Subject: I.1

You need a good first period. I bet goalie confidence Fs you. You're the better team, but if you don't score in the first, all those shots and no goalies makes the next 2 periods that much harder.

I had 21 shots in the first period. Can’t get much better than that. Our goalies both let no goals in in the first. Why is mine always shitting the bed? same thing for game 1 of the first and second rounds. It can’t always go against me. That’s ridiculous.

18 shots, but ya. Just shit luck I think. You'll for sure win game 2. And I'll be even more exhausted for game 3. I still give you significant chance of winning.

For the record, I ran expert's estimate for 10cr, I had 52% win odds. I find that quite surprising - must be home ice.

Oh, you didn’t have to spend credits to do that. But yes, that is surprising. I don’t get that, given the shit differential.

My guys are pretty tired too though, and you get home ice if game 3 happens. I don’t think I’ll beat you.

I shouldn’t have prodded you into buying new players lol.

Honestly, had you not, I wouldn't have. I'd have gone with teenagers next season and likely finished in the 5-10 spot.

Ugh, I made next season harder for myself lol

If I wanted to make it really hard for you I'd have kept my best guys and added similar guys. I'll still be a weaker team, especially given my significant downgrade in goal.

On the other hand, what the heck was Reflex doing going VL in game 1 of the finals!?

I’m guessing you mean VL.

Maybe he did it so Nordiques would use energy, and he’s gonna try and win the last 2 since he didn’t have home ice in game 1

That's my guess also, but a very weird choice... If you need to win 1 away game anyway, might as well get 2 shots at it than just one.

Check your eyes again

That's a terrible strategy. If you throw game 1, you're now reliant on Game 2. Sure, you're at home. But if you win, you essentially have Game 1 part 2 in Game 3, so you've gained nothing. If your opponent plays VH, he'll be more tired than you, sure, but that's a 1% reduction and well within the noise of PPM results.

Do not search i did not have internet

Ouch, that hurts. Likely would have still won against me if you played VL!

Oh shit, here we go again. 10 min in, 2-0 you, shots 7:1. That's the start you needed, excessive goalie confidence shouldn't carry me today.

Edit 1: 2-0 after the first. Shots 12-3. Another goalie and a goalie change would have followed. I should have put my rookie goalie in net and played VL... let you burn energy

Edit 2: Second period done. Late goal by Mando made it 3-0. Shots 24:9. Down three I doubt a tactic change will make a difference. Golem given the rest of the night off.

Edit 3: Dropping to down three has me now at VL for the third. Quick 4th goal by Mando. Hoping that means he is still on VL and tapping that energy down just a bit further.

Edit 4: I think we definitely have a VH vs VL situation. Shots ended 45:13 with a 7-1 score. That's a 4-1 third with shots 21:4.

Looks like you broke your offensive slump Boba! A good start was all you needed! Now to regroup for game 3.

Finally! That’s all the goals they should have scored in the semi finals lol. Yeah, I should have dropped my importance if I was up after 2. Oh well, 1 period won’t affect things that much.
