Who's The Big Winner?
I won my fantasy hockey league! Behind the stellar play of goalie Martin Brodeur, rookie phenom Evgeni Malkin and wingers Alexander Ovechkin and Teemu Selanne, my team (Furiously Lethargic) finished the season in first place. This marks the second season I have played fantasy hockey. Last season was riddled with trial and error, while this season was an efficient scoring machine in comparison.
I have played fantasy football for several years, but never got the enjoyment that fantasy hockey has returned. Winning certainly increases the happiness quotient. Fantasy hockey has a little more involvement than fantasy football, but less than fantasy baseball. I guess I could play fantasy basketball to match the same involvement, but who would want to follow the NBA? Yechh!
I have fully embraced hockey now. Prior to playing fantasy hockey, I had a remedial knowledge of non-Carolina Hurricane players and teams. Now I feel I have a thorough knowledge of the entire NHL. Hopefully Furiously Lethargic can use this victory to build a dynasty.
