2008 Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey

[Myers57]

I don't like the ESPN fantasy hockey, I haven't even touched my team yet in that league

[RockStar36]

After this year I'm switching everything to ESPN, I like it so much more than Yahoo.

My first year with ESPN. I started a league with half family and the rest coworkers.

I love it. Free live timing and scoring for football and hockey. I just don't understand some of their player ranking formulas and havn't found a key to explain it.

Other than that, no complaints!

I have a basketball and hockey league but was too late for football. I did a mock auction draft for basketball and it was awesome. I don't think I'll ever want to do another type of fantasy draft again. The free live scoring is a bonus on top because Yahoo has a problem with that.

If anyone hasn't tried an auction draft, I highly suggest it.

What the hell is an auction draft?

[RockStar36]

Instead of a set draft order everyone comes into the draft with a set amount (say 200) and each player takes a turn nominating someone. If you want that player, you have to outbid the others. So basically, nobody gets screwed over by the draft order and you have to be smart because you basically have a cap. On top of that, there is a strategy involved because when it's your turn to pick the player, you might want to pick someone you have no interest in, only to have the others spend the money on that person before they get to your guy.

What if you run out before the end of the draft?

I never got to that point but I would imagine you would have an incomplete roster. I know during football drafts many people filled their bench with $1 people so they could spend more on starters.

I'm doing terrible in this league, it's unreal. I don't even have one good goalie, let alone the two that most teams have. I also have a roto league on ESPN and it's a world of difference compared to this one.

Uh... How would you like Legacy and Osgood? My only chance in the G stats are saves. But then again when you're letting in 3-4 each game, how many saves am I going to get. Geesh.
