Hi folks. Welcome to SA Mafia's attempt to win the Stanley Cup! We're playing Eastside Hockey Manager on Steam. The idea is to replace a team (RIP Phoenix) with the Mumbles Scumhunters and just see how it goes. I did a random draft with completely fake folks so I couldn't try and just go "Hm, this Crosby kid is a kid I hear a lot about, I should trade for him!" The other thing I had to do is download a save editor. Unlike Football Manager, you can't just Right Click -> Assign Nickname to change the name of players. Also, I didn't understand what was going on with the salary cap? So I had to push that up a little bit...
With all that said, here is the first major email I got.
May be a little hard to read, but the gist: We are predicted to be the 9th best team in the NHL; The Lord of Hats is our star player; and Poque is the best player to join up. Cool. I also got this nice little bit of news:
Fantastic. Glad to have you back, Pod. We also got preseason acknowledgment on a couple of our Defensemen!
Unfortunately for us, they both play LD and are only "competent" at RD so we're probably not going to play them on the ice at the same time. Might experiment with it some day. Other option is potentially trading Poque if he doesn't play a lot of minutes? I don't know. We will just see how it all shakes out!
Busb opened the scoring for us and Pinterest Mom gave us the lead back but it wasn't enough. Fisk was sitting out for Slashing for their power play goal. Not the start you want but long season and so many teams make the playoffs that I think maybe we'll be ok.
On to Game 2!
This is a Stickup had a brace (do they call it that in hockey?) to pull us back into the game and a late Poison Mushroom goal sent it to overtime, which is apparently 3 on 3. Learn something new every day. Anyway, OT ended with no goals scored, so on to the shootout...
Niiiiiice. Good to get a win. Unfortunately....
WELP. Alright. One more game to end the update.
Alright, a convincing win thanks to BK, Stickup, Murmur Twin, and Busb.
