Subject: National team Q&A

The Strippers get their guy in the Line Up. A real tough guy to kick some arses. Nick Baldry Will help toughen up the team.

In the nets.... ok Tierney is obvious and Ludlam, cuz i am a Ludlum fan.

A kid line, yes, it's what I wanted forever. 4th line will probably have 18-19 year olds

I don't know where you are in your life, but right now I could do without a line of kids.

On that note... some comics!!!:

A 9 month old at home so i try to get as much OT as I can. My son really stinks!!!

Take after his father? Or is that coming from the mother's side? My Dad always says I came from high-quality sperm and a defective egg haha.

LOL. I like that first comic there Nucks. The second one is not as much.

As for the OT, I don't blame you. I'd have a lot of business meetings at the local pub if I were you.

I honestly forgot to split goalie duties

Mhmmmmmmm. Jokes. Nice win amigo! I want to see you in action against a Top division nation now. See if you can pull some magic there.

Crazy what a goalie can do when he likes the coach...

Here are my top-3 at every position:

In the Nets:
1-Tierney
2-Ludlum
3-Martindale

LW:
1-Fortin
2-Bent
3-Lukic

C:
1-Beliveau
2-McKenzie
3-Fotiadis


RW:
1-Marker
2-Grayson
3-Whitton

RD:
1-Dale Holsworth
2-Nick Baldry
3-Bobby Horsfield

LD:
Newsome
Cox
Dubois


Even though this list does not match the line up I chose in-game. I would still not change my in-game line-up.

1) Why do some of the guys have really low EXP?
2) Where are our tough guys. We have no power fowards (Todd Bertuzzi) and no tough dman (Chris Pronger). Is this a Canadian team or what??? We cannot matchup skillwise with the top team, they have way too many players. So why do we try and play like them. Let's be different.
3) Tierney will hit 100 exp very soon.
4) I never get any love. "Strippers owe it all to Tierney." "You played vs a weaker intl team." W.
5) John Stevenson or Irvin Lukic Should be on the team as PWR forwards.
6) Please dump Martin O'Brien.

Here is a reminder of who we are: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B...

HHHHHHHA that feels better

Haha. I love you ideas and enthusiasm. But I still don't think the game engine will work like in real life. Power Forward = Penalties according to the programming. That being said, you are right. We can't try and play like the more skilled teams. Alas, we have to approach things differently, since we can't rely on hitting tactics like season's past.

PWR/FWD John Stevenson TC/AGR 100/125 has 4 PIM this season.
Tough Dman Nick Baldry TC/AGR 106/141 has 12 PIM this season.

I am building Stevenson to a 125/150 TC/AGR.
I will increase Baldrys TC to 110.

I am not saying these guys should be playing but we should give it a shot.

Alot of players have way more penalties then these guys As you can see, my 3rd line (national team last game) was a heavy hitting with high agr players. I would like to see that 3rd line as a 2nd line as a test.

Plus I really like my 4th line which I call my kid line. Marker could play on a higher line.
