OO Fantasy Hockey League

Hmmm.....seems like on guy isn't paying attention, but is doing well solely because his draft hit.

Another guy is happy because he is winning.

While the rest of us all feel like we suck.

I'm sticking with the "it's a long season" and minor adjustments to overcome stats deficiences should overcome the weak areas in the long run.

You go with that... loser

Lee · Post by **Lee** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 5:28 pm

Since there isn't a max games setting, those of us paying attention should eventually take over the lead. Right?

Break up The Shats. They're ruining the game!

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 2:54 pm

Haven't seen the results from last night yet but I'm guessing I'm doing okay.

Don't mess with the Canuckstian!

Brodeur out 3-4 months.

This is the sound of theohall...

x 1000. And dumping him isn't a good idea, because if I do, someone hides him on their roster until he returns... So picked up a couple of goalies who are at least playing a little bit. We'll see how it goes.

Lee · Post by **Lee** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 2:53 pm

Yep, thats why I grabbed Legace and stuck him on IR (although he should be returning soon). He can't be any worse than the crap I have now for goalies.

Well, Visnosky is available as I dropped him by mistake instead of the intended D.

Enjoy!

At least my picks (Of whom most have been under performing) gave me a chance at first place. Instead of Sheer luck....

Lee · Post by **Lee** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 1:36 pm

I am now losing to a someone who isn't even active. How can I be this bad? I came in 1st last time I played fantasy hockey. Really, I swear.

Semaj · Post by **Semaj** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 3:42 pm

if I could avoid having some of the worst +/- guys and a couple Defensemen who could score points my team would be friggin scarry.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 4:24 pm

I am heading the wrong way. I need assists if anyone needs goals...

Semaj · Post by **Semaj** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 1:27 pm

does someone who gets put on IR count against your total players?

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 2:23 pm

No but the max IR is 1

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 4:22 pm

doing decent so far... never seen so much position jumping in a pool... I can be in 5th place and then have an awesome saturdya and jump to 1st lol

crazy

McDonald just fractured a boen in his leg, is out indefinately, and they wont put him on IR... SHENANIGANS!

Don't you love the Blues this season.
EJ - out for season before the season started
Chris Mason - Emergency appendectomy first week of season - misses 2 weeks
T.J. Oshie - was best player on team, hurts ankle 2 weeks in, out indefinitely
With Mason down - Legace hurts his hip slipping on a carpet and misses 2 weeks
Bishop (the new backup to Legace) hurts his knee in his first start, misses a week. Marek Schwarz, the Blues 4th goaltender actually played 1 period.
Kariya goes down with "lower body" injury (tweaked his knee)
and now MacDonald breaks his leg.

Legace, Erik Johnson (EJ), Oshie, Kariya, and MacDonald are all keys to making the Blues a winning team, so it's looking like a long season.

Steve Regier was really good in his first game as a Blue.

Semaj · Post by **Semaj** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:50 pm

seriously, this is retarded... he wont go on IR so I cant let him go for fear of losing him, but I cant just keep him on and hope he gets better inside 2 months... the league is hosing me.

boo

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:51 pm

Out 8 weeks with broken leg. No surgery required. No idea why he hasn't been placed on IR yet. He should've been based on recent roster moves.

Semaj · Post by **Semaj** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 7:39 pm

exactly, he isnt even listed d-2-d or anything... I think Yahoo knows I have em and wont put him on IR for like 2 weeks

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 6:36 pm

You haven't heard the rest of the cruel joke that is the St Louis Blues center position.

Blues forward Patrik Berglund sufferd what is believed to be a muscle strain during practice this morning and is very questionable to play Friday night vs. Anaheim.

Oshie - out
MacDonald - out

That's the top three centers. Meanwhile, the top 3 centers from the minor league club are hurt as well.

Which explains why the Blues keep claiming anyone off waivers who has a heart beat and can fill in as center.

It's going to kill Tkachuk's numbers, because he was playing great as a LW. Without the centers to help him, he won't be scoring much.

Welcome to Goalie-Injuries-R-Us.

Brodeur out forever.
Ward goes down last night with a "lower body injury"

Great - two top 20 draft pick goalies out.

Time to soldier on with Alex Auld and ***drum roll**** Dwaye Roloson

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 2:26 pm

I'm just hoping Fleury comes back soon and starts some games.

Still, being in first, I shouldn't complain too too much

Oh yeah, Gaborik, feel free to play again any time soon buddy.

Semaj · Post by **Semaj** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 7:21 pm

I've lost McDonald and Jokinen to long injuries... Nabokov is just now coming back...

I feel your injury pain.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:53 pm

I wish my guys would get injured so I can have another excuse for my performance other than "I suck".

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 3:04 pm

I wish Fleury would come back already... this one goalie thing is not working out.

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 3:32 pm

I do lead our league in GAA

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:46 am

Nothing like a sudden fall to 5th....

Now if Kariya (hip flexor+) and Luongo (probably a week) would come back...

While my OO FHL team isn't doing so well, the team I have in a Yahoo! public league jumped into first place and has held it over the weekend, despite a 3.5 point drop in total points after Monday's games. (Tuesday hasn't posted yet)

The amazing part - I don't have one single first place stat in this 12 team league.

Goals - 2nd (10.5)
Assists - 3rd (10)
+/- - 3rd (10)
PIM - 7th (6)
PPP - 4th (9)
SOG- 3rd (10)
W - 4th (8.5) (3 guys tied for 1st at 11; I'm tied with one other guy for 4th)
GAA - 9th (4)
SV% - 7th (6)
SO - 3-way tie for 2nd (10)

And amazingly, it's mostly younger players - Berglund, Brassard, Toews, Girardi, Meszaros, Boyes - and most of the rest are from the monstrous 2003 draft class.

At least one of my three FHL teams is winning. The other non-OO team is in a H2H league and jumped to 3rd after this weekend. That one has been floating between 3rd and 7th in a 16 team league. Playing the first place team this week, so we shall see what happens. He's got 172 points to my 159, but that gap could close dramatically with a good week from Western Conference Central Division. Seems that team has an abundance of Chicago, Detroit and St Louis players. And that wasn't a live draft.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 11:09 pm

Barrhaven Bullets are said to be shopping for a proven goalscorer who can put the puck on and in the net ... I have heard from two separate sources that they've made overtures to teams in their division (e3)

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 4:28 pm

I'm looking for a goalie... I've got a few goalscorers... Make me an offer and I'll more than gladly consider it.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 6:55 pm

Thanks. I just have a couple of offers out already that I need to hear back on first.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 1:35 pm

Rats. Things got complicated with Mason going on IR. One offer still out there but I had to cancel the one with him in it. Hmmm ... decisions, decisions.

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:43 pm

Good thing for me you were slow or I would have snapped him up in a heartbeat for one of my better players, hehe.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 12:23 am

Heh. If you win, you owe me a Maudite

tjg_marantz · Post by **tjg_marantz** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:00 am

To be bought and served locally.

Jolor · Post by **Jolor** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 12:20 am

Mason expected back soon. Do you want to roll the dice? Offer has been made.

edit = It's a blockbuster ... let's shake things up and force Beer & Bodies hand.
