So a new season is about to begin, and it’s time for the discussion about a hockey pool.

So far, Norweigan Oiler has brought up the topic of a “keeper” league. If you are unfamiliar with what a keeper league is, do a google search on that, but it involves keeping part of your roster from year to year.

We also have been discussing a trophy. In this case, we are going to have a virtual trophy, for sure. It will be a pic on the site somewhere (probably in the sidebar) that we’ll up date year to year to show the winners. It will be Stanley Cup style in the sense that it will maintain a list of all winners (although it will look completely different). We’re also considering a cheap-o prize. Maybe some POTF wear of some sort. But nothing has been decided there just yet. If you have ideas, let me know.

So, who is interested in a keeper pool? How about a standard pool if you don’t like keeper pools? Please vote once so we know what kind of interest there is…

Would you be interested in a POTF Hockey Pool this year? I am interested in a Keeper Pool specifically. I am interested in a Hockey Pool, but not a Keeper Pool. I'm not interested in a Hockey Pool at all. I'm interested in any kind of Hockey Pool and will kick all your asses! View Results  Loading ...

Happy Wednesday!  And now, for the Monday Morning Standings…

The Weak in Oil

Well the week wasn’t totally weak with a win in Anaheim, but that was about the only highlight.  Small improvements over the previous week in the GAA stat, but I don’t think that’s any indicator of a defensive recovery with the number of shots that have been sent Dubnyk’s way.  Belle has been reassigned so that Smid can return to the lineup.

Thanks to all of you who came out and joined the 2nd annual Putting On The Foil Hockey Pool drafts. We’re thinking about making this one a keeper pool (meaning we keep a certain number of guys when we do it again next year) but we’re not sure on that just yet (nor sure how to do it with a Yahoo pool).

Anyways, here are the picks you losers made, for posterity’s sake: Continue reading '2nd Annual POTF Hockey Pool Drafts Complete'»

Well, the Putting on the Foil pool filled up pretty quick (and it looks to be an awesome year) but there have been a few comments here and there about people that missed out.

So, due to this we are thinking about putting together another pool. Racki and myself (possibly Trogdor but I haven’t asked him yet) will be participating in this one as well, but it will only go forward if we can get at least 8-10 people.

Post a comment here if you are in.

Also, if anyone in the other pool wants in to a second one I’m sure we can do that, but obviously first dibs goes to those that may have missed out on the last one.

And again, if we don’t get enough people then we won’t go forward with this one.
