

I'm in. And hits would be a fun stat to include.

I agree with this sentiment to an extent, but if it was in between those two categories, i'd much rather it be one that has an a positive impact in the game.

Obviously couldn't do it with Yahoo, but you could easily just start adding Game misconducts and injuring players to a league as stats. Stats should follow some sort of logic.

 

[AvsFan1977]

PM'd You. Would love to join

 

[Taak19]

Is the league up already? Did I make the cut or...
