So I am really enjoying this fantasy hockey thing I got myself into. I am on two different leagues one is on ESPN.com and is a point's based league (8 teams) which means you get points for all goals, assists, +/- , penalty minutes etc ... the other is on Yahoo and is a head to head league where each week I am up against another player in the 20 person league.
ESPN Fantasy League name: Blood, Gore & Guts Hockey My team name: W.H. Puck Busters Total Points: 63 (this is out of 10 categories where the highest score is 80 - I am doing really well on this one)
The players I have:
Henrik Lundqvist, NYR G Dominik Hasek, Ott G J. Giguere, Ana G Jarome Iginla, Cgy F Joe Thornton, Bos F Cory Stillman, Car F Eric Staal, Car F Per Axelsson, Bos F Jason Arnott, Dal F Joffrey Lupul, Ana F Jason Williams, Det F A. Ovechkin, Was F Rick Nash, Cls F Michael Nylander, NYR F Alexei Zhitnik, NYI D Zdeno Chara, Ott D Sami Salo, Van D Chris Pronger, Edm D Sergei Zubov, Dal D J. Liles, Col D Dion Phaneuf, Cgy D
Yahoo Fantasy League : The Real League My team name: The Puck Yous (might change this to Rookie Camp) Rank: 11 out of 20 Score to date: W-22 L-22 T-6 % - .500 pts: 50
My Players (this week):
A. Steen (Tor - C) S. Rucchin (NYR - C) J. Hrdina (Cls - C) V. Kozlov (NJ - C,RW) S. Ott (Dal - C,LW) T. Fedoruk (Anh - LW) J. Jokinen (Dal - LW) J. Sim (Phi - LW) J. Iginla (Cgy - RW) M. Svatos (Col - RW) T. Kostopoulos (LA - RW) P. Sykora (Anh - RW) G. de Vries (Atl - D) S. Zubov (Dal - D) A. Meszaros (Ott - D) D. Phaneuf (Cgy - D) C. Pronger (Edm - D) H. Lundqvist (NYR - G) N. Schaefer (SJ - G) D. Cloutier (Van - G) M. Tellqvist (Tor - G)
I think I have to drop Tellqvist on this one as he fucked my score last week I would have been 6-2-2 but because he played so poorly I ended up 5-4-1. I am looking for another rookie to pickup since this league has so many people all the known players are all taken.
I know no one on the robot cares about this - I just want to share that yes I too am an uber geek in my own way. Oh and I am going to my first game on the 19th with my friends Pat & Zori. I think I might have to break out my old Rangers jersey and freak them out.
