Fantasy Hockey- Save the Dates Update

Reminder that the Yahoo H2H draft is tonight (Sunday)...

 

Finally, it's that time of year. The preseaon is in full swing and opening night is just over a week away. T'is the perfect time to get some Drafting done. After the polls yesterday it was clear that most people want Monday through Friday evening drafts. But there are a few people that need it to be on weekends. Most people that said they could not make the Sunday times are in the Rotisserie league. After careful consideration here is our proposal:

 

Sunday evening: 9pm EST (7 Mountain) Yahoo Head to Head

Monday evening: 9 pm EST (7 Mountain) ESPN Head to Head

Tuesday evening: 9pm EST (7 Mountain) Yahoo Rotisserie

 

If there is someone that *needs* to be in the Yahoo Head to Head because of the Sunday draft time, or doesn't want to be in the head to head because of the Sunday draft time, please post below. We'll try and switch people and get the best fit for everyone.

 

As a, friendly, reminder if you cannot make it to the draft it is recommended that you change the draft order that you want so that you get the team that you would want anyway. You can do this up to 45 minutes before the draft in the Yahoo leagues. Otherwise you might end up with a player that has a serious injury or a team full of players you despise.



Any concerns, please fell free to voice them. I tried to fit everyone's desires in, but it's difficult to coordinate this amoutn of people.

Alright folks, it's time to choose the times that work best for everyone. There are lots of options to choose from, please pick the league you are in and then the times that work best. For all you double dippers out there, just post in the comments. Also if there is a time that doesn't work for you, please post. Poll after the jump.

Fantasy Hockey.

Alright boys and girls, it's that time of year again, thank goodness, hockey season is about to begin at that means it's fantasy hockey time. We'll be running three leagues to start, if we need a fourth league we'll set up a fourth one. Don't worry, we will make sure that any MHH'ers that want in, get in. I'll be running the two on Yahoo, and MalachiConstant has agreed to be the commish in the ESPN league. 

We discussed how we were going to do it, and we came to the desicion that it would be easiest for those interested to send an e-mail and we will send you a link. It will be first come first in, but again, don't worry too much, we'll make room for everyone.

Malachi has set up his as "Mile High Hockey", and he does have to send an e-mail link. If you want to join the ESPN pool, please either e-mail myself, or Malachi. His e-mail, for this purpose, is enos.kroenke@gmail.com. His league is currently set up for 16, but it can be maxed to 20. His live draft is currently scheduled for Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 12:00 PM ET. This can be adjusted if needed.

Another thing to note is that the ESPN league is set up so it can only be changed once a week. The roasters will "lock" at the begining of each week. This will give people a chance to only have to update once. For those with limited time to invest, his *may* be a good option for you.


For those interested in doing the fantasy pool on Yahoo, please e-mail me (link at bottom of the page) and I will send you a link. Again, first come, first served. I have two leagues set up on Yahoo. One is on a "rotissery" basis and the other is a "head to head" match up. Let me know which is your preference and I will link accordingly. If we run out of one, we'll put you in the other one. If we end up with a fourth league (which, I think, will be likely), we'll let those who didn't get their first choice know as well. The Yahoo leagues Draft times have not been set up yet, I was going to do it as a majority, but will either be evenings and weekends.

At the end of the season, we will run some sort of playoff pool mixed with the top teams, that are interested, in one pool.

Looking forward to your e-mails.

Fantasy Hockey- Mile High Hockey Style!

In a few weeks, the Avs will be raising Peter Forsberg's number to begin a new season. Although it seems like a long time, I'm hoping it goes by quickly. Like last year, MHH will have a fantasy hockey pool. Some people have brought up the idea of switching from Yahoo to ESPN. We also need to have an idea of the number of people that would like to be involved, to know if we should run one league or two, and when works the best for the majority of people for drafting the teams. Who is going to be called the Wings Lover this year?! Who will get bragging rights?

Speaking of bragging rights, what would be better than seeing your own handy-work every time you got onto MHH? It could happen! You just need to come up with a brilliant idea for a new MHH logo, design it, and submit it to Mike before the 19th. You can even pair up and work on it together, although you'll have to share the AWESOME prizes if you do that...

 

Poll closes Friday.

MHH: Now With Even More Tanking

 

Elliotttanking_andidee15_medium

 

In a blatant, last-ditch attempt to to try to improve my final grade, I am please to announce that we have figured out a way to squeeze one more name - andidee15 - on our obnoxiously large masthead. I could write a little introduction about her here, but since she's averaging over 30 comments a day and you guys have been calling on me to bring her on board for a while now (see, I do pay attention), I'm going to assume that she needs no introduction.

So please join me in giving Andi a warm, Mile High welcome with the obligatory Tyler Arnason reaction shots!

I need your help with the Nicknames and Glossary pages

It was pointed out on Monday that the Nickname and Glossary terms are slightly archaic as DDC's age must have caught up to him so I asked him about it. After getting yelled at to "Get off my lawn", he relented. Instead of letting it become another Top 19 list, I have taken it over.  After all, this site is so awesome I want it to be welcoming to new members. Maybe they’ll get that warm "cupcakes just out of the oven" feel.

Now, I've done some additions but the MHH lifestyle is so ingrained in me at this point I have stared at a guy open-mouthed when he asked me to go mini-golfing with him and his buddies. This is where you lot come in because I need a little help. If there is anything that you think should be added please let me know. Remember, this is both for nicknames and glossary terms. You guys rock!
