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...

Wrapping up a road trip

We have the second half of that road trip to tackle so lets get to it. We're away to the Captials. They're 5th in the East to our 5th in the West. The first period didn't have a lot happen in it at all. In the second the deadlock was broken by a good effort by Fisk. The Fisk goal was about the only action of the second period. Pretty dull proceedings. Things were going pretty well until Poque just decided to stop skating after the puck at one point. That turnover led to a goal and sent the game to overtime.Also the puck deflected off of Birdstrike. Way to go, keep. Well, you can probably guess how that turned out. The winning goal came at the very end of overtime. There was a faceoff happening with 20 seconds left so I pulled this up to type that previous paragraph because I just knew  how things were going to go. Of course Poque decided to make amends for being a bonehead earlier. Since I forgot that, and because I decided to not bother copying the bottom half ...

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. ...
