the worst idea you can think of will be better than anything the auto assign comes up with IMO

goddamnit! that means i gotta do more work.

told you the initial set up would cost you a chunk of a day. Then you can go through everything at your leisure and tweak it as you go. As long as you're checking in often enough to make sure your lines don't have holes in them from injury, a lot of this stuff is set-and-forget.

I find that like in racing, where yellows bring more yellows, in GHL injuries seem to bring injuries. When it rains it pours. Few guys get too much ice time because of a hole in the lineup, and next thing you know, they're hurt too.

does handedness factor into the game at all? like more chance of successful one timers if someone is playing their off wing???

I've played with that, I don't know for sure if it does or doesn't. It MAY depending on the strategy you use.

I think I'd just be trying to get my best guys the most ice time. The 4th line (for example) only gets 3-4 minutes unless they play special teams. Good place to stash a prospect hoping to sneak a little improvement through experience. Your top line will play 20 minutes or more, your top d-pair prolly 24-25 minutes, 2nd pair around 20, 3rd pair 12-13 or so.

drive-by...


Shamrocks off to a decent start.

Hornets looking like Rocky v Apollo.

Brain RULES.

sergei wouldn't come slumming with me, but as soon as someone else recruits him, he hops on board.  I plan to make his experience a miserable one.

Really hope the recruiting brain has done pays off.  Even 2-3 new peeps can spark a lot of life into the leagues.

DEATH TO THE ANGLERS!

Sergei!! Time to rock out with yer **** out, buddy! Rude welcoming in store for team Dickfur tonight.

Nice opening roster. There were some decent players in the free agency market. The next round of newbies won't be so lucky unless enough FAs get moved to where it reloads.

Just remember, Rocky Columbres welcums fresh meat.

just don't forget the curse of the Fresh Fish. New team pops up to replace an AI and hilarity ensues. Beginner's luck is real in GHL. I just hope he goes tooth and nail and re-breaks Columbres.

dood. That's just mean.

we MAY get as many as five more.  I dunno which league. We may get none.

welcome to life at the top. The guy on the pedestal makes a good target.

Time for me to check back out for a while.

Hoping I don't get too screwed over with the deuce draft.

Brain has been promoted to COO of both leagues.

Where the hell are you goin'?

I've been housesitting.  Took a laptop, but can't get access to the wireless.  That ends friday, then sunday i leave for vacation with my brother and his family.
