Go look at my first couple of seasons with Lahtinen and then look at what I’ve been doing since hitting Moscow. With a decent build and a good team success will come, just gotta keep working.

Honestly if you can even keep it close it should be yours. You’re in a similar position to where I was last season, near the top of the league and the best scorer on the team by a mile. I have a lot of guys pulling their weight this year so take me out of the equation and we’re less good but still very strong. Take you out and Vancouver has a lot less.

The sim gods heard you thinking you could beat me Also @Beaviss didn’t put new lines in so you were kinda just slapped in.

Ugh, I hate three way deals. Way more complicated to wrap my brain around in STHS. At least this one is mostly picks.

Yeah I was confused by that too. Why not wait until deadline?

The Boulet is the only award I’ve been able to win with consistency, you quit being mean to it Homesrly hits have never been a perfect metric but neither is anything else when we’re working with super limited stats. Hits are just the best option we have.

Not often I'm left scoreless but always good to beat Vancouver. @MexicanCow123 with a great game. Don't love that we gave them 6 Powerplays, got way outshot, and needed a shootout to win but at least it's a win still. 2 goals plus one in the shootout is always nice.

This is accurate

As far as I can remember they are actually a pretty new concept that came about during the dark ages when we started throwing TPE at activity issues out of desperation. We had various types of things before then like team PT’s and stuff but nothing has ever really stuck, mostly because coming up with ideas constantly is exhausting, especially when you need to make sure that it works for GFX as well. I also could 100% be remembering wrong, I’m ancient and frail.

FWIW in my experience in this league people often think their own reputation is worse than it is. There’s very little people can do to really damage it long term for most members. The odd person might hold a mistake over your head but most forgive pretty quickly. You said some things you shouldn’t have and we’re punished for it, that’s it, the end. There’s no reason to beat yourself up and think that people hold you at some lower status.

Team went 1-1 and I only had a couple of points, I’d love to. Everyone look the other way

1-1 sims, this is the way. Also NY on a 3 game win streak beating Vancouver, Seattle, and Helsinki? Hot damn, good sim for them.

I guess I wanted a break after yesterday

I mean I had 7 points in 2 games so I’m gonna like.... not

Of note @Jubis your lines worked fine.

You aren’t going to get any of them if you keep screaming about it

Boy I really wanted to be involved in everything didn't I?

Yup. Far too often the reaction is “how could X not get the job?!?!?” And all we can accurately say is “Y was better.” We aren’t trying to be assholes to X, they may have been great, but not the best optionz

Additional part of this to keep in mind, just because you aren’t the best candidate doesn’t automatically mean you were the worst candidate. Depending on the job sometimes we’ve got 20+ Applications for singular positions. Just because you don’t get the job doesn’t mean we don’t think you were qualified, just that someone else was more qualified. It’s not a slight, it’s just how things go.

I don’t check the email anymore but you can DM me the file just in case. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be working but I definitely haven’t gotten anything from you in a couple days which struck me as odd since you were changing them almost every day.

Thats a discussion for @Josh, not for me. Calgary lines have not been uploaded the last two days, I can only put in what I receive. If there’s a reason the portal isn’t seeing them that’s over my head.

I haven’t had any lines from Calgary in the past two days

Thank god our offence turned up because boy we allowed a lot of goals that sim.

I mean there’s no formal “ballot” for builders, we just pick one each season and have a yes / no vote but he’s someone that has been mentioned a few times as an option so it’s only a matter of time.

It is a pain I know at least.
