Epilogue: Year 1

There were 25 players who were awarded medals after the Mumbles Scumhunters successfully won the Stanley Cup. While I may not be interested in playing through a full season as such again, I can absolutely just sim a month at a time and keep track of what happens to all of us. Eventually the Scumhunters will fire me and then I'll be free. Maybe I should just resign now. Hm. Eh, I'll give it a year.

August 2017

Snooze Cruise signs a new contract with the Scumhunters under AI control. I'm still hands off but obviously I'm happy to see Snooze come home. I have half a mind to offer Keane and Wren, they are open to contracts right now, but I'm keeping my hands out of this.

Keane signed a 5 year, $3.8 million per year, deal with the New York Rangers.

Wren signed a 3 year, $2 million per year, deal with the Buffalo Sabres.

September 2017

The Lord of Hats is named captain of the Scumhunters again. Poque and Bottleknight are named as alternate captains. I believe Poque replaced Flying Leatherman. Training camp begins.

The Scumhunters sold 12582 season tickets.

Scumhunters are predicted as 2nd most likely to lift Stanley Cup, behind the Sabres. Hats is still MVP. Snooze Cruise is considered the best signing so far.

Moat was put on the trading block.

Quidnose was assigned to Tuscon.

Hats made #3 on a list top defensemen heading into the season.

October 2017

Bottleknight won a Player of the Week and Offensive Player of the Week award for a week of one goal and three assists across two games.

EccoRaven won the October Player of the Month award for playing three games, all of which were wins, and recording two shutouts.

November 2017

The Lord of Hats, Pinterest Mom, Podima, Murmur Twin, Poque, Leatherman, Busb, and Stickup played in their 100th NHL game.

This happened:



Note that I didn't choose the response to the media, but when the AI chooses while I'm "on vacation" it still attaches my name.

The Sabres have already put Wren on the trading block. He has played in 25 games, scoring 5 goals and recording 4 assists.

Birdstrike won Defensive Player of the Month. Seven games played, two shutouts, six wins.

Quidnose won AHL Player of the Month down in Tuscon. Nine games played, four goals, ten assists.

Keane has played 26 games for the Rangers, assisting on 9 goals. He is the second shift RD.

Fisk is the Scumhunters leading scorer with 13 goals. Pinterest Mom has the most assists with 13. The Scumhunters are 3rd in the West, 2 points off 1st.

December 2017

Kashuno, MMM Whatchya Say, Jonathan Fisk, Birdstrike, Asiina, and Retro Futurist hit their 100th NHL game

Snooze Cruise picked up a 2 game ban after picking up against a game misconduct penalty in a 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Capitalist Pig was put on the trading block.

The Scumhunters lost 8-1 to the Sabres. Oof.

End of December, the Scumhunters are 4th in the West, six points out of 1st. Fisk has 17 goals to lead the team, and Bottleknight has 17 assists.

January 2018

Poque got suspended for a game for a match penalty in a 3-2 win over the Jets. He was later given a second game for that. Good going.

Diqnol, Moat, and Poison Mushroom hit 100 NHL games.

Moat and Pig, already on the trading block, formally put in transfer requests.

Hats has been tipped to win some post season awards.

Scumhunters end January in 6th place, 9 points ahead of 9th.

February 2018

The Olympics were this month! Here were our call ups.


Three call ups. Nice. Especially for Hats...


Got an update on the first game.



OH NO. I just moved forward a week and got a bajillion trade rumor emails so I don't have any more playing emails :\

Birdstrike played all four games for Slovakia as they were eliminated. Unfortunately, they lost all four games. Three in regulation, one in a shootout. Starting goalie.

Hats has played all four games for Canada at this point, finding one goal and three assists, being named as the best player against Switzerland (2 assists) and Latvia (1 goal, 1 assist). First shift left defense.

PMom has played all four games for USA, no points recorded yet though. Fourth shift center.

Semi finals:


So Canada went to the Bronze medal game:


While the USA was in the finals:


Congrats PMom!

It seems like the Scumhunters tried to trade for Wren. We offered a 3rd and a 4th for Wren and a 4th in 2020. Sabres rejected.

A final Olympics update:


Scumhunters still in 6th.

March 2018

Pig and Bottleknight reached 100 NHL games. PMom reached 100 NHL Points.

The Scumhunters are in 5th, and need only 3 points to clinch a playoff berth.

The following players have not renewed contracts yet and look like they will enter free agency: MMM Whatchya Say, Magnus Gallant, Capitalist Pig, This Is A Stickup, Quidnose, Moatillata

April 2018

Bottleknight won a player of the week (and OPOTW) award when he scored 3 and assisted 5 in a 4 game span.

Fisk hit 100 points. Snooze Cruise hit 100 appearances.

Scumhunters are playing the Sharks in the first round. We lost all 5 matchups against them this year.

Retro Futurist got tossed and ended up with a total of a 3 game suspension after getting a match penalty.

PMom was Offensive Player of the Week, playing 3 and scoring 3.

PMom scored two goals in game 7 to lead the Scumhunters to a 4-3 series win over the Sharks. The Ducks are next.

May 2018

Bottleknight got another player of the week + OPOTW combo, 3 games, 2 goals, 3 assists.

MMM Whatchya Say, Podima, Bottleknight, and a non-maf new player scored in a 4-1 win over the Ducks to complete a 4-0 sweep. The Avalanche are next in the Western Conference Finals.

Murmur Twin won an offensive player of the week for 3 goals in 2 games.

Game 1: Lost in the 106th minute in overtime.
Game 2: Lost 20 seconds into overtime.
Game 3: Lost 3 minutes into overtime.

We won game 4, but lost in 5. Avalanche vs Capitals for the Cup.

June 2018

Capitals swept the Avalanche.


Game spit this out at me:


AFAIK, Hats hasn't won the Norris Trophy. So... spoilers maybe? Nope, awards came and went and nothing for the Scumhunters, so I guess that is just something he won in the past sometime.

MMM Whatchya Say, Moat Illata, and This Is A Stickup have left the team and become free agents. Capitalist Pig is out of contract, but his rights remain with the Scumhunters as he is a restricted free agent.


Congrats Bottleknight.

See everyone for 2018/19.

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. ...

Seven Days in Hell

It was four months ago that we began this journey, seeking after a simple prize: Lord Stanley's Cup. And now, here we are, in the finals. We are on the road for four games this series and we're facing the #1 team in the East, two things that we have struggled against this season. In fact, we lost both of our regular season match-ups with the Maple Leafs. This is going to be rough. I'm not exactly confident and would not be surprised if we got swept here. Nevertheless! The show must go on. And on that note, Stickup says he is good to go.  Game 1 The first period is a period of nerves. Interestingly, though, the nerves are all on the home Maple Leafs. We get five power plays in the opening 12 minutes of the game. And on the fifth. Kashuno makes them pay. Poque retrieved the puck deep in the attacking end, gave it to Leatherman, and FL found Kashuno. 1-0 early and I just screamed in my hotel room.  A few minutes later and the Maple Leafs have a good go ...
