The order you register determines what order you get to pick your players. Round One - 1st Team picks first, Last picks last. Round Two - Last team picks first, 1st team picks last.

If you choose to remain in a live draft, please arrive at the draft 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. The draft will start promptly and may conclude rapidly if only a few managers are logged in

I don't.

[tedward]

Whats a keeper league?

[Slipknot]

A Keeper League is a league that lasts 3 or more years... and each year you pick a certain amount of players to keep on your team so you will have them for the next year... and you keep doing this until the owner of the league calls it quits.

[Kris Hodgson]

I'm definetly in!

[Rogue]

I didn't do too bad last year..I'll give it a shot, I suppose.

[Kris Hodgson]

The Brandon Bruins are ready to destroy!

[Tardumb]

I'm back, to defend my championship!

[Shaister]

Hey fellow hockey fans
I joined the league but if the draft stays at that time I won't be able to make it. I have my pre-ranks all set-up but if everyone were to find a time for everyone that would be cool but if not I'll manage and manage to kick some ass ha ha

[equipe]

I'm signed up... So watch out.

[MysteryStar]

you can count me back in :)

although I probably won't be able to make it due to class on that day, oh well

[Kris Hodgson]

I just set my pre rankings in case I'm not here for the day of the draft. I'm excited. I joined the CS Football league as well, but I don't even know who any of the players are, so I don't really care about it. This I will follow religiously.

[Shaister]

Any thoughts about changing the draft time? I know some people won't be able to make it.

[tedward]

What sort of changes are you thinking of? I dont mind the time its at now - ideally though it would be a bit earlier.

[slinger]

Do you want it later in the evening?

[Shaister]

Later would be cool

[equipe]

I'm most likely gonna miss the draft if it is still at 4:30 or wahtever time it is at. The later the better.

[Shaister]

I posted a poll for the draft time check it out

[slinger]

Wednesday, September 24 at 9:20 pm CDT
How is that? I know last year not everyone could make it. I wasn't able to but I managed to get a very good team. As did the majority of everyone but injuries etc, not assigning players when they play isn't going to help.

[Shaister]

I like that time slinger

[equipe]

That's much better. Cheers.

[TxFilmMkr]

Sounds good. I may be able to make it, but may not. Either way, I'll get my order set up for the auto draft.

[slinger]

One hour away. Someone dropped out.

[Colorado Cajun]

was it Rogue?

[slinger]

mystery star

[tedward]

How did it go for you guys then?

I couldnt make it - and didnt get the one player I wanted Peter Forsberg, doesnt matter I got Naslund anyway.

Quite a few players I recognise from playing NHL '94 - Brett Hull, Mario Lemeuex etc are they still good?

[Kris Hodgson]

I didn't make it to the draft, but I preranked my players.

Thornton, Joe (C-Bos)
C Damphousse, Vincent (C-SJ)
LW Tanguay, Alex (LW-Col)
LW Bonk, Radek (LW-Ott)
RW Murray, Glen (RW-Bos)
RW Mogilny, Alexander (RW-Tor)
D Schneider, Mathieu (D-Det)
D Delmore, Andy (D-Buf)
D Poti, Tom (D-NYR)
D Housley, Phil
Util Sullivan, Steve
Bench Doan, Shane
Bench Carter, Anson
Bench Sturm, Marco (LW-SJ)
Bench Woolley, Jason (D-Det)
Bench Marchment, Bryan (D-Tor)
Bench Langkow, Daymond (C-Pho)


G Theodore, Jose (G-Mon) GBench
G Burke, Sean (G-Pho) GBench
Biron, Martin (G-Buf) GBench
Legace, Manny (G

I ended up with alot of crappy players though. I'm happy I got Thornton and Tanquay though.

Yes Brett Hull is doing really well still. His line last year was the old man and the two kids. He scored 37 goals I believe which is very good. As for Lemieux he should do well but he doesnt play every game, in most cases that is better than some players in a full season.

Colorado Cajun had the second pick and picked Forsberg. He did that last year so I wasn't expecting to draft him. I had Mario last season and while he was injured he did quite good for me, better than other players.

[equipe]

I just made a few trade proposals... can't wait to hear back about them.

[Rogue]

Hmmm..can someone take a look at my team and tell me how bad it sucks?

[Shaister]

what team are you?
rogue

[Rogue]

Tangy's Titans

[Shaister]

yeah rogue your team is looking pretty rough

[tedward]

I'll answer those trade requests soon.

[equipe]

Rogue, you will want to be dropping Svehla as he has retired and Berard as he is not signed by a team.

Just some friendly advice from the resident hockey nerd.

[Shaister]

All you hockey fans ready to get spanked courtesy my team
Habs for Life?
Good luck folks you'll need it

[slinger]

My gamble with my goalies did well. Broduer/Potvin tied 3-3.

[Colorado Cajun]

once again I'm off to a great start lol

[tedward]

How many days a week are there NHL games on, usually?

[JAE]

There is usually a game on Tuesday thru Saturday. Sundays are rare and Mondays are unheard of.....don't know why.

[slinger]

MNF.

In Canada I would say hockey is on 5 times a week. Double header HNIC on CBC, NHL on TSN, plus regional on RogersSportsNet.

[Shaister]

You folks enjoying the spanking you're receiving from my team? I suggest you folks get use to it because my team is very strong

[JAE]

I take that back. There are some games on Mondays, but the schedule is heaviest Tues thru Sat.

[slinger]

Great night for sports. MLB and hockey.
Hockey games that I've flipped through tonight:

Det/Van wiht Daniel Sedin going through the glass without shattering it, NYR/Atl's exciting OT, Tor/NJ with NJ dominating OT.

I did good tonight with my fantasy team.

[Kris Hodgson]

I'm at 4th place. Not bad. It's killing me that Habs 4 Life is winning. Who is that anyway? I HATE the Habs.

[Shaister]

I'm the architect of the great Habs for Life team. My team is too awesome just like the Canadiens right now if they beat Ottawa this Sat. I'm planning the Stanley Cup parade. haha

[slinger]

Once you're at the top, you can only go down.

[Colorado Cajun]

Yeah and I'm slowly making my way to the top game by game

[Colorado Cajun]

whoo Forsberg and the rest are making me climb to the top really fast now

[slinger]

Habs For Life is almost below 100....

[tedward]

hmmm.... I may ponder making some changes soon.

[slinger]

Reached 100 points for the first time last night....

[Kris Hodgson]

How do we score points anyway? This is confusing to me.

[Shaister]

Points are scored on how you stand statistically with everyone in the division. The manager with the most goals get the value equal to the number of managers in the league for our league it is 10. The manager with the least amount of goals is rewarding only 1 point. This applies to all the catagories the commissioner has chosen.
Congrats slinger you are doing well

[Kris Hodgson]

Okay. Thanks.

Congrats slinger you are doing well

And if there is ties then you get 3.5 [or whatever pts] with the other team your tied with. I meant to pick shots instead of shooting percentage. Thats what we had last year. Thanks Shaister. After picking up some players the team has been doing much better.

[Shaister]

Yeah when you're active it only helps. I haven't made many moves because I'm pretty pleased with my team but we'll see.

[slinger]

The River City Renegades finally reached first place. I would like to thank Stevie Y for all that time in the box. I doubt I'll stay on top over the weekend.

[Shaister]

Congrats of course I will try my hardest to reclaim my throne

[Shaister]

Well I'm back for now at least
Bless Bill Guerin he is a monster
if only I could get some shorthanded points

[tedward]

Well Im no longer intersted in this Im afraid - If theres no objections Ill free up my players and bow out, Dunno how ill ditribute the players if your interested in any give us a line (on this board - I dont check my email)

[Kris Hodgson]

I'll propose some trades to you. Accept them if you want to.
Why are you quitting?

I wanted out last year of the Fantasy Baseball league, but they convinced me just to leave my team alone.

Right now you're in fourth place. If you want to make trades you can, but try to make them semi-even. As commish I can stop a trade. So no #12 ranked player for #333 ranked player.

Or you can leave your team as is and check back in the spring and see how things went.

How did you lose interest?

[slinger]

Don't know how but nobody else picked up Boucher. Wish I picked on this earlier but I thought maybe somebody maybe had him but nope. Who knows how long his shutout or winning streak goes but I was able to get one W and shut out from him. Watched the 2nd and parts of the 3rd. Great to hear Kurt Chielback call the game in a hockey loving smart city like St.Paul.

[slinger]

Rank Team Pts
1 Texas Air Biscuits 107.5
2 Habs for Life 103
3 River City Renegades 102.5

With 6-5 games left for all the teams it could go right down to the last day for number one. I missed out on 4 wins and 2 shutouts last week which would've made me catch up to Habs for Life in wins and dropped both my GAA and Save %. Oh well.

[slinger]

Congrats.

Rank Team TOTAL
1 Texas Air Biscuits 111.5
2 River City Renegades 104
3 Habs for Life 100
4 Colorado Chill 90.5
5 Brandon Bruins 83

6 Tangys Titans 68
7 Iced Ts (teds team) 62
8 Boston Bruins 61.5
9 equipeTML 60.5
10 Southern Coots 29
