Post game wrap up of Minnedosa Musketeers 5-3 win over the Deferiet Leopards!

Cold night in the great white north but a great matchup between two bitter rivals. Minnedosa had dropped all of their last 4 meetings last season and are looking to prove themselves in this game! If they want to do so they will have to beat new signing Štulreiter in goal.

The opening faceoff is won by Colombo and the game is underway. 30 seconds in, a faceoff to the right of Štulreiter and Hudspeth wins the draw back to Taushev. He quickly puts it across to the other circle where Camarillo wrists it on target and Hudspeth gets in front and tips it short side on Štulreiter. What a nightmare start for him! 1 shot and 1 goal and the home team is up by 1. The next 4 minutes was all Minnedosa with Štulreiter getting into the game making 3 top saves, finally Deferiet gets on the counter and forces Friis to make his first save, which he coughs up a rebound but Mays gets infront of Tornqvist’s shot to block it. It bounces out to the blueline where Fiala picks it up for Minnedosa without a defender in sight… he is off to the races and the Musketeers leading scorer makes no mistake with a little move to the right and lifting it top corner over Štulreiter. No chance for the keeper 2-0. This is where the game began getting a little rough, Hocevar getting an elbow high on Strba, then Camarillo taking a stupid slashing penalty to even it up half way through the penalty. Of the ensuing faceoff 4 on 4 Overall won the faceoff vs Mulvihill and Taushev picked it up behind the net knocking it around the boards and into the neutral zone picked up by Gobern. He brought the puck in and plays it towards the goal where Overall has set up shot and bangs it in for a solid 3-0 lead! You can hear coach Paul giving his guys an earful on the bench after that horrid defending. After 3 more Minnedosa penalties in the period finally the breakthrough for Leopards. With mere seconds left in the 4th PP attempt of the period Kizek lays a bit hit on Tornqvist in the defensive zone but then loses the puck on a poor cross ice pass to Bob Homes who lasers it past Friis to get the visitors on the board which is where the period ends.

2nd period starts uneventfull until Stalder lands a 2 handed slash on Hudspeth breaking his stick and the get another penalty making it 5 on 3 for Minnedosa for a whole minute. They managed to only generate 2 shots and at the end of the powerplay Hudspeth runs through the keeper out of frustration drawing a penalty of his own and a crowd of Leopards around him. Minnedosa would pay for that sloppiness as Overall pushes too far forward looking for a shorthanded goal and gets taken out hard by Tornqvist who turns it up ice quickly. Tornquvist and Sayansky plays a give and go fooling the defense and puts it cross ice to Mulvihill who fires it under the glove making it a 1 goal game. Two minutes later Minnedosa gives up the lead, Štulreiter making a big save off Gobern and choosing to play it out to Yurevich who carries it up the ice and into the offensive zone. He drops it to Washam who puts a solid shot low saved off the pads by Friis but it lands on De-Boer’s stick and puts it into the open side quick and clean. Of the ensuing faceoff though, Straba wins the draw back to Compos who puts it forward for Lopes. Lopes holds off a check and throws it to the net where Brennan Slade gets a stick on it, putting it off of the chest of Štulreiter on the deflection but burying his own rebound underneath and renewing the lead. That would be the end of Štulreiter’s night, the coach seeing enough and bringing Zhutov in.

In the 3rd Deferiet wanted to get on the front foot and level early, unfortunately while Lehoullier was carrying the puck in the neutral zone he took big open ice hit from Camarillo and turned it over to Fiala. He passed it to Camarillo again heading over the line and circled behind the net. Kizek pinched in from the point and got the pass to lift it over Zhutov from the top of the circle. Off the restart Taushnev leaves his feet and labels Stewart in the neutral zone but there is no call. Stalder too offense to this and after a stoppage speared Taushev right in the gut. Minnedosa players charged in and there was a scrum, the ref mananged to pull Stalder off to the box but Pell and Mays got into it. The two big men laid a few big hits but in the end Mays landed a big blow and took Pell to the ice. Nothing eventful came from the powerplay and the game ended as it stood there 5-3 and a big win for Minnedosa.

Minnedosa had a bit more possession 53-47 but the shots were fairly equal 31-26. The Leopards special teams were on tonight, going 2/7 on the PP and 5/5 on the PK. Minnedosa’s biggest advantage was their faceoffs, winning 63% of the draws which helped contribute to their possession numbers. All 3 stars were Musketeers, Fiala the first with one goal and assist and a solid +3. Camarillo picks up 2nd star with 2 assists +3 and 3 hits. Taushnev got the nod for 3rd star with 2 assists, 2 hits and 2 blocks.

For if you prefer to look yourself

Post game wrap up of Tullahoma Tomcats 3-2 overtime win over the Plastic Attack from Pittsboro.

The first period got under way with a flurry and the Plastic Attack come on fast and hard with a quick rip from the top of the circle by Sahlberg. If not for a quick glove by Kivinen the game could well have had its first goal right off the hop. The action turned end to end with chances at both ends until Hutchinson caught Lehtonen in the hand as he was driving to the net. After a bit of shoving Hutchinson gets dragged to the box for the first powerplay of the night. Not even 30 seconds in Kovar ties up Hutka in the faceoff circle to the right of Kivinen and Germain pinches in to one time it across the slot where Sahlberg makes no mistake this time and it is quickly 1-0 for Pittsboro as coach Wendel throws his hands in the air at the obvious blunder. The period continued with Pittsboro dominating, outshooting Tomcats 14-7 in the first frame but only having one goal to show for it!

Sahlberg, who had 5 shots in the first frame; doubled the lead early in the second. Off the opening faceoff Kovar wins it back to Casey Modest who threads a cross ice pass to a sprinting Sahlberg making a slick move to the backhand and lifting it over Kivinen. 2-0 and cruising at home but all that was about to change not even 2 minutes later, while under pressure in the zone Mikus tries to carry the puck along the boards and gets levelled by Sparks. The Pittsboro fans were looking at the referee to put his arm up but play continued with Loignon grabbing the puck and banking it off the boards back to Sparks breaking away with Hutka 2 on 1. Sparks fakes then lifts the pass over the defender and Hutka slides it under Teixeira to quickly make it a 1 goal game again which seemed to even up the momentum. The game was back and forth again with very few stoppages. 17 minutes in the Tomcats levelled it! Faceoff to the left of Teixeira won cleanly by Alexandrov and picked up by Macri pushing it in the corner and chased down by Bastarache who played it back to the point where Rehberg lets a laser of a one timer go handcuffing Teixeira on the blocker side and sending the one Tomcat fan in the crowd into hysterics!

Third period started the same as the rest, Plastic Attack taking to the offensive and keeping the pressure on. There were no goals in this period but there were some tense moments and the game was beginning to get a bit more physical. Goddard on the fore check knocking Hutchinson off the puck and creating a quick chance that Teixeira saves quickly and comfortably. The regulation ends 2-2 and we are headed to OT shots heavily favoring Pittsboro 41-27.

We would have a winner in OT, but it might not be the team you think. Against the run of play Teixeira holds on to a shot from Iriekpen for a faceoff deep in the Plastic Attack’s zone. Plastic Attack sends out Kovar who has been excellent on the draw tonight but loses to Alexandrov on this one. Lappi pinches in from the point and wires one off the post and in. The visitors steal a game that some would argue could have gone the other way. You would wonder why Kivinen wouldn’t get a star with 42 of 44 stops on the night for a .955 save percentage! In the end Lappi gets first star for a solid defensive game and the game winning goal not to mention a +2 on the night. 2nd Star goes to Sahlberg who led plastic attack with 10 shots that game and 2 beautiful goals. Kovar rounds out the stars with his 2 assists and 67% from the faceoff dot.

Will will head over to Minnedosa in a few moments to wrap up the 1st game between Minnedosa and Defeiret shortly....

Personally, I haven't given much thought to reputation when drafting.

Mostly I pay attention to how players have progressed in their past season(s), as well as their performance and stats. There are sometimes prospects that look lucrative on draft day because of overall etc, but might have very slow development, and in the worst case never be ready for a roster spot.

Just to comment on this point here - multiple teams working together for the benefit of a single team is not fair competition, separate managers or not. If there is a closer bond between managers, like family, it can't be a factor in trades.

While probably everyone agrees helping out family members is a great thing, in competitive online sports manager games that help should be limited to giving advice etc. instead of direct aid, for example biased trades.

tldr: For reasons of fairness towards other managers, "family" is not a valid reason to base transactions on in a game such as this.
