I’m living MY Fantasy — Are you in?

By Nation Dan

6 years ago

The season rapidly approaching.

Not a speck of light is showing

So the danger must be growing

Are the fires of last place Hell a-glowing

Is the grisly reaper baggedmilk mowing

Yes, the fomo must be growing

For the drafters keep on drafting

And they’re certainly not showing

As excitement builds for the season, so to does the excitement for this year’s installment of Nation Drafts. Northern Alberta residents are eagerly thinking of what the $5000 pre-paid gift card.

Did I mention what you can win?

3st place nets you a $1000 pre-paid VISA gift card

2st place nets you a $2500 pre-paid VISA gift card

1st place nets you a $5000 pre-paid VISA gift card

Cash money.

And you only have to pay… wait, what’s that Baggedmilk? That can’t be right. HOLD PLEASE.

.. ok we’re back. I have checked this three times and it is indeed a free entry. That shit is bananas.

Anyways. I haven’t been asked here today to tell you about the cost of the pool as much as I have been asked to give you some tips and tricks to entering your very own team into the Nationdraft.

The format is very simple. Twenty-one boxes each having five different NHL players housed within (who wouldn’t want to be invited to the Eichel-Matthews-Laine-Pastrnak-Panarin household?) each and you have to select one.

First step after that is logging into the new and improved Daily Faceoff!

On Dailyfaceoff.com you will be able to see such things as daily lineups, the starting goalies for each and every night of the regular season.

But the tool that will be most beneficial to you my friendly citizen friends is the news feed.

That is some GOOD up to the minute news that you will have at your fingertips. So yea. Don’t @ me for tips and advice. The fine folks @dailyfaceoff will be able to help you out all over the fantasy world.

BUT let us discuss the fantasy teams you will be amassing

Gone are the days of hoping for Lucic to be bumped up to Connor’s wing again. Or drafting in the 15th round hoping you found the injury bounce back of the century. With Nationdrafts.com you now have the luxury of crafting the team you want. The fix you need to get you through those non-game nights for your local sports team. Think of being able to watch Johnny Gaudreau and ACTUALLY be happy when he scores because it’s another point for “Milos Monsters” (Team name still available)

Twenty-One of the best players in the league will be on your squad. Yes we will all have McDavid… but after that, the combinations are endless.

Here is what you can aspire to be if you want to beat Nation Dan’s Upper Deckers:

Connor McDavid
Steven Stamkos
Tyler Seguin
Patrik Laine
John Tavares
Max Pacioretty
Jonathan Drouin
Ryan Johansen
Filip Forsberg
Taylor Hall
Mark Stone
Aleksander Barkov
Jordan Eberle
Nathan MacKinnon
Bo Horvat
Erik Karlsson
Torey Krug
P.K. Subban
Alex Pietrangelo
Mark Giordano
Shayne Gostisbehere

Meanwhile, if you want to take down The Nation Chris’s “Thai Domi” squad:

Nikita Kucherov
Brad Marchand
Johnny Gaudreau
Artemi Panarin
Phil Kessel
Mikael Granlund
Viktor Arvidsson
Cam Atkinson
James Van Riemsdyk
Patrice Bergeron
Nazem Kadri
Mats Zuccarello
Ryan Kesler
Conor Sheary
Vincent Trocheck
Kevin Shattenkirk
Dougie Hamilton
Justin Schultz
Jake Gardiner
Seth Jones

Woof that’s bad. But let Chris’ mistakes be your reward. If you have ever had the chance to play in a Nation Draft before, you know that we throw in some curveballs. Within the Thai Domi roster there are some red flags to keep an eye on. Injuries and other issues abound. Don’t be like Chris. Do you homework. Then sign up.
