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:

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...
