Halifax and not winning the Founder’s Cup?

Just so you’re aware, I’m gonna pull the extra 1 TPE you got from “carryover”. That isn’t supposed to hit until you hot 50 TPE but we need to get the code fixed up to reflect that. (Eh @Will)

What a goalie battle!

You can just go ahead and lose the next two if you’d like then.

Certainly more of how we’d expect at least.

Statement is that no matter how much I score in the playoffs STHS still hates me.

I never said you had to be happy because it wasn’t more. I’m saying that it definitely could have been more based if the discussion and goal we had in mind. If you disagree with that goal that’s fine but that won’t change it. Never in 65 seasons has the VHL ever been intended as a 4 line league, that’s just a fact and we aren’t intending on changing that league structure. So why then should the VHLM not run the same way? I’m not even desperately aiming for that, I’m aiming to have teams with room enough to keep recruiting. Fact is recruitment had to stop at the end of the season because they ran out of room to put players; ask @Beaviss yourself. I simmed the VHLM, I saw how full teams were. It’s possible if positions worked out perfectly that teams might have had room for a couple of players each but that would be it. There’s simply not enough room for sustainability where we were. This should give us enough that we can hold for a bit and calm down with all the expansion which personally I would love. I’ve got enough to deal with during the seasons and off-seasons without having to worry about finding logos (and paying for them) then figuring out expansion rules and having double the drafts. You can think I’m lying all you want but this is not the easy way out, this is far more work and I have made it clear that there will be far more pushback against trying to expand any further in either league for at least the next few seasons until we can figure out how sustainable our growth will be. I don’t want to do this every season any more than you do. Now, you can believe that or not, I don’t really care. I’m not arguing in circles with you about every decision that gets made. You say it’s impossible to change an opinion here but you offer no real evidence to support your side; you just disagree and then act as if I’m the one being unreasonable.

We didn’t do it because it’s easier. Trust me, rules are easier (and cheaper) than buying logos and finding GM’s. The reason we did 3 teams is simple: the VHL isn’t a 4 line league. We’d rather new players not get accustomed to that kind of experience and then be confused when the VHL doesn’t offer it. Like I said, this should keep us in a sweet spot for awhile without needing to get any larger and without having our teams filled to the brim. You can disagree but that doesn’t change that it’s happening. There were arguments made for adding 4 teams so it could have been more.

Hopefully going big this time does stop us having to keep doing this for a bit. Even with the additional teams we had last season all the rosters were still full or very close to it which is a problem for the VHLM because new recruits then have nowhere to go. This should alleviate that pressure for a little bit and slow the ride of expanding.

At least you managed to win the game. Imagine chasing a starter in under 10 shots and then losing because the CPU is on roids and stops 41 straight.

Oof the other way. These are gonna be some interesting Semi’s.

Oof

Okay I’m used to getting fucked by a hot goalie but getting fucked by a hot CPU goalie? That’s some STHS bullshit.

Hat Trick and a win. I’ll take that start to the series!

Yeah, gonna be hard to win when you're averaging 9.5 Penalties a game.

That's only the Wildcard. Semi's and Finals are both best of 7.

Exact same amount of shots but Penalty Kill and goaltending made a big difference here.
