I really enjoy doing this every year, so Vader Crusaders are in again.

 :o

But yes, I just checked the league id # and it is the right one.  No, I'm not blocking you from joining.

Haha whoops, I was trying to sign up for basketball using the hockey info.

My bad.  Still not joining hockey.  Don't speak a one word of French.

Not so goodly with the English either.   :-*

Still room for a couple of more folks if anyone wants to get involved.  El Jeffe? 

Draft is a week Wednesday and last I checked it was actually at 8:30 P.M. Central though someone should probably verify that for me.   ::)

It says 6:30pm Pacific for me, so I think we're jiving.

One more team would be great but we can handle three more for sure.  C'mon kids.  :-*

Draft tomorrow night.  Jeff?

Can't believe I have nothing to do for fantasy sports for all of three days  :o  I'm twitching without a roster to adjust (too soon for football).

Sorry... couldn't make it tonight... had to work late. 


How's my auto-draft?  I haven't done very well the last 3 or so years, so I figure I'm probably no worse off than usual.

How's my auto-draft?  I haven't done very well the last 3 or so years, so I figure I'm probably no worse off than usual.

For autodraft it's pretty good.  Always a crapshoot because you never know who's going to perform up to last year's standard or suck dirt. 

You got stuck with Streit whom I'm not sure why they left on the draft because he likely won't be back until February.  I would think they should have had him labelled as NA at the least and not in the draft.  So that didn't help you.  Were he playing he'd be a good pick there.

Center - really solid; Malkin and Toews obviously.  But I think Lecavalier has a bounce back year.  Ribeiro is good too.

LW - a bit dicey.  Sedin is money but the rest are kind of iffy IMO.  I don't like anyone on Edmonton this year so Penner wouldn't have ended up on my roster.  I like Raymond and Frolov better than him but they're sort of unproven quantitities.

RW - I like Stewart a lot and think he moves up this year in points.  Briere should improve over last year and is on a good team to do so (yeah, he was there last year too) but you probably need to pick up a third RW.

D - like Kronwall a lot, Visnovsky too but otherwise you're light there I think.  Stupid autodraft.

G - Rock frickin' solid.  Both guys should start 60 plus games and I think the Devils win a ton.  Lundquist you know from year's previous and the only thing holding him back is his team.  But great goalie.

Cool - thanks.  I was a little annoyed to find Streit on my team as well... stupid auto-draft indeed. 

I do need another RW, and I probably need a 5th defenseman (after I pick up #4 to replace Streit).  I don't think I can round out the roster without ditching or trading a LW and a C.

Luongo gave up 6 goals tonight.  Ouch.

I posted this on the hockey pool message board, but I'll put it here too. 

Anyone interested in Marc Savard? I finally reactivated him from the IR, but I have too many centres. Either he's going to have a slow season because of his concussion, or he's just turning the corner after having a decent week, I'm just not sure.

Anyway, I'm looking for a defenseman.

Wow, a couple weeks ago I had a 35 point lead, and after tonight I'll be lucky to be 2 points ahead.  It's amazing how fast a lead can evaporate!

It looks like it's going to be an interesting finish between Scott and Rob...
Title: Re: Jedidefender Fantasy Hockey 2010
Post by: Rob on March 31, 2011, 12:34 AM
Yep.  Scott's making me nervous.  I'm sitting on a slim lead and have a few more games to work with, although I don't know if I'll have enough days to make the most of that.  It's easy for things to change in a hurry and losing Kopitar the other day hurts too.

Sweating this one, it would be nice to go 2 for 2 on winter Fantasy Sports...good luck Rob :)
Title: Re: Jedidefender Fantasy Hockey 2010
Post by: Rob on April 6, 2011, 05:08 PM
Same to you.  Given how bad the last few days have gone for me I think you're taking the gold.

I ****** up too and saved too many games.  I won't be able to use my full eligibility at F or Util.

And as far as I can tell, you have Basketball completely wrapped up.  I'm hoping for a second place miracle but think Brent is getting that one.

Basketball could go a lot of different ways from second to fifth I think, I'm sweating in that one.

Hockey I'm wondering if we shouldn't get rid of some of the extra games and play it more like basketball with the standard number of games next year.  I guess it's nice with the extra stuff but the guy that really pushed for it isn't even in the league anymore. 
Title: Re: Jedidefender Fantasy Hockey 2010
Post by: Rob on April 7, 2011, 06:17 PM
I'd be open to it... but this the first year that I've sort of managed to figure out how to use all those games. 
Title: Re: Jedidefender Fantasy Hockey 2010
Post by: Morgbug on April 10, 2011, 06:53 PM
Congrats to Rob on a nice win and to Scott for a great second spot. Man that was a tight finish, shame both can't get that first place cup. 

Looks like Jesse hangs on for third spot too.  I was hoping to be able to sneak in the back door in the last couple of weeks to climb to third but just wasn't meant to be.

Damn Defensemen not playing ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) 0.4 points :o

Congrats Rob :)

BTW...stoopid worthless 1st and 2nd round picks sure made this a lot harder...losing Parise and a totally ineffective Green really sucked.  I did like most of the rest of the top of my draft especially the two Ducks and my Goalies.

If I would have taken Sedin which I really thought about it wouldn't have even been close.  Oh well, again congrats Rob

Thanks guys!  I'm really excited about it since hockey was the one sport here that I'd never won.

BTW...stoopid worthless 1st and 2nd round picks sure made this a lot harder...losing Parise and a totally ineffective Green really sucked.  I did like most of the rest of the top of my draft especially the two Ducks and my Goalies.

I know how that is...  I missed the first four rounds of the draft and my first and third round auto-picks (Malkin and Brodeur) did absolutely nothing for me.  I got there in time to make some good picks with Kopitar (who got hurt a a bad time) and got lucky on some later picks like Briere, Visnovsky, Lundqvist...

Pretty fun season when the run for first is so close!  Congrats Rob and Scott.

I'm pretty happy with 3rd, it's my best finish ever.  But with leading for a while this season, I actually had a shot at winning this, so hopefully I can improve even more next year.
