Attention IPB Leaguers! This post is for you! (This post is also mostly recycled from last year; we’re all about efficiency here at IPB.) By now you should have received an invite from Andrew to join either the Amazingleague or the Superleague. By now you should have registered your team. And by Thursday, September 24th — and this is the most important thing EVAH — you must exclude all of the players in your favorite team’s conference. If you’re a Blues fan (shudder), you must exclude all, and we mean all, players from Western Conference teams from your draft-eligble players list. If you’re a Panthers fan (what, St. Louis isn’t good enough for you?), you must exclude all, and we mean all, players from Eastern Conference teams from your draft-eligible players list. We mean business on this matter; this fantasy league is meant to be a fun educational experience, dammit! If you do not exclude all the necessary players from your draft-eligible list, and end up accidentally drafting players from the wrong conference, you will have to jettison them from your roster and then you’ll be stuck choosing from the dregs of the correct conference that were left behind. Believe us, that is a fate worse than death.
Now you might be asking, “That’s all well and good, but how do I exclude players, O Wise Ookies?” It’s simple:
1: Click on the “Draft Central” tab.
2: Select “Pre Draft Rankings” at the top of the screen.
3: Above the list of “Default Player Rankings”, there is a small link that reads “Edit My Rankings”.
4: The following screen shows three columns — Excluded Players, List of Players, My Players. You must go through every single player in the List of Players box and move all players from the conference you’re NOT drafting from, using the arrows between the boxes, to the Excluded Players box. This sounds like an unholy terror of a task, but really, it should take about 20 minutes. If you’re slow. And if you’re like Pookie, you’ll ask every few minutes, “Columbus is in the WC, right?” And if you’re like Schnookie, you’ll spend the entire exercise saying, “Thank goodness I’m not drafting from the East. All these players suck!” The most important step of all, once you’ve moved all the players you aren’t allowed to have on your team, is to hit the “SAVE” button at the top of the screen. Because goodness knows, you don’t want to have to do that all again, do you?
The Amazing and SuperLeagues will have auto-drafts, which means that once you’re done sorting your players, you’re good to go. The draft order will be set at random by Yahoo, and then when the computer runs the draft for us, you’ll be given the highest-ranked player available whenever your turn comes up. If you want to go with the pre-set rankings, that works. If you feel the pre-set rankings are totally bogus and don’t give, say, The Iron Boar (ranked number 421 over all) enough respect, then you can set your own rankings in the “My Players” box. The draft will be two days from today (namely: Thursday, September 24), so get sorting!
We’ll be providing updates on both the leagues here on IPB so you can enjoy all the fun and excitement from across the best fantasy league in all the land, but please take note of the message boards and smack talk features on Yahoo. Take note, and use prodigiously. The more swagger and smack talk the better, right? And taking the time to talk smack will help your bolster your self esteem as you face the unenviable task of taking on the juggernaut Craig Andersoxers and The Too Oranges. Starting today, you’re all gunning for second place.
“Columbus is in the WC, right?”
I do the same thing, only with Nashville. Then again, I get the Preds and Thrashers mixed up on a regular basis, so what do I know.
I get Columbus and Carolina confused. I went through mine last night. Tonight I get to go through and see what I missed. That’s all I get to do because the Stars game isn’t even going to be on the radio. Humph.
I kept getting Phi/Pho and Min/Mon messed up. I think it’s all correct now though. And if it isn’t, well that’s just too bad for me.

Me too! On all counts! Sheesh — we make this sound like it’s really easy in our instructions, but in real life, there I am with a printout of the league’s divisions, a compass, and a road atlas, completely unable to figure out which way is up. Heh. The one that REALLY kills me, though, is Toronto, because they were in the Central Division when we first started watching hockey. I just can’t shake it!

A compass and a road atlas, why didn’t I think of that? :P
I never know what to do with Toronto either.
Hey, Hub was looking at an ad for a job in New Jersey. Got any houses for sale in your neighborhood? Ha.
I never know what to do with Toronto either.
Of course, at the end of the day, it’s still the Leafs. Who has ANY idea what to do with them? :P
And I think we do have some houses for sale in our area! In fact, the house next door to us was foreclosed AGES ago — it’s just sitting there waiting for you guys to move in! :D (Where in NJ was the job?)
Hub, where in NJ was it?
I think he said south NJ but all I heard was NJ and then I put my fingers in my ears and started saying, “I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening.” Nothing against Jersey, it’s just a long long way from my sister. :)
Nothing against Jersey, it’s just a long long way from my sister.
I hear that. I’d feel exactly the same way if Dallas was suddenly put on the table for me! (South Jersey, eh? Probably RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US! You could become Devils fans! :P)
Ok, our neighbor just brought us donuts (he’s an insurance salesman). These things are the biggest and best donuts I have ever had. The man is truly evil.
Hm. I’m not a huge fan of donuts, but I’m so hungry right now that I think I’d probably welcome them. Your neighbor really is evil, Myra! :P
Hub, where in NJ was it?
The plant is across from Staten Island. I believe there may have been some comments about the smell on the Jersey Turnpike as you get closer to NYC. The position, however, would be in Texas.

Oh, well, if the plant’s up north like that, it’s better to just stay in Texas. I’m afraid the empty house next door to us would be a terrible choice, considering the commute to North Jersey… :P
Good morning!
I had a blast yesterday night. The habs were nice to me and decided not to completely fall apart.
And I don’t know if it’s just for the preseason, but Gionta is the bestest player in the world. Fast, playing hard, scoring goals and making good passes. I looooove it.
Sooooo… it’s Thursday? Is that what I’m hearing? :P

Ok, that is what I get for putting my fingers in my ears and going “lalalalalala”. I didn’t even hear that part.

I’m so glad you had a great time! Hub and I both thought about you last night and said, I bet Grrreg is having fun!
it’s Thursday? Is that what I’m hearing?
Might be. :D
Grrrreg, I’m so glad you had a good time at the game!
I went back Sunday night and found a whole bunch of extra WC players on my list. I assume they were late-added prospects. Probably won’t get down the list that far in the draft, but you never know. Might be a good idea to make one more pass today or tomorrow.
You’re right Patty. I sorted my list two days ago, and I just had like 40 new players to exclude right now…
it’s Thursday? Is that what I’m hearing?
I wish. I just spent the entire morning inputting an invoice in the convoluted government invoicing system, only to have it throw me out just when I submitted it. Now I get to start all over. Stupid government system. :(
I only sorted until I got to the point where no one’s ever heard of any of the players. If our draft gets that deep, it’s not going to be that catastrophic if I end up picking an EC guy by accident and having to replace him. Heh.
it’s not going to be that catastrophic if I end up picking an EC guy by accident and having to replace him.
So the cover story is already in place for when you pick the Iron Boar, right?
And for those of us playing in the WC, scratch Adam Burish off your lists. He’s out 6 months with an ACL tear.
…scratch Adam Burish off your lists. He’s out 6 months with an ACL tear.
Ooh, yikes. I hate hearing about players getting knocked out for months in the preseason. (Um…Blackhawks? I can’t remember.)

I am now in full conformance with Amazing League regulations and guidelines so there can be no complaints when I win. Well maybe not full since I got bored of this activity at about the 550 mark. I did discover there is a goalie named Mike Brodeur, is there any relation to our coach-superseding Marty? I also saw that Jonny Oduya was ranked one higher than Sergei Gonchar, which seems more than a little odd.
Ummm… where’s team #14 in the SuperLeague?
WOOOOOOOOO!!
I went to the most DELIGHTFUL Canucks game last night! I still can barely talk! It was bonkers.
Oh and my cousin almost sliced off Kovalev’s head. Heeheeehee!
Well maybe not full since I got bored of this activity at about the 550 mark.
Yeah, that’s about where I stopped off. So I’m sure there will be LOTS of complaining when I win. :P
I don’t know where team #14 is! Come on, mystery team! Get yourself signed up!
alix, I’m so glad you had a good time at the game!
Aw man, I was all excited for Myra and Hub and The Kid to move in next door! :(
Aw man, I was all excited for Myra and Hub and The Kid to move in next door! :(
For a brief moment, I was too. I had myself all convinced it was actually going to happen, and then I was like, “Don’t be ridiculous.” But it would have been fun. We could have gossiped about the neighborhood over the backyard fence! (There is no backyard fence, but we could put one in.)
I stopped at 330 – I figured that at 16 players per squad, 7 WC teams = 112 players required, and I’ve got 169 available before it flips over to an EC player!
Plus, I’m a lazy man. Very lazy.
Plus, I’m a lazy man. Very lazy.
Ah, but see, I was too lazy to do the math to figure out how deep the draft would go. I’m not sure which of us counts as lazier. :P
I’d tell you just how lazy I am, but I can’t be bothe…
Feh, y’all are such slackers. I went through the whole list. Because I’m completely paranoid we’re going to end up at like 1000 and I’ll accidentally pick some EC-er and it’ll be a disaster.
Whoa. I think I need to re-read that post. I’m all, “Huh?” and then I read that Schookie’s not a fan of donuts. Not a fan of donuts? Why, I never!

HAHAHAHAHA! It WILL be a disaster! Your hard work wasn’t for naught! You’ve just barely avoided your entire fantasy season being a heap of flaming wreckage right out of the gate! (Doesn’t that make you feel better about doing all that extra work? :P)
Not a fan of donuts? Why, I never!
Heh. Yeah. I didn’t get the donut-appreciation gene. And I’m not ashamed to admit it. :P
Donuts, where did those come from? I’m all about the baked goods today. One of my co-workers brought in cut out cookies in Halloween shapes, and on the pumpkins, she added pumpkin pie spice to the icing. They’re extremely yummy.
Aw man, I was all excited for Myra and Hub and The Kid to move in next door! :(
YAY! They’re staying! WOOOO!
Yeah. I didn’t get the donut-appreciation gene.
I didn’t either. My coworkers think I’m nuts because one guy brings in two boxes of Krispy Kremes every Friday and I’m the only one who doesn’t touch them.
(I’d rather have pie. Can’t we have Friday pie instead?)
There are no Krispy Kremes in Scotland. I was recently on a training course in the south of England, and after taking a few requests, brought back 5 dozen. That was an epic car-load of doughnuts.
Iain, if there are any Krispy Kremes left over on Fridays, I could always make the argument that there are Krispy Kreme-less people in Scotland that could use some donuts shipped to them. I’m sure my officemates would love to donate some donuts.
(Although they’d be awfully stale by the time they got there, I’d think.)
My people’s plight is a tragic one. On the other hand, we do still deep-fry pretty much everything else, so we’ve got that going for us.
I’d rather have pie. Can’t we have Friday pie instead?
Ew! No pie either! Cooked fruit gives me the heebie-jeebies. (Our neighbor gave us a fresh-baked apple cake yesterday, and I very carefully ate around all the chunks of apple.)
Iain, 5 dozen is… quite a few donuts. Heh. I’m loving this mental image of, like, a clown car of donuts. :D
Yeah. I didn’t get the donut-appreciation gene.
I didn’t either. My coworkers think I’m nuts because one guy brings in two boxes of Krispy Kremes every Friday and I’m the only one who doesn’t touch them.
I’m not a fan either, but I particularly hate co-workers who scoff when you pass up the donuts they brought in and snidely ask, “Why? Are you on a diet?” Try to picture the facial expression they get back as I’m usually shoving a peanut butter cup or Reece’s pieces in my mouth while they’re asking.
Alright, I printed out the conferences and I’m ready to go…

You guys, I just got an email from our contractor (who is working on Pookie’s bathroom now) that a transformer in our neighborhood blew and there’s no power. Now, I am irrationally unhappy at the prospect of being without electricity at the best of times (probably because literally every single thing in our house runs on electricity, including our well water), but the Devils are playing the Trannies tonight on TV and we have the new Katamari. If the power isn’t restored by the time I get home, I am going to be so upset.
If the power isn’t restored by the time I get home, I am going to be so upset.
I’d cut a bitch. Seriously. Getting amped up for a game, then having it ripped away from you is just. not. cool.
Alright, I’ve made it to 37, and I already need a break. If these bastards are going to get themselves traded, at least stay in the same conference! I’m looking at you, Heatley.
Wait, whahhh? Ray Emery is 74?? Eff that.
Getting amped up for a game, then having it ripped away from you is just. not. cool.
I know. I had IMed with Pookie earlier that between the game, the Katamari, the stitching project I’m working on, and my plans for tonight’s dinner, life was pretty grand. JOKE’S ON ME! I just told my boss that when there’s no power at my house, I tend to lose my connection to civilization in a blink of an eye. In that, I’ll be running around feral in the woods by tomorrow morning. That, or I will have given up on life. He was like, “Okay, so what things do I need to know before you leave tonight, so we’re all covered when we never see you again?”
He was like, “Okay, so what things do I need to know before you leave tonight, so we’re all covered when we never see you again?”
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: For some reason, I don’t think your boss is taking this seriously.
Yikes! No electricity!?!
You should call the electric company and report it. Maybe everybody else is assuming somebody else called and they don’t know about it.
I like the occasional donut, but the novelty of Krispy Kreme has kind of worn off. I like my Shipley’s better. But I only like glazed ones if they’re still warm.
For some reason, I don’t think your boss is taking this seriously.
I asked him that, and he admitted that no, he’s not too worried. He’s all, “I’m worried about this trip next week to India, and how our colleagues there haven’t been taking care of all the arrangements they’re responsible for, and how I’m going to be stranded in the Bangalore airport at 3 in the morning.” And I’m all, “You think I care about THAT? Dude, BEAKS IS IN THE LINEUP TONIGHT AND I’M GOING TO MISS IT!”
If the power’s not on by the time I get home, I might as well just burn down the house, right?
we have the new Katamari
THERE’S A NEW KATAMARI?!
Dude, y’all, not having power SUCKS. I am so sorry! They’d better get that fixed ASAP before some Monsters Are Due On Maple Street shit starts.
Ew! No pie either! Cooked fruit gives me the heebie-jeebies.
What about chocolate pie?!
Patty, I too prefer Shipley’s, if I have a choice. But I’ve never been fond of donuts, period, because the glazed kind taste like you’re biting into a sugar cube with all that sweetness.
I’m going to be stranded in the Bangalore airport at 3 in the morning.
That’s sounds like the beginning of a horror movie.
If the power’s not on by the time I get home, I might as well just burn down the house, right?
It’s what any reasonable person would do.
I had a 8:00 am class over a Krispy Kreme freshman year of college. 8:00 am is prime “hot out of the oven” donut time. I finally broke down once and ended up the biggest, most terrible sugar high ever. That was the end of Krispy kremes before noon for me. (Although, actually, I’m not a big fan on them. I much prefer the extremes of either a Dunkin Donuts donut or a freshmade donut from the Jewish bakery down the block. Those things are fan-freaking-tastic. They’re totally unlike the donuts you get at Dunkin or Krispy Kreme.)
As for the power being out, I’m trying to put it out of my mind until I get home. ::rocks back and forth::
OH!! I forgot the best part of my day! My father and uncle are visiting me for the preseason Leafs game tomorrow. So between my classes I trot down planning on buying cheap $25 tickets in the 300s. Well, the ticket lady informs me that the lower bowl is now discounted to $20! “Hawt damn!” I say, and purchase my tickets. I then proceed to watch the Sabres practice for about 45 minutes while doing my homework. Which I believe now makes me a nerd AND a dork.
but the Devils are playing the Trannies tonight on TV
Calm down grasshopper. Unless you are talking about the baby Devils, that game isn’t until Thursday.
I didn’t bother doing the math when it came to sorting out the draft rankings, I just looked up how far we went last year, which wastwo hundred and something, so I just ranking and excluding until I got to a nice even 300.
But I’ve never been fond of donuts, period, because the glazed kind taste like you’re biting into a sugar cube with all that sweetness.
In general, I don’t like glazed, unless they’re warm from Shipley’s. But I do like the cake donuts from most places. I like the maple frosting. Or the pink. :D And I like a raised donut with cinnamon-sugar instead of glazed.
The best thing about Shipley’s? They have a drive-thru.
The Trannies are playing Detroit tonight, I think. They’re playing someone. And it won’t be on our tv! Because our tv might as well be a paperweight! (I’m most upset about not being able to play the new Katamari. I’ve been so looking forward to it! And I’m sick! Surely the Happiness Gods will take pity on me and will fix the power, right? Right?!)
Calm down grasshopper. Unless you are talking about the baby Devils, that game isn’t until Thursday.
Okay, FINE! SOMEONE is playing the Trannies tonight! (I actually have had Tuesday/Thursday mix-up so severely today that I ended up telling my VP that there was supposed to be a meeting going on that she needed to be at RIGHTTHEN, except I was looking at Thursday’s schedule. I’m a wreck.) AND I’M NOT GOING TO SEE IT!!!
Which I believe now makes me a nerd AND a dork.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That’s an awesome story, though, about the tickets! WOO HOOO! (I’m sorry I won’t be alive then to share it with you. I will have perished in a ditch at the side of the road somewhere, unwilling to go on with this terrible life in which I have neither internet connection nor running water.)

Okay, on the donuts, they were from a local shop called “Kountry Donuts”. Did you all catch that they spelled it with a “k”, kute, huh. Lame. Anyway, they were huge and very very dense and only glazed on top so they weren’t as sugary. I am not much of a donut person either and especially not Krispy Kreme’s, too sweet. But these were FABULOUS. Which is sooo not good for me. I made Dave come and take them away. He and the Kid love donuts, so I begged him to come take them home for their after school “snack”.
And that is my donut story.
This was more appropriate for yesterday, but we received mail for Stars group offers and if you meet Brett Hull you can get Free tickets.
I’m thinking getting a group together might be good if Caitlin is a part. Toronto game might be good- half off, free tickets, Hockey, fireworks when Hagman comes up when meeting Hull!

Thanks, Caitlin! I think it was the combination of my doom and gloom and yours and mcguggs’s positivity. That blown Decepticon was no match for our psychic energies! :P
I just got back from my flu shot. Glad to hear that power is restored at IPB Manor.
I’m reviewing my team picks before making a stuffed pork chop for dinner. Yum!

Stupid Decepticons. Glad you guys are back to full stitching/Katamari-ing/tranny watching strength!
Amy, a stuffed pork chop sounds delicious. Nom.
Ooh, way to be proactive before flu season, Amy! And to have stuffed pork chops! Sounds like a pretty good day, if you ask me (assuming you don’t have an adverse reaction to the flu shot, of course…). :D
the contractor probably just threw the breaker for a minute so he could take the day off.
That was my theory, too. Or that he did it accidentally and blamed some vague imaginary transformer “down the street.”
assuming you don’t have an adverse reaction to the flu shot, of course…
As someone who is in the middle of said averse reaction: Pray that doesn’t happen. Go down on your knees and beg the Gods to be nice to you. Doesn’t matter which God, any God will do at that point. I feel like I’m DYING.
Also, YAY POWER!
Yeah for power back on and stuffed pork chops.
We Stars fans are going to have to live vicariously through y’all tonight as the Stars game is not even going to be on the radio. Pooh. Oh, well. They are playing the Panthers, so I’m probably not missing anything. Since they are both Southern teams and according to all Canadian media, none of the Southern teams are any good.
Do I sound bitter?

And on that note, I’m going to head home and luxuriate in the deliciousness that is having electricity. See y’all later!

Just a little. But only a tiny bit.
Aren’t the Panthers doing radio or something for it either? Because that’s just lame.
Unless something has changed since this morning, no. :(
assuming you don’t have an adverse reaction to the flu shot, of course…
Knock wood, I haven’t had a reaction to a flu shot yet. I just have the head cold that’s working it’s way around my office. Nose and eyes are killing me.
Howdy, everyone! I’m sitting in a cradle of humming electricity, and it’s the MOST WONDERFUL THING EVER!!!!
(Amy, I’m so sorry about your cold. Pookie’s just getting over one, too. I keep thinking I’m getting it, but so far so good.)
Woo, fantasy hockey! I’m sorting through the conferences right now. It’s been a long time since I commented (silly work and school), but I’m so excited for hockey! I went to a preseason game against the Sharks last night, and it had a bit of everything. Pretty goals, old people making out on Kiss Cam, a nice-try-but-still-hilariously-bad-fight from Bobby Ryan, and a nice cool arena. Wheee!
Ookies, I’m glad you have electricity and yay for new Katamari. Amy and Pookie, sorry to hear about the colds. I’ve got one, too, and my mom’s all,”How can you be sick?! It’s 100 degrees outside!”
Anyway, I should probably shut up now and go to bed, but, wooooooooooo hockey!
Hey zot! Great to hear from you!
