What Sport Website Fantasy Hockey Pools are good?

[Pengwin7]

Just wondering... has anybody joined any general sports websites hockey pools?
Any good prizes?

I joined the CBC pool.
You pick 6F/4D/2G, you give a F/D/G a "star" for double points I think.

I usually play this pool for the first 2-3 weeks of the season and if I'm way behind I just give up.

The first "week" is only 4 days (Oct 1-4), so taking 2-game players is pretty sweet and the following pretty solid roster can be made:

Ovechkin
Datsyuk
Zetterberg
Abdelkader (discount guy)
Mackinnon (discount guy)
[can't remember]

Mike Green
Kronwall

Jimmy Howard
Holtby

I went heavy DET/WAS... hoping for 2 wins each. We'll see.

tsn.ca does one as well. Very similar to the CBC one but no "star" players at each position.

Here is my CBC team for week 1:

G - Howard *, Pavelec
D - Kronwall *, Byfuglien, Zidlicky, Myers
F - Ovechkin *, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kessel, Backstrom, Zajac


TSN team for week 1:
G - Holtby, Pavelec
D - Kronwall, Byfuglien, Green, Edler
F - Ovechkin, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kessel, Backstrom, Giroux

[Pengwin7]

G - Howard, Holtby
D - Kronwall, Byfuglien, Enstrom, M.Green
F - Ovechkin, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Abdelkader, Backstrom, Mackinnon

Just a few differences.

AbD & Mack are 1pt guys... created enough cap space to go w/Enstrom & M.Green.
Last I heard, Abdelkader will be lining up with Pavs & Z... so seemed reasonable.

I always key on the smaller radio stations and upstart fantasy hockey websites. I have won hockey jerseys, autographed pictures etc from places like that because the competition is smaller.

I sign up for the CBC/TSN ones etc as well, but you need insane luck AND skill to have any chance at all in those, so I give it a go for a few weeks and generally if I am not near the top then I stop.
