Rangers are one game closer to a Canucks-Rangers Stanley Cup final. We shall see.

Ok folks,

time to get in gear for this year's EhMac Hockey Pool. Hopefully we can attract more participants this season. Dr. G is the reining champion.

Question for gwillikers who set up the group last year - Can we just log back into Sportnet and re-join the ehMac group?

Who's in????

That has been the case the last couple of years, but I cannot log in with my old name and password this year. Try yours, and see how it goes....

SPORTSNET.CA Fantasy Hockey Pool - Commissioner

Perhaps they've made significant changes for this year, which will require new registrations. In any event it's easy to create an ehMac group for all to join. Anyone can do it, just register at the link above, and create an ehMac group. Then post the password you created the group with, to this thread.

last year the commissioner style pool came out early and the "normal" version we were all accustomed to came online closer to the start of the season. I am keeping an eye on things to see if it happens again this year. I normally look after a family and friends pool through Sportsnet and the style we had grown comfortable with started so close to the regular season that most of the regulars didn't get picks submitted in time and just bailed on the season.

Well, I just had to double check, and fantasy picks is now live with picks due October October 1.

Wow, you're right sammy, I just assumed that the commissioner one was the only one for this year. No wonder I couldn't log in. Silly me.

But like you also said, the one we've been playing (the Boston Pizza sponsored one) is now up and running...

Promo - Fantasy Hockey presented by Boston Pizza - Sportsnet.ca

And it does recognize past usernames and passwords.

I'm not taking the initiative to set up the pool this year, sorry.

gw, I am not going to participate in a pool if we have one. Both my son and I have very busy Fall schedules, and I just can't spend the time. I have won twice, and he has won once ....... as have you, so I am going to "pass the torch to a new generation" of poolsters. Paix, mon ami.

ok, I've set up the group. same group name & login as last season.

Group Name: ehMac
Password: jockstrap

Just go to the Group Membership page, choose "ehMac" in the "select a group" section, and enter the password.

Pick Deadline: 07:00 PM ET on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009

hopefully we'll get a few to join.

Dr. G - given your winning streak, you are more than entitled to take a sabbatical.
