Can we all just take a moment to appreciate fighting in hockey. Every once in a while during a hockey game two or more guys just decide to stop play and try to concuss each other with fists blows to the head and the referees just sit back and go "boys will be boys" then make them take a short time-out. That is some hosed up poo poo right there.


Fighting should be mandatory in all leagues. I want to see a contested call lead to a fist fight at first and I want to see Jim Furyk bitch slap that young kid that wears all the orange poo poo.


Also, this all being done in Yahoo?

basic fantasy hockey drafting advice

- trust the autopick unless everyone else is avoiding that guy
- goalies are either more or less important than you think, but make sure to grab one starter at least due to league size

Yes, normally this would be cause for concern but I'm pretty sure that this season's gonna be kinda lopsided so it might not really matter anyways

Or does it and am I just trying to sabotage the draft

the countdown is until the draft starts, when the players will be picked 1-18 in round one and the order reversed for a "snake" effect in round two. So on and so forth. tonight at about 9:30 you'll be able to open up a window where the draft will be run. If you can't make it, a team will automatically be drafted. the team will have flaws but it'll be viable

:[ sorry mane

under "my team" you can choose "edit player rankings/autopick strategy" if you have a particular desire for a player/certain way to build your team, don't pick a goalie too early tho idk

i love you for making this post. i went to several IceCats games in high school

i'm insanely jealous of the people who go to my college now because the Phantoms moved to the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, PA) and they get the joy of minor league hockey
