The Thread Where We've All Got Playoff Beards

[Guest mr. potato head]

A Flames/Rangers game from 1995 is on ESPN Classic for some reason!

THRILL at Mark Messier and Mike Richter, heroes of the previous season's Stanley Cup!

MARVEL at Calgary's stupidity in using Rick Tabaracci as a starting goalie!

GASP IN AWE at Sergei Nemchinov, Bruce Driver, Steve Chiasson, German Titov, and many others you haven't thought of since 1995!

So...someone should set up an EWB Keeper League.

But people should not forget about it/lose interest

[Cactus Drags]

They are WAY too many games and stats for me to get into fantasy hockey.

[TGWL]

It's best to create your own league with a group of people you know. It's awesome when people beg you for trades.

I think as far as community interactive hockey games go, the idea I tried last year (the weekend picks game) was suitable as far as time investment on the players went - but I need to perfect a method for recording picks and tallying results because that took up sooo much of my time that I started procrastinating the whole thing and it was all downhill from there.

[SeanDMan]

I tried to set up a fantasy league but you lot all bitched because I wouldn't host a completely illogical and impossible live draft.

This is funny.

[SeanDMan]

Hahaha no wait, this is better. That is a heel promo right there.

[Plubby]

Pronger and Jagr are going to make the best heel tag team this side of everything ever...The Stolen Puck 'n' Pittsburgh Sucks Connection?

[SeanDMan]

Oh shit yes, with all the "Chris Pronger Party Pooper" rumors regarding Carter/Richards I'd forgotten how much of a great heel Pronger can be. Him and Jagr together could be awesomesauce.

I don't remember this....but yeah, live draft would be hard

Did we ever try a draft-by-post? It's August, we would have almost 2 months to finish it....but would the interest be there?

[Ruki]

Apparently Sidney Crosby's recovery is not on track :/

Although, I've only seen that from a twitter account called "Hockey Break".

[Mountainous Cleavage]

IceCaps logo is infinity times better than the Jets logo in my books, but the name however will have to grow on me. I love the touch of Newfoundland & Labrador in the mountain, though.

Scott Hannan To the Flames.

[Gabriel]

Scott Hannan To the Flames.

It's an okay contract, but we have other holes to fill.

Basically it's a swap out for Regehr. Hannan makes less money, and will play less minutes, but he's the same type of player. He'll fit in well, while giving some more ice time (hopefully) to guys like Babchuk and Giordano. Bouwmeester will probably end up eating those minutes though... ugh.

[Ruki]

I would be really happy if the Leafs signed Schenn now.

[caucasianheat]

TSN and many other places are reporting the death of Rick Rypien at 27. Terribly sad and probably not well-timed for anyone wanting to make a case to keep fighting around after Boogard and Probert. What a year.

[Plubby]

Hearing increasing talk that it was self-inflicted. Horrible if that's the case.

[TGWL]

If a bought out player decides to retire, is the club still obligated to pay him? Drury is retiring, of course this comes after the rangers already bought him out.

[SeanDMan]

Yeah, you're still on the hook.

[Ruki]

Yahoo Fantasy Hockey is now open! If anyone joins any leagues, let m eknow

Waiting for the league I was in last year to re-open (this time, as a keeper!).
