‘Tis the weekend before fantasy hockey! Victor and Jesse go through the annual exercise of looking at the 10-15 players we took most often in our redraft leagues — the real proof of guys we are ‘high’ on relative to other drafters. We did this last year, so we also look back and hold ourselves accountable for those results. Did we actually learn anything? Who’s to say? Lastly, we hand out our advice on how to approach this season. As usual, Jesse somehow thinks 30+ year old pop culture is the best way to fire up the listeners. May you all be 1-0 in your leagues by the time you hear from us next! (Unless you are playing one of us). Follow on twitter @victornuno12 @fanhockeylife.
