In what is the first, and probably last blog post of this season, I wanted to let all of you know that the draft has been configured and the keepers have been inserted. It is your responsibility to view your keepers and picks in the draft to ensure that any traded picks have been recorded correctly. You can view the draft order here.
The draft will be Monday, October 1 at 7 pm. I tried to cancel it until a season happens, but Yahoo! won’t let me, so you might as well show up to do it right. Hell, it might be the only hockey fun we have for a while. For the most accurate update on the lockout I have seen, this video covers just about everything.
Bert Fong says support him in his adult hockey league, but would be like watching the CFL. Painful.
If the lockout is super long, looks like we can reset everything and start over, so we may put that option into place.
A couple people couldn’t make Tuesday night, and all the people with kids, who, like anyone with kids, thinks they know it all, couldn’t have more differing opinions on which time is better on Sunday (from “10 AM on a Sunday is the dumbest idea I have ever heard, trust me, you will realize this when you are a parent” to “There couldn’t be a better time than 10 AM on a Sunday”). Once again proving the old adage that kids make you dumber.
How will the lockout impact Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey? Why, you can read that here.
Some of you have awful keepers, so the lockout may be a blessing in disguise, or delaying a gruesome death, either or. Either way, this lockout has me feeling like Cole Ballard does all the time, and I am not looking forward to spending the winter and spring with my only entertainment being two month old YouTube videos being sent to me by Jesse Cook because he finally left his Blackberry and got a phone that works.
Shoot me in the left nut and kick the right one at the same time. I hate my life.
