Fantasy Hockey is somewhat of an obsession for me. I would enter any league I heard about. I've been in as many as 4 per season. Unfortunately, this year I only managed to be in 2. I run one of them. I don't do keeper leagues, though I'd love to meet a group that is interested enough and dedicated enough to do one. I'm sure I will one season.
This brings me to why I've chosen to start blogging about fantasy hockey. It's partially because I can only stare at the pages for my two fantasy hockey sites (both are on Yahoo! this season) for so long. It's also because I feel like it's not very easy to find sites that give advice about Fantasy Hockey. I know two sites that are dedicated to letting you know who's starting in net. One is http://goaliepost.com/ which is a paid site. It's a flat fee of $10 for membership for the entire season. Well worth it in my opinion. The other is a free site called http://nhl.poolnotes.com/. They both do a good job, though I believe goaliepost is a bit quicker and more accurate. While these sites are great, they never help me when I'm considering dropping a struggling Sergei Gonchar or when I'm contemplating jumping off a cliff because Alex Ovechkin just can't score. If you take a look at the so called "Yahoo! Fantasy Experts" on the side of the Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey page, you'd feel embarrassed for Yahoo! They have one guy, Scott Pianowski who has not made a post since November 16th. That's well over a month at this point. Is advice really that hard to come by?
This is my goal. To give advice. If I help some people along the way, I would be elated. If it turns out no one reads this then that's ok, too. At least it will be therapy for my overwhelming fantasy hockey addiction. I will make at least one post per day, but I will try to make more. Everything will be from my opinion, which is not biased at all. I am a Ranger fan. I have no fantasy allegiance to anyone on the team. I own Brandon Dubinsky in one league and I consider dropping him every day. I owned Alex Frolov in my other league, but I dropped him long ago. I have something to offer. I just need to be heard.
