Official line-up:

FORWARDSDefenseGoaltenders
David Pastrnak - BOS
Mitchell Marner - TOR
Nico Hischier - NJD
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - EDM
Adrian Kempe - LAK
Artemi Pannarin (Now BALD!) - NYR
Jesper Bratt - NJD
Joe Pavelski - DAL
Ivan Barbashev - VGK
Jake Debrusk - BOS
Jonathan Huberdeau - CGY
Max Domi - TOR
Adam Fantilli - CBJ
Adam Fox - NYR
Charlie McAvoy - BOS
Victor Hedman - TBL
Vince Dunn - SEA
Devon Teows - COL
MacKenzie Weeger -CGY
Igor Shesterkin - NYR
Stuart Skinner - EDM
Devon Levi - BUF

Overall Vibes: I think I drafted a team with decent balance, though defense is a touch underrated.
Fav picks: I'm pretty ecstatic with my picks of Pasta, Igor, and Mitch.
Steal: I think Devon Levi *knock on wood* with how he's projected might be a great pick. He's got decent chances at being at min the backup for Buffalo, but he might take the starting role if he does well.
Iffy Selection: My two Flames players, Huberdeau and Weeger I'm banking on having bounce-back seasons. I think Huberdeau is slightly more safe, especially with him being a later pick and his potential, but Weeger is an iffy, but I drafted him during his breakout season so I have a soft spot.
Player I got robbed with: Genuinely, I was banking on Vasilevskiy dropping more due to his injury. I was hopeful I could have a situation similar to what happened in the MLB draft where I got Bryce Harper late with a steal and him bounce back and be genuinely great once he came back.

Thanks, but honestly if I didn't think we'd get at least 6-8 people at min, I wouldn't have done it, so really I'm just thankful the interest is there.

Heads up, puck drops tomorrow. Remember to set your line-ups, especially goaltending since that seems to rotate more also. May the ice tilt be forever in your favour.

Tonight is the first set of games. It is:

Nashville @ Tampa
Seattle @ Vegas
Bernard (I mean Chicago) @ Pittsburgh

No I will not do this every day. That would be a pain.

Found the Nashville and Tampa game really fun to watch and both teams turned it up in the 3rd period offensively, unfortunately the Lightning won.

Missed the other 2 games due to Super "Let's put all our programming on one day" Tuesday. Honestly would've preferred to watch both Vegas and Bernard's debut than the Preds/Lightning game but whatevs hahaha


And fantasy question: Do we not have a matchup against someone each week? Are we all just trying to race up the standings on our own, and what top seeds make the playoffs?

We're just racing up the standings. This is Rotisserie style so it is a matter of whoever has the most points wins. I figure with this format it is a bit more casual.

Put the pucks in the net, and the skates on the ice.

Todays games. Times listed are Atlantic Standard Time.

It also shows exactly why I am unable to really watch west-coast games.

I'll keep posting the daily games for at least opening week. Then I'll probably post the standings every week or two. Once again, times are Atlantic Standard time. Subtract an hour for Eastern.

Matthews instantly going ham

You'll grow to love him by the end of the season, or at least tolerate him. He's been on my fantasy team the past few years, could have selected him, but opted for Pasta.
