Expansion Team Fumbles

The Mexico City Kings were riding high at the end of their inaugural season. All prepped up for a showdown with the Saskatoon Wild. Somehow or someway the General Manager for the Kings fumbles the ball and doesn't get the lines into the simmers in time. So what do the simmers do? They just run it. Maybe they didn't look but it is hard to believe that they didn't know that the Mexico City Kings were running odd lines and to make it worse they took out their Star Goaltender for Mexi-G?? F'ing Mexi-G and the simmers just laugh at the screw up instead of trying to protect their league in a way that is beneficial for the minor league players and organization. I know if I was a simmer and seen some mistake like that I would have to hold up the process and notify GMs or HO in some way or another. No way in the world am I going to sim a game with the Computer Goalie for any team no matter what the rules state. One would think that the league would want to protect this sort of blunder.

 

Of course some would think or say that a team could come back from down 0-2 but we all know that after being down 0-2 it is virtually over. I certainly understand win at all costs but do you really want to win a game or series like that!? It turns out that Fate or SimonT got revenge for the Kings as the Wild met their demise against the Philadelphia Reapers. The Grim Reaper certainly showed up on their doorstep and took his pound of flesh for such an erroneous action.

 

Now the Kings look toward the draft as they are about to be dismantled from the upcoming VHL Draft. Many players seem to want to stay go to Esso's team the New York Americans. Didn't Esso set up the Ottawa Lynx? Anyways, the point is it appears that many players want to go to rebuild the Americans with Esso leading the way! Derek England could care less who he plays for in retrospect. He certainly is pissed off about the fumble in the first round of the playoffs by the Kings but nothing can be done at this time. Of course he is a professional and will play for the Kings if need be. If he has to go right to the VHL and play in his second season he would do that as well. A mention of him going to Moscow peeked his interest as that would bring him back to his homeland, Mother Russia. However it does appear that the team is in a rebuild state as well. Either way, England stays low key and tries to earn as much as TPE as possible as he moves on in his young career. It appears that the offseason is a gold mine to earn extra TPE. England will be gaining 17 TPE from that one opportunity. The max was 20 so only missing 3 isn't too bad. Hopefully he can earn some extra cash and TPE along the way before the next season starts.
