HHH waiting for the best moment to unleash all of his goals in one game

Looking forward to seeing some of the new blood in GM spots! I think a couple people leaked this a little last week but I'm ready for a shake-up of the VHLM. Hopefully with sustained new recruits we can see the majors fill out nicely as well.

Penalties + HHH sleeping are the main culprits here. STHS seems to have a vendetta against HHH these days.

Valiant effort by Kingfisher. It was just a few shots too many

Good performances all around - time to start gearing up for next season.

Saul Hackett Defenseman Points Hits

Oof. Big difference in the goalie performance this game.

Poor Sunny can't catch a break. How many 40+ shot games has he had to face now?

Honestly 6-2 seems like a pretty merciful result from Minnesota rn

Sigurdsson trying to take the game off ???

The more games I see simmed the less sure I am about the outcome of the playoffs, wow.

Houston putting the Storm on notice ???

Great game for Storm actives from the top to the bottom. Yeesh.

Casual >50% shot/goal conversion from Freeman - what a game! He sure deserves whatever high draft pick he's selected with a couple of weeks from now.

Ottawa playing like they have nothing to lose with all of these upsets. SSK and now Halifax getting blanked.

Lost, and the kicker is we couldn't even put up decent stats. How disappointing ?

Welp, now we have to rely on the 1/64 chance that we win out and LVA loses out. Tough losses to good teams today.

Ooh, huge win for Team World.

Gritty out here making the World players think he's some kind of voodoo monster spirit

I understand why you'd want this to be the case, for sure. But I think there's enough semi-randomness in TPE-gaining as is through pickems, predict the score, lotto, etc. Were this the case, I'd probably retire Hackett right now and just make an S67 draftee instead. The 'optimal time to create' might become the 'only time to create'. I think it's demoralizing enough to play against 200-250 TPE players as a brand-new player, since you don't put up any stats (other than maybe penalty box time and an occasional assist). Like Bek and Enorama have said, the rich get richer and that's not a good thing for new members without good carryover/understanding of earning opportunities. Provided the work you've put in since character creation and the current draft field, you still have a good shot at making early/mid second round! Unless you ditch your character for like 3 months straight you'll still find value in your player.

The sim is fickle. All this tells me is any of the other top teams can give the Storm a run for their money, Halifax especially.

Welcome to the upset club, Aces ?
