NHL Fantasy League - The Draft

[Ben Kenobi]

Raycroft?

Looks like there will be plenty of good goalies left until later rounds.

[Kontiki]

Why don't you list all the unpicked goalies who had better stats than Raycroft last season?

not that Raycroft's stats aren't good... it's that he isn't signed...

I'm looking at a variety of Fantasy hockey sources for info, and a lot of them have guys like Cloutier, Theodore, Esche, and Aebischer higher than Raycroft.

And Yahoo's big board has Hasek ahead of him.

You're going to be in trouble if you look too much at fantasy rankings for this pool. Keep in mind the stats we're using vs. the ones considered in most fantasy rankings.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Btw, I'm around. My hotel has wireless internet and I got an ethernet bridge to work with my government laptop!

YAY!

So, Guy, no need to pick for me. Though I will be on site during the day (until 5 PM), so I'll only be able to pick in the evening.

You and I have two different things. You have working internet, and I have a dick all the girls want to get on. Which is why you were drunk online, and I was drunk offline.

Best. Response. Ever.

I guess if you're going to make a jackass statement like you did, you invite the obvious smackdown.

How is what I said a "jackass statement"?

And how is what you said an "obvious smackdown"?

Yes, different fantasy leagues are scored differently. But goalies are usually scored pretty much the same way dumbass. Hence, how different sites rank them would be pretty relevant.

Who is getting the obvious smackdown here?

[Kontiki]

That would be you. Check our league stats - do you see games started or wins? Ties? How about shots against?

I know you're slow, Sava, but either you claim our league is the same as most other fantasy leagues so my statement isn't obvious, or it's not the same and your comment about the rankings is pointless. Given that you already claimed my statement was obvious, I'll go with the latter. Either way, you're an idiot.

[Sava]

well, we'll just see the standings at the end of the season, m'kay?

All I said was that I am looking at a lot of information. Surely, having a lot of information is better than less information?

I'll try and make this simple:

Goalies, in most fantasy leagues, are scored very much in the same way. At least at the fantasy leagues I have been looking at. So hence, my statement about goalie rankings is relevant.

ALSO

Yes, different leagues are scored differently... I am taking that into considering in how I am weighing the information I am gathering... HENCE YOUR STATEMENT IS COMPLETELY ****ING OBVIOUS!!!

What I said is not mutually exclusive.

Go to the store and buy yourself a clue.
