Killing time…

Count me in.

Oh yea, and best news I’ve heard in a month: Training camp opens the 19th. Via blues.nhl.com.

Feel free to NOT leave your email address if you’re signing up for the fantasy hockey. The administrators can pull it from your log-in info and pass it on to the Fantasy Files.

Unless, of course, you really WANT a bunch of spam email about ‘all-nite pills to satisfy her’ or an offer to make yourself three-legged (’what can I say? It got bigger.")

Dammit.

I’m new here.

Interesting fact…

Not only is he the Blues goalie of the future, but Ben Bishop is also the producer for NHL 2K9.

And one other thing — Playoff Beards!

You know, I thought about that gallagher. And then I thought ah, what the hell? Also, I already get all that crap in my email anyway, so once again, what the hell.

Dan,

Did I mention my assets have been frozen in an account in Nigeria and all I need is your bank account numbers so I can transfer the funds out? You can keep half for helping out, most respected sir.

Sincerely, Assistant Nigerian Defense Minister Opagano Mpucko

Seriously though, when does the league draft? I might be interested.

We got your back, Dan.

And Pagan, that sounds like a good deal, any way I can get in on that? You send me the info and I’ll send you a sweet way to get a big check from Microsoft just for forwarding some email. It helps with their beta testing so they’re willing to pay you!

The draft is two weeks from yesterday, I believe.

Beware all you Fantasy League Hangerons. AM registered his team night. I struggled with the team name given the limited character spaces avaialble. All that I could muster was the “Weiner Cleaners” because you can’t have a dirty hotdog. our home game promotional giveaways are second to none!

I am new to the world of Fantasy Sports. I can tell you this, AM’s team will “virtually” rough everyone up and will absolutely not welcome and Euros. Ideally, we’d operate without a goalie but no can do.

Not sure if I really count as a “loyal” reader but I am a reader. Anyways, if you don’t mind having a Hawks fan in your league I’d love to play. At least you can have a team you all love to hate…

i was in on the first year, but missed out last year. count me in.

I’ll be out of town and out of modem range on draft day. I’ll pass for now (unless you really need another manager – then I would reluctantly autodraft)

Pagan – I’ve currently got the draft set up for Sunday, the 21st at 8:30pm. Yahoo doesn’t dump a lot of resources into this, so the extremely limited number of favorable online drafting times are snatched up quickly. We might be able to bump it back one week closer to the season, but it would mean that it’s a bit later, somewhere in the 10-11pm range. Either way, we’ll go with the majority, and the rest can pre-rank their players and exclude all Wingz a-la Gallagher.

Matthew the Hawks fan – Fuck off.

Just kidding – that would be awesome if you’d like to play, since you probably hate Detroit too; I’ll give you the league info once I receive your e-mail address from one of the admin.

Tim – same thing, minus the “fuck off”.

It looks like we’re going to have a fair amount of people involved in this league, as Tim, Matt, and Pagan would make 11, and I’m sure that we’ll pick up a few more by the end of the week. I think that 14-16 teams would make it interesting, and would help anyone who wishes to hold a piece of the Blues roster on their fantasy squad justify their spot.

Pagan – I just assume that people are generally free for this sort of stuff on a Sunday night, so would the night of the 28th work for you?

I looked into changing the time, and it looks like Yahoo has graced us with the freeing up of a great number of new draft times – it’s set for 7:00pm on the 28th (for now) – if anyone has an issue with the date/time, just open up the discussion on the league forum, and we’ll try to get something that works for everyone.

The 28th works fine. I’ll be back in town. My gal will be out of town. No reason not to sit around, drink some beer and draft a hockey team.

Pagan, as gallagher said, that does sound like a great deal. I just hope you have several billion Nigerian naira in your account. At a value of less than 9/10 of one cent, it’s going to take an awfully lot of those to add up to the mass fortune I’m hoping to get out of this deal.

Also, I’m glad the draft date is the 28th now. I’m out of town the weekend of the 21st too…and autodrafting a team really sucks.

Count me in for Fantasy Hockey if there are still spots available.

I"d love to play if there’s room.

Dan,

The currency I’m offering is actually bat guano. Very lucrative currency. White gold, we call it. I here the Red Wings rub it on their dicks to kill sexual arousal so they can funnel all their energy into being assholes at hockey.

For the record, there are a lot of things I will live blog (a draft lottery, the first round of the NHL Draft, a blowout loss in San Jose at midnight), but I can’t see myself live blogging a fantasy hockey draft.

Sorry to disappoint.

Anyone else looking to join the league is more than welcome – we’re sitting at 16-plus at the moment, however, so it looks like the creation of a second league will be necessary in order to accomodate the numbers, which is pretty cool. A 12-team league is ideal… 10’s not a bad number, and 14 is a little on the deep side, but any more than that is just ridiculous for anything as casual as this.

Thus, GT’s Red Berenson Invitational is born. You can think of this league as a tribute to the great Red Berenson himself, or as a tribute to the cowboy who oversees 306 – either way, they’ve each earned the tribute in their own way.

If we wind up going with two leagues, we’ll sort out the details of who goes where as soon as everyone who wishes to play is in. This might also be a nice way to work out anyone’s draft time issues – the Plager Invitational will draft on the 28th at 7pm, so anyone who knows ahead of that time that they can’t make it to a computer might want to swap over to the Berenson Invitational.

We’ll sort it all out on the league message boards, so check in there periodically, please.

Any room for a Swede in one of the leagues?

I am very interested in the league. Prob have one or two others interested too.

Chappy, I forwarded your e-mail addy to the Fantasy Dictator.

2 questions:

1) With it on Yahoo!, is pre-ranked autodraft possible??
2) Rotisserie OR head to head?

Marcus – of course – I’ll get your e-mail from one of the guys.

Chap – excellent – as long as your brothers aren’t Detroit fans, they should be fine.

Brad – watch it… I’ll kick you out of the league, take your wife as my own, and force your daughter into manual labor.

Milo – we’re set up for head-to-head now, but I’m more than happy to go with the majority opinion on any scoring/settings issue. Also, although anyone who logs in to do so will draft live online on the evening of the 28th, Yahoo will allow you to pre-rank as you see fit.

I haven’t done head-to-head yet, but according to the league, I’m your first opponent.
you may have to beware yourself, because I came in FIRST in BOTH GT fantasy leagues last season! mwahahahaha!!! poses, showing off his less-than-average muscles

Well, as long as I can pre-rank and have Yahoo autodraft, sign me up! Either rotisserie or head-to-head is good with me.

So I don’t know if the league filled up or not or if I still had a spot in it but I just wanted to let you guys know I never got an email about the set up. Just didn’t want to have a dead-team in your league from the start… let me know

Matty Hawk Boy, I’ll send a message to Mr. Files. I’ll see what I can dooz.
