    Okay, this is serious.

    I still have three empty slots in my fantasy hockey league, and the draft is only 3 days away!! I need those slots filled up quick!

    Apparantly, fantasy hockey isn't as popular as fantasy football, baseball or basketball.

    If you're a hockey fan, or just a fantasy sports nut in general, join up today! It's fun!!

    Go to: http://www.sandbox.com/sports/pub-doc/home.html

    Click on Full Strength Hockey. After you register (totally FREE), make a team and join the league called "Molson Beer League"

    The draft is saturday, so join up today!!

    How about just a "Fantasy" league...ya know, just like fantasies instead of sports. Why don't we get one of those going?

    I am so tired of that commercial.


    Exploiting nationalistic sentiment in order to sell beer.... that seems so, American. [​IMG]

    Anyway, join my league!

    I'm from NF.

    fadeaway, hate to break it to you, but most of the posters here don't exactly reside in the hockey hotbead of North America. [​IMG] Btw, what team do you follow? I'm guessing the Canadiens or Leafs?

    The Flames?!! [​IMG] Thats awesome, seeing as though I've been a Flames fan as long as I can remember! Take it from a fan who's gone through all the suffering with the team throughout the last decade, I have a feeling this year the team is going actually reward us, and turn some heads this year. I can feel it. (Then again, didn't I say the exact same thing to myself for the last 5 seasons? [​IMG])

    I cheered for the Flames ever since they won the Cup in '88 (or was it '89?). I've been disappointed with them ever since though. [​IMG]

    I go for all Canadian teams, really. Sens, Canadiens, Canucks, Oilers, Leafs... etc..

    I think it's sad how Canadian teams all seem to be leaving for the States nowadays. I mean, we pioneered the game, damnit! [​IMG]

    Go Penguins!!

    If I actually kept up with hockey, they'd be my team.

    Well, the fantasy hockey league is finally filled. Unfortunately, it didn't fill up fast enough to meet the live draft deadline. As a result, there will be an automatic draft instead on the 25th, which mildly sucks.

    You should be ashamed of yourselves! Ashamed, I tell you!! [​IMG]

    Smeg,

    I went to that site but couldm't get it to work. I think it may be my work internet restrictions so I'll have to try it from home. I'm told by my mates that the add is pretty good, though.

    Well, the draft was yesterday. I think I made out pretty damn good, considering it was an offline draft.

    Here's my team

    C - Mike Modano, Joe Thornton, Ron Francis, Michal Handzus

    LW - Adam Graves, Slava Kozlov, Fredrik Modin

    RW - Tony Amonte, Teemu Selanne, Theo Fleury, Brett Hull

    D - Al MacInnis, Calle Johansson, Darryl Sydor

    G - Mike Vernon, Ron Tugnutt


    I am absolutely <U>stacked</U> at RW. LW is my weakest area. Overall, I think my team kicks major ass.
