You need to give this a rest. Enough people wanted to give Bulls/Lanky a chance to continue on with the national team. When you write like this on the forums you are coming across as sore losers. If the USA managers see that there is an issue with the national team and want change then they will vote in another manager team. So you can either fire shots through out the season, keep quiet, or support the NT team through discussion and when needed criticism. That is your choice. But the first option will affect your support when you run for manager next season as quite a few of us are not into the drama.

Well I just wrote an 300 word essay, but than it clicked away ( fuc* ) But to make this short now, ur right I should let it go becuase nothing is going to change now.

Remarkably unfair statement man. Bulls has said before that he actually tries to have a good balance of players from a bunch of different teams.

I think if you actually looked at it, there's only a maximum of 2 natl. players from any one team, so the favoritism that you suggest is just not there.

What are you talking about, "pull Thomas?" Where has that been said anywhere?

The roster is not finalized yet. Just wait until bulls actually releases the final, initial roster for this season before complaining about players that should or shouldn't be on the team.

In many cases, you're probably arguing against nothing and no one.

Please. Last season he didn't call up any of my players to the NT when 2-3 were deserving a spot. Funny that he called up my first player right at the end of season when he needed votes.

Well, Bulls said that the last time he checked I had on player on the roster. ( which is Thomas) And I said that it would not be a smart idea to pull Thomas of the team. But whatever, Im getting tired of this, and in a way ur right because I am arguing against my self a bit. Good luck in the NT season, its cold and cruel, so you better watch out for yourself.

If I had to guess, he probably didn't call your player because he wasn't going to play him anyways. Why call someone who isn't good enough to be in the starting lineup?

At the end of the season, we'd already missed the playoffs, so he was calling other guys to get them some chemistry/exp.

You made me laugh here. So we should have on the national team 10-15 players. No point to have the others? Yet we had a player on our team with OR 220 something.

cold and cruel eh? if you say so man. I've found that with the exception of a very small minority of people, most managers understand reason when you explain some of your natl. team strategy.

The others (the ones who don't), I'm not really worried about. I'm just here to have fun and try win some matches. It's a game after all.

glad I could make you smile.

Cold and cruel, cause Bulls wont let you do anything. ( I should probably tell Tesco to delete this before Bulls gets here ) And I did have fun with the NT, sort of. But I think we should give Outsider an oppurtunity to show his abillities also.

Rofl, he has already done more in a week than u did in the entire season...

I suggest that from here on out that there are no more insults or I will ask for that managers posting abilities be revoked for awhile.

Skimming through the goaltenders uploaded to the database, Fugate looks like a candidate to be a future starter for the team (though I don't have most of these players scouted to see their builds and qualities). Wally Martinez and Lloyd Russ are the other two good goaltenders relative to their age, though they will have weaker facilities to train with. Lloyd Russ does have better CL, though it's hard to say that it will continue to be better over the long run (and whether it is a matter of rounding difference). Jack and Baumgartner both have good OR, AVQ, CL (in Jack's case), and chemistry. Again, I don't have these particular players scouted.

I guess there is a problem with weighing the performance of this year's team against future teams, especially since there aren't too many exhibition games, but hopefully one of those 3 (if not someone else) can start to be prepared to take over in the future.
