I think Ek is trying to turn this into a reputable hockey site.


Good luck with that.

What's it called?


Is it hockey/oilers related?

Some quality laughs on the board today ( the Kesler/flying cow 'GIF is classic )

Who woulda thunk, Canucks fans actually having a sense of humour

P.S. I'm pretty sure my last girlfriend was a YOLO wannabe (thankfully her sister was a full fledged one, though )

The final three are bolded because I planned to only have 20, and we have 23 who want to play.

We can discuss whether we want to expand to 23 or 24, but I'm definitely not going to take anymore names.

The league is created, but the rules are still flexible, so if you have any suggestions PM me or Nucker.

The only rule that is totally set is the number of playoff teams, which is 8.

This is a dynasty league, and the players on your roster at the end of the season will be the players you start with the next year, at least before the draft and free agency commence.

**If you think you will lose interest or not be able to set a lineup regularly, please withdraw your name**

We want this league to be competitive.


The draft is set for Sunday September 29th at 6:45 pm Pacific time.

If that doesn't work for enough people I can change it. Let me know.

I'll send invites out to the first 20 who joined, and we'll decide on the final three.

I read more then I post but I work on a comp all day. I will be Updating my team.

Still in development, looking for 2 last writers, purchasing domain name, dealing with NHL legal dept.

I follow him on FB and he gives updates on the status. Won't lie. I will check it out, can't be worse than other web pages.

I sort of agree. Let him play regular minutes for 9 games if he looks NHL ready keep him on the team,if not send him down.
- VANTEL


Ya he could hold his head above water but I think in his case he'd improve more being the number one guy in Utica for the first half of the season. I'd like his offense to develop more. It didn't hurt Tanev during the lockout.

Pretty much. Will have about 8 writers, everyone will cover few teams. Will be similar to HB, with some "new ideas" he does not want others to steal, so won't say what they are. Will also try and incorporate a podcast. IMO HB 1.1

Yes. Basically has ranted about how is not fan of the mods in his forum (doesnt mind attacking his opinions, does not like personal attacks), and hoping to attract same readers as HB. Happy with the chance Ek gave him, now time for a change. Also said how people in nhl don't take people seriously when they say they are with HB.

I know. Same as Spectors etc. Just going to be another rehash of what is already out there. Be interesting to see how it turns out, and if Canucks blogger shares his dislike of Vancouver.

For what its worth I believe Corrado is already better then Tanev. I know its hard to judge against lesser compitition but he didn't do anything in the big league to change my opinion.

I completely agree. The guy could certainly give it out, but he couldn't take it, in return. The only ban I ever received was due to that @#$#@ ass-hat
