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.

Wrap up:

The End

Hey folks, I am way behind because of work and some other things so it's time to make that right. It will be picture light but content heavy. To start today we are hosting the Bruins, who are 16th in the East. Should be academic but we all know about our struggles against teams from the East. The first and second periods pass by in a flash, with the game not stopping to show me anything of note. Both teams took 16 shots and there were 3 power plays but no good opportunities. The third period is much of the same. We create a few goal mouth scrambles in the last minute of regulation but nothing do. Overtime is equally sleepy, so to a shootout we go. Why am I not surprised? Diqnol and Hats hit their efforts right at the goalie, while PMom just misses the net completely. Bummer. The result drops us to 7th. Away to Nashville now. The Predators are in 5th so if we want to have a shot at hosting a home playoff series we probably need to win here. Halfway through the first w...

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. ...

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...
