Congrats to Baden for knocking me off of my winning streak today! Methinks I will be turning up the forecheck in our rematch... grr

Well for certain I am enjoying winning 19 of my first 23 games in the BHL vs. losing 44 of the 60 games in the SHL
 
Is the disparity that bad? omg

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!

woot! made the playoffs
 
the relegation playoffs lol

aaaand taking the team off the market. All bids have been sub-par. I guess people will have to fight it out when I lose them to relegation. Good luck to all potential suitors!

Go Skyline!

Somehow we pulled it off... next round of the Playoffs! Now We have to face Mountain City Dragons! They don't have 1 player under 70! This could be bad lol ! I'm proud of my team and no matter what happens this season was a success! I would be stressing a little If I was Peter T.3 If somehow we manage to beat them all but 3 of their Roster would be cut because of 1W contracts!

lol Exxeo, I haven't gone anywhere. Maybe you mean my team?
 
... still learning the ropes in SHL. Looks like my team is going to be watered down a bit, with players on outgoing contracts averting their eyes when I enter the room. Also their agents won't return my calls.
 
But whatever. I've come to the conclusion that SHL is where you need to finally commit long-term to prospect development to get anywhere close to GHL. So looks like I'm on the long road. Oh well, time for heads-down management

Only 6 more games left. I have to win 5 to make .500
 
How the math works out, I'm not guaranteed to stay in SHL, but I'm fairly safe... *knocks on wood*
 
... but a little disappointed in the season anyway. The only teams I could compete with were the Computer managed ones. I guess I can feel better about keeping another SHL draft position, but it's a long wait for my prospects to mature. Maybe I'll compete for a GHL spot 4 seasons from now!
 
meh

agreed, when you go to "Team", "Roster", "Transfer", it would be nice to see the Salary of the "Assigned Players". It shouldn't be too hard for someone to quickly mentally translate their farm team salary into actual contract salary, but if it is needed, it could display their parent club salary. But it is a nice quick way to see who's contracts are up, etc.

The Coquitlam Tribune
 
Savage Storm upend Timberwolves 5-2
 
SLAUGHTERVILLE, OK. The Savage Storm handily beat the visiting team last night, and boy was it a rough one. Credited with 23 hits, the home team spanked the Coquitlam Timberwolves on the boards and in the corners, and skated away from most of the physical play initiated by the visitors. After the first period, the Storm took a one goal lead and ground out the last two periods to a 5-2 final score.
 
Storm defenseman Lucas Calello shared the team lead of 3 hits last night and pitched in with a helper. "It's nice to be able to contribute on the gamesheet, but I feel better about beating on those wimpy SHL wannabees." 
 
'Wolves backup goalie Joen Berg put on a brave face after the game, having let 5 out of 35 shots get by him. "Coach let me know with 10 minutes to go that I'd be playing, and I guess I just couldn't find my angles in time." Shortly after the buzzer sounded, Berg's twitter account listed a post that read, "Hey @BergerFries -- I found you this protractor goo.gl/ZzHVZs. Luv Mum."
 
While the Coquitlam coach was quick to get on the bus to their next game at Pinehurst -- a 1,200 mile trip -- their assistant manager, Notta H. Uman, was happy to comment on the game. "The team had some tactical difficulties offensively against our opponent's defence. The opponent's defense and goalie was superior to our team's goal scoring in today's game. The opponent's defense was superior to our team's offense in today's game. The body checking of our opponent's offense was superior to our team's defense in today's game." The guy did not shut up. "At least the team did very well tactically during powerplay against our opponent's penalty killing." Also, the Wolves did not score one powerplay goal.
 
The Storm's coach liked their compete level. "I think that we..." The rest of his statement was boring and had five spelling errors.
 
The Timberwolves play the Razorbacks at 12am tonight. Maybe we'll think about broadcasting it.

Talk talk talk
 
Please ????

Well, S20 is done for the Wolves. Our first season in the SHL and we finished 9th, which was pretty respectable.
 
Highest rank during the season was 6th, and we held that for longer than we probably should have -- kept it while we had a 5-game losing streak!
 
Going into the season, I signed a big-name goalie and he finished 4th in the league... actually the guy probably kept us in it longer than we deserved. Now that we've lost him to $$, we're turning to our #2 goalie for S21. No idea how we'll survive.
 
If it turns out that S21 puts us into relegation, I'm still happy with where the team is at: most of my contracts have no one-way clauses, the roster age is quite young, and I've been able to draft in the SHL position in the S19 and S20 seasons... it puts my team into a great location to ride the SHL/BHL line for a while.
 
Extra bonus: I got to trade blows with Slaughterville! It was good while it lasted

Well we survived first round playoffs beating Wildcats 2 straight ( we shouldn't have to play 3rd game ) one step closer to promotion   

But your season ticket holders would be pissed if they missed out on a playoff game! And think of all of that beer waiting to be sold at your arena!
 
Gotta keep your fans and shareholders happy

GregJ Sounds promising lol

Thanks GregJ Good luck yerself.... I see you had a solid season.... Am I Correct that there are no Playoffs for you but you will stay in SHL? Maybe there will be a day That the Skyline play the TimberWolves for Gold Cup! ya never know lol. Looking at the History of My Team...we spent a lot of Seasons in SHL..... Should be back there in 25th season ....maybe lol

Looks like there may be a few computer SHL teams heading for the BHL... ripe for aspiring GMs that want to make the hop...
