    It would be nice to have the Computer GMs actually offer something in a trade that matches your transfer needs. For instance: I only have prospects up as my trade needs but I keep getting offers for really old guys that have bad contracts and are declining faster than a plane in a nose dive. I’m asking for prospects to circumvent some cap issues but am getting offers that put me in the red further. This also makes those offers pointless.

    Gotta love when your team has a splendid home game where your team outshoots the opponent double what they did, you smash them into the boards with 12 more hits, have puck posession 55+% of the game (and 56% of it was in the offensive zone!), and the opposite team turns the puck over 19 times...only to find that you absolutely got wrecked on the scorecard! Entire team hands in Green/Blue performances and both goalies score below 47...the opponent only spent 20% of their puck possession in the offensive zone! :o

     

    I spoke with the Assistant afterwards and he only said that the team lost momentum due to Icing calls and that our Captains didn’t prepare our team well enough. Good thing that Home Ice advantage took both my goalies to the “next level”...

    To be thorough - checking off Buzzer Team Confidence:

     

    ### Confidence

     

    The confidence value is affected by in game results:

    how well your team is playing: we are in 2nd (with 23 games or so to go) - I’d say that’s at least Good

    adapting to your chosen tactics: Greens across the board

    and focuses but also on individual performances/mistakes: The team usually is in blue or green for individual performances - all contracts are “happy”.

     

    It might be a good idea to make sure that your style of play actual fits your player’s ratings: while it may be difficult to do in lower leagues, I’ve done my best to focus my players around the particular styles.

    Back to the drawing boards on this subject. I have not changed my tactics at all since the beginning of the season (for both Buzzer and Cage) but Buzzer’s Team Confidence seems to be going down in flames now.

     

    My 3rd place Cage Team is going Good in the Confidence department but my 2nd place Buzzer, IHL team has been strggling with confidence for the last few weeks. Ironically enough, my team has been utterly destroyed by injuries of late and I put at least one-two players on the IR a week. This week I once more have 2 on the IR along with my top defensemen going down for the rest of the season - would this impact my team’s confidence?

     

    Last point - the 1st place Team in my conference, in Buzzer, has Great confidence - what separates 1st at Great confidence, 2nd at Uncertain, and 3rd at Crisis?

     

    Do we have any insight on this @Anders & Tobias?

    Had a match a few days back where I outshot the opponent 41-18. Lost 4-5. I think the opposing team was using one of those equilibrium devices that totally jacked up both my goalies. Both played like trash.

    I have a few good GOT concepts brewing in my head. Can we add Team Names..and maybe change spelling on some?

     

    Spelling: Articwolves should be two words and spelled Arctic

     

    Team Name Ideas:

    Crow, Dire Wolves, White Wolves, Night Watch, Black Pandas, Panda Force, Fighting Pandas, Panda Ninjas

     

    Don’t want to infringe on any real Copyright here and I think Night Watch is pretty vague as you could have a mall cop mascot and it would totally change the meaning.

    Look good to me as well, not too many of those colour schemes around. Why North Haven?

    I guess a nod to Jon Snow / The Starks - during this process I changed the Black Flag to the Blackbirds (crow) but there were no real good looking crow mascots so I opted to keep the Black Flag. The Wolf is also associated with that but I would have loved to have named the team the Ghosts or Dire Wolves but Arctic Wolves is close enough ;)

     

    As a side note: Articwolves is misspelled and should be two words: Arctic Wolves ;)...good thing we survive with brawn, not brains up in the north - ha!

    Breaking News!

     

    “Welcome to Hockey Night here on channel 684, in Blakely. I’m your Host Billy-Bob Bobbs with co-anchor Tina Bertha. We have some breaking news coming from the Black Flag’s stadium “Pandamanium” - It looks like this season is starting out with a pre-season delay due to a beer shortage!”

     

    “This is a tragic scene Bobbs. Concessions stands are being raided and at least 5 servers walking the stairs have already died due to head trauma from ‘accidental falls’.”

     

    “It sure is Bertha, how are we supposed to watch a game without some ale?!”

     

    “Firefighters are on the scene fighting the blazes on the south end but we have seen some semis from Beerfilder heading North on I-75 towards the stadium.”

     

    “Hopefully we can get this delay worked out as there is only 1 ref still alive and we would love to see a game sometime tonight!”

     

    “You betcha Tina - let’s get those taps open! Have a great night everyone and remember, ‘when you need hockey news we’re the only ones in the 600s that’s still broadcasting at 3AM!’ Go get em Black Flag!”
