That’s All Folks

And just like that Amish Rake Fighters have won the 2009-10 Fantasy Hockey Season.  That is right, the 8 seed, managed by a clown whose love of hockey who is inversely proportional to his love of the sound of his own voice, has taken down the Texans with the final score being a….tie?

Not exactly.  The Yahoo! fantasy hockey tie breaker goes to the team with the better head to head record in the season.  So this match was actually really close, with a tie in week 6 and then Amish Rake Fighters winning in week 19.  Basically, it came down to a best of three series with Amish Rake Fighters winning the series 1-0-2.

GM Peter Burns had to say this about the league after learning of the championship win, “I made the playoffs?”  In all seriousness, he would like to thank Montreal Wanderers GM Court Watson for reminding him to change his roster every week, reminding him to place guys on and off DL and for his trade advice, which helped Amish Rake Fighters obtain 3 starters for one in a blockbuster trade from the Kanucks.  Also, the Montreal Wanderers dealt Amish Rake Fighters Scott Neidermayer; whose 6 points (4 PP) in week 19 and GWG in the championship week allowed the Amish Rake Fighters to take the title.  At the end of his speech, GM Peter Burns notified the league the team was being disbanded and would not compete in future years, due to lack of interest/knowledge/good looks.

Thanks to all who participated this season.  Tentative date for next year’s draftapalooza is the weekend of September 18-19.  Please let me know if this is a serious conflict for any of you.  Hopefully, next year, the team with the least hockey knowledge won’t win.

With the huge success of Jesse Loves Paymon GM Steve McIntyre’s fundraising drive, Champs GM Jesse Cook has jumped into the foray, selling firewood and t-shirts.  Looks like a winner.
