      "body": "For the third straight year, the Klein Cup is staying in Canada — getting to experience its third different province!\n\nFrom Regina, Saskatchewan, to Montreal, Quebec, and now onto Newfoundland, the Ultimate Fantasy Hockey League’s silver chalice has been well travelled north of the 49th parallel. This year’s parade is planned for Lewisporte, N.L., after Rock Republic defeated the Grizzlies in a dominant display during the Klein Cup Final — previously prevailing over West Coast Express in the Legends Conference Final, Titans in the Orr Division Final, and fellow Newfoundland franchise Kamikaze in the opening round. But first, a date with the engraver to etch Rock Republic’s championship roster, ownership group and staff onto the Klein Cup and into UFHL history!\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYFk169jVLbvx29abZnxTnLiKgud6S455v37pHSu3wfUr/image.png)\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRHmGGunDfFGDj4qPxKrGuv7J3eirJhxapD9uZ9wr8oT1/image.png)\n\nDespite that Canadian dominance through these early days, the UFHL has become a real international league with six American-based franchises and two owners now residing in Costa Rica. There are GMs from as far away as France and Italy. So it is only a matter of time until the Klein Cup heads below the border and overseas. But its next stop is Newfoundland, where Kyle Roberts, David Brown and the rest of the Rock Republic team will be celebrating their first UFHL championship! And we all know Newfoundlanders can celebrate with the best of them!\n\n“The Klein Cup will be coming to Central Newfoundland and will be passed around between mine and David’s families. We’re going to have the Cup around for some family and friend events,” said Roberts, who will have a tough act to follow after former Red Army owner Luc Grenier feasted on poutine from the Cup — in similar fashion to former Tampa player Mathieu Joseph. “We’ll be drinking some local NL beer out of the trophy, for sure. Quidi Vidi and Split Rock are the two breweries.”\n\nThe big party will take place in the fall with a Rock Republic reunion at Donny Tulk’s wedding on the northeast coast in Musgrave Harbour. Tulk was a founding member of Rock Republic’s five-man ownership group and the franchise’s original GM but left the fold in December 2020 to buy the Kamikaze franchise and took affiliated scout Paul Easton with him as an assistant GM. That same month, Dylan Wheaton also branched out to buy the Blizzard, which he has since flipped for a nice profit while still serving as an assistant GM for that franchise. Roberts remained with Rock Republic, taking the GM reins from Tulk, while Brown focused on the branding and marketing department. They will be getting the gang back together for this glorious occasion and the Klein Cup will also be in attendance!\n\n“The trophy will be coming with me,” confirmed Roberts. “Donny was a big part of the initial building of this team, along with all the Rock Republic original five-man ownership group. All will be in attendance for this event.”\n\nThat begged the question of whether Tulk, Easton and Wheaton will be allowed to touch the Cup, let alone drink from it? Or will they be hands off, as per hockey tradition and superstition that prevents players from touching the Cup until they have won it themselves.\n\n“You will have to ask them!” Roberts responded with a laugh. “Definitely welcome but I’m unsure if this is the way they all want to hold the Klein Cup for the first time.”\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdzZkVc5tJocbaSMm3aMrpMX5kYpCZBzL3QCpQF3FqSut/image.png)\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcAyaN98AGi8EermZQvLM5D4ajfaWXXPC3J9EBEjPBu98/image.png)\n\n\n\nThe fourth franchise with ties to Newfoundland has already brought home a UFHL trophy, with the Ice Vikings winning last year’s Founders’ Trophy as regular season champs. But the Klein Cup is extra special — fully engraved, with all the fanfare — and will feature another Newfoundlander in Alex Newhook, a rookie forward for Colorado who was one of only two owned players on Rock Republic’s championship roster, along with veteran Darren Helm.\n\n“It was nice to see Alex be a part of our championship team throughout the regular season and the entire playoff run,” said Roberts, who is also rostering fellow Newfoundland products Dawson Mercer of the New Jersey Devils and Zach Dean, a first-round pick for the Vegas Golden Knights.\n\nProud to be winning with that homegrown talent, Rock Republic finished sixth overall in the regular season standings as the second seed from the Orr Division. None of the 16 entrants in the third annual UFHL/NHL Playoff Pool predicted Rock Republic to win the Klein Cup — or even the Legends Conference — and they were underdogs in the last three rounds, knocking off the Titans (2), West Coast Express (3) and the Grizzlies (5). Underdogs in terms of their regular season placement but favourites for the Klein Cup Final thanks to a manpower advantage and plenty of star power after picking up the likes of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar, along with Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point and Andrei Vasilevskiy, from their eliminated opponents through the UFHL’s innovative leasing system. They had a star-studded roster by the final round, racking up 84 fantasy points from Colorado’s blowout in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and following up with 72 fantasy points from Game 3 to lock up the Klein Cup.\n\n“Over 84 points in one night … our team has never come close to that in the regular season. We drafted and picked up a number of elite playoff performers that contributed to our team’s success,” said Roberts, who selected Alex Killorn in the second round and Ryan McDonagh in the fifth round of the UFHL Playoff Draft as players who went the distance with Newhook and Helm. Worth noting, this is Kucherov’s third straight Klein Cup championship — previously winning as a franchise player for the Monarchs and as the second overall pick in last year’s playoff draft for Red Army.\n\n“We can’t forget our depth, though, as 39 different players from our post-trade deadline roster suited up in NHL games this season,” continued Roberts. “This playoff experience has helped us grow as a group. We know that our hard work over the past two-plus years has now paid off.\n\n“Our past performances in the regular season since this project began three years ago and now our Klein Cup win has helped grow our brand to yet another level. I’m proud to be a part-owner and GM of this organization, and this is a dream come true!”\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUDpHWRFn561zoZGF9x4VJ92jGwoiunVVsyskLtpK3gah/image.png)\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPT1b4BgULu65bcACSoZSsuFWZevgKfMdww2sRQkd5cGs/image.png)\n\n\nNow comes the challenge of trying to repeat. Roberts isn’t expecting to continue the trend of Klein Cup champions selling and going out on top — Ashley Murray, the daughter-in-law of Tampa Bay assistant GM Al Murray, moved on after her Monarchs were crowned inaugural champs in 2020 and the aforementioned Grenier cashed out for $75K USD following Red Army’s triumph in 2021. Sailing off into the sunset could become an option for Rock Republic too, but they are already forging ahead with their offseason plan.\n\n“We plan to stay for the longer term, unless it’s something that can’t be turned down. I guess all NFTs on our roster as well as the Rock Republic organization has a price, but there’s no current price tag associated. Always have our ears open, but that’s about it at this point,” said Roberts, knowing $80K USD is the current benchmark set by the Gators’ sale in December to the family of former NHLer Cory Conacher. “In saying that, we know we have a huge offseason. We’ve already made some trades to move some players, shed some cap space, and add some younger players and picks. The draft is just around the corner and we plan to reinvest some of our Klein Cup winnings back into our team.”\n\nAnd Roberts is already grooming his successor as GM — welcoming the next generation during this season, as the heir apparent to their professional fantasy franchise.\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc5xkxz8PNnUUBY6E5CpRmSkcHthMX1t8iF7iiesAEryZ/image.png)\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbEHRL7qCTxpXGBT8TBfQV86kpJtjPeGCkFPzyCjVDNY6/image.png)\n\n\n\nSo what’s next for Rock Republic as the defending champ with a core that includes Sebastian Aho and Timo Meier as well as veterans Patrice Bergeron and Marc-Andre Fleury? They have been shopping Jordan Binnington to make room for Spencer Knight as Fleury’s successor and might be looking to flip Sean Monahan this summer. The future is still looking bright for Rock Republic — with Newhook and Mercer at the forefront of their youth movement — so they should be able to contend for years to come.\n\n“Definitely going to celebrate our victory but we will be busy again this summer,” assured Roberts. “We have gained a lot from this Klein Cup experience but we know, to stay competitive year after year, that we can’t fall in love with our assets and changes have to be made. We expect to hold a number of our top roster players and high-end prospects but will restructure our depth options once again. We also have our eye on a number of different players in this year’s Entry Draft. Some big decisions to be made in the coming weeks for the Rock Republic.”\n\nGrizzlies also enjoyed another successful campaign as the Klein Cup finalist and Allan Conference champion in the playoffs after winning the Gretzky Division and finishing fifth overall in the regular season — just ahead of Rock Republic. The Grizzlies eliminated the Stallions in the opening round before avenging last year’s loss to Red Army in the Gretzky Division Final — dethroning the defending Klein Cup champion — and then edging the Yetis in the Allan Conference Final. But their playoff hopes were hinging on the Oilers and/or Rangers advancing to the Stanley Cup Final, which could have shifted the odds in their favour with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin on their side of the bracket.\n\nIt wasn’t meant to be — the odds were stacked against them when Colorado and Tampa Bay advanced — but the Grizzlies already have a Founders’ Trophy on their mantle from 2020 for leading the UFHL standings when that season was halted by COVID. They remain in good shape going forward — with Draisaitl as the face of their franchise — and will still be the team to beat in the Gretzky Division next season.\n\n“We would like to congratulate Rock Republic on winning the Klein Cup, they had a great playoff run!” said Grizzlies general manager Andrea Charanduk. “We came up a little short this year, if the Oilers and Rangers would have advanced, we may have been on the other side of this, but that’s fantasy hockey! However, I will say that we are even hungrier than before!\n\n“We are now looking forward to the offseason to prepare to take another run at the Founders’ Trophy and a return to the Klein Cup Playoffs,” added Charanduk. “We would like to bring a similar team back next year, with a few adjustments to fit under the salary cap. This past season in the UFHL was a great one and next season will be even better, we can’t wait to get started!”\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUKNUhot5V6owJXAQyEH9bcWgFqRVxgVYtwDVhNH9BaHu/image.png)\n \n\n\nUFHL Entry Auction Bidding Order\nHere is a look at the bidding order based on results from the UFHL Entry Auction Lottery and the Klein Cup Playoffs, with traded picks listed in parenthesis:\n\nFirst Round\n1) Monarchs (Royals)\n\n2) Norse Stars (Red Army)\n\n3) Duckman’s Domination\n\n4) Blizzard (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n5) Tornadoes (Red Army)\n\n6) Warriors (Royals)\n\n7) Eliminators\n\n8) Snipers\n\n9) Crypto Knights\n\n10) Strong Island (Tornadoes)\n\n11) Dynasty (Godfathers)\n\n12) Blades of Steel\n\n13) Assassins (CanWest Generals)\n\n14) Mystics\n\n15) Brutes (Royals)\n\n16) Godfathers (Red Army)\n\n17) Outlaws (Eliminators)\n\n18) Bentley Jacks (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n19) Battlehawks (Titans)\n\n20) Stallions (CanWest Generals)\n\n21) CanWest Generals\n\n22) Kamikaze (Monarchs)\n\n23) Gators (Royals)\n\n24) Ice Vikings (Stingrays)\n\n25) Red Army (Rock Republic)\n\n26) Stingrays (Crypto Knights)\n\n27) Titans\n\n28) Royals (Titans)\n\n29) Yetis (Mystics)\n\n30) West Coast Express (Blizzard)\n\n31) Grizzlies (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n32) Rock Republic (Dynasty)\n\nSecond Round\n33) Duckman’s Domination (Outlaws)\n\n34) Norse Stars (Godfathers)\n\n35) Blizzard (CanWest Generals)\n\n36) Tornadoes (Yetis)\n\n37) Warriors (Royals)\n\n38) Eliminators (Battlehawks)\n\n39) Snipers (Battlehawks)\n\n40) Monarchs (CanWest Generals)\n\n41) Crypto Knights\n\n42) Strong Island (Bentley Jacks)\n\n43) Dynasty (CanWest Generals)\n\n44) Blades of Steel (Mystics)\n\n45) Assassins (Strong Island)\n\n46) Mystics (Monarchs)\n\n47) Brutes (Outlaws)\n\n48) Godfathers (Titans)\n\n49) Outlaws (Red Army)\n\n50) Bentley Jacks (Rock Republic)\n\n51) Battlehawks (Tornadoes)\n\n52) Stallions\n\n53) CanWest Generals (Tornadoes)\n\n54) Kamikaze (CanWest Generals)\n\n55) Gators (Battlehawks)\n\n56) Ice Vikings (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n57) Red Army (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n58) Stingrays (Crypto Knights)\n\n59) Titans (Tornadoes)\n\n60) Royals (Monarchs)\n\n61) Yetis (Battlehawks)\n\n62) West Coast Express (Battlehawks)\n\n63) Grizzlies (Stallions)\n\n64) Rock Republic (Yetis)\n\nWith the franchises now into offseason mode, trade talks are heating up as they look forward to the UFHL Entry Auction, which will be held on Sunday, July 10 following the NHL Entry Draft on July 7-8.

      "body": "Legends were made on and off the field on Monday night. \n\nThe Fury became the first ever Golden Bowl champion with a thrilling 48-42 win over the GOATS to close out the first ever American Football Legends League season.\n\nThe Fury ownership group known as Seven Seas Blockchain Sports lifted the trophy afterwards before handing it to John Sullivan, their coach. An impressive season that saw them lose just twice and close it out with a victory over the second-best team.\n\nOnly a team as deep as the Fury could overcome a night where Peyton Manning threw more interceptions (three) than touchdowns (two). In fact, Manning completed less than fifty per cent of his passes and also fumbled three times.\n\n“Man, it took me awhile to just get used to their relentless pass rush,” said Manning afterwards.\n\n“I couldn’t even take a two step drop and I’d have (Coy) Bacon or (Jack) Christiansen in my face. I tried to get the running game going as well, but credit has to be given to their defence.”\n\nGOATS piled up the sacks with 31 in total and only one of those came from AFLL sack leader Lawrence Taylor. Christiansen led the way with 13 and Bacon had eight. \n\nGOATS QB Otto Graham also was running for his life for the majority of the night, as he also failed to get over the 50 per cent mark. He went down 19 times and because of that lack of space, threw six interceptions. Graham and Manning were finalists for the AFLL QM MVP awards.\n\nGolden Bowl MVP turned out to be Fury WR Randy Moss, who had 15 receptions for 319 yards and two touchdowns plus a critical catch in the fourth quarter for the champs.\n\nIf Fury didn’t win, the MVP award easily would have been handed to GOATS WR Steve Largent. Largent caught 25 balls for 386 yards and a score. \n\n“Catches mean nothing, if you don’t win,” said a distraught Largent.\n\n“I was happy to contribute but, in the end, we leave here without the trophy.”\n\nFOURTH DOWN: Fury LB Jack Lambert was also in the game MVP conversation. He recorded 13 sacks, a forced fumble and a touchdown. The AFLL handed out their 2022 season awards during the game. Immortals QB Brett Favre is QB MVP, Beowulf RB Eric Metcalf is the RB MVP, Immortals WR Terrell Owens was WRTE MVP, and LB Lawrence Taylor grabbed the defensive MVP award. Congrats to the league, ownership groups and coaches who made this season possible.\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcn1JDgDdHSinPhVUXubJh4jHL3isCcrn98ts1SSAUu1d/image.png)\n\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPuc5JNoHiirCxjTmkA2h5x1dubzGrnu6yD8LeE2SXY8S/image.png)\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXmmbfArwufcNjtzCVTtneaExmxfyQBFWBVXr4SDJTCW4/image.png)\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYejd9LsZWeWTFuZkNWsBcc9TWLD7gwbPXCP8YzXd3m6u/image.png)",

      "body": "That first round will be tough to top — both in the NHL and the UFHL, which also went to overtime in Game 7, producing the closest result in Klein Cup playoff history!\n\nJohnny Gaudreau’s overtime winner — the final goal of the first round — propelled West Coast Express past the Gators by 1.47 fantasy points, the slimmest margin of victory to date in the Ultimate Fantasy Hockey League that crowned the Monarchs inaugural champions in 2020 before Red Army claimed the Klein Cup in 2021.\n\nJust how close was that nail-biter? The Gators had Jacob Markstrom, who got 2.50 fantasy points for the win, while Gaudreau racked up 4.70 fantasy points for his heroics (2.50 for the goal, 1.00 for the GWG, 1.00 for the plus rating, and 0.20 for the shot)! If any other Flame not rostered by West Coast Express had been the hero, the Gators would have been advancing to face the Founders’ Trophy-winning regular season champion Royals in the Howe Division Final. But Gaudreau sent both Calgary and West Coast Express to the second round — and now he is reunited with Markstrom thanks to the UFHL’s innovative playoff leasing system, where the advancing franchises can fill their empty roster spots with advancing players from the opponent they eliminated. So Markstrom joins Darcy Kuemper with West Coast Express — replacing Scott Wedgewood, who was eliminated with Dallas — to form the most formidable tandem going forward!\n\nThat is the marquee matchup on paper among the division finals — another fascinating battle between the Royals’ firepower up front and West Coast Express’ manpower advantage on defence and in goal, with starters on opposite nights. If defence — and goaltending — wins championships, West Coast Express might be the team to beat now, but the Royals could still outgun the remaining eight franchises. All of whom finished in the Top 10 during the regular season.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/TheUFHL/status/1526563201076252672\n\nThere were no real upsets in the first round — in either league, the NHL or the UFHL — with the higher seeds advancing in seven of the eight matchups for the Klein Cup Playoffs, with the Connor McDavid-led Yetis as the lone exception. They prevailed over the Ice Vikings as a third seed but were hardly underdogs — separated by only 34.95 fantasy points in the regular season standings, having battled for seventh overall down the stretch. And some might see the Yetis as the favourites to come out of the Allan Conference now, especially if McDavid can lead them over the Stingrays in a Battle of Alberta-themed Lemieux Division Final. If that happens and Edmonton wins, a conference final against the Leon Draisaitl-led Grizzlies would be incredibly intriguing. That is, if the Grizzlies can knock off the defending Klein Cup champion, Red Army, in a rematch of last year’s Gretzky Division Final!\n\nLast but not least, the Titans are undermanned against Rock Republic in the Orr Division Final — after losing seven Leafs and two Bruins in those Game 7s, including David Pastrnak and Auston Matthews, the second overall pick in this year’s UFHL Playoff Draft — but the Titans are welcoming Nikita Kucherov to the fold for the second round, as the second overall pick from last year’s UFHL Playoff Draft when he powered Red Army to a Klein Cup championship. Rock Republic counters with Aleksander Barkov as their leased star, adding another layer of spotlight to that Battle of Florida — as evidenced by tonight’s $SCO Picks contest! That winner will be hard-pressed to come out of the Legends Conference, up against the powerhouse Howe Division in the next round!\n\nFor the record and for what it’s worth, the higher seeds advanced in six of the eight NHL matchups — the exceptions being a couple of recent Stanley Cup winners in St. Louis and Tampa Bay, the two-time defending champs. Both were third seeds that eliminated Toronto and Minnesota, respectively, with fairly even betting lines heading into those series.\n\nThe odds have yet to be determined for the division finals in the Klein Cup Playoffs — we’ll let the 16 contestants in the UFHL/NHL Playoff Pool set those lines ahead of today’s deadline (7 p.m. ET) — but this second round is sure to be intensely entertaining again. The UFHL has a unique and special way of keeping fantasy hockey fans on the edge of their seat, highlighted by our Klein Cup Playoffs Watch Parties on Twitch!\n\nHere is a recap of the first-round results and a preview of the second-round matchups with the updated bracket for the Klein Cup Playoffs:\n\nFirst Round Results\nAllan Conference\nL1) Stingrays defeated WC2) Battlehawks 319.46-283.47\n\nL3) Yetis defeated L2) Ice Vikings 408.37-320.25\n\nG1) Grizzlies defeated WC1) Stallions 343.27-262.17\n\nG2) Red Army defeated G3) CanWest Generals 278.37-244.79\n\nLegends Conference\nH1) Royals defeated WC2) Outlaws 379.46-331.70\n\nH2) West Coast Express defeated H3) Gators 343.46-341.99\n\nO1) Titans defeated WC1) Bentley Jacks 426.85-273.15\n\nO2) Rock Republic defeated O3) Kamikaze 320.72-313.64\n\nSecond Round Matchups\nAllan Conference\nLemieux Division Final\nL1) Stingrays vs. L3) Yetis\n\nGretzky Division Final\nG1) Grizzlies vs. G2) Red Army\n\nLegends Conference\nHowe Division Final\nH1) Royals vs. H2) West Coast Express\n\nOrr Division Final\nO1) Titans vs. O2) Rock Republic\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRLUpj3M1HnWhRhXPhPSrodAudHZAxoBuo7Vsa5sJEitg/image.png)\n\n\nHere is a closer look at how the franchises stack up heading into the second round, with a roster comparison followed by a bit of analysis.\n\nNOTE: These eight remaining playoff franchises are leasing players from the 16 non-playoff franchises and the eight franchises that were eliminated in the first round (listed in parenthesis).\n\nLemieux Division Final\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXxmCNDewi3RmagxaLRtdte6CsEpdMi4Gko6o1jwAW6rN/image.png)\n\n\nStingrays\nForwards (10)\nElias Lindholm – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nCalle Jarnkrok – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nDillon Dube – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Eliminators)\n\nBrett Ritchie – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Blizzard)\n\nBrayden Schenn – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nAlexei Toropchenko – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Scout, Marcus Borkowsky)\n\nPatrick Maroon – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\nSteven Stamkos – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Dynasty)\n\nPierre-Edouard Bellemare – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Duckman’s Domination)\n\nRyan Reaves – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Snipers)\n\nDefenders (6)\nRasmus Andersson – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Dynasty)\n\nOliver Kylington – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Crypto Knights)\n\nErik Cernak – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\nZach Bogosian – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\nGustav Forsling – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nAdam Fox – New York Rangers vs. Carolina\n\nGoaltenders (1)\nSergei Bobrovsky – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Battlehawks)\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUdoFBHwsVS6v7Z4Sxj2tLcR24aRRYrJZvuHsNJ1ToN9j/image.png)\n\n\nYetis\nForwards (13)\nConnor McDavid – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nJesse Puljujarvi – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nWarren Foegele – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nRyan McLeod – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Assassins)\n\nEvander Kane – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Ice Vikings)\n\nDavid Perron – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nRyan O’Reilly – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Assassins)\n\nTyler Bozak – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Snipers)\n\nChris Kreider – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Godfathers)\n\nRyan Strome – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Ice Vikings)\n\nMika Zibanejad – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Ice Vikings)\n\nRoss Colton – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Brutes)\n\nBrandon Hagel – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Ice Vikings)\n\nDefenders (8)\nDuncan Keith – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Snipers)\n\nKris Russell – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Eliminators)\n\nChris Tanev – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Tornadoes)\n\nMichael Stone – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Warriors)\n\nNick Leddy – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Tornadoes)\n\nNiko Mikkola – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Dynasty)\n\nRyan Lindgren – New York Rangers vs. Carolina\n\nRadko Gudas – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Ice Vikings)\n\nGoaltenders (1)\nMike Smith – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nANALYSIS: Six Flames against eight Oilers, this Battle of Alberta is going to be a barnburner and that result from the Stanley Cup Playoffs could be a deciding factor for the Stingrays and Yetis here in the Klein Cup Playoffs. Stingrays will almost certainly need a convincing Calgary victory — with the Flames containing Connor McDavid, to some degree — in order to oust the Yetis, who will also get significant contributions from their Blues and Rangers. Stingrays do have some big guns — namely, Steven Stamkos and Adam Fox — but the Yetis are deeper with the manpower advantage in addition to McDavid as the biggest gamebreaker. If the Oilers win, the Yetis will roll on as the Lemieux Division representative in the Final Four!\n\nGretzky Division Final\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVcLL6mQqpkuxuLCbRFyTtNWbV45BJyXNZtioe3Rv55B2/image.png)\n\nGrizzlies\nForwards (13)\nLeon Draisaitl – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nRyan Nugent-Hopkins – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nZack Kassian – Edmonton vs. Calgary\n\nZach Hyman – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Brutes)\n\nKailer Yamamoto – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Stallions)\n\nTrevor Lewis – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Stallions)\n\nNazem Kadri – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nGabriel Landeskog – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Blades of Steel)\n\nJ.T.

It’s quite the contrast between conferences and Red Army will be torn in that Metropolitan Division Final, which has their Hart Trophy-nominated goaltender Igor Shesterkin needing another Vezina-worthy performance against their handful of Carolina forwards. Red Army also have a handful of young guns — with Svechnikov, Jarvis, Lafreniere, Chytil and Byram — but the Grizzlies have plenty of grizzled veterans and that experience could be the difference here, led by Draisaitl, Landeskog and Tarasenko. However, this matchup becomes more interesting and perhaps much closer if Draisaitl is hurt or hobbled to deter his dominance. If he is healthy enough to be firing on all cylinders for the Oilers, the Grizzlies will be bound for the conference final!\n\nHowe Division Final\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV9HLCdQJUYwJCB4bd4cJxUMzQgvUfhpjECeJTLvNpsnX/image.png)\n\nRoyals\nForwards (14)\nMartin Necas – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Eliminators)\n\nVincent Trocheck – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Outlaws)\n\nTeuvo Teravainen – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Outlaws)\n\nKaapo Kakko – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Blizzard)\n\nArtemi Panarin – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Outlaws)\n\nAndrew Copp – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Outlaws)\n\nJonathan Huberdeau – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nRyan Lomberg – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nOndrej Palat – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\nCorey Perry – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\nValeri Nichushkin – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nMikko Rantanen – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Godfathers)\n\nMatthew Tkachuk – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nTyler Toffoli – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Outlaws)\n\nDefenders (4)\nJaccob Slavin – Carolina vs. New York Rangers\n\nBen Chiarot – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nBrandon Montour – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nDevon Toews – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Warriors)\n\nGoaltenders (0)\nNone\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmURSiKv2MrSdzj6odaHKmXT1xuBxF2NU58icyAdyBMAge/image.png)\n\n\nWest Coast Express\nForwards (13)\nJohnny Gaudreau – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nMikael Backlund – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Blades of Steel)\n\nMilan Lucic – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Blizzard)\n\nAndrew Mangiapane – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Crypto Knights)\n\nAndrew Cogliano – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Norse Stars)\n\nNathan MacKinnon – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Gators)\n\nNico Sturm – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Dynasty)\n\nJordan Kyrou – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nDakota Joshua – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Norse Stars)\n\nJoe Thornton – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Blizzard)\n\nClaude Giroux – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Gators)\n\nAlex Barre-Boulet – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Gators)\n\nJordan Staal – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Godfathers)\n\nDefenders (8)\nTony DeAngelo – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Godfathers)\n\nBrendan Smith – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Blizzard)\n\nBraden Schneider – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Norse Stars)\n\nAaron Ekblad – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nVictor Hedman – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Mystics)\n\nNoah Hanifin – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nTyson Barrie – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Gators)\n\nJustin Faulk – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Gators)\n\nGoaltenders (2)\nDarcy Kuemper – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Duckman’s Domination)\n\nJacob Markstrom – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Gators)\n\nANALYSIS: That Royals’ forward group is as potent as it gets in the second round — with Huberdeau, Rantanen, Tkachuk and Panarin, plus a stellar supporting cast — but West Coast Express’ goaltending tandem is unrivalled in this round. The aforementioned fact that Kuemper and Markstrom are starting on opposite nights is troublesome for the Royals and their empty crease. Those goaltending points could sway this result, should Colorado and/or Calgary advance to the West Final. With Hedman and Ekblad anchoring a superior blue line, West Coast Express is going to be a tough out again. Getting the Gators’ two franchise players in Markstrom and MacKinnon might be enough to put West Coast Express over the top, but the Royals won’t go down without a fight as they continue to fill the net in all four of the NHL’s division finals! Expect fireworks here in the Howe Division!\n\nOrr Division Final\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSHJesdX2TTb7DZhy2j26HJDFAy1kHHK4B6jiRoaRAHJY/image.png)\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmURSiKv2MrSdzj6odaHKmXT1xuBxF2NU58icyAdyBMAge/image.png)\n\nTitans\nForwards (14)\nAndre Burakovsky – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nLogan O’Connor – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nNicolas Aube-Kubel – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nPavel Buchnevich – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nIvan Barbashev – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nRobert Thomas – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Mystics)\n\nDerek Ryan – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Warriors)\n\nMason Marchment – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nEetu Luostarinen – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nSam Reinhart – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Monarchs)\n\nNikita Kucherov – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Bentley Jacks)\n\nAnthony Cirelli – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Monarchs)\n\nFrank Vatrano – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Bentley Jacks)\n\nKevin Rooney – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Dynasty)\n\nDefenders (4)\nCale Makar – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nBrett Kulak – Edmonton vs. Calgary (Strong Island)\n\nMacKenzie Weegar – Florida vs. Tampa Bay\n\nK’Andre Miller – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Bentley Jacks)\n\nGoaltenders (1)\nAndrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay vs. Florida\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbPAa82wmfCoYYm1qMqwGxhbNYRS7iDSSUjWTkDfC3552/image.png)\n\n\nRock Republic\nForwards (12)\nAleksander Barkov – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Strong Island)\n\nSam Bennett – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Kamikaze)\n\nNoel Acciari – Florida vs. Tampa Bay (Kamikaze)\n\nAlex Killorn – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Dynasty)\n\nNick Paul – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Kamikaze)\n\nBrayden Point – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Strong Island)\n\nSebastian Aho – Carolina vs. New York Rangers\n\nNino Niederreiter – Carolina vs. New York Rangers\n\nJesperi Kotkaniemi – Carolina vs. New York Rangers\n\nAlex Newhook – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nDarren Helm – Colorado vs. St. Louis\n\nBlake Coleman – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Kamikaze)\n\nDefenders (8)\nRyan McDonagh – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Assassins)\n\nMikhail Sergachev – Tampa Bay vs. Florida (Strong Island)\n\nJacob Trouba – New York Rangers vs. Carolina (Kamikaze)\n\nSamuel Girard – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Brutes)\n\nJosh Manson – Colorado vs. St. Louis (Kamikaze)\n\nColton Parayko – St. Louis vs. Colorado (Duckman’s Domination)\n\nNikita Zadorov – Calgary vs. Edmonton\n\nErik Gudbranson – Calgary vs. Edmonton (Brutes)\n\nGoaltenders (2)\nJordan Binnington – St. Louis vs. Colorado\n\nAntti Raanta – Carolina vs. New York Rangers (Monarchs)\n\nANALYSIS: Titans took a hit in the first round — with the worst luck of any franchise when it came to Game 7 losses — but they still have the amazing Cale Makar, fresh off a sweep, and arguably the two best players from the two-time defending champions in Vasilevskiy and now Kucherov. So not all is lost there, but Rock Republic is looking like a legitimate threat, if not the favourite here. Rock Republic boasts a lot of bangers on their bolstered blue line and no shortage of skill up front — especially if Brayden Point is good to go again for the second round. That is a big IF, with Point’s status looming large for this matchup. If he’s in the lineup and remotely impactful for Tampa Bay, he could very well be the difference for Rock Republic in taking down the Titans. Rock Republic’s goalies are also going on opposite nights, but it will probably take both of them to outduel Vasilevskiy!\n\n \nUFHL Entry Auction Bidding Order\nFor the non-playoff franchises, their suspense from the first round revolved around the UFHL’s Entry Auction Lottery — our version of the NHL Draft Lottery, utilizing the Tankathon simulator — that took place live on Twitch (starting at 27:45):\n\n\nIt’s always exciting to see who wins that lottery — and the right to bid on the first overall pick in the UFHL Entry Auction — and this year did not disappoint with a surprise winner moving up seven spots in the bidding order, from No. 8 to No. 1!\n\nHere is a look at the bidding order based on results from the UFHL Entry Auction Lottery and the first round of the Klein Cup Playoffs, with traded picks listed in parenthesis:\n\nFirst Round\n1) Monarchs\n\n2) Norse Stars (Red Army)\n\n3) Duckman’s Domination\n\n4) Blizzard (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n5) Tornadoes (Red Army)\n\n6) Warriors\n\n7) Eliminators\n\n8) Snipers\n\n9) Crypto Knights\n\n10) Strong Island (Tornadoes)\n\n11) Dynasty (Assassins)\n\n12) Blades of Steel\n\n13) Assassins (CanWest Generals)\n\n14) Mystics\n\n15) Brutes (Royals)\n\n16) Godfathers (Red Army)\n\n17) Outlaws (Eliminators)\n\n18) Bentley Jacks (Duckman’s Domination)\n\n19) Battlehawks (Titans)\n\n20) Stallions\n\n21) CanWest Generals\n\n22) Kamikaze (Monarchs)\n\n23) Gators (Eliminators)\n\n24) Ice Vikings (Crypto Knights)\n\n25) Division Finalist\n\n26) Division Finalist\n\n27) Division Finalist\n\n28) Division Finalist\n\n29) Conference Finalist\n\n30) Conference Finalist\n\n31) Klein Cup Runner-Up\n\n32) Klein Cup Champion\n\nTo Be Determined\nRed Army (Norse Stars)\n\nYetis (Mystics)\n\nRock Republic (Eliminators)\n\nGrizzlies (Duckman’s Domination)\n\nStingrays (Crypto Knights)\n\nWest Coast Express (Blizzard)\n\nTitans \n\nRoyals (Titans)\n\nCongratulations to the Monarchs, who joined Duckman’s Domination and Red Army in that bidding group for first overall. And the UFHL Insider is hearing the Monarchs may not be done surprising when it comes to the Entry Auction, so stay tuned on that front!\n\nThe 16 non-playoff franchises and the eight franchises eliminated in the first round are still cheering on their leased players in the Klein Cup Playoffs but also looking forward to the UFHL Entry Auction, which will be held on Sunday, July 10 following the NHL Entry Draft on July 7-8.\n\nBest of luck to the eight remaining playoff franchises in the division finals, with the puck dropping on the second round tonight! And remember to get your picks in for the second round of the UFHL/NHL Playoff Pool ahead of today’s deadline (7 p.m. ET)!\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSGoTHcZb5D4h5bA4PpNtqH8fPK4C7QveGApgevZkwPW3/image.png)",

She will rely on Button’s expertise for targeting top prospects in UFF Sports’ upcoming auctions as well as on the open market. Those prospects, providing they pan out, will be acquired by franchises in the Ultimate Fantasy Hockey League (UFHL).\n\n“I’ve worked with Dean Millard, but I’m really excited to work with his smarter half. Trish Millard will run a tight ship, and you know Northern Alberta girls know their hockey. I can’t wait to take High Level Scouting and UFFS to new heights,” Button said from his Calgary home.\n\nCraig Button, President of Scouting for the High Level Scouting Agency\nTrish Millard, who hails from High Level, Alberta, where she grew up as Trish Fedeyko, is married to Dean Millard, who hosts the Tracking the Draft podcast with Button and also owns a UFHL franchise known as Duckman’s Domination. Those connections helped form this partnership with Button, who is one of the most respected people in the scouting world as well as one of the biggest names thanks to his role with TSN.\n\n“I know, hands down, I have the best scout in the game looking for talent to add to the stable and I’m already looking at adding to the roster,” Trish Millard said of her plans for the High Level Scouting Agency. “Craig is not only talented, but he’s blunt and that’s one quality I really admire. If a player can’t cut it, he won’t dance around or sugarcoat it.\n\n“I hope to compliment him with some others in the scouting world who also excel at their job. This is just the beginning!”\n\nButton’s father Jack started the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau in 1975 at the prompting of then NHL President Clarence Campbell. Craig Button started with the Minnesota North Stars in the late 1980s and followed them to Dallas where, as the Director of Player Personnel, he helped build the 1999 Stanley Cup championship team. A year later, Craig Button replaced Al Coates in Calgary as the Flames’ general manager where he put together a good portion of the team that went to the Stanley Cup Final in 2004.\n\nButton is well known for his ‘Craig’s List’ prospect rankings and his work as an analyst for TSN. Button also joins Dean Millard each week on Tracking the Draft where the pair look at the upcoming, past and future drafts.\n\n“UFF Sports and the UFHL are thrilled to have Craig Button in the fold as a former NHL GM with a Stanley Cup ring and his finger on the pulse of prospects as TSN’s Director of Scouting,” said UFF Sports president and founder Tony Charanduk. “Button’s addition to the High Level Scouting Agency raises the bar for our entire platform. Everyone will benefit from his pedigree and credibility, and we all look forward to working with and learning from Craig.\n\n“The concept of scouting agencies is something that happened organically within the community — and it is a great example of what our worldwide platform is all about. We are building an ecosystem that our global community will always have the power to change, add to, and improve,” added Charanduk. “Highly skilled and connected people like Craig will encourage all of us involved to strive for greater success.”\n\nTo become a scout for Ultimate Franchise Fantasy Sports, email [email protected] and get registered ($20 USD) ahead of the Futures Auction, which starts on August 15 and features 140 prospects from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 draft classes.",

I grew up in Connecticut, I currently live in Massachusetts, I went to college in New Hampshire, I often ski in Vermont, I vacation in Maine and I often visit Rhode Island. I work in downtown Boston at a hospital and this COVID-19 outbreak has been tough. Deemed an essential worker from the start, I often would have to go into rooms with people that have the virus. Luckily, Massachusetts is one of the states that took the virus seriously and we are now flattening the curve and have much fewer cases. Other states that started to open up too soon are really struggling and need to get their shit together.\n\nFor fun, other than fantasy hockey, I am a bit of a movie and gaming freak. In normal times, I go to about 70-80 movies in the theater a year and my home collection is somewhere in the 700s now. I love watching them in the home theater that I have built, another passion of mine. I am a gamer geek and I love not just video games and Pokemon Go but also table-top roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. I love to go to the beach in the summer and swim and go to the mountains in the winter and ski as New England has it all in close proximity.\n\nGrowing up just northwest of Hartford in the ’70s and ’80s, my father bought season tickets for the Whalers every year they were in Hartford and with that being the only pro sport in Connecticut at the time, it is not hard to see how my love for hockey and the Whalers developed. I often viewed the Whalers as an underdog. I knew Hartford was dwarfed by the bigger cities and fan bases of the Bruins and Rangers on either side of us, so a closeness developed between the Whalers’ fans and the team that is not seen in big markets. I literally jumped out of my seat with every goal and win and felt terrible after every loss. This was not just some game I went to on a random night, this was an event every game. Everything is important to a diehard fan — every pass, every missed power-play opportunity, every fight, every goal. As you can imagine, my heart was ripped out when Bettman decided he wanted his southeast division and he made a deal with Peter Karmanos to move the team. Do you know they had the rules of the game on the jumbotron at Hurricanes games? Did you also know, in the early days, they would give away a CAR to get people in NASCAR, NCAA basketball and football country to go to a game? Don’t get me started.\n\nAfter that, I was a bit lost in my fandom. Who do I root for now? The Whalers left in 1997 and I graduated college in 1995, so I moved to Boston for a better job market and since no hockey team was keeping me there. You have to understand, being in such close geographic proximity to both Boston and New York, the Bruins and Rangers were bitter rivals of the Whalers. We often had fights in the stands in the sold-out games. It made it hard to become a Bruins fan since they were now the closest team to me. It took about 10 years until I could honestly call myself a Bruins fan, but I am now. The AHL moved the Rangers’ farm team to Hartford, so I also root for them. I enjoyed watching future Ranger stars — like Henrik Lundqvist — play in Hartford before making the big club. The 2006 Cup win by the Hurricanes was at best bittersweet. It will always be the Hartford/Carolina franchise, so I will have an interest in how they do, but I can’t say I am a big fan.\n\nI got into fantasy hockey back in the mid-90s when a friend was the commish. Then after a few years, he gave up and I took over as commish and we have had a CBS-based league now since the early 2000s. I got invited to a few more leagues over the years and I am still in multiple leagues with pretty good success in all of them. Most are keeper leagues and I pride myself in being a very good scout of talent. I often have players that I drafted go from being prospects to full-time NHLers during each season and not just big names. One of the best draft picks I made was in the compensation round (the very last picks) — with the 84th pick of the draft, I took a player named Frederik Andersen. He ended up being a pretty good pick at 84th overall. Even if I don’t win money, that is nice though, I love everything about fantasy hockey. I love the competition, building a team, scouting for prospect talent, making in-season adjustments often daily, etc. I am very excited for the UFHL and the potential it holds. I am very glad I got in as an original owner and I can’t wait to see what is next!\n\n\n![Sean Cosgrove.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXeVXYTu5j5wLNa856LcA5sNvMeNVm81XeSVXWVJfsifw/Sean%20Cosgrove.jpg)\n\n\nQUESTION: First off, I’d like to extend a huge thank you on behalf of the entire Ultimate Fantasy Hockey League for all that you have done — and will continue to do — during COVID-19! Like the saying goes — not all heroes wear capes … or do you? Serious question Sean, how do you find any time for fantasy hockey — let alone multiple leagues? Doctor by day, movie buff by night, with a dash of Dungeons & Dragons … you lead a very busy life and you aren’t a single man either. Add it all up and I’m left wondering whether there are more than 24 hours in a day down in New England or do you just not sleep? However you pull it off, it’s mighty impressive, so please share your recipe for functioning success!\n\nANSWER: Well, just to clarify I am very busy in the hospital I work in and I do care for patients with the COVID-19 virus, but I am not a doctor. I am a technologist in the Neurology department, specializing in administering a test called an Electroencephalogram or EEG for short. I have been here for 3 years now but just prior to this I worked for 10 years the Children’s Hospital next door administering sleep studies as a Sleep Technologist and I got registered as an RPSGT or registered polysomnographic technologist — a polysomnogram is a sleep study. It is nice to not have to work nights and weekends anymore like I did as a sleep technologist. I appreciate the thanks for my work, it is a world-wide group effort and I also thank all the other front-line workers.\n\nI will admit, some days it is hard to find time for all my hobbies, but I try to make time for ones that interest me the most like fantasy hockey. I am married, but I have no kids, so that frees up a lot of time that I am sure some dads do not have. Some hobbies get the focus sometimes while others take a backseat other times, but I am glad I have been able to continue to make it all work out.\n\nQUESTION: I feel for you on losing your beloved Whalers. I couldn’t imagine bidding farewell to my favourite team — and then having to embrace the big bad Bruins or the ultra-rich Rangers. The struggle would be real, no doubt. But I saw you wearing that Whalers jersey during the UFHL Redraft and your Warriors certainly have a Whalers feel to them — in their colour scheme and jersey designs — so let’s go nostalgic with this one: What are your three favourite Whalers memories? That could be a live game you attended with your father, a trade or draft pick that the franchise made, or perhaps an off-ice encounter with a Whalers player — just three sentimental memories that stand out to you … and to enlighten those among us who were too young to remember much of the Whalers’ existence!\n\nANSWER: I would have to say the 1986-87 season is one that sticks out, as it was one of the most successful in team history. They won the Adams Division that season and honestly were a strong threat to win the Cup. The previous season (1985-86) ended on a sour note, losing in Game 7 overtime in the playoffs to a team and player I have hated ever since lol — Claude Lemieux of the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens then went on to win the Cup, not really getting tested anywhere near as much as they were against the Whalers. It is very possible had Game 7 gone our way, we would have won the Cup that year. That team was stacked and so fun to watch. If you look back at the names, you will see a who’s who of management and coaching in the past and current NHL and other leagues — Ron Francis, Joel Quenneville, Kevin Dineen, Dean Evason, John Anderson, Dave Tippett, Doug Jarvis, Mike Liut, Ulf Samuelsson, Steve Weeks and I am probably forgetting a few. It was so fun watching that team win.\n\nMy second memory is a trade that I will never forget or forgive, which was when the Whalers traded our best forward Ron Francis and one of our best defensemen Ulf Samuelsson and Grant Jennings to Pittsburgh for John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski and Jeff Parker. So yeah, we all know how that worked out. The Penguins won back-to-back Stanley Cups — that year of the trade 1991 and again in 1992 — and the Whalers were never the same and then were moved in 1997. Ever since that trade, then-Whaler GM Ed Johnston (also a Penguins GM) was booed very loudly every time he stepped on the ice by the Hartford faithful and he deserved it. One quick random memory before I say my third one is my season tickets were in the section where the seats are behind the other team’s penalty box. Our player Stu ‘The Grim Reaper’ Grimson was in our box for a penalty. His time ended and he was going out the door and some poor bastard must not have seen him and skated right into him. Stu, not two feet out of the box grabs the player by the shirt and connects four punches to his face right in front of our section, the player goes down and Stu goes right back in the box hahaha, it was great!\n\nMy third memory was when the NHL All-Star Game was in Hartford in 1986. My father had two season tickets, so he got two tickets to the All-Star Game but he has two sons. So, he did not know if he should take me or my older brother to the game. What he decided was, since I had better grades than my brother, he surprised me by showing up to my junior high school and pulling me out to go see them practice. I will never forget it, superstars everywhere. I tried to get an autograph from Wayne Gretzky, but he was in his prime and was mobbed by media and I couldn’t get near him. I did get one from Ray Bourque at the side of the ice, and I believe a few others at the practice. My father then took me to lunch at the restaurant inside the hotel all the players were staying in. I passed Phil Esposito in the hallway and got his autograph. Mark Howe was eating near us, but I didn’t want to bother him. An older gentleman was leaving and he saw me and wished me well and handed me a Canadiens pin. My dad told me that was Toe Blake. It was a day I will never forget, but the best part came as I was leaving and my dad said ‘that’s Mario Lemieux, go get his autograph’. Mario was with 4 or 5 other people and was heading to get on the elevator when I asked him. Mario reached up and stopped the elevator so he could sign his autograph for me and then got back on the elevator! I was so thrilled, what a day!\n\n\nQUESTION: I know the Whalers’ departure has left you with a bittersweet attachment to the Hurricanes, but I see several current and former Carolina players on your Warriors’ roster. From Jordan Staal and Petr Mrazek to Noah Hanifin, Derek Ryan and Calvin de Haan — that’s a handful! Do you still have a soft spot for that franchise or is it more of a sore spot? You did get Filip Chytil as one of those up-and-coming Rangers who developed in Hartford. Brett Ritchie is a Bruin — splitting this season between Boston and the Baby Bs in Providence — and Anton Khudobin is also a former Bruin. It’s a nice mix of players from the NHL teams that you follow closest, so I assume you’re happy with your roster and how you fared in the UFHL Redraft — in terms of picking a few familiar faces?\n\nANSWER: It is interesting when you list them all like that and their links to those teams, especially Carolina. I have a passing interest in the Hurricanes as they will always be the Harford/Carolina franchise, but the Cup win in 2006 was at best bittersweet. I did love seeing fans in the stands with Whalers shirts on when they won though. The links are interesting but honestly not intentional. I went into the redraft with a master list based on research using our scoring system and I based my picks mostly on talent, salary, age and extended stat ability. For example, I probably had Staal and Cousins higher on my draft board than other owners because while they may not have had amazing offensive seasons, they both had great numbers in both shots on goal and hits.\n\nAs for Mrazek, I was all set to take Sergei Bobrovsky with my second pick when he was taken with literally the pick right before mine, so I went to the guy next on my board in Mrazek. Among the goalies available that I considered starters, Mrazek had the highest winning percentage among all of them just based on games played last season. He also is only 28, which is young for a goalie. So again, all about numbers — not really about what team he currently tends the twine for.\n\nHanifin I got because I love his age, talent and potential — and, again, he did not disappoint in the shots and hits categories. At only 23, even though he has had 5 full NHL seasons, he has not entered his fantasy prime yet. Ryan is a player taken with a later pick thinking he can add some depth scoring. De Haan I think would have had more offense if he had played a full season, but he makes up for his offense with shots and hits. Chytil is a player I probably noticed more due to playing in Hartford, but I really like his profile and his potential on a team looking to be on the rise. Ritchie was a bit up and down between leagues last year but, for the spot we drafted him, he had decent offense and he was impressive in all three of PIMS, shots and hits. As for Khudobin, if I couldn’t get a second starting goalie, I had him at the top of my ‘rest of’ goalie list as I feel he showed very well spelling Ben Bishop and it really was a two-headed monster in Dallas.\n\nAs you can see, I drafted based on many other things and where they played was one of the very last things considered — if considered at all. I just want players that can help the Warriors win, but it is a nice bonus that some of them play for or have ties to teams I follow.\n\nQUESTION: Your Warriors had the second overall pick and selected Elias Pettersson behind Sidney Crosby. I loved that pick and the potential to build around a budding young star. You surrounded Pettersson with five quality veterans among your top-six forwards. Your top four on defence are real solid too — right in the prime of their careers — and that goaltending tandem should work out well. On paper, the Warriors could have made a run in this year’s Klein Cup playoffs — they appear built to win now — but I’m sure you’ll have individual players to cheer for coming out of the UFHL Playoff Draft. Do you like this unique and innovative playoff format — it is a rental system that keeps everyone involved and interested — where some of the Warriors will be helping other franchises chase a championship with the possibility of bringing earnings back home to New England? Or is that going to feel like watching the Hurricanes hoist the Stanley Cup with “your” players on another team?\n\nANSWER: I am pretty happy with my picks at the redraft. I loved getting Pettersson. At only 21, he has the ability to be a fantasy stud for the next 15 years. One thing that surprised me was I thought I would ice a younger team. I did not think I would pick that many veterans, but I also did not want all young guys that are all potential with little to no current high-end talent. I went with, from my draft board, what I thought the best pick was at that time and again I am happy with the results. It does not mean I might not make a few transactions before next season, but we will see how things progress for all my Warriors.\n\nAs far as the playoff format honestly, I like the idea, but it will take a full playoffs for me to give my full opinion. I am fine with my players playing on other rosters and possibly helping them and the Warriors of New England. I know that those players are Warrior contract players and that they will return as soon as the playoffs are over. It is an intriguing system and I look forward to watching my players in both playoffs and rooting for them.\n\n\nQUESTION: On the bright side, by missing the playoffs, your chances of winning the Lafreniere Lottery doubled! The Warriors are now one of seven franchises with 2-to-1 odds for securing a top-five spot in the Entry Auction, which would ensure you are bidding on Alexis Lafreniere. The eight play-in round losers will round out the 15 franchises in that lottery. Have you been actively scouting this 2020 NHL draft class? What do you make of Lafreniere and the talent available in the top 15 — the top 15 since the Warriors are now guaranteed a top-15 auction spot? Are you also looking forward to the Already Drafted Auction — where you’ll be bidding on top prospects from recent NHL draft classes and starting to fill out your 27-man protected list? Do you have targets in mind or a favourite date that you are eyeing for that week-long auction — or do you have all those dates circled on your calendar?\n\nANSWER: I love scouting talent — both drafted and undrafted — so I will be pouring through it all soon, but to be honest I have not delved too deeply into it yet. I have heard this is one of the deepest drafts since possibly all the way back to the famous 2003 draft! That is exciting, especially when thinking how high my Warriors’ pick will be. I look forward to adding a significant piece of our team’s future from the 2020 draft. I have done some research on the already drafted players and I will do a lot more. I don’t have any strong opinions yet on Lafreniere or the rest of the top 15, but I am very optimistic. I have to get more familiar with how these auctions will all work — the bidding, the dates, all of that — but I will get it all squared away soon.\n\nQUESTION: All in all, how are you enjoying the UFF Sports and UFHL experience thus far? Any early highlights — and, no, you don’t have to say the commentary from the UFHL Redraft host?!?! In all seriousness, what attracted you to this platform and what aspects or concepts do you like the most?\n\nANSWER: I just love fantasy hockey, so that is at the core of what interested me initially. Then when I learned teams will own the players and be able to build from young talent over time, that really hooked me. I tend to be an owner that is not afraid to build over the long term. I like having players I scouted, drafted/acquired, and watch them grow to be NHL players and fantasy contributors. Other aspects of the platform are very interesting and I can’t wait for all the fun parts of it in the coming months and over the first full season. I think there will be growing pains for a lot of owners but once we get the hang of it, this league has the potential to be really fun!\n\nI love that this league mimics the NHL as closely as possible — it really feels like a real league. I love that we each have our own team logos and designed team jerseys that are marketable for real world profits potentially. The crypto currency I am very new at, so we will see how that goes, but again I like the potential to be getting in on something at the start. I love the videos on YouTube — the commentary and info is great. I even am officially on YouTube as I saw myself on camera at the redraft haha.\n\nAlso, so far all the admins have been amazing. Me and others have a ton of questions and none of them ever get annoyed at explaining something multiple times. They all are very nice people — polite, helpful, energetic and excited, which is infectious! I hope to be in this league a very long time and I wish us the best of success!\n\n\n![Warriors logo.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWxRHdPsUeeWwgpQRvVacXZrW7nRwRPdKG1DPDnjRtu8n/Warriors%20logo.png)\n\n\nWarriors Current Roster\nForwards\n\nAnders Lee-Elias Pettersson-Blake Wheeler\n\nZach Parise-Jordan Staal-Alexander Radulov\n\nMichael Rasmussen-Filip Chytil-Dylan Sikura\n\nNick Cousins-Derek Ryan-Brett Ritchie\n\nDefencemen\n\nNoah Hanifin-Ivan Provorov\n\nDevon Toews-Jared Spurgeon\n\nCalvin de Haan-Michael Stone\n\nGoaltenders\n\nPetr Mrazek\n\nAnton Khudobin\n\nExtra Skaters: Christian Wolanin (D), Sebastian Aho (D), Antti Suomela (F)\n\nFisher’s Thoughts\nSean will always be Dr. Cosgrove in my eyes — kidding, my apologies on the career mix-up, but that doesn’t diminish his efforts during this pandemic. But thankfully we’re all talking hockey again these days — not COVID, with no positive tests inside the NHL’s bubble to date as the playoffs forge ahead.\n\nSean clearly has a love-hate relationship with the last name Lemieux. He’s not alone in his hatred of Claude Lemieux — one of hockey’s most hated players in recent decades, for what he did to the Whalers and to the Red Wings with that Kris Draper hit in 1996. Lemieux was a dirty player and his son Brendan is very much a chip off the old block, having been suspended for the first two games of these playoffs. They are not related to Super Mario — Claude and Mario are the same age, both turning 55 this year — but I loved that Mario autograph memory and how the highlight and lowlight of Sean’s hockey fandom both involved the last name Lemieux.\n\nAs for the present and the Warriors’ franchise, I loved Sean’s selection of Elias Pettersson second overall and was a little surprised that he didn’t surround him with a younger supporting cast. But looking at the Warriors’ top-six forwards, you can see why it made sense to draft win-now players and why the Warriors could be contenders next season. The Warriors are built like an NHL team in terms of their roster, with a strong top six up front, a very strong top four on defence, and a quality goaltending tandem.\n\nThere is lots to like in that lineup and even more so if that kid line of Rasmussen, Chytil and Sikura develops into impact players for the Warriors, who will be getting another impact player for their future through the Entry Auction in October. Sean will find out where exactly his auction spot will be — when he’ll be entering the auction — with next Monday’s Entry Auction Lottery (aka the Lafreniere Lottery). Best of luck to the Warriors there and going forward in the UFHL!",

Of 21 entrants, Harrison was the only one to pick Minnesota.\n\nThrough two days of the NHL playoffs, Cameron’s Norse Stars and Jason’s Elite Assassins are the clubhouse leaders, having gone 5-for-8 thus far.\n\nIn the UFHL playoffs, Chericce’s Crypto Knights had the best performance on Day 2 — racking up 30.75 points and getting contributions from everyone. Scott Laughton was her top point-getter (8.9), but Taylor Hall (6.6), Roman Josi (4.6) and David Perron (4.1) also chipped in nicely.\n\nThrough two days, Crypto Knights (41.8) and Justin’s Power Players (40.45) have produced the most points as the only franchises over 40 points, but there are four other franchises between 30-40 total points thus far. As for the head-to-head matchups, Dean’s Duckman’s Domination (34.85) and Mike’s Blades of Steel (24.85) are living up to my billing as the marquee matchup.

      "body": "Good afternoon,\n\nI wanted to take time to update everyone on what's happening in the UFF Sports war room. \n\nThis is also an update on the ongoing development that our team is busy working on every day.\n\nAs with most things in today's crazy world, our project has had to adapt to the changing circumstances in the world of sports, but also in the world economy as a whole. \n\nThe amount of fiat money that is being printed for the worldwide \"bailout of everything\" programs will alter our current worldwide economic structure. Things are about to change forever and there are many indications that we are ALL moving to some type of blockchain solution in every industry and every economy worldwide. \n\nThe mass adoption of all types of cryptos and blockchains by big corporations, banks and governments will bring crypto to the mainstream public. This adoption helps pave the way for the continued growth and success of the Ultimate Franchise Fantasy Sports Platform. WE ARE STILL BUILDING AND INVESTING FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!\n\nUFHL Corona Cup Simulated Playoffs\n\nWith the hockey shutdown, the UFF Sports team decided to load all of our actual fantasy franchise rosters into EA sports NHL20 video game and run a head-to-head fantasy sports playoff. Games are regular 20 minute periods, 7 games series with games being streamed live on our UFF Sports YouTube account and on our Facebook page.\n\nchannel.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEf9dPWc7z8TunuMBB7EOqQ\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/uffsportsofficial/\n\nWe are currently entering round two, here is the bracket so far. These are the actual rosters and names of official UFHL franchises.\n\n\n![photo_2020-04-25_09-12-54.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeJatPkkrz5ak6WYSbfR3GZMuBGk6yyZbkpj1tcXGGsmK/photo_2020-04-25_09-12-54.jpg)\n\nThese playoffs have been great fun for all involved and it has helped us work out the bugs on our revolutionary staking platform. What's staking you ask?\n\nStaking Score Token: For fun! And For Coin Accumulation!\n\nWhat is Score Coin (SCO)? \n\nScore Coin is the utility coin used to transact within the Ultimate Franchise Fantasy Sports game. Score Coin is transferable with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). SCO tokens can be purchased at gneiss.io. These tokens can be used to purchase franchises and to register scouted players. You can also Stake* them to earn rewards, and in the future, they can be used for live betting and purchasing merchandise. \n\nWhat is Staking? \n\nOne of the easiest ways to make money in the crypto space is through staking. So, what exactly is it? Staking means holding a cryptocurrency in a wallet for a fixed period, then earning rewards on it. The reward that one earns from staking varies depending on the platform, length of time, and other variables set out by the project. \n\n ***YOU CANNOT LOSE ANY COINS BY STAKING THEM!***\n\nIf you stake on a team that lost, your coins are still yours and can be removed at any time. You can only win coins, or you have the same as when you started.\n\n![Staking image 2020-04-25 120936.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmasGmfg4w3PxeumwQRHMb9vciobvxavtnThjD1KLRxR7E/Staking%20image%202020-04-25%20120936.png)\n\nOnce you stake your coins with a team, a payout/coin is triggered for every fantasy point that team earns during the time you had your coins in their pot. It could be one game, one week, one month or the entire season. Payouts happen at the end of every active day until you remove your coins.  \nThis is the payout formula (0.004/1SCO x53 fantasy points = 0.212 SCO payout) \nThis payout is split in the following way, \nFan (staker)  80% \nFranchise  15% \nUFF Sports  5% \n \nShow me an example? \n                \n                       UFF Sports Fan RICKY \n \nRicky is a huge FAN of the UFHL, but doesn’t have time to run a franchise. So, he registers as a FAN on the uffsports.com website.    \n\nHe buys Score Coins at gneiss.io. Coins are currently pegged at $0.02USD/SCO. \n\nHe decides to stake 1000 SCO on his favourite UFHL franchise, The Royals, for a 1-week period. This is done on the uffsports.com site. \n\nThe Royals earn 53 fantasy points that week. \n\nAt the end of that week, the SCO earnings are paid out at a rate of: \n\n4 SCO/1000 SCO staked x 53 fantasy points = 212 SCO payout \n(0.004/1SCO x53 fantasy points = 0.212 SCO payout) \n\nThe payout is automatically sent to your wallet address at the end of each day. \n\n\n How will this work for the Corona Cup? \n\nThe simulated head-to-head 2020 Corona Cup is actually UFHL fantasy teams playing each other and we are modifying the staking to accommodate this. \nSimply put, the winning team of each simulated game will be rewarded 25 fantasy points. \nThe losing team will receive zero. \nThe payouts will be the same as the above structure. \n\nWhat are we currently building?\n\nThe current focus of the UFF Sports Development team is two-fold:\n\n1. The team is working hard on a simple portal on the UFFSports.com website to purchase Score Coins with ease. You will simply enter how many SCO you want to purchase and hit the \"Buy\" button. You will then see an Etherum (ETH) address to send your payment to, send the ETH and boom you will have SCO. It can readily be used to stake, register players as a scout, or buy your own franchise.\n\n2. SCOUTING is the second thing our coding geniuses are finalizing. Scouting is the bedrock of the UFF Sports platform, we are the first to introduce this concept and build it upon a strong structure. There will be a scouting registry/login, you will pay a one-time lifetime fee to become a licenced UFF Sports Scout. From there you will have the ability to register young talent on the platform and become the owner of that digital asset, which can never be duplicated.\n\nWe are building a page that will list all of the scouts and the players they own. From this page, fellow scouts can trade and purchase these assets. Franchise owners can also make use of this page, as they look to fill their rosters and protected lists.\n\nWe will talk more about Scouting and the launch day of the system in coming updates. I can tell you that Scouting is going to bring an entirely new dimension to fantasy sports worldwide and we will be the industry leader.\n\nThat's all for this update regarding what we are working on. We have a target date of June 01, 2020 for these updates to be complete. Our simulation games are ongoing on YouTube and Facebook. \n\nStaking alpha is operational and we have some cool programs that we will be announcing where you can earn SCO for free.\n\nAll the best to everyone, looking forward to an exciting future.\n\nThe Honch\nTony C\n\n\n![UFF Sports Logo.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW7mnNwhtXNcLMi6r6D3AkwC24PgCRhpi1BExpoy6zy95/UFF%20Sports%20Logo.jpg)",
