    Default 15 Signs You're a Fantasy Hockey Junkie

    Post this proudly on your bedroom wall...

    15 Signs You're a Fantasy Hockey Junkie
    1. Your wife can name and spell every player on your squad, including Zemgus Girgensons
    2. Your brothers Eric, Marc, and Jordan are all busy playing in the "real" NHL
    3. You fist pump during the referee's announcement of minor penalties
    4. You've dropped your phone in the toilet while trying to check box scores
    5. You changed your dog's name from "Spot" to Radko
    6. You've checked the waiver wire for Dean Youngblood, just in case
    7. You've re-created your fantasy team in NHL 14
    8. You refuse to watch Titanic because the ending reminds you of owning Dany Heatley
    9. You have a tattoo on your left bicep that reads "Radulov ~ Forever Mine"
    10. You seriously considered buying a lead pip when a guy in your pool mentioned using the "commissioners veto"
    11. You went home from work for "personal reasons" the day Kovalchuk left
    12. You've met with HR multiple times about your internet search history
    13. You tear up when listening to Green Day's "Time of You're Life" because it reminds you of owning Johnathan Cheechoo in 2005
    14. You've tweeted motivation quotes to your player's twitter handles before games
    15. You spend the summer after college living in Iceland trying to scout the national team and connect with their head coach Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson

    I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.

    LOL. Pretty good.
    A couple months ago, pre-Olympics, I made a trade where I landed TJ Oshie.

    Now... every hockey-related question I ask my wife is the same answer:
    TJ Oshie.

    Q: Guess who just scored a goal?
    Q: Guess who just missed a game because he was having a kid?
    Q: Guess who has two goals tonight?
    ...Q: Guess who just got his third goal tonight? (no answer...) C'mon (to wife)... you know this.

    She honestly said to me last night: This is the last time I'm gonna say it.
    I said "Say it."
    ...
    ...

    pause

    As a Blues' fan, my fiancé is becoming accustomed to rooting for Oshie. Even more so now after the Olympics. She made me go out and by here a player t-shirt so she could wear around.

    Maybe she is saying " Tushie" and not T.J. Oshie

    She may be trying to give you a hint?

    Number 13 got me, yes - 2005 Johnathon Cheechoo - and also owned Brian Gionta - magical year. Pool wasn't even close with those 2 late round picks.
    Still gives me goose bumps

    I never knew 2 minute minors could be so exciting. Nothing compared to a 10 min misconduct though

    haha. This is just plain awesome. You have to tell someone about your fantasy prowess.

    You had them both?! Incredible. I had a similar feeling with Kopitar 4 years ago, nabbed him in the 13th round right before a breakout season. Almost won the pool.

    This is too funny. I've recently started doing the same thing. All blurry eyed attempting to read the box scores at 4am, squinting to see shots on goal totals. Glad I'm not alone.
