@Jubo07 @McWolf Honestly I'm at work watching progress bars the next 2 hours if you guys are down to just do it now. Assuming Vegas doesn't win the next game anyway. I'll sim it soon.

Which is why I think you take the Shaw without a doubt. It's just tougher to compare for the Slobo because we need to compare goalie stats against forward and defence stats. Personally while I think your stats are good (especially compared to the other goalies) I don't think they hold up as well as Myself for goals, points, and hits or Arroyo for goals and points or Malenko for points as a D man. It's nothing personal, it's just a tough sell for the slobo. I think if the Shaw doesn't go your way people are crazy.

Honestly not wrong, we probably should move it but it’s always been in the off-season. It does only list regular season stats though.

Well the egg appears to be in my face.

Also this isn’t influencing for buddies at all. This is about having the award be voted on the proper basis. Playoffs aren’t that basis. It wasn’t an argument about Stopko’s stats vs. Anyone else’s. Just pointing out that this should only account for regular season play.

MVP and Slobo aren’t the same thing. I don’t think I’ll be getting MVP though i expect I’ll be up for it. I also never said you had a bad season or weren’t the best goalie option. You had a good year and should be the Shaw winner. But I think realistically when talking best stats of the season you wouldn’t be top IMO.

I can wait, I don’t mind. I waited an extra 4 hours yesterday to see if you’d put any in but you didn’t so I just simmed.

I mean no but I am advocating for myself.

That would require him to change his lines at some point in the series

This. Playoffs Stopko was unstoppable but regular season he was okay; same as every goalie. Not to sound Boubabi-ish but I don’t see how his numbers were better than mine. Or Malenko or Arroyo for that matter.

SUMMARY

You’re hired. If you have any questions let us know. @Devise ran things last time and can also likely advise. Thank you to everyone that applied.

Congrats Toronto. Very lacklustre final but ultimately Stopko proved his dominance in one hell of a playoff performance.

Great time to re-create I dare say...

SUMMARY

Honestly I don't think anyone is seriously saying it. It's basically the same as every other "rigged" comment that's ever been made which has been happening literally since season 1. I wouldn't take it personally (I know that's tough). It's like I said, if you were rigging it then you would actually be making it less obvious than this. The fact that STHS decided to make your goalie unstoppable is literally just the engine being the engine; it doesn't surprise me much.

I mean kinda? It has never happened before, we're in uncharted waters here haha

Stop finally plays like a human being but Helsinki can't capitalize on it.

@McWolf Heads up, you sent me lines with 1 too many players dressed so I can't use them. Normally I would go to your last used but given that it's the finals and you're down 2-0 I'll give you a chance to send me some new ones that work. I'll be simming in probably 6ish hours unless you send new ones and respond to this sooner. If I don't have new lines by then I'll use your old ones.

Honestly if @Devise was rigging it I have to believe it would actually look more realistic than it does if that makes any sense. Like, STHS being dumb and giving Toronto the win over Seattle in 6 makes more sense; Devise would have pushed it to 7 to not raise suspicions. Honestly he just has a hot as hell goalie that can’t be touched. Helsinki is having exactly the same problem we did, they just don’t have as strong an offence to deal with it.
