fantasy hockey

It's time for a fantasy hockey Recap. This year I'm playing in 2 leagues- "Pylons, Sieves, and Tripods", a 6-team league on Yahoo! and Wicked Sweet League, a 12-team league on ESPN.

Strnagely enough, I am being owned in a serious way in the 6-team league, but leading the 12-team league in points. And there's really no excuse, because with only 6 teams, my lineup is pretty Boss. But I guess everyone else's is better.. who knows? I did make some changes to my team, so hopefully this week is less of a disaster.

I am going to try to get back to my old format (from 2 years ago!) and give you the breakdown on my team. (Maybe I'll do it more than once.. it's actually a fun idea and keeps me on track better.. if I remember to do it!) So here we go:

TRick Nashties (again without Captain LookatmeI'mRickNash) *Yahoo! League
Current record: 10-26-4 (LOL)
Standings: 6th place (out of 6)

Team MVP: They were all pretty useless but I'll give it to Ryan Miller with 3 games started, 2 W, 1.00 GAA, .966 Save % and 1 SO. Not too shabby.

Runner Up..there is no runner up because they all suck!

Most Useless Team Member: Ryan Whitney. he had 1 SOG, 1 Hit and 4 Blocked Shots. That's IT! Zeros everywhere else. And, considering that's all he's done this whole season, I just dropped him. Must have missed him in the great slashing of the team last night, but as of today, he's been replaced by Dennis Wiedman from WAS.

---------
Face First Into the Boards *ESPN League
Record: 23-7-4
Standings: 1 out of 12

Team MVP:Dustin Brown 3GP 2 G 1 A +2 2PIM 8 SOG 8 HIT 1 Blocked Shot (BS) 2 STG)

Runner-up: Thomas Vanek 3GP 3G +2 4PIM 10SOG 2 Hit 1 Special Teams goal (STG)

Most Useless Team Member:David Booth (I already dropped him) 3 GP -3, 3 Hit and 3 BS but 0s everywhere else. Goodbye my friend.. good luck in Vancouver.

...........

This concludes week 1 of the Fantasy Hockey Roundup. Remind me to do week 2 next Monday! ;)

wow

Even if I can't manage to blog regularly about the Sabres (and I have yet to see a game because my life is stupidly busy) I still am trying hard to do my Separated at Births so here is this week's edition: (not my best work, but I'm still seeing it)



-Actor Sage Brocklebank (better known as Buzz McNabb on USA's Psych

AND



-Zach Parise of the Devils

Separated at Birth? You be the judge.

Don't see it? tell me! (that's what comments are for)
Suggestions? Tell me! :)

And soon I'll publish some hockey songs.. heh heh and possibly watch a Sabres game so I can talk about them. WOO!

let's play

So the Sabres are 2-0.

I watched part of both games but didn't blog about it. It was fun though.

But it's Wednesday again and I am trying to be a good blogger and keep up with my SABs so here ya go..



-Former Syracuse Crunch player Jeremy Reich (he spent a few games in C-bus too)

And



-Current Blue Jacket Derek Dorsett.
Separated at Birth??
Reich is a bit more thuggish ruggish but I'm seein it..

bring it back!

Well the season starts tomorrow- so in honor of that, and the fact that my sis pointed this out last weekend and I have to share.. I'm bringing back Wednesday Hockey Separated at Birth! I'm going to try and do this every Wednesday but no guarantees.

So without further ado, I present you with..




-Tom Felton (most well-known as Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies)

AND


-Jeff Carter- of the Blue Jackets (formerly a Flyer, and since he looks like Mr. Felton, and used to be a flyer, he in henceforth known as Felon. Yep. But don't feel too bad, I have also christened Ville Leino (a Sabre who is also a former flyer Villain, so he's in good company.)

Separated at Birth? Brett (my sis) thinks so.. do you?

Bring on the hockey! :)
