Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This game wasn't running when Luc died. But we can name it the 'Bourdon-Rypien Memorial Trophy' I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterhawks Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Not to be callous, but if it wasn't done for Bourdon then why should it be renamed for Rypper? Luc's death was tragic and was felt greatly by us fans as well. If the majority think it's a good idea, I won't argue it, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 With all due respect to Rypien. This is first year where it is the 'Fantasy Cup', and we are gonna change it right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions of Nothing Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think naming the trophy after Rypien would be a nice touch, but wouldn't be offended if the powers that be decide against it. If there was a vote, I'd be for re-naming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'd be ok with it. Or maybe we could have a special trophy for the player with the most fights? Also, last year we didn't have a way of giving home ice advantage to teams in the playoffs. I floated an idea by the league exec last year that was too late to implement but I thought I'd run it past y'all. How about spotting the home team 5 points so that if it is an exceptionally tight series than it will be a factor but it most cases will not? I think last year most series were won by over 20 points.

theminister Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The counter argument I would make to that CON is that 5 points is incredibly small. I think once you see the season in progress that it will be very apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions of Nothing Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 How well does the current playoff structure work out anyways? I mean, someone could blow the rest of the league away in the regular season, and have all of his players in in round 1. Even if he wins round 1, he'd be in round 2 of the playoffs with no players. Have you found any issues with this? Or what if in the finals 1 team had no players left and the other team had just 1 scrub left. The League championship could be won on an assist by Andrew Alberts and finish 1-0? Just wondering if this has gone smoothly, or if there has been any issues.

Champions of Nothing Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think your previous logic still holds true....if you win by the smallest of margins or the scrubbiest of players....a win's still a win. Like any good team, you've got to be good enough to get in the playoffs, and then you've got to have the players to take you onward. Shouldn't be an issue unless one's not signing guys or trading for guys to help themselves do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The playoff structure works well IMHO. There is an ample amount of uncertainty which makes it wide open and it leaves room for teams to make their predictions based on the horses they go with. The best part is that it makes you watch every game because an upset can have dramatic effects. Also, a sweep can be devastating because your players only play 4 games. It's really really exciting to be a part of. And gut wrenching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've just never done a league with this playoff format. It's different, to say the least. I'm looking forward to it though. I think I have underrated players on playoff teams though so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aixtek Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Me too. First go at a fantasy league such as this. I'm learning, day by day, that there's a long-view approach that has do be taken and thought of, every step of the way.....and that it's a chess game. As much as one builds for today, they have to be cognizant of tomorrow. Fun fact....scotch and free agent offers are a bad mix.....who knew?
