i love hockey but ive never done a league. id still be interested tho
Water Polo?
I would love to, but personally I find that hockey season is just too long to keep my interest in a fantasy team. Hell, I can barely keep up with a football one. However, if you can get this off the ground, I'd be interested if you needed one more player.
@ wedge
Hmmm a water polo league would be awesome. Or just a water polo match at the next big NARP.
@ Blehman
I know what you mean. I didn't do one at all this year as my last keeper fell apart with every one moving away and just doing other things.
But I was in a football one and I eeked out two wins to start the season and promptly went 0-12 the rest of the way. No matter what I tried nothing worked to just get a win. I lost interest by week 8 or 9 I think.
I'll have to plan it out a bit more and probably will just after the draft on the 20-21st. I guess I should try the forums and see the interest there. It's an easier place to keep track of posts too.
@ Max
Same to you. I just might have to set up a forum post and use the PM system. Crap I don't think I've ever used a single PM since I got here.
I would, but I have a terrible memory for fantasy teams. It’s really sad. I created a hockey fantasy team this year, but I forgot about it, and I never made any roster changes at all. I don’t even have any idea of how it finished in my league. And I created a baseball fantasy team, but I never even picked any players for my roster. *Sigh*
@ Tug
My suggestion? Try the forums also, and whenever you get enough interest, pm the people who've expressed interest. BigPopa got a fantasy football league up and running in a few days. I know (sidenote: I don't really know, just think) there'll be enough of an interest to start this, and I really dig the community run events on this site.
So, tl;dr go for it.
As long as it doesn't take too much micro-management I would be interested. These things are pretty fun but I tend to sometimes forget about them for weeks on end.
I would be extremely interested. Had a blast competing in a league over the last season.
@ Samit
I know the feeling. One year I missed the draft for an online baseball league and got an autoselected club. Set the line-up and never came back until the World Series.
Back in HS I use to sign up for too many leagues for every sport and I'd always forgot one or two...or three.
@ blehman
When I get back from Kansas City I'm going to try the forums and get back to everyone here.
@ GrayFox
One I tried a few years ago the guys in it got made because I only allowed weekly line-up changes instead of daily. Because I started with fantasy baseball I'm more use to weekly line-ups and I think it makes a lot of sense in hockey too. Obviously they didnt' see it the same way, but yeah it does take a bit of heavy management out of it.
Not sure what this league is going to be yet. I'd prefer weekly but I've been talked into daily before.
@ Stonethigh
Agreed -- it's always a blast as long as you get in with people that don't get too carried away with it. I know some people that its serious business like they're actually real GMs. They tend to kill the fun -- especially in baseball.
I would be so inclined to participate in a fine sportsmanly game such as this.
I'd rather play in a NHL 09/2k9 league if they are supported with this release. I can't bring myself to do fantasy leagues, because I would have to draft non-red wings for my team. I'm too hardcore a fan to do that to myself. I'd feel like a slutty fanboy.
@ CountingConflict
How do you guys feel about Mclellan moving on to the Sharks? He got an NHL job fairly quickly.
At least he's inheriting a better team in San Jose than Dave Lewis did in Boston.
I mean the track record is there with Swift Current and Houston (not really sure how he did with the IHL because I can't recall it) has been solid and now three years working with Detroit, one of the most professional organizations in the league. So I think he'll do alright, probably better than Wilson (who I've never been a fan of) did there and will do in Toronto. Just curious how the general Detroit fan feels about him.
The Atlanta coaching position should be interesting and the next one filled. I'm pulling for John Anderson, who I felt should have gotten it over Bob Hartley then. With this year's Calder Cup added to his resume -- but he's still considered too young. Which is bullocks -- look at Boudreau in Washington.
Sadly they'll probably go with Laviolette. I'm not trying to 'hate on' American coaches but I'm meh on him.
And yeah....I ramble more on hockey than video games.

But apparently Atlanta fans don't like him and the orginazation is in year 9 of Waddell's 5 year plan so maybe best to stay out of that job.
