The New Year is not kind

We start off this update with some good injury news.




I'll probably wait to slot him back into the lineup. Him and Fisk are my worst two players by average rating this season and I want to see if Fisk can compete for the spot. In truth, Center has been a void. My top four ranked centers are my four worst players. Meanwhile, Kashuno, who should be the odd man out as my #5 Center talent-wise has been one of the best players on the team this season. I'm just not sure what to do with any of that. I just discovered a new screen actually.









I'll have to start adding this at the end of updates along with leaders and stats. Cool beans. Anyway, on to the games. We've got a four game home stand to start this update off.



Well, that's a less than ideal start. I also still haven't learned how to keep my cursor out of the screenshot apparently. Jeez, how many updates has it been? I don't have a lot to say about this one. It's yet another example of an Eastern team outplaying us. So now we get to play the Blues who earlier this year set the record for most defeats in a row. I can only pray this goes well.




Predictably, we're down 2-0 inside of 6 minutes. Killer.


We got back in it at 2-2 but an early goal in the second was the end of the scoring for the game. Criminal. We completely outplayed them and couldn't do anything with it. Argh.

In better news, the All Star invites came out. Well, invite, singular.




Congrats to The Lord of Hats! He deserves it. I also got Capitalist Pig to sign a new contract somehow? That's good. Game 3 of 4 at home time.






Nothing happened in this game and I hate all of my players right now. 14 penalty minutes. Bleh. Hopefully the last game of this stand will bring a change, I don't want to lose every game in this update.



¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Vote Moat it rhymes or something like that. I don't know. I'm glad we won.

Ok, that's all I can stomach for this update. Check in next time to see how Hats does in the All Star game and also to see if we can win at home. It'll be 3 home games and 2 road games, probably. May do more than 5 if we actually win a few, ha.

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...
