I mean I’ve been simming like 10 seasons and I’ve only won 1 cup so What does that tell you?

It’s almost as if having the simmer offers no real benefit. Great movie though

Our shot totals were great pretty much every game but somehow @Tape-to-Tape just constantly shut us down, not much you can do about it. Shitty way to end a great series but GG Helsinki.

Will we get some eliminations today? Let's find out. Going live shortly.

Always great to win a few unofficial awards

shhhhhhh

This has often been the experience when too many GM's get in there. What's best for the league might not always be what's best or convenient for the team's of the league. A lot of times the two can be separated by most people but not always.

Not gonna win when you give them 9 powerplays

New day, new sims. Going live momentarily.

Didn’t say it did, just explaining the reasoning at the time.

The joys of being blue, being able to say things others can’t. Like snubbed. It’s the little things in life.

Was mostly the optics of the matter (ugh) given how few people were affected by it. It’s basically telling new guys “yeah, you need to hit 700 but this guy hit 400 10 years ago so he’s cool.” This change was made at a time with a lot of tension between the old crowd and the new guys so there was unfortunately a lot of thought given to how it would look to allow the old crowd to benefit off less TPE, even when it was more difficult to get back in the day.

We looked at all the players claiming Pension at the time. There was I believe 5 who previously qualified (and were actively claiming) that didn’t qualify under the new rules. All of which, I think, now do because they were close. Unfortunately we didn’t consider the old guys that had gone IA but there isn’t usually much consideration for players we don’t think are likely to come back. It’s just especially bad in this case because how how close Romanes was to the cutoff not one but twice.

When in doubt, write it out. Discussion is always interesting.

Shot total and score line really don't match up.

Much better game from our first line, and all our players managed to actually stay in the game, but unfortunately Drive shuts the door. We need to be better than this.

Really @Victor?

Sorry about the later sim guys but we are going live with the first full round now that the wildcard is finished up!

Could have at least pretended to put up a fight Prague...

Sim number 2 going live momentarily, link above.

I missed it by 0.12

*sigh* another bad year. Bonus point from running shit at least

We’ll see how it goes. I’m not looking at it as an end goal but as an experiment. Like you said, there’s some good stuff to come out of this discussion that frankly wouldn’t come up if we didn’t, in a way, force it to occur. I don’t think this is a fix for anything, I just think it’ll be interesting to see what can come from it. This isn’t some kind of war on convenience or anything, just hopefully a way to bring people out of their bubbles a little bit. I get the convenience aspect but am hoping to find a way to have that without the bonus of community fragmentation.

It was a long day.

Also one of you saying Vancouver is cursed? They won in S67. I’d hardly say 7 seasons is a curse. still, solid from the bit I listened to.
