    11 games in and the SHL is neck and neck. The point separation and even goal differential similarities are striking. It will be interesting to see what this looks like at round 30.

    Ahh, I see. Just to make sure… It says the youth draft is the next in line for simulation but it also shows that the guys I've drafted previously are still on my team. Is it just showing a schedule?

    EXXEO got a reaction from Walter A. Donaldson in Teamwork & Winner instinct   
    Well we had a five game winning streak, lost a game and then lost in a shootout earlier today. I went back to see how the team was looking and now the Confidence is OK, the Teamwork is Good, and the Winner Instinct is back to OK (and in the blue again). I'm really confused. Also, the Confidence bar is at like 90% Green but we're just Ok in that department while the Teamwork is near 75% and Good...and how do I lose Winner Instinct???

    To add on to above:
     
    Dynamic is good for high skilled defenders that can do it all as well as two way. Think the elite defensemen in the modern game. This set up is basically giving them the green light to do whatever they think is best at any time.
     
    I would use match line if your team plays a specific style a la very physical and aggressive, strong puck play, what have you and you have the defenders to match that style or alternately you have high skilled do everything defenders and you want them to match the play of the forward line they are playing with.

    EXXEO got a reaction from Pingu in Shitty Draft Class S26   
    This is all intended Guys. The original idea was not to have the average GHL team filled with 92 OVR players. Development was cranked back a touch a few seasons ago so now we are just starting to see the results of that. It's an equal playing field in the end...and then maybe we can finally get the average down near 85 rather than having 8 Crosbys twirling around out there...

    YES, we did it! I'm shocked we made it because all the odds were against us. Going into the last match we were tied in points but we're sitting in 10th due to point differential. We had to win and also have Lake St. Louis either lose or go into extra time. On top of that, I made a crazy big trade before the game leaving me with a new goalie. For whatever dumb reason I decided it would be a good idea to start the new guy. He got owned in the first period and after my veteran replaced him, after 9 shots against, it wasn't looking good. All other games against the Wild Wings resulted in losses for us this season, and by good margins - we were not favored to win at all....but in the end we score a season high 7 points to win...and Haradrim's TopCats got forced into OT. What a crazy end to the season. Now it's time to prepare for getting spanked in round 1 of the playoffs!
