Only 6 more to go.

And one to replace Boomer when he drops out after the first round.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

This is intriguing but I know myself better than to commit to something like this on a whim.

And beyond the commitment issue, in my limited experience I'm just flat out bad at fantasy sports. What are the consequences of failure? Shame? Taunting?

Yes, those are the only two things that happen if you pick a piss team. The only real issue is commitment. This isn't really fantasy sports because at the end of the day there's no objective measure of success. It's all very subjective, and the emphasis is really on the process of selection and player assessment, rather than the team you end up with.

Shame AND Taunting, especially when you pick John Tavares over Crosby

But it's really not that hard, just pick a solid NHLer when it's your time to pick and provide a (funny) reason why!

No consequences? Clearly you're just sour because a team you picked has never won the SAS EHM fantasy simulation.

If you're on the fence about whether to join or not, then shut up and join. It gets boring picking dudes at the end but the first 75% or so is always amazing fun and can actually get really tense and the simming in EHM after the teams are done is fun too.

It's good. IT'S GOOD AS HELL, DAMMIT!

Don't even worry about hockey knowledge, last year I literally just tried to draft Swedish dudes for as long as I could. My team's forwards sucked at the end, but I still had fun.

Ill take the Flames and do this again because I will have the time. :toot:
