A First-Third Recap

[jacobcarson877 2,563]

The Calgary Wranglers have been doing pretty well. Worse than we expected, but about as well as everyone else expected. STHS has us 5th on the power rankings, maintaining that position from the last time around. We’ve been flying on offence recently, but definitely letting in a few too many goals in the process. As we continue to train we should see less pucks hitting the back of our net. We have been beating the teams we need to beat, and losing to the teams that it makes sense to lose to, but we will need to learn to beat the top teams in order to achieve our championship goals. We have a tough stretch of games ahead of us, facing a lot of other hopeful contenders over the stretch. A lot of great teams on paper have gotten off to sub-par starts so far this season, and we have to watch out that we don’t spark their return to form. With almost everyone on the team now firing on all cylinders we just need to maintain our form and watch the points rack up.

 

The Marlins are hard to judge at this point. Going into their 11th and final game against Miami today, and having only played 3 teams so far this season, sitting in 4th in the conference is a good place to be after 20 games. We are just below .500 and are sitting at a not-so-great -11 goal differential. There is definitely a lot to like though, including having some success as of late against the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces. We start playing our 4th – 9th teams starting in a few days, and I assume other teams will also be having this happen, so we should begin to see how the teams actually fall. It will really be a battle in our Western Conference to make the playoffs, as there are 5 teams all deserving of a spot. With Mississauga dropping their first 20 games the East should be all but set, at least team-wise. We have been rather on-and-off as a team, either having dominant performances or really having nothing to show on any given night. As we continue to get a trickle of new waiver players into the lineup, we will look to reduce the amount of time bots are playing, and hopefully have a bit more consistency from game-to-game.

 

It has definitely begun to feel as though the weeks are getting longer. I mean I haven’t had to do a Media Spot in 4 weeks or something but man it feels like so much time between submitting tasks. I’m doing less week to week as well, at least when it comes to submitting manually. The perks of job pay are great, but also there is much less driving pressure to create and engage with the forum. I now spend my days responding to posts about the VHLE and VHLM and putting my 2 cents out whenever I feel like it (which really depends on how bored I am, which is a lot more now than before).

Nice succinct recaps on the performances of the teams in question. Part of me thinks that the VHLM is maybe the most interesting league in which to be a general manager, since there's so much roster turnover, plus signing the late draft eligibles and shunting Bots out of the lineup. I'm not really sure where I was going with that thought, but I didn't notice any glaring typos or grammar issues, so I'm gonna give it a 10/10.
