Just want to see how some other fantasy drafts went, my pool's top 10 definitely raised some eyebrows:
1st: Ovechkin
2nd: Luongo
3rd: Malkin
4th: Crosby
5th: Nash
6th: Kovalchuk
7th: Datsyuk
8th: Getzlaf
9th: Thornton
10th: Vanek
What were your top ten like? Any picks on mine surprise you?
The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal.

Our pool gives extra points, for shorties gwgs, and OT goals. Hat tricks, and shut outs. So here is our top ten:
Crosby<-My pick
Heatley<-My pick (I'm somewhat ashamed cause I'm a sens fan but I got him 6th round with 6 people picking)
Thorton
Marleu
Gaborik
H.Sedin
Kopitar
Iginla<-My pick
Perry
Nash |

Hmm, this is kind of a neat topic.
My draft pool is goal-scoring heavy . . . 2 pts for a goal (1 for assist), extra points for a SHgoal, OT goal, and +10 for a hattrick. Goalies get two for a win, 5 for a shutout, extra points for OT win and shootout win. D-men count +/- for/against their totals.
1. Ovechkin
2. Crosby
3. Heatley
4. Malkin
5. Kovalchuk
6. Datsyuk
7. M.Green (D)
8. Brodeur (G)
9. Parise
10. Nash
Funny thing is, they are all looking like good picks, despite the fact that I was thinking Crosby was picked a bit early considering he's not going to score nearly as many as a Kovalchuk or Heatley . . . and yet, he's got more than Ovechkin right now, so who knows?
I picked 5th, so Kovy's my man. He has to start picking it up in the hattrick dept. soon though!

btw, my math may be a bit rusty, guest 4758 . . . but riddle me this:
If there were 6 people in your pool, and you are listing the pool's top ten picks . . . how did you manage to get three picks out of the top ten? Did everyone start drinking early that night and you took full advantage, or . . . ?

Beans,
Everyone in my pool was kind of shocked to see Luongo go 2nd overall as well. Our pool is scored like this:
1 point for Goal
1 point for Asist
2 Points for a Goalie Win
1 extra point for a shutout
Selections were worm effect, so last guy picked twice in a row. I had first overall pick and took Ovie.
Our pool has a grand total of 7 teams, 10 players per team:
6 Forwards
2 Defence
2 Goalies
We have a waiver rule where you can swap an undrafted player for someone on your team if you pay in an extra buy in. Notable undrafted players include:
B. Richards
B. Morrow
M. Ribeiro
A. Kopitar
R. Smyth
D. Penner
I. Bryzgalov
P. Elias
All of the above players have since been picked up across various teams. The pot keeps growing 
The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal. |

Kopitar was not picked at all?? WOW!!!
The others, with the exception of Elias and Morrow are not real surprises. Penner hasn't had a 40 point season in 3 years, he's on pace for 80+. That's a sleeper pick that might mean the difference between winning or not in the end.
And as I have said on here countless times, it's rarely the 1st round players that win or lose a draft. There might be a 10-20 point spread between 1st and 10th in scoring.
Who wins you your pool is the 6th rounder projected for 40 points that get 80. Like Penner. Like Prospal. |

Well, that is one thing I can certainly agree with Beans on: winning a pool is all about the homework you do on your middle round picks, provided you don't take a total flyer in the first few rounds (like Vanek going tenth!).
I am second in my pool right now, and it's all because of some of my middle round picks: Kopitar (10th), Marleau (5th), Laich (15th). Another thing is not having more than one player who is totally sucking or got injured early (Franzen for me, unfortunately). One you can't really help much, but the other you can by just doing your homework.

Marleau was picked up last in our draft (yay me!) Our pool admin suggested he might have a 'decent' season

I'm currently in first by 10 in my pool, with another 24 point gap between second and third. 1 per goal, 1 per assist. It was a snake-style draft where I was 9th out of 12. There's also a rule where your worst 2 don't count towards your total, to help make up for injuries, although I still tried to take people that don't get injured much until the end where I relaxed a bit on that... My team looks like, in order:
1 - Thornton
2 - Nash
3 - Toews
4 - Ryan
5 - Stastny
6 - M. Koivu
7 - Weiss
8 - Gonchar (blarg.. underperforming + injuries)
9 - Brassard (he got demoted off of Nash's line :-( )
10 - Phaneuf
11 - Sullivan
12 - Morisson (sneaker pick :-) )
Lessons learned so far: Defencemen are bad picks. So far, I have 2 "best pick of the round" in Thornton & Stastny with Koivu 1 point behind Stamkos for the lead in the 6th. I've got 2 people under average as well - Toews & Gonchar, although both missed lots of games. |

I read the review wrong, I thought we were listing the current top ten point getters, not the top ten to go. |

Beans, you can't be happy with Havlat's performance so far! I'd put him in with Spezza as a disappointment on your list! I got him in one of my pools too......
As for Vanek going in your top ten, i got that beat. In a pool that we drafted just after the season began, one guy, obviously not all that good at pools or doesn't watch much hockey, took Brooks Laich 5th (maybe 6th) OVERALL! Yeah, great start, but there were some pretty nice names left on the board (obviously)! Sad part is, the guy's in 6th place out of 13 right now! If he'd have taken someone else, he'd prob be a couple spots higher!

I'm not really happy about Havlat, but I am not disappointed either. Going to Minny, I expected him to drop in production. He was more of a rick pick. I have a couple of trades I can make in February and I get all the points of who ever I trade for.
Spezza, on the other hand, should be double what he has done to this point. At least double if not more. |

1 point for goals and assists, 1 point for win and 4 points for shut out.
Snake style draft, 9 participants:
1- Ovechkin
2- Crosby
3- Malkin
4- Datsyuk
5- Kovalchuk
6- Thornton
7- Heatley
8- Backstrom (WSH)
9- Getzlaf (my pick)
10- Parise (my pick)
I had the last pick and I'm currently 3rd and 7 points behind 1st. I also had the last pick last year and won (7 participants). Had the 10th pick out of 12 participants 2 years before and finished 2nd or 3rd.
Either it's an advantage picking in the later rounds or I am incredibly gifted at hockey pools. I believe the later to be true. ;) |

Everyone seems to have different names for their draft styles but assuming "snake" means you go 1 thru 10 then 10 picks 11th back up to 1 getting the 20th?
IMO, you're good at pools and know your hockey because the whole purpose of this style is to keep it an even playing field. One pool i'm in, the guy with 10th pick (out of 10) won 3 straight years. Luckily for me, it was me two of the three times! |

You serious? Blake, 5th overall? Jason Blake? Rob Blake? Does it matter? Heck, you could give that guy both and it's still a bad pick 5th overall! Throw in Blake Wheeler and it might make a little more sense? A true 3 for 1 deal?
The guy / gal who took Hossa 8th is almost as bad, seeing as it was known he'd miss a couple months? Guest9321, hope you weren't one of these guys..... |

Dude! Backstrom in the second round is a great pick and i can sorta see him slipping through the cracks. BUT, Thornton in the third round? He was 4th or 5th overall in every draft i saw and / or participated in! I almost took him with the 3rd pick (over Crosby) in one of my drafts! As much as i wanna give you a pat on the back for stealing him in the 3rd round, i say shame on you for letting him slip to a spot you never should have gotten him !!! Only way he should slide to third round would be in a three team draft!!! |

01. Alex Ovechkin

11. Zach Parise
12. Jonathan Toews
As for my own team, i'm usually always in the top 3, but i've been devasted by injuries/under achievers this season & currently in 8th place
It's my own fault though, most o the players who have been injured (Briere, Morrow, Hemsky, Spezza, Selanne, Williams, etc), have a history of such. And some of the gambles i took (Brassard, Mueller, Perron, Tanguay) just didn't pay off.
Malkin
Heatley
Spezza
Briere
Hemsky
Selanne
Morrow
Brassard
Tanguay
Horton
Horcoff
Prospal
Perron
Cole
Mueller
Williams
Dubinsky
Lombardi
Finally, a player i've been very disappointed in this season is Alex Tanguay. I thought he was going to have a big year playing with talented linemates such as Lecavalier, St.Louis, Stamkos & Malone. He's been healthy all season, yet sits at just 9 goals & 34 points. I had him pegged for between 60-70. |

Who were your pool's top 10?
