All Star Break

With the All Star Break in this update, and with me having some work to do tonight, this is gonna be a short update. Let's jump right in.



Uhhh... maybe this will be a one game update. This game was out of reach within seven minutes. Frustration.



Game two here goes much better. We found ourselves down 2-0 but a great fight back led by Podima's two goals and an assist saw us through.


Well, on the road. Had a 2 goal lead. Lost that. Took the lead again. Lost it. Made it to overtime. Snooze Cruise got a high sticking penalty just before OT so we played 80% of the bonus period down a person. And then we missed both of our shots in the shootout. Tough loss. Well lets hope the All Star game can reinvigorate us.



Well, Team Dias got ran through, but The Lord of Hats notched up a (second) assist! Also, I happened to notice this.



The Lord of Hats was captain for Team Dias. Way to go, Hats! After the game we got an email about this.




Ok, next game for Scumhunters!



A late-ish double by Kashuno saves our bacon here. The other thing of note to happen in this game was BottleKnight getting tossed.




So I'm going to have to sit him for a little while. Actually, the NHL is taking care of that for me, apparently.




I'm gonna appeal that. If the NHL panel is anything like the MLS panel, they'll cave to me.





Hahaha.  Dance, puppets, dance. Still going to make him sit for inconveniencing me all the same.

 Captain of the West The Lord of Hats wins it in overtime, saving us from an embarrassing shootout loss. Cool. Think I'm gonna leave it here for now. We are 50 games in and still look good for the playoffs, which was always objective one. We have a 7 game road stretch coming up, though. That will probably make our break our season. I will plan on getting through that next time.

Wrap up:

The End

Hey folks, I am way behind because of work and some other things so it's time to make that right. It will be picture light but content heavy. To start today we are hosting the Bruins, who are 16th in the East. Should be academic but we all know about our struggles against teams from the East. The first and second periods pass by in a flash, with the game not stopping to show me anything of note. Both teams took 16 shots and there were 3 power plays but no good opportunities. The third period is much of the same. We create a few goal mouth scrambles in the last minute of regulation but nothing do. Overtime is equally sleepy, so to a shootout we go. Why am I not surprised? Diqnol and Hats hit their efforts right at the goalie, while PMom just misses the net completely. Bummer. The result drops us to 7th. Away to Nashville now. The Predators are in 5th so if we want to have a shot at hosting a home playoff series we probably need to win here. Halfway through the first w...

Injury bug strikes again

We start today's update with some less than ideal news. I think the 23 player squad limit is the biggest thing I am having trouble adjusting to, especially when we roster 20 in a game. I've got a couple of injuries so I have free spots on my bench now which I assume is not good? Anyway, onto the first game of this update. A home loss is less than ideal. Confirmation that we suck against teams from the East as well as on the road. Gosh. So of course our next game is on the road to a team from the East, Columbus! They are 13-11-4. Let's see how it goes. Its_is_a_mystery.png Ok then Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I need new penalty takers apparently. Kash also blew a glorious chance to win it with 10 seconds left in OT. And then. Well, at least this update is almost over. Can't get much worse I hope. On the road to the 14th placed team in the East. Predictable ending. Sigh. Okay, one more game for this quick update. ...

Seven Days in Hell

It was four months ago that we began this journey, seeking after a simple prize: Lord Stanley's Cup. And now, here we are, in the finals. We are on the road for four games this series and we're facing the #1 team in the East, two things that we have struggled against this season. In fact, we lost both of our regular season match-ups with the Maple Leafs. This is going to be rough. I'm not exactly confident and would not be surprised if we got swept here. Nevertheless! The show must go on. And on that note, Stickup says he is good to go.  Game 1 The first period is a period of nerves. Interestingly, though, the nerves are all on the home Maple Leafs. We get five power plays in the opening 12 minutes of the game. And on the fifth. Kashuno makes them pay. Poque retrieved the puck deep in the attacking end, gave it to Leatherman, and FL found Kashuno. 1-0 early and I just screamed in my hotel room.  A few minutes later and the Maple Leafs have a good go ...
