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.

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 ...

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. ...

Mailing it in

Bonus update. I don't have the most time in the world so back to just pictures today. We open with a home game against the Capitals, who are 2nd in the East. I probably forgot to mention it last time, but Ecco took over at goalie for the last game. Birdstrike was tired and wanted a day off. He's back in the lineup today, though. Halfway through the first period, Poque picks up the loose puck behind our net. Quickly, he hits it out to Murmur Twin who in turn pushes it up to busb, flashing down the left wing. Busb centers it back for Murmur Twin, who Makes no mistake about putting the biscuit in the basket. 1-0. #8 MMM Whatchya Say took a shot and the goalie spilled it. #33 Retro Futurist was on hand to tap it in, a real poachers goal. 2-0, which is how the first ends. Don't have a screenshot, but it gets made 2-1 after a comedy of errors halfway through the second. Poque turns the puck over near the middle of the rink for some reason. A few passes later and a s...
