Tonight, April 29, 2008, in the Stanley Cup playoffs, you can see for yourself right on the TV that the New York Rangers are winning 3 to 0, keeping the mediocre Pittsburg Penguins down to ZERO.
News reports and even the live commentators were under the delusion that Pittsburg actually won the game 5-3, but as you can see from this picture, clearly, the final score was New York 3, Pittsburg 0
I've never done any sort of fantasy sports thing before, but I decided to give it a go after a friend at work talked me into joining his league over at ESPN.com. So I did, and without much of a clue at all, I got a team created, the Anchorage Cougar Cats. Last week our 10-team league had it's draft, and I came out of it in excellent shape.
For those of you who follow hockey, here's my roster:
| Lastname | Firstname | Position |
| Bergeron | Patrice | C |
| Kopitar | Anze | C |
| Gomez | Scott | C |
| McDonald | Andy | C |
| Tallinder | Henrik | D |
| Hamhuis | Dan | D |
| Salo | Sami | D |
| Regehr | Robyn | D |
| Malik | Marek | D |
| Volchenkov | Anton | D |
| Semin | Alexander | LW |
| Stillman | Cory | LW |
| Jokinen | Jussi | LW |
| Tanguay | Alex | LW |
| Zubrus | Dainius | RW |
| Bertuzzi | Todd | RW |
| Michalek | Milan | RW |
| Pominville | Jason | RW |
| Lundqvist | Henrik | G |
| Budaj | Peter | G |
| Howard | Jimmy | G |
Now if you aren't into hockey, trust me, this is an excellent lineup to come out of the draft with. Surely you have heard of Scott Gomez, right? Anyhow, even if I don't have a clue on how to play fantasy hockey, at least I've got something to work with.
