I was in a yahoo hockey pool last year, and I think this is a great idea.. I'm definitely down,

 

I have class from 1130-4 so I'm good at 5est and later

[Jarrod]

I don't know what a hockey pool is, but it looks fun... I did a quick search of what it is...

[Computer]

you're not allowed to join

[RicardoObviouso]

i scheduled the draft for 3:30pm PST. did you join?

[Computer]

yeah I did, how many people can we expect?

[LonelyWreckage]

I'll be honest, I'm imagining two hockey players all kitted-out stood on top of your average pool table.

[AnOceanPearl]

I'm down for this. I'm off on Thursday, so you know, any time is cool with me.

[bishopx]

I'm in, this'll be fun.

[AnOceanPearl]

I am all signed up!

[RicardoObviouso]

i put max teams 18, right now we have four.

 

 

four isnt good enough..... how come no nf chicks havent signed up? i think christine would be awesome at this.

[bishopx]

Damnit make with signing up!!!

[AnOceanPearl]

My friend Melissa may be interested in joining, if you're all okay with a non-NFer joining.

[bishopx]

Only if you vouch for her coolness...

[AnOceanPearl]

During MG's first acoustic tour, I got tickets for myself, my friend Dani and this girl I was kinda seeing, Nikki. Well, apparently Nikki decided she didn't wanna see me any more, and wasn't responding to my texts or phone calls. So waiting for doors to open at the show, I call Melissa to see if she'd maybe wanna take that extra ticket off my hands. She was at the show within half an hour AND she gave me a ride home.

[RicardoObviouso]

she's in.

[bishopx]

I pronounce her coolness to be solid. She will be welcome.

[RicardoObviouso]

for this to work properly, we need at least 10

[bishopx]

C'mon, what is the freakin issue here? You're Canadian for Christsakes!!! This is your national damned sport. What the hell, do we need a curling pool??? Hmmmmm...curling is actually pretty neat to watch.

 

Damnit!!! Calling out the Ryans, and the Dans, Timbo? Let's do this.

[RicardoObviouso]

i'm already in two other pools, i just thought it would be cool to have an nf pool.

 

shall we start the PM machine up and personalize the invitations?

[bishopx]

I think we may have to. I'm in four NFL leagues...and was debating my hockey league, til this one came along.

[RicardoObviouso]

ive adjusted some of the rules with regards to the rosters and points. here's how it stands:

 

2x C

2x LW

2x RW

1x Utility

1x IR

4x Defense

1x Goalies

2x Bench Players

 

Points are scored in the following categories (value in brackets):

 

Goal (5)

Assist (3)

+/- (2)

PIM (2)

Powerplay Goal (6)

Short Handed Goal ;)

Game Winning Goal :angry:

Shots on Goal (1)

Faceoffs Won (1)

 

Goalies:

Win (7)

Saves (1)

Shut Out (25)

 

Because points are being handed out for stats like plus minus and penalty minutes, i'm hoping we'll see deeper and more thoughtful rosters... it would be ideal to put a fighter as your second winger, or a play-it-safe defensman for plus minus ratings for an opportunity to score points in an interesting way.

;) = ( 8 )

 

so we have four teams and just under 24 hours til draft time. anyone who knows anyone who may be interested in joining, pass along the league info.

 

 

if you can't be there for the live draft (3:30pm PST), make sure you prerank your players so you get who you want. we're going to have some stacked teams!
