You would never pick Aaron Rome in a normal fantasy hockey pool, but he's just the right player for PITB's Anti-Fantasy Hockey Pool.
If you’re anything like me, you’re a big fan of fantasy hockey. But the problem with fantasy hockey is that it inevitably leads a hockey fan to disregard a large swathe of the NHL in order to scour for the best and brightest. Thing is, by definition most of the NHL are not the best and brightest. Unless you’re in the world’s deepest fantasy league, you’re never going to pick certain players.
We spend so much time celebrating the success stories in the NHL: now it’s time to celebrate the failures.
That’s why it’s time for the Anti-Fantasy Hockey Pool. In this pool, the entire point is to pick players who you expect to under-perform. Now you have a reason to pick Paul Bissonnette beyond “hilariously” tweeting at him that you totally picked him in the 7th round.
Do you think Dany Heatley is bound to fail in Minnesota? Will Derek Roy spend more time in the doctor’s office than on the ice? Will Al Montoya play a single game in the NHL this year? Is Aaron Rome ever going to score another NHL goal? You can pick them and win.
How it works is simple: I have created 15 boxes of similar players. All you have to do is add a comment to this post with your 15 picks, making sure to use a valid e-mail address when you comment. I’ll keep track of the pool throughout the season, updating a leader board at regular intervals. The Bulie whose team of 15 players records the fewest points this season wins. The Bulie who picks the most players who record the fewest points in their respective box also wins. That’s right: 2 winners in a hockey pool dedicated to losing.
As of right now, I don’t have any prizes. I’m going to try to fix that at some point this season. With that nebulous arrangement in place, here we go. Entries close at noon on October 6th. One entry per person.
Scoring works thusly: 1 point for a goal, 1 point for an assist, 1 point for a win, and 2 points for a shutout.

Can my team please be named The Traveling Milburys?
chicken hawk
October 4, 2011Can I just pick fifteen Canucks?
You’ll shortly see that this team sucks!
The Sedin cycle’s understood:
They will not score the way they could.
The second line will prove a bust;
The bottom six they’ll have to trust,
To match those goals that lu lets in:
They will lose more than they will win.
Given Salo’s injury prone,
Bieksa will soon be on his own.
The other D are all suspect:
Four goals against they can expect.
Fifteen Canucks and I will rule
This PITB Hockey Pool!
