1. We just had a large expansion, it’s unlikely that there will be another one this quickly. 2. There is procedure to being hired as a GM, you don’t just request an expansion and be handed one. 3. Even if the above two points weren’t true no expansion will be called the Steelhawks when we already have a team called the Nighthawks.

Only 1 goal and a loss to Chicago; not the kind of sim I love.

1 assist in 2 games is not a great way to hold a lead for the Szat and Brooks; lucky for me that I'm still holding on and we shutout Helsinki so no goals for @Dil. Also GREAT sim for @okifenoki! Also Also, first team to hit 100 points!

I mean an extra 10 points would still put you 16 under me right now but that would definitely make the hits gap a tougher sell. Still, I’ve never led in hits and have won twice in a row so we shall see. I would like the trifecta.

I forgot to check the hits column yesterday. Still applies technically. Also if you could slow down on the points a bit that would be great. I don't want any Boulet competition

@Quik the first player to eclipse 300 hits this season and we've officially got 3 players over 100 points. Nice to see the races for the scoring titles are all still tight.

Apparently not haha. I guess it’s one of those things that unless you saw the announcement you wouldn’t really realize since they just stopped happening completely at one point but they do still exist, just no one ha been allowed to write one yet.

I mean no, it doesn’t. We still have to put the updates in but because of advances we made with the portal it’s a process that can be done daily in about 2 minutes. So technically it doesn’t t update itself but it’s way faster. Pretty sure you could before you left as well. I’ve always preferred it to the split cap but don’t think that was something I introduced as a blue. We just made it easier to hit with more options. I mean that still happens. @Bushito famously claimed for ages before he went inactive that he preferred forum updating. Very wrong of course but still. Anywho, welcome back, it’s been too long.

You underestimate how desperate we were because all you’ve known is a VHL where twice as many people want GM jobs as their are jobs. Forget every team hiring an AGM, we couldn’t even get enough people to want GM jobs. Hell Anderson was in charge of Cologne for a bit.

That has nothing to do with me. I just change it in the sims once @Josh confirms it’s good to go.

It’s 8/72. Although with more teams getting proper backups that could increase.

Didn’t even notice he went goalie. Guess he’ll have 1 season of earning on my next guy. I will see you on the battlefield @Jericho

aww, thanks bud

The prodigal son returns! I do wonder if you shouldn't have some carryover from your last guy. Or you could just be a first gen again if you want.

Just getting ahead for my final season. Mikko Lahtinen - Protect Scoring

Also @Da_Berr passed me for the Szat lead, this is unacceptable.

Definitely don't expect to get shut out when you outshoot your opponent 37-16. @Hooperorama with a great game. Much less great for him this time, our offence decided to wake up I see.

@GustavMattias @Jubis @Esso2264 Just so you guys know this trade wasn't in today's sims because it was happening more or less at the same time but I processed it so you can do your lines properly with it applied for tomorrow.

Yeah people were asking for this at the time but going through a full career cycle with them now I don’t care for it either. Makes me completely forget about them instead of likely forgetting about them. It wasn’t. Bios need to be done at the end of a career (as makes sense since why would you biography a rookie) and the S70 class is the first one with the new rules so no one has hit the new bio yet. It’s still there. Guidelines can be found here and if I recall (though I’d need to go digging) the TPE for it might carry over to full to have more effect. I know that was the intention but not sure it survived. I feel like I we were doing that, at least for awhile. Goalies have kinda always regulated themselves by the simple fact that the math doesn’t account for activity. Not all of those numbers remain active and even fewer remain active enough to be in a starting role. It’s possible that self regulation isn’t doing enough these days but it has always worked itself out.

And still worse than me.

First time in I think 20 games that we didn't get at least a point. Oh well, 1-1 is still fine, we're still in first, and I still had 3 points. Not much to complain about.

Was coming in here to see if anyone mentioned Serial. Season 3 was a bit meh (the idea was good, I just didn’t care for it) but the first two were great.

1 goal, 1 assist, and more importantly wins over Warsaw and Chicago. Nothing to complain about really. Would always love more points but I'll take wins over strong teams over points. Also @Sharkstrong has been terrifying since joining Prague...

Even if it is Davos it's always nice to see a dominant victory Can't say I would have expected NY to end our 11 game win streak...

God damn, someone on lab’s team definitely showed up to play.
