Asunto: US National Team

Oh Ok

guess that's it this season

that was a schlacking... they played very low and beat us on very high? Hmmm..... Bad karma

Ouch are we actually going to get relegated?

Unfortunatley, yes it is possible. Barring an OT win by france and a US win by 4 or more goals

Our team sucks so much You can make it

We need new blood as GM.

I don't know that that's necessarily the problem, though it could be. It may be that this new season brought huge energy losses that we haven't seen in the past, but that is just conjecture by me.

my guys were all around 85 energy going in so about the same as the past few years. just didn't pan out I guess.

It seems that our lowest energy players were our Defensemen. I think that Taloncarde did a great job he just had some bad brakes with the game.

I don't know what anyone else could have done to win that taloncarde didn't (except that first loss due to low importance..) One thing that jumps out at me is the huge difference in penalties compared to opponents. Is it the US training tends to suck in comparrison?

That or it might be since we are playing so desperate? High intensity might be leading to some of it, but our tech isn't too terrible overall. Regardless we will keep adding new blood, we have some talented players I chose not to put in the WCH because they had 0 or very low chem, so hopefully we'll keep adding talented players and working them into full time rotation

As for the 1st game, that was a risk I made trying to conserve a little energy early for the 2nd round, guess I was thinking too far ahead. It seems like we tend to crash in the "playoff" round so i was hoping to same some of our energy for it, so yes, that was my bad.

Outsider, the new blood idea is your opinion, nothing wrong with that, but i don't see a lot of people running either, me and 3 others so far. If you want to throw your hat in the ring, i think there is still time, I won't care if someone else wins the GM role, i'll still do my part to help them etc, if that's what it takes to win

I don't want you to feel that I'm against you, but i think our National Team should have better results.

Of course, we all want to win. I'm just saying, if you think we need new blood than run, or invite someone whom you believe would do better to run.

I would like to try to get elected for GM roll but i know it wont happen because usually more popular teams get that roll.
