Congrats! You've done an amazing job!

You're doing fine so far and you surely have a good chance of survival. Balanced team, lots of experience in it and a great winner instinct.

I don't think it needs rephrasing or indeed exacerbating. I am making no accusations. I only think that it's about time for the game to have a detailed and working guide so that all users - and especially new users - can have a chance to understand how the game works much earlier and in a fair way.

The problem is not that some aspects of the game remain "mysterious", it's that members of the inner circle have access to this kind of information and use it for their own profit. Perhaps all this could and should be solved with a detailed explanatory guide to the game that would be available to all users and in which more or less all keys to the game should be - in a way or another - accessible.

Many thanks!

These, for example, in Fishbowl: http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=46027 http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=45951 And these in Clapper: http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=58140 http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=58097 For some reason those drafted in the 3rd round do not present problems.

In both Clapper and Fishbowl, whenever I go to the Bio page of the 18 year-old players I drafted, the page does not load, it just enters a loading loop that never ends. Surely, a bug.

Most likely a system error. It happened to me before. Sometimes if you add to your shortlist players, they do not get added to the back of your list but to the top. And if you do not check your draft preferences, you may have this surprise.

Thanks for your effort. As usual this is very nice and your effort is much appreciated. We are indeed curious about your predictions now!

Congratulations on the Cup! It was well-deserved, although I had hopes I could sneak a win in Game 3. However I think I lost it in Game 1. Good luck next season, let's hope it will spectacular for all of us! This is a great game.

You suggested that of the last one, too, and you had a pretty decent one. I think you'll do fine again.

Congratulations to the Wild Wings! Exciting final and they came on top.

Excellent job again! Although I don't understand why my goalie average is just 86. Can you explain? (Because I obviously use Dixon as my nr 1 and Croke as nr 2)

Thnaks! You also did well and have a team capable of winning the Cup very soon.

Many thanks! It was a great season for me. After 16 seasons in the game - and coming up from the IHL - this is very rewarding.

Welcome, Kim! you will certainly be a powerful opponent.

Thanks for the effort! Much appreciated!

Excellent news! Thanks, Anders!

Welcome to Clapper! I also think you inherit a good team with a lot of excellent prospects, but also with chances to fight right now for the Cup!

Good question. I think he was in Fishbowl at some point (or was that Zhou I given that he goes by Zhou II?) Personally I don't think users should be allowed to get straight to GHL, no matter how much experience they have. They should start like everybody else in the lower levels. I am also surprised about your team not performing so far. I have also had a slow start, but - as you say - there is still a lot left. Who knows, may be you are trying to get the 1st pick.

Many thanks for the effort, Peter! Hope it will be an interesting season!

Four key players from my team got injured in the same game. Somehow I won the game 2-1, but what happened there? What were they playing? It's gonna be tough now for a while till they get back.

I don't rate pre-season games too seriously. But I hope you are right, of course...

You both look improved for the new season. It's gonna be interesting, I just hope I can find a way to stay away from danger.

I personally think that nothing should be untouchable. Even more, I think players should be affected (get angry, for example) when the team refuses to trade them away, it would make the game more complex and interesting. At the limit there should be an untradeable option in their contracts IF they ask for it. As for your own case, you should deal with it with patience or get the right price for the pick (you are not assured of getting the 1st pick, you might end up with the 4th!). It is pretty normal that users should offer a trade, but you do have the liberty to ignore them. On the other hand I do think that draft picks of computer teams shouldn't be tradeable. A GHL player in Clapper (a veteran one) just served himself to the 1st drafts picks of both SHL teams that will get promoted in a blatant abuse of the system. There should be ways to prevent that.
