Do people play fantasy arena league football too? Or fantasy timber sports?

I don't know what those two minor sport leagues have to do with the greatest team sport ever, played at its highest level. But I'm sure it seemed very funny to you.

They both got higher TV ratings last year than the NHL had in the playoffs the previous year.

Fantasy hockey rules, where else can a guy have value simply based on penalty minutes? And remember that those ratings are US only. I think they draw pretty good numbers in Canada...

Seems like u did a good job drafting.
Spezza and Lecav should be studs. Always been a fan of Legwand maybe Kariya can help him to a career year.

Not a big fan of Stillman - Carolina don´t exactly have richards, lecavalier, st louis upfront. But I hope he´ll prove me wrong - got him on one of my teams.

Nice blueline.

Lots of completely worthless things exist because they get high ratings. Like Friends, or According to Jim, or the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Not saying that Arena Football or Timber Sports are completely worthless. I've never seen a single minute of either, so I wouldn't know. But to compare them to NHL Hockey...

Hockey has had a hard time marketing itself, and certainly isn't in its finest hour right now. But Timber Sports, Jesus. Are you really so bored you just HAD to come into this thread just to make bad jokes? Not that I'm offended, that pretty much defines my output on OOT.

Looks like a nice draft to me, but I've never done fantasy hockey before. Your goaltending is stand-out. Your D doesn't seem to provide a lot of offense, so I assume they're strong +/- guys.

Stuart, Modry, Zubov and Chara should all get around 40 points. And Chara usually does wonders in the PIM department.

No Gonchars but good D-men.

Take care.

For those how do not know, I have set up a fantasy hockey league for 2+2ers, the draft will be on tuesday night. Those that are interested can PM me, there are a few spots still available.

Re: ***Official Fantasy Hockey Pre-Draft thread***
 

ACK, Tuesday night. Looks like I will have to use the autodraft because I have a hockey game of my own that night.
