TheDaveyG 6 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 There are currently 3 games left in the FCHL regular season. The three Divisional winners and the next three top point producing teams make the playoffs. Seeds 1 and 2 get a first round bye. Currently 4 teams have clinched playoffs spots:Blindsides (Rinswun) won Tugnutt DivisionBlackDevilHawks (DaveyG) won Division SupremeWhalers (Mapleleafpoker) Lost Cause (AJS510) The Whalers and Lost Cause are both in Gilmour Div, and the winner of that division will get the first overall seed. The Whalers lead the LC by 3 points with 3 to play. The Blindsides lead the race for the #2 seed by 1 point over the BDH.The Shaftsbury Wheat Aled (RMunro) can clinch a berth with a win tonight OR a Broadway (Untilted) loss. The Newmarket Hurricanes (MapleLeafs) can clinch a berth with a win AND a Broadway loss. The Altona Maroons (Nell789) are eliminated if they lose or the Hurricanes win.The asdfjkl; (Ottawa Biatch), Injured Reserve (Fenxis), Tulane Flyers (TunlaneFlyr) and Halifax Moneyshots (DannyG) are all making tee-times in Palm Beach.

serge 904 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 it would be fun to somehow have a WORLD SERIES of sorts, AHL champ vs FCHL champ....Not sure if we can work it into the NHL schedule though..it would be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thursday's showdown for first overall is sick, good lineups for both teams:Lost Cause (Gilmour Division - 44-31-1 - 89 points)F - Daniel Alfredsson (vs Los Angeles)F - Martin Erat (vs Vancouver)F - Ray Whitney (vs Minnesota)F - Andrei Kostitsyn (vs Phoenix)F - Michal Handzus (vs Ottawa)F - Brian Rolston (vs Carolina)D - Shea Weber (vs Vancouver)D - Lubomir Visnovsky (vs Ottawa)D - Filip Kuba (vs Philadelphia)D - Ryan Whitney (vs Florida)G - Nashville (vs Vancouver)Whalers (Gilmour Division - 44-30-2 - 90 points)F - Vincent Lecavalier (vs Philadelphia)F - Alex Kovalev (vs Phoenix)F - Jason Spezza (vs Los Angeles)F - Marco Sturm (vs Toronto)F - Markus Naslund (vs Nashville)F - Teemu Selanne (vs Colorado)D - Mathieu Schnieder (vs Colorado)D - Jay Bouwmeester (vs Pittsburgh)D - Bryan McCabe (vs Boston)D - Scott Niedermayer (vs Colorado)G - Phoenix (vs Montreal)The Lost Cause now control their own destiny for the #1 overall seed in the FCHL and the coveted 1st round bye. With only two games left the formula is clear and it is simple: Win both remaining games and the 1st round bye is ours. Lose against the Whalers on Thursday and there's no shot. Whomever ends up with the #4 seed is guaranteed a showdown against a very tough Shaftsbury Wheat Ales team in the 1st round. The players to watch in this Gilmour Division showdown will be Andrei Kostitsyn and Markus Naslund. Any points for those players count as an extra +0.5, as they are shooting against the opposing team's goalies. Link to post Share on other sites
rinswun 6 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 pretty sick to tie with the best score of the night, especially when you are playing the number 12 team in the league! oh well, must win the last two games of the season and hope the BDH dont make up 9 goals the last 2 games and i secure my 1st round bye.

Math formula would solve problem of different leagues. We could create a factor of points scored per AHL games compared to FCHL games. We would take that factor and multiply it by the actual score of the FCHL team Link to post Share on other sites

Untilted 158 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 sounds interesting..you seem like a math guyWhen it comes to fantasy sports, there are the math guys and the hockey knowledge guys. I definetly fall under the math category. The people who have both are the ones that dominate fantasy leagues. I don't have enough time to follow many teams so I mostly rely on other peoples resources for information and fall back on the math part of it.Here is how an AHL/FCHL matchup would work.Average points per AHL game during entire regular season: 3Average points per FCHL game during entire regular season: 4Factor = 3/4 = .75 ( FCHL 4 * .75 = 3 )Hypothetical matchup would have ARP vs BOBGame 1 actual score: ARP 3.5 BOB 3Game 1 score with the above factor: ARP 2.62 ( 3.5 * .75 ) BOB 3 Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I like it...We will run it by the AHL guys, see what they think...Bob will jump in I am sure. Link to post Share on other sites

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The fantasy hockey gods are so cruel to toy with John's emotions like this.Sorry Jay, but tomorrow is another guaranteed win night for the Ales.So far this season, the Ales are 4-2 on their guarantees, including a very respectable 1-1 against the MapleLeafs franchise.It looks like we have to re-name our franchise to the dream crushers.
