REAL TIME HOCKEY (FULL) Topic

Based on stats posted on quanthockey.com. Between 1969-70 and 2013-14, the average league SH% was 11.20. From 1983-84 to 2013-14 (when the league started keeping the stat), the average SA% was about .88.

I'm hoping to put together a league that best represents what are considered the stars in the NHL and some of our favourite players that rarely get used in the SIM. Well, who hasn't tried a league like that?

Based on the average SH% from 69-70 to 13-14 and based on the average SA% between 83-84 and 13-14, the following rules apply:

1. Choose an exclusive franchise between 1969-70 to Present
2. Draft any player that played for that franchise, twisting allowed - see below twist rules
3. Here's the kicker - your team's average SH% must be 11.20 or lower. Not each player, but the entire team as a whole
4. Each goalie must have a SA% of .88 or lower (if your franchise does not have enough goalies that adhere to this rule, sitemail me)
5. $125M Cap
6. No trades
7. No ML
8. No Inj
9. No Clones
10. SCRUBS - must be 165,000 and will not count against the 11.20 team SH%

I'll jump in with Montreal and St. Louis Kite! Just let me know when you get a league number.

Welcome. And thanks. I may have to a league number up to get this kickstarted. I'm hoping more owners are doing research before they sign up. I think this will be a cool league.

I have been threatened with bodily harm if I do not allow Gollum to have the St. Louis franchise. Rather than risk embarrassment by getting my butt kicked by a senior Saphead, I will begrudgingly relinquish St. Louis and take Chicago. So it is Chicago and Montreal for me.

if it's one thing we do not want in SIM hockey it's definitely bodily harm. thus, i will oblige your request.
3/6/2014 3:24 PM
Well, since Chuck took Chicago, I'll go with option 2, Quebec/Colorado.
3/6/2014 4:19 PM
Amazing how my age and status gets results (along with threatened exclusion from the Sapheads).  LOL  Thanks Chuck.  Let's see, that knocks the "you owe me" list down to under a dozen.  keep up the good work!    You can erase the "?" after my name, Ben.
3/6/2014 9:13 PM
I'll take a Millenium combo team.
3/6/2014 10:38 PM
thanks, gents!
