Chip was quite a surprising winner, as after his picks of numerous injured players like Scott Neidermayer during the draft, trixster remarked "Well, we all know who lost: Chip". For shame trixster!

Now this is where I have a question for you guys: If you want, we can run the game the same way as last year, where the points race is just cumulative throughout the year. OR, we can use the head to head system. Unfortunately we can't do both at the same time on yahoo, but I can keep track of the head to head battle system here. That's what I would be most supportive of, because last year, I remember once it got to a few months in just watching the back and forth cumulative totals got a bit dull. This way, we'd have two seperate winners, the champ of the cumulative total and the winner of the head to head.

Now on top of this, I've also decided to run a seperate Saturday Night Pick'Em game. Saturday Nights in hockey are almost as busy as Sundays in football, so it'd make sense to have a similarly run pick'em game during that time. The results and players if they wish would be totally different from the fantasy game, but I'd probably do them both in the same thread. Like the NFL game, all you do is copy the list of games on that night, bold your winners, and see your results the day after. Once again, this will keep the activity and excitement around the thread and game week to week.

I've set the draft for Sunday, September 28th, at 3:00 ET. If anyone has a problem with that date, let us know and maybe we can find one more accomodating. You can rank your player choices before the draft, in that case if you miss it, the picks will made for you. Last year everyone showed up, which was nice, but it's not a big deal if you don't come.
