Quick Update

Just a quick update about my fantasy hockey league. Week 1 was extended to 10 days due to a short week because of the start of the season. Current results after this first week:

Rank		Team	W-L-T		Pts
1.		Vegas Ice	6-4-2		14
2.		The Matt Damons	5-3-4		14
3.		Broad Street Bullies	5-4-3		13
4.		Save Randy Jones	5-5-2		12
5.		GOAAAAAALLLLLLL	5-5-2		12
6.		knowshockey	4-5-3		11
7.		Yo quiero Taco Bell	4-6-2		10
8.		Prestige Worldwide	3-5-4		10

I'm in first place!

Even with a shaky roster, I ended up making 3 trades and now I'm currently holding the 1st place spot in the league. Hopefully some longer blog posts to come, school has been busy lately.

Week 5 Picks: Recap

So after a bit of a shocking Week 5, I went 12-5 with my picks. Not exactly a record to boast about. I was wrong about most of the big games, unfortunately. The most shocking of all the results was Houston - UTEP by far. Seems like Houston as a team was just a bit too overrated. As was Cal, who was scored a total of 6 points over the past 2 weeks.

The best part of the weekend however, is the fact that the new rankings have come out. What do we notice? The Bearcats are now ahead of Ohio State, as it should be. Tony Pike didn't have the best day however so that may hurt his Heisman chances, however the Bearcats did prove they have a running game.

Fantasy Hockey

Haven't been as focused on the blog lately, not much to blog about in the college football world. However, I have decided to try something new this weekend, mostly due to my roommate Matt, and that would be Fantasy Hockey.

My draft strategy went out the window and I'm going to have to do a lot of work if I want to win this season. Here are my current players:

Vegas Ice

Eric Staal (Car - C)
Joe Thornton (SJ - C)
Loui Eriksson (Dal - LW)
Patrik Elias (NJ - C,LW) IR
Bobby Ryan (Anh - RW)
Mike Knuble (Was - RW)
Dan Boyle (SJ - D)
Rob Blake (SJ - D)
Brian Rafalski (Det - D)
Jamie Langenbrunner (NJ - RW)
Martin Brodeur (NJ - G)
Chris Mason (StL - G) Bench Players:
Joffrey Lupul (Anh - RW)
Phil Kessel (Tor - RW) IR
John Tavares (NYI - C)
Paul Martin (NJ - D)

Now this isn't one of the worst lineups possible. I had the 5th pick in the draft (8 Player league) and I felt good about the draft overall. Unfortunately, I didn't do my research well enough concerning injuries. Phil Kessel seemed like a great pick, up until the point where realized he was on long term IR about 15 seconds after I picked him. Patrik Elias is also on short term IR and unfortunately, I don't have another LW so I am in the process of trading for one (dropping Phil Kessel) so we'll see how that all works out. Until then, I'm forced to start Patrik. We'll see how it goes, and I'll be updating my blog with week by week results.

While watching the chat, which can be found here, I decided to ask a question out of the blue:




Out of all the people, my question was actually selected. That's right friends, I am on ESPN!
