Subject: II.1

Hey Tujague! Nice to see a friendly face.

It sucks, I finally get an individual strength of over 100 (103 goaltending) and I'm tied for 14th in the league in team strength. I feel like I'll be revisiting division III next season...

Just a friendly reminder, especially U18/U20 national teams, please post any players you have that are good, and please post them often, as that is how they are updated. Thank you!

Season just getting started, will be interesting to see which kind of hurts this league will bring compared to the level below. For now the goal is to stay in the league, but surviving through demotion playoffs seems like a necessity...

Hah. LardAss sucks. I scored a goal

Everyone we need help in building a good U-18 team please upload all your good 15 to 18 year old players to the USA database. Thanks. usa-db.powerplay.nixiweb....

Hang on now didn't you score goals on other teams before?... eh or actually you didn't :o
Don't that mean that you Bombsville suck more?

There's not a doubt in my mind that my team sucks I just didn't think I'd score until I played the dead team. Or the Crash Test Dummies.

But we already have a goal. So now I'm wondering who I'm going to score an even strength goal against first.

Smartass, I heard that!

You got lucky, DA. I was going to play you on VH just to embarrass you by scoring my first ES goal, but I somehow potted 3 goals today, including 2 at even strength. With nothing else to prove this season, I guess I'll let you beat me 0-10 instead

After some absolutely brutal, rebuild ruining CL drops this season...

Line 1:
LW, C, RW & RD2 all dropped to 5/6 at 16yo
Line 2:
LD & RD dropped to 5/6 at 16yo
Line 3:
LW, C, RW, LD & RD dropped to 5/6 at 16yo
Line 4:
C & RW dropped to 5/6 at 16yo
The C is now 17yo.

...I got stupid and spent 32M on yet another center (Branislav Čajko ). Six of those players above who dropped to 5/6 at 16yo were center prospects. SIX! The new guy has a 92.75 EQ. So he should be a good one if his CL holds up. It has too, right? Law of averages and all that.

And now I have no money, honey.

That is pretty brutal. On the bright side they won't drop next season.

There might be a bit of a silver lining. canucks357 said that play7ers who drop to 5/6 at 16yo are guaranteed to stay there for the full FOUR seasons. That will certainly lessen the blow if true. And I have no reason to doubt him.

In some other somewhat good news, I'm no longer in last place. Huzzah

Sweet. I made it to round 4 in the NC. I don't think I'll be finishing in 9th again this season=)

I haven't even won a game this season and I'm moving on to round 4. Sorry to rain on your parade, but apparently that doesn't mean much this time around. I honestly hope you get paired with one of the defunct teams just to see how far you can really make it.

Looks like you're right. phareaux is going to stomp me into the ground just like everyone in the league has been

But I did add another young center to replace the many who were spoiled. I'm a bit worried because I didn't scout him before bidding. Hopefully the previous owner was telling the truth=)
