Asunto: I.1

Wow. USA I.1 is a four-horse race! 90s, 90s, 90s, 90s, 60s, 60s, etc.

I'm looking forward to 4v5 in Canada I.1. Both have won the league and playoff title and both were top-3 after playoffs last year.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy - 5th through 9th weren't decided till the last game of the season. If I won, I'd have been 5th, but I lost, so 9th.

It's too bad I had to have a camp running since I'll be AFK during the usual time after the playoffs.

We all know Psychos is the team to beat though. They play ALL regular season games on Low so they got energy to spare. Had I not missed the team lineup changes 3 times this season I would have had a really good chance to win the league. I'm definitely going for it next season. Screw the playoffs.

I feel bad that i beat you Jojo. I would rather see a new champion...

Hey, wait a minute.......if I didn't know better, I would assume you guys are singling me out. But since I know this league is pretty amicable I won't let it hurt my feelings. You guys are all getting better, the race is a lotcloser than one would think. My team is aging quickly and soon I will be scrambling for position. Now Psychos has really done a great job of managing his team. He has a great mix of experience and really good youngsters filling in behind them. He will dominate soon and that makes us all try to manage our teams to climb to his level. After Psychos, this league will begin to tighten up more each year. There are some stupendous players around the league. Just as an example, look at the goalies from Stl. And Boilermakers. They are going to be superstars in this league and having a great goalie is the first step to success. Hang in there, the competition will come! Good luck to all in the playoffs and don't forget when I finished first in the league and got swept in the first round by the 8th seed. More of those things will happen as your teams mature. Just my 2 or cents.

I'm pretty much going to have to save money for a few years to start a rebuild once I am finished with my important facilities in one or two seasons. Even though I've had decent luck with player pulls (relative to my sports academy), they won't have the advantage of a good training facility soon enough. When I get around to it, I think I will try save to put together 2 new lines of top tier players, once every 4 seasons. In the intermediate run, I suppose I could take a page out of the Mobile Rain playbook and stock up on talented and reasonably priced UFA's.

You're right, the league is getting better and making the game more fun. I'm not gonna lie, this is the season I enjoyed the most. I'd say, any team between 1-14 can take points off the top teams. Maybe a little luck, maybe an injured key player, but they will take points off. I mean, top 3 teams had 6 regulation losses this season.

As for the Playoffs, I'm not really banking on that this season. My players are too tired. But I know next season will be fun too and I'm definitely going for the regular season title

The loss to you was not the only reason I came in second. There are a couple of other games that I did not change from the friendly lineups. I actually have to remember to set up my team for Monday games. LOL. Those are my worst.

Invested 38M into 15 year old Goalie. His main Q's are all over 94.

He looks like a good investment. Good CL and decent OR.

Yeah. There is a similar player on the market right now. Also 6/6, OR is just maybe 20-30 more and the current bid is 100M. But he is not goalie. I thought goalies are more valuable. So i think i got a good deal. Can you believe, i had to set up alarm to 5:AM, wake up and win the bidding war for him.

Well, I came back to see if I could even remember how to build a team again. It'll be a very, very long time before I see any of you in I.1 again, but hopefully it'll be fun!

Glad to see you back again.

This is embarrassing. I lost my first line center and second best player, Phil Fryzel , because I thought I had extended him when I hadn't. I can't believe I let this happen.

You didnt have auto contract renewal option or they were RFA?
