OT: 2nd Annual Free HFNYR Yahoo Fantasy Pool (KUPO WINS!)

[Boris Zubov]

Oh shit I forgot about the game lol, that's a bad time then
Tuesday?

Thursday would be better for me. Can't do Mon, Tues or Weds

No big deal...if that doesn't work for the group, just count me out.

Any preferences when it comes to league settings?
I've made a couple changes so far

- Enabled draft pick trading, should make the draft a little more interesting
- Added Hits & PIM as categories, will require more strategy rather than solely building around skill
- Changed shots to count as 1 point instead of the default 0.9, so we get rounder numbers

So far it's:

Goal: 6pts
Assist: 4pts
+/-: 2pts
PIM: 1pt
PPP: 1pt
SOG: 1pt
Hit: 1pt
Block: 1pt
GWG: 1pt
SHG: 1pt
---
W: 5pts
GA: -3pts
Save: 0.5pt
Shutout: 5pts


Do you guys want face-offs involved too? 0.25 per win & -0.25 per loss? Or nah?
Any other recommendations welcome

FO wins would be cool. No need for FO losses, IMO.

Everyone state when you are available, when you're not available, and what your ideal time & date for a live draft would be please

A day I am considering is Wednesday October 5th, maybe 6PM EST? I am very flexible though so whatever is most convenient to everybody!

Also some of the most famous posters and assholes should join
@Machinehead @Uninstaaled @Tob @DanielBrassard @SnowblindNYR @Kupo @Mandar @Bacon Artemi Bravo @Crease @Kakko24 @Thirty One @will1066 @HockeyBasedNYC @duhmetreE @Leonardo87 @The Crypto Guy

last but not least

@bernmeister @Sir avgaard hockey professor

I've clearly been far too kind towards you to not make your famous assholes list

I'm not sure, I think that would just be rewarding people for taking more centers (which is already a common problem in pools, people taking way too many centers early for being centers). I'd rather reward being good at face-offs than just taking face-offs. IMO it should factor in both face-off wins/losses or disregard face-offs altogether

But I'm open to other opinions, if others agree with you then we can go with that. I just think we shouldn't make centers more heavily favored than they already are

Not necessary, was just a suggestion. Asshole.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I can make 7 work on Tuesday not 6 though. Kids has Cross country until then, won't be home until 630.

Same would go for Thursday.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Everyone give your thoughts on Thursday at 7 then plssss
Any time any day is fine by me

 

[Circus86]

Tuesday or Thursday is fine for me. I'm joining from Europe so hopefully I will get the time right

If we go with the 7PM that's the regular start time for Rangers games so you should be used to that time

Sounds great. Works for me!

 

[Taluss]

If we do Thursday that would be perfect for me;
Only day I cant do is the 5th

i'd prefer not to score on PIM always found that dumb lol

Do the rest of you guys @Loki Dog 74 @Boris Zubov agree with this horrible take? If so I will remove PIM
I think it’s fun tjough because then the goons get drafted, adds more strategy it’s like you need to build a well balanced team instead of just picking whoever is at the top of the rankings for the draft board based on scoring

I Actually agree with Kirk. Shouldn't be rewarded for PIMs...IMO. My other league does that & I don't understand it there either.

 

[Cmox]

Im good for whenever.

Fine, I see how it is.
I’m keeping hits though lol

 

[LokiDog]

Fine, I see how it is.

I’d actually like to do away with stats entirely and just have the roster with the best collective corsi divided by Pink Floyd albums, times goals for, multiplied by .03 high danger scoring chances against, plus however many goals Ovechkin scores against Buffalo.

I'm glad you said it first....

Hits should be rewarded. Hence, Reav-o & Tom Wilson are gonna be my 1st & 2nd round picks.

 

[hackeyman]

If there is still room I would like to join. Is it Thursday or Tuesday ?
