In this fantasy, will hockey still be less popular than the WNBA?

Actually, in this fantasy, all the folks who don't like hockey will stay the **** away and save their pithy comments for the political threads.

It's a fantasy, I know. ;D

I feel bad because I missed the thread to register, so last year's third-place team -- Super Mario Bros. -- will not be in the mix again. But I wish everyone good luck.

Last year's second place WHA team, the Charlestown Chiefs, missed out too.

How will Zamboni Roadkill handle the 6-goalie rotation?

We're already starting to see some unrest in the lockerroom. But, to be honest, I didn't go in looking to draft six goalies, but I figured why not. And I didn't sacrifice the offensive players too much.

Of course, I am only playing with four d-man (instead of the six alloted), but aside from a few d-men, they are really only good for plus-minus.

Even if I don't play all six goalies, it keeps them off other teams. And since you have to have three goalie starts each week, some teams could be hard pressed to get that.

I am open to trades tho.

If anybody's interested, I set up another SportsJournalists.com hockey league on yahoo.

League name: Son of SportsJournalists.com WHA League
Password: moddyrules

It's set up as an autopick draft that will take place once the league is full.

11. M. Brodeur RonTugnutt'sgroin
Can RonTugnutt'sgroin win with no players older than 23?

RonTugnutt'sgroin was built from the nets out. Marty, King Henrik, Brizzy, Hannu Tov., Phaneuf, Niedermayer...we'll be fine, don't you worry.

The other question: Will Jagr repeat last year's monster numbers and make me -- the Stormin' Canes' GM -- look smart or get hurt and make me look stupid?
