Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2021

[sancarlos]

So... Fantasy Hockey time again. For those of us who were in the Swamp Fantasy League last year, Yahoo has automatically renewed all of us for the new season. I hope you all will choose to play again this season! (If not, please tell me). If any of you others want to join - we do have a couple additional available slots, so let me know! (but we have to keep an even number of teams).

The NHL season starts on Jan 13, so we need to draft our teams soon. I was thinking Tuesday, January 5 at 8:00 or 9:00 Eastern time? I'm certainly not married to that schedule, so please let me know if you've got a different idea.

OK, Frogs. I've set the draft for Wednesday, January 6th, at 8:00 pm Eastern time (7:00 CST/6:00 MST/5:00 PST).

I hope that works for folks.

In and looking forward to it.

[Giff]

Works for me!

Reminder that draft is tonight.

Reminder that draft is tonight.

YES!

Would anyone be interested in small weekly wagers? I'm not a big gambler, but think it'd be fun to play for some money.

I'll be on as it begins, then have to hop off for 30 minutes or so around 8:30 to act as taxi driver for my oldest.

Fudge. I've been waiting for an email about renewing this league. Guess I should pop in more than twice a year.

Nevermind!!! It autodrafted me! And I hate my team!!! I'm so excited!!

Jeebus, Diamond! I sent emails out, too.

Jeebus, Diamond! I sent emails out, too.

Found them all in my spam folder. I'm psyched to be back in. Bummed I wasted my study time. Hundreds of crap emails a day and the yahoo fantasy emails go to spam?? Don't they know I won a pandemic-shortened league last year?? The indignity!

Made all 18 picks and guarantee you will finish higher than me.

showed a buddy my team, he said great team .......if it was 5 years ago.

This whole minimum goalie game thing is pretty rough when half the teams aren't playing

Yeah, I can see the argument for eliminating it. But then some guy whose goalie pitches a shutout on a Monday would just not play any goalies the rest of the week and win the GAA and save pct. categories.

No doubt. No easy answers in the world of fantasy hockey league management is what I always say
