Return of the King

So first, a couple of roster moves. I sent Magnus Gallant down to Tuscon so I could call up Retro Futurist. We're doing well so I hesitated to make a change but MG didn't play a lot (3 games) and I wanted to try to do something useful.

Ohhh.... that didn't go well. Tough road trip. Ecco and Retro Futurist made their debuts today. Sorry birb, I pulled you after we wen't down 0-3.

Moat came back in time for our away trip to St Louis.


Hahahaha BLUES SUCK. Wren with two and Murmur Twin with two and Moat even got in on the action in his first game back. :toot: How bad must the Blues be????




Oh... they're the team right in front of us in the standings. How did we get dunked on by the team in 12th place but whoop the leaders? It_is_a_mystery.png I guess Moat is good luck. Back home to face Columbus.






Heck yeah, Moat as a good luck guy confirmed. Birdstrike got another assist, Fisk racked up more points, and Podima scored another goal. I told you I'd get you better minutes!

Got this note from one of the assistants


Asiina stop that! Snooze Cruise will be taking your spot if you aren't ready for the next game.




Uhhhh... just gonna pretend this one didn't happen.




I know it is only a two game losing streak but it suddenly feels like the season is about to spiral out of control. Turn left, game, noooooooooo. This was a frustrating one to sit through. I thought we had done enough to won it, taking the lead with under 4 to play, but it just wasn't to be.




UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm losing to Eastern Conference scrubs. I am worried that, come playoffs time, I will walk through the West, get to the Stanley Cup, and get swept. Jeeeeeeeeez. Gotta do something different. Looking over the team, Fisk has had the worst average rating. Gonna sit him for Kashuno and see what happens.





Well, Kash immediately repaid my faith with a goal. However, we are back to playing a Western team, so we may have done fine anyway.




Me too, buddy. OK, one more game for the night.



...in which we apparently have no problem going on the road and beat one of the best teams in the East. OK then. One last bit of news and then we'll look at stats and standings.



Alright then.

Rounding the corner

I apologize for missing Friday. I was in Delaware and didn't get home until super late, followed by a day trip to Dallas for the weekend so time was not in high supply. I will do a make-up entry tomorrow. Additionally, I'm trying something new this entry: Video! Unfortunately, it took a couple of tries to get things just right so the first game or two of this update will have sparse information. Let's just get started. First up, the Sabers at home. Here is PMush scoring! Unfortunately, that was the only good thing to happen to us this game. Next up, Ducks on the road!  A well taken RF goal.  And there here is This Is A Stickup scoring, but only in picture form. Those were the only highlights I managed.  Ok, on to this game against the Canadiens, where I have an actual lot of highlights to get through.  The puck gets wrapped around the back of the net. Stickup went out to collect but Hats beats him there. Hats...

Epilogue Year 6

July 2022 Ecco Raven, Magnus Gallant, Murmur Twin (Kings), CC Keane (Ducks), Diq Nol (retiring), Bird Strike, Kash Uno (Blue Jackets), and Retro Futurist (Kings) are all out of contract and have left their respective teams. Ecco signed for Scumhunters for 4 years, $3.3 million per year Murmur Twin signed for Scumhunters for 1 year, $4.8 million Retro Futurist signed for Scumhunters for 4 years, $3.7 million per year Bird Strike signed for Scumhunters for 2 years, $1.8 million per year Magnus Gallant signed for Scumhunters for 3 years, $1.35 million per year CC Keane signed for Scumhunters for 2 years, $3.6 million per year Kashuno signed for Scumhunters for 3 years, $1.6 million per year LOL that Bird is getting less money than Ecco. Bird has always started and Ecco has been #2. I wonder if that is changing? In the hurry to sign up all these players, we are over the salary cap I think, so someone if not a few folks will probably be released again. Circle of life. This is ...

Epilogue Year 5

July 2021 Magnus Gallant and Bottle Knight have left the Scumhunters. The AI let a lot of players go so we are down to a squad of 12 Scumhunters, 4 randos, and 2 guys the computer made up because we didn't have a lot of players. Cant look at their "Information" or give them an actual contract. Nice job, AI. Should mean a lot of players in. Sure enough, Magnus Gallant re-signed. This is a guy whose latest contract extension was for $920,000 and has exclusively played in the AHL at Tuscon the last three years. He was just handed a $3.6 million dollar one year deal. AI dumb. Bottle Knight also returned for 2 years, $3.2 million per year. I mentioned possible retirements coming up. Here's one. And actually, a day later, he went ahead and retired, not bothering to play the last season on his contract. So here are FL's final screens. 23 Scumhunters remain. August 2021 Austria will host the 2026 Olympic games. September 2021 The L...
