When does the season start?

I guess I'll play

Play-maker. The phrase of play maker is a weird one, it means different things to different people. To some a play-maker is a passer, he has the uncanny vision needed to set his line mates up for a nice goal. Some view a play-maker as a player who holds on to the  puck and makes his own space so he can score. In football a play-maker is simply a player who makes plays. A quarterback who scrambles out of a collapsing pocket to deliver a dime 25 yards down field, a wide out who breaks the ankles of his defender to turn a 5 yard catch into a 60 yard touchdown or even a defensive back who has a nose for big interceptions and can change the tide of the game. 

For me I dislike the term for that reason, making a play is about so much more than a nice pass. A breakout pass from a rearguard to get the offence going is beautiful and so important to making plays. A big power-forward crashing the paint and creating havoc that allows for a sniper to wire his wrister bar down is making a play. Even a bottom line grinder who chips the puck and hammers the defender to force a turnover is making plays. We need to get back to the basic meaning of the term and start calling players appropriately.

Snipers don't just shoot, I mean Dany Heatly did but... I digress. Most goal scorers are competent puck handlers and can pass fairly well. Two way forwards are not just defensive stalwarts and are usually quite proficient offensively. It is two way and not defensive player but we forget that. Ask yourself this; Why are all the best players in the NHL usually called play-makers? The Crosby's and McDavid's are not one dimensional by any means and Crosby has even led the league in goal scoring but is still a play-maker. People need to wake up and start using their brains. In a world where we are so conscientious of labeling people I find it odd that we are so narrow minded in the hockey community. 

Otto Axelsson is indeed a play-maker but he isn't a simpleton who can only pass the puck to his team mates. Otto can check and defend and make opponents afraid to be on the ice with him. He has a fast and accurate shot that will help fill the net, it's not a heavy shot mind you but it will lead to goals. Axelsson can stick handle with the best of them and will rag the puck as long as needed until his linemates get open. Otto Axelsson is the real deal, the total package, he is a play maker!

We'll let you stay in here for the time being  

Still my only LR so I'm thankful for that lol. I had to start over, was forced retirement after this season anyways.

What I miss?

As long as I don't get fucked like last time I made a goalie on VHL + GOMHL. 

 

Lol, you can position change now too if you want. It costs some cash and TPE though.

Yeah. Not sure what I'll recreate as either.

 

Winger or Goalie imo. Though, Federov has been my first in any league and I'm really enjoying it.

There is an expansion team starting next season that will need a goalie. 

Just now, Banackock said:

Oh yeah? I want to make a good player though. IDC about stories  

 

I'd rather have a lot of TPE and have the year to start out good.

Lol fair. We also have a developmental league starting there so you would play in both at the same time.

Much thanks friend.

Goof

GM of the Year award goes too... 

 

 

You want to do your regression on GOHML or me?

4 minutes ago, Banackock said:

I also never thought of this. Donovan doesn't have to retire technically. We could use you as trait bait for depth. Members are allowed to have 2 players  

Far too late for that now. You want to do your regression on GOHML?

Dangles, you just need to come in here more

I'm kind of disappointed I don't have the other LR access or contact with my GM. I'm trying to stick around while the new regime sorts it out

I'm having a hard time staying active tbh.

5. Bring Team Finances into play - Sell merchandise based off team performance, tickets - have the team make sweet MONEY. Put this money towards building an arena. Maybe have every team start with a 10,000 capacity shit hole and have them build. 

How about for this we use team activity? Something like the team with the most media/graphics has the highest finances.

cool

Yeah let's go team that I'm barely a part of

Draper wa sa huge part of it, yes. Higgins, imo, does fuck all. But who knows! We only see what we see. IMO, we need a noter big Commish to step up. 

 

Hope nothing bad happens. I can't stand the SHL and the gomhl is boring.

Yeah I wish the activity of the SHL met with the logic of other leagues.
