Fantasy HOCKEY 2008

Post by js3901 » Oct Sun 05, 2008 7:35 am

Now, I know that there is more of an interest in football, basketball, and baseball in the forums as well as in general. However, I know that there are at least a couple of Hockey fans out there. and, right now I'm trying to guage interest in starting an NHL fantasy League, much like the Fantasy Football league that is already started.

as you can see in the pic, the league is through Yahoo and sponsored by the NHL directly. here's the official page for the Fantasy game. let me know who would be interesting in starting a league.

As much as I LOVE hockey...College,Minors and Pro. I just can't seem to get into Fantasy Hockey as much as Fantasy Football but if it's just for fun and free...then why the hell not :)

JS, I persume your a Sabres Fan?

yes, I am, in fact, a Sabres fan. a little disappointed in today's game. especioally with the refs not giving the goal in the first. But, at least it was still preseason. if it were regular season and that still didn't count, those refs wouldn't be safe within 1000 miles of Buffalo... :twisted:

lol Yeah I only saw part of the game as I barely follow preseason hockey but my Red Wings looked like my Red Wings. Just a little different with Conklin in net.

I can't wait until November...My brother got me tickets to the Wings-Bruins in Boston :)

Let me know when the draft is. I might be interested. I just don't have a lot of time on my hands with schedule at college.

Let's Go Rangers! (2-0)

Yeah those of you outside the Philadelphia area can watch the Flyers, but for those of us in the region all the games are blacked out unless you get Comcast........Not going to spend that kind of money for that bad of a service.
