I don't think any are as extreme as checking since you only have so many opportunities to hit a player. Scoring sometimes can be a tricky one depending on attributes, but just thinking back to Moscow from S80-84, I've seen elite forwards play well together. Godlander and Kotkakoivu on PRG this season are also doing well together. I think there are a lot of factors at play as to who will "lead" a team in any one category, but generally you'll find the people who have the most TPE invested into certain attributes will find themselves performing better in those aspects than those with less invested.

Congrats

So looking at CGY's lines, AirRig plays with Phil Strasmore, who is even more physical than AirRig. You can see the same issue with Max Torq over in Malmo (and I've chatted with @Steve about this as well in his case), where when a physical defenseman plays with another more physical defenseman, there are simply less hits to go around. Add in that you likely play a large amount of minutes with Daniel Janser who leads CGY in hits, there just aren't chances for you to hit someone. By the time your team doesn't have possession anymore, either Janser or Strasmore has already gone to lay the body on them.

Ok Cam Newton

Yeah 5 finals have been "sacrificed" already, Simon deserves nothing else other than a foot in the ass.

Simon can go fuck himself.

We had so much potential

First of all, and totally unrelated to the podcast - a massive to @Arce and @Beketov for putting me through hours of panic and stress over my PC. I talk about some M things. I talk about some E things. More road related discussion than usual. Stream American Music Award-winning album Impera by Ghost!

Well back claims still get a line drawn at a season ago, so you couldn't really reach that far for stuff anyways

I THINK

Yes . We'll see what sort of timeline it'd be with the portal folks. I'd say it's a GM responsibility but I recognize that even I've forgotten about my prospect bonuses in recent season. So maybe adjusting the default min to 1.5 instead of 1 would make more sense. @Dil

I'm like 68% sure that you can claim responses as tasks if they meet the task requirement, might just need Blue approval first

In the future, please bring up questions like this regarding the cap to me or a Blue. Prospect contracts don't pop up in the finance tool when adjusting contracts, but this isn't allowed and should be brought up to the relevant folks. I wouldn't have seen this if Boom hadn't tagged me.

I'll mail you some fuzzy socks instead, does that work?

Group is complete @BarzalGoat Good luck to all

@dogwoodmaple is skipped. Considering he made up his pick quickly after the last one, I'll give him some leeway here. Next skip will be a DQ F - Vasile Lamb @Otaznik

Tbh I've felt that we'd have a down season every season since S80, it just never comes. Maybe we aren't as dominant in the EU but somehow we find our game for the playoffs and make a respectable run. We'll see how it shapes out, but you're right in that it'll depend heavily on our second unit and if they can hold their own for a full season.

Amazing writeup, and I'm thrilled to have won the awards that I did! Hoping for another fantastic season with a great group of people, this time finishing the season as cup winners
