Roll Call for the annual Rx NHL Fantasy League

[VegasVic]

I’ve adjusted the league to ten teams.

Playoffs will include the two division winners and the two teams with the best regular season winning percentage despite which division they are in, hence it’s possible that 3 teams could make the playoffs from one 5 team division.

My deepest apologies for not getting in here--for some reason I was thinking it was next Thurs--which stuck as it is opening night for most. Looks like you have 10---so good luck to all this season. Again sorry for any extra issues

No worries sir. It seems like we lost two this year. Let’s try again in 2015.

If you have time and have an older PC...it would be wise to reboot your computer before the draft to minimize any glitches. Worth thing ever is your pc running slow or freezing with your pick on deck. Just an FYI through past experiences.

 

[VegasVic]

I have a relatively new mac and it still freezes, (looses connection), every now and then. Really sucks when you’re in a expensive hand playing poker.

Hi Guys I just got called out of town for work tonight and I don't know if I"ll be back in time for the Draft tomorrow. If we could push it 1 or 2 hours later I would greatly appreciate it. If its to much of an inconvenience I understand especially last minute. I have pre ranked my players in the event I wont be home in time. Thanks.

I can do the later time if it helps anyone out.

Too late Marni. We draft in a hour.

See everyone in the war room soon!

POST DRAFT SMAK N CHAT BEGINS NOW

1) I hate all you guys
2) Why do I have to open w two road weeks?
3) Bushay snapped two of my Special Picks right in front of me....Vic did it once in about Round 12 w the Bolts kid
4) Your turn

 

[VegasVic]

Bman:
After perusing your lineup, I decided you need more goaltending.

I got Alex Stolack on the block

 

[barman]

Well after not watching a single nhl game last season there were a lot of Unknowns. So you can see my first dozen picks were guys with resumes. After that ...well

Vic snagged my big sleeper Vrbata one pick before me, guy is averaging about 10 shots a game in pre-season playing with the Sedins. He would of fit in nice there with Henrik on my team

The Alex Burrows effect.

 

[Bushay]

Sherwood snapped up Jurco a pick before me.
Im still interested Brian.

Lets work something out.

 

[Bushay]

everyone happy with their teams?

Im going to set some odds on the winner after I glance at everyones lineup.

 

[Bushay]

From the top

+340 ....Adam....This guy knows his players. was impressed LY. Am impressed again TY

+600...Shillington.....Lot of good looking talent on this team. Nice job drafting.

+625...PK.....[arties friend?]...this is a team loaded with quality studs. old team though. Better hope they worked out in the off season.

+710...Bushay..This was a good draft for me. But I say that every year.

+930...Vic...Real top heavy team, top 8-9 are as good as anyones.

+1400...Sherwood...Strong up the middle but I thought you drafted better last year.

+1810...Artie.....Draft score....B......Arties good around the waiver wire. He will be right in it again.

+3200....Feddz...I see some weakness in this one. Hope it dont come back to bite me.

+7000...Marni...forwards look good. the rest looks a little weak.

+10,000...Barman [Yearround fans] Dont matter. you'll be pressed for a sweet 16 spot.

 

[VegasVic]

Hard to dislike anyone. Every team seems loaded. Clearly a product of a ten team league.

Bushay...as the Red Wings goes so goes Bushay, (4 hometown boys on his roster).
Someone said you can’t win a fantasy league in the first few picks but you can lose it. Bushay’s first three picks in order. Erik Carlson, James Neal, Ben Bishop.

Year Round Tans, aka Barman...first six rounds...Corey Perry, Jonathan Quick, Pekka Rinne, Semyon Varlomov, Keith Yandle, James Wisniewski. See above.

Sherwood...terrific balance. Top to bottom.

PK Subban...requesting to league commish to change name to Carey Price.

Adam...making the most out of the least award goes to Adam. His last 5 picks, (#172 or higher), Seth Jones, Tyler Bozak, Brian Campbell, Joffrey Lupul, Jakob Silfverberg.

Feddz gets extra points for his logo.

 

[VegasVic]

+600...Shillington.....Lot of good looking talent on this team. Nice job drafting.

agreed

 

[barman]

Iput my mouse on names of each player & ESPN had chippy comments about each...heh

It does seem that all my selections are Owned in at least 85% of leagues so I guess they are a viable bunch

 

[Vancouverfan]

Was a little disappointed Bushay didn't draft Horvat off the Canucks but other than that it was fun..
