Uhm, raise your hand if you are still here!  It seems that our league has almost vanished with few active managers and virtually no cross talk or anything for the past two months.  I know there might be some "meh" feeling until the new launch, but just curious.  Also, saw some surprising roster changes from typically very active managers.  

 

Also, let's not forget to congratulate Jusu of the Richford Rebels as Season 16 champs!  Quite the upset!

With only 7 games remaining (21 max points), thought it'd be fun to track teams chances going forward.  I don't have one of those fancy simulators to give % chances (feel free to add below if you do), but will at least highlight key games and when teams either clinch or get eliminated.  

 

1.  Protons (103 pts) - Have clinched a playoff spot for the 132nd straight year.  

2.  Vandals (102) - Are in.

3.  Pegasus (102) - Are in.

4.  Rebels (100) - Are in.

14-16, Breakouts (59), Indians (59), and Tomahawks (55) are eliminated from Top 8 but neck and neck in the battle to avoid automatic relegation.

 

Key Matchup tonight:

 

Stray Cats (78, 9th) vs Sabrecats (77, 10th).  A win by either could catapult them into 7th place.

 

 

Maybe this has been known for awhile, but first time I noticed it.  

 

Last night my starter gets pulled after letting in 4 goals in 29 mins.  My backup plays 31 mins and saves 100% of shots, yet he gets the L when I lose 4-3?!?  Now my stats show Birch as 3-0 and Jarvenpaa as 0-1 which should read 3-1 and 0-0, no?

Just noticed that those of us that have been in since the beginning and/or have a lot of playoff games are surpassing 1,000 games played! Hard to believe but shows the staying power of this game since each match is no more than once a day!?!? What have I been doing with my life?!?! Haha.

Anyone figure out ways to improve nervous players? Somehow I have amassed a team over time that is all bed wetters. Is it best to try and keep them apart as linemates or group them together to try and limit the fear?!? "Not in the face!"
