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 shot is made at Bird. A good save but he spills it and then just... sits there. One of their players skates up and somehow lifts it over the net. He then skates around behind the net, and then deposits it calmly past Bird, who has started to move again. Craziest stuff happens when we're shorthanded.

I missed it but now it's 2-2 at the end of the second. Wait, no, 3-2. WTF.

We attack, attack, attack in the third, but there are no more goals to be found.

Next up are the Devils, who are 15th in the East. Would be good to get a win back here.


Fisk with a powerplay goal two minutes into the first. 1-0.


#4 Asiina has the puck stolen by #71 who then fires a shot that catches Bird sleeping. 1-1, end of the first.


Puck goes from #51 to #10 to #77 across their front line to the wing, and he buries it. Down 2-1 now.

Hats scores from distance on a powerplay to level it at 2-2, which is how the third will begin. And in. To overtime!


Just over 30 seconds into overtime, Fisk took a shot which their goalie spills but doesn't react to. Fisk calmly skates up and puts it past him to win the game.

Blackhawks away, next.


It was boring and did not go well so I didn't get any good screenshots. We played like crap and I just want to get past this one.

Immediately, away to the #2 in the West Dallas Stars.

Nothing happens for the first two periods, then


Moat scores two minutes into the third period. With six minutes to go, though, the Stars tied it 1-1, and then a minute later we were losing 2-1. Of course, another minute goes by, then


Moat ties it from close range, 2-2.


Straight from the face off, Pinterest Mom found Moat who then squared it to Fisk and what do you know, we're in the lead 3-2. Four goals in less than two minutes. Crazy, crazy, crazy.


What a whirlwind of emotions at the end, there. Moat, Fisk, and PMom were huge at the end and that's an important win to edge us closer to 4th place. In fact, the win puts us in 3rd place, winning a three way tie. I think we are probably too far back to catch the Kings in 1st, and the division winners take the top two spots, so this is about as high as we can go.

Home against the Rangers will end this update.

RF scores from crazy far out less than a minute in, and while I typed this up Podima scored to make it 2-0 in less than two minutes. I think I'm gonna get my wi... hey, Murmur Twin scored, too. 3-0 after 10 minutes. Anyway, as I was saying, I think I'm gonna get my wish.


Here is RF making it 4-0 halfway through the second, and that's how it ends.


Seriously look how far out that first RF goal is from. What a guy.

We are 12 points between our wins and Canuck losses away from clinching a spot in the playoffs. We're almost there. Also, Fisk is tied for leading goal scorer. I'm unsure how the game chose who to display but I wanted to make sure to mention that.

Wrap up

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 14

July 2030 Quid Nose, This is a Stickup, and Po Dima are all out of contract. Retro Futurist retired on July 17th. Quid Nose signed a 2 year, $110,000 per year deal with Lustenau in Austria. This is a Stickup signed a 1 year, $141,000 deal with Tappara in Finland. Also, this happened. I landed here. Po Dima, the oldest player in the game, remains without a team. I halfway think he may just retire. August 2030 September 2030 He actually retired a day later. Podima's memorial. He's rated as a 5 star because I'm currently in the ECHL. His last check in at the NHL level was a 1 star. This means we only have 3 Scumhunters left, and none of them are playing in the NHL currently. October 2030 With everyone playing overseas, we won't get many updates for NHL milestones, so this should go very quickly. I may end up doing a 2-for-1 and combine two years in this. Scumhunters are 2-10-2, 14th place. SEE IT WASN'T ALL MY F...

It's been too long

Sorry folks! A long month of work means I didn't have a lot of time to do this like I wanted. However, I'm gonna be on a regular Monday / Wednesday / Friday updates now through the end, with the exception of tomorrow because I'm posting this update today instead. The penalty being a $50 donation to charity for each one I miss. Ok, back to the hockey! A road win????? What is this madness???? But it's a good start after a long layoff. PMom with a goal and two assists was amazing for us today. This road win was coupled with some good news. Gonna have to reconfigure the lineups a bit to accommodate PMush's return, but that is probably a good problem to have. Poque is going to slot back in immediately. Shoring up the defense will probably help us as we approach the middle of the season. Birdstrike was tired and needed a rest so EccoRaven stepped in at goalie. We were on the road so a loss isn't completely unexpected. Statistically, I feel like we w...
