I played one game but I joined the worst team in the world in the rockford icebitches (blackhawks) farm team. But the blackhawks have everyone thats anything on their farm team rostered so that leaves them with 3 pilons, a broken hockey stick and two used pucks
 
Posting to say I joined the league finally(as did aldaron and someone I don't recognize, I see) and ALSO to thank 09 fixes again, yet another 09 fix OT goal! Fired one from the point and Zajac deflected it in for me through Vokoun's 5 hole :D! Sutter apparently was SO pleased he put me on the 2nd pairing.

I think that goal to me was a good example of why I love Be a Pro so much before, it's just a totally different feeling scoring in that type of situation than when you have control of the whole team. I mean OT winners with 20 seconds to go are always pretty exciting but the comedy roleplaying aspect and having so much less control over whether or not it happens makes it so much more exciting when it does happen, I think!
 
Can we please have 5 bench spots, not 4 bench spots?

The 4 seems too arbitrary. 5 gives one for each roster position.

4 says "hey, you have to sacrifice one skater position back up for a goalie" which isn't really "strategic," it is just arbitrary.

Yea, 5 bench spots please :X
 
one extra roster spot on every team seriously chunks into the viable players on the waiver wire in case of injury.

I dont like the idea too much! This is also why its good to be position eligible at multiple positions!
 
Played 9 games with my defensive Defenseman, 1 Goal, 5 Assists, 169 Hits. Sadly my Iowa Hogs are only 6-3 with 3 of our wins coming as shutouts and 2 losses were shut outs. I'll play some more tomorrow.
 
Dude where's the WER love

You know you want to face a team of all star former islanders

I figured since you said "everyone who played last year is in" I could sign up :D
 
ok nhl 09 still cheats...

We're shorthanded in the 3rd, down 1-0 with about 20 seconds left. I steal the puck and take it into the zone on a 1 on 2. I deke the one guy, wrister top shelf.... GOAAAAAAAAL!!! Now we just have to PK until OT and hopefully at least get a point out of this game. Nope. 3 seconds left in the game, the AI scores again. Fuck.
 
Just throwing this out there for our fantasy league but are we capping drop/adds at all? As far as I see Max acquisitions etc, is no max so just wondering
 
I don't know if we should have a max acquisitions for the year, but definitely for a week. I don't know what the number should be, but I hate those fantasy (BAN ME PLEASE)s who drop their 4 defenseman and add / drop 4 skater positions every day.

Maybe like 7 max a week, for a non-arbitrary (you guys know me...) 1 add / drop a day?

I'm still pushing for 5 bench spots over 4. I don't buy that suddenly having 12 more skaters / goalies on the rosters will suddently desaturate the talent on the waiver wire. It's 12 players ._.

4 is still completely arbitrary. I mean, "hey here are 4 skater backups but um let's not give you a goalie back up" is pretty damn random.

I'm pushing for 1 back up for each roster position, meaning 5 bench spots.

Is this a fantasy league or NHL09 Xbox 360 league read last couple of pages and not sure.

I would be interested in both of them though.
 
We really only want super active fantasy guys, so only volunteer to join if you know (not think, know) you are going to be super active.

Fantasy leagues with semi active players are no fun :(

If you look at the list Jackal has so far, everyone there will be super active so...

Said league is for fantasy on yahoo, yes.


We're also trying to get a smogon team going on 360, think four of us have it and two more are planning on getting it but we'll see if it actually comes into fruition!
 
i was ready to cap the acquisitions, but i remembered vineons strategy and realized it wouldnt be fair to him

also lets hear other opinions on the bench spots...usually only the top 12 people on waivers are even playable. So taking them out would mean having to pick up like wade belak
