Asunto: I.1

woo hoo! Back from my trip

By the way, the BEST player in HA: Jojo Ashby .
Thanks to Eeoulo for pointing him out to me.

He might be pretty good in PPM too!

I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one going nuts with the injuries. My former starting goalie has been out a combined 29 days this season..

I can only remember one injury to someone who wasn't in my starting lineup. Oddly, my 4th line seems to land the most people on the bench.

I just got back my last injured player (4th line center) today, so I'm bracing again haha. I'm one of only 2 active II.1 teams without an injured man now

yep - got a basic confirmation (no numbers or anything, of course) but they aren't going to change injuries any time soon.

Well, our history continues to be interesting. One of your goals (I think the 2nd) was disputed and was kicked in by one of your players. They ruled it unintentional.

Then one of my guys bowled over your keeper while you were on the PP and several fights ensued. LOL

Draw - 3-3.

WOW What a win by the Rage over my Vowelrifics today!! wtf 7-3, he played low I played normal?? That's one helluva victory. Now we'll slink off and lick our wounds.

He may have out-energied you in the 3rd period. 3-0 there.

That sounds right. Either way you shake it that was a solid win there. The 1 bright side is my PK lines performed exceptionally... the downside is that they had to play at all let alone so much.

On to other league issues, HUGE props to the Hellraisers for a big upset. That's an upset that has to have you especially pleased Soc!

I'll take the tie against you at this stage. And dude, don't hurt my goalie. My team is one of the worst in the league at that position. If you take him out I might as well play teams in the 3rd leagues.

With that said, I am very surprised I'm in the top-8 still. With a 115-115 gf/ga ratio, it's pretty crazy I'm still up there. Having a goalie on par with the rest of the top teams I think would push me up to the top 4 for sure.

Still, there are games to be played and I hope I don't get any injuries to key players, namely my starting goalie and Waldo Gould . The rest, I have half-decent backup players to put into the lineup. I will still be very happy with a first round date with Leggs.

LOL

Indeed, I meant PPM. But yeah, he's the best ever, no matter what platform or league. I hear he is pretty good at jai alai, having won a few amateur-level championships and placed well at the Barcelona Open.

it was curious that I (at home) ended up with 7 penalties to your 0 when we both played on low. You usually see that when one plays at a higher intensity.

That killed any chance I may have had to score in the 3rd, being short for 8 of the 20 minutes, even though we ended up even in goals on your PP.

Hehe was a good game Your PK was very good but I've been good on my team's energy so I can be good for the playoffs

I suspect that they are concerned that if injuries were totally independent, that a few unlucky teams would have 4 or 5 injuries and it would mess up several lines. With one injury at a time, you can perhaps make a couple of changes, or just ride out the one injury.

So perhaps they decide that you will get an injury, but if you already have an injury it won't be shown. Then once another injury heals, it shows up. It is sort of like only being able to serve two penalties at a time.

FYI:

Right on schedule -- 2nd line winger just got an 11-day injury, the day after my last man healed up.

*grumbles*
