Who was it in this thread who was hyping the shit out of Ho-Sang, again?

It was Dopey, said he could have been #1 overall.

Corsi isn't a possession stat, its a shot differential stat.

You can take shots without ever having possession. (Carrying the puck)

Holy fuck I already wanna quit be a GM mode because of the shitty line up editing. Keeps putting a forward on D and a dman on the top 6. Jesus fuck.

I just gave up. This whole player morale shit is unbearable. Only simmed 3 weeks and spent an hour on it because have to deal with player morale crap where everyone is a whiner and the shitty assistant coach line changes because of injuries. Its beyond fucked up. Never touching this mode again.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Speaking of GM modes...

I wonder if EHM will do a big update for the start of the NHL season?

I think FHM will be rolling out another edition soon too.

Why did they add that Player Morale feature anyway? It sounds like a dumb thing to put in a game

 

[Cake Boss]

This is how this morale thing goes.

Morale is down for player 1

Player: I feel bad because were losing
Me: play better and we will win.
Player: that was hurtful, my morale is now down again.

Which brings his overall down and now he sucks even more and plays shittier and loses more and morale keeps going down lol.

And endless stupid ass cycle of shittery.

@StapeNewsday: #Isles GM Garth Snow not mincing words about Josh Ho-Sang, telling Newsday: "Enough with the bull----. It's time to grow up."

I will probably be on again tonight if you want to play. I played with Montressor last night. We lost almost every game but it was fun.

Not sure what I'm more surprised about: Ho-Sang being so irresponsible that Snow had to be so blunt with his criticism, or Snow's response in general.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Not sure what I'm more shocked at: Ho-Sang being insanely irresponsible, or how direct Snow was in his criticism.

Lou 2.0

I will say I didn't expect much out of Snow and in the beginning it seemed the Milbury curse would continue. However, they're one of the youngest teams out there with a franchise player and TONS of good prospects.

The response could be a last straw from things we don't even know about as well like with Kadri getting suspended last year for things Shanahan didn't want to divulge.

 

[Wingfan19]

Helm out 2-4 weeks with a grade 1 separated shoulder. Good job rookie.

The circumstances around Snow's hiring was just really bizarre that it seemed like the Islanders were in for another massive screw-up.

But the Isles went through some shit before it got better, and ownership had faith in Snow through it all, and their faith has been rewarded.

The response could be a last straw from things we don't even know about as well like with Kadri getting suspended last year for things Shanahan didn't want to divulge.

True. I figured there might've been some issues between Ho-Sang and the Islanders prior that may have prompted Snow to throw that comment out there.

Did Kadri actually have a bad reputation in Junior? I always felt like the Toronto media's just been on his ass for no legitimate reason, and his team suspension last year just gave them more ammo.

Now with Kessel gone, I'm concerned that Kadri is the new scapegoat.

 

[Kave_Man]

Scapegoat #1 for the media is Babcock when all of a sudden this team isn't playoff calibre.

"But he was supposed to fix all of this"

Heck I've already heard Simmons already put out his first article blasting Babcock.

The main stories this year from the media will be Babcock not making this team better and then demands that Nylander/Marner/etc be brought up so we can see what we have.

Morale Up!

 

[Kave_Man]

Someone let me know when Hope Smoke gets healthy again and starts transcribing interviews.

I don't care much for his opinion on anything I've learned.

 

[Red_Man]

So Therrien confirmed that Eller is playing left wing to start the season. On one hand, he's look really good with AGally & Semin, and is exactly what that line needs. On the other hand, how the fuck is DD going to hand the tough match ups? And if he keeps Patches with DD, I will go and take a shit on his desk.

Doesn't that sound like what's happening? Pleckanec would handle the tough match ups?

 

[Red_Man]

He's playing with Gallagher and Fleischman right now, not really a line to handle toughs, not to mention Pleks had his best season offensively in 5 years last season because Eller had begun to take more of the tough zone starts. Moving him away from center is stupid, he's too valuable defensively.

How the heck are these lines going to work? I feel there's going to be a trade early this season.

Babcock will definitely be the big scapegoat, but Kadri will probably fall into the same hole.

I heard on another forum that the leafs lunch crew are angling Kadri as the next scapegoat.

Ok sounds good. I have some homework and studying to do but could probably be good to go around 830/9 central.

You guys remember how I said I had mixed feelings about the Gulls jerseys? Well, after seeing the really fucking horrible jerseys poor Texas Stars fans/players will have to wear until who knows when I've decided to replace my previous statement with the following:

God bless the San Diego Gulls and their magnificent jerseys.

These? They're not bad at all. The AHL logo needs to be placed somewhere else though.

 

[Pikma]

Oh god my eyes, the white one is just hideous

Jerseys with drawstring collars are getting overplayed, but still, not bad. The empty spot where the NHL logo would be is especially glaring to me.

I'm guessing they're gonna put advertising as well.

Hit of the day: Kevin Klein takes out Richard Nejezchleb so hard into boards that Nej's nameplate is now affixed to the glass!

Steve Zipay ‏@stevezipay 3h 3 hours ago
And the letters are jumbled...

Jim Cerny ‏@JimCerny 3h 3 hours ago
No exaggeration...it is still stuck on the glass!

Optimus Klein already putting in work.


Sounds from AV like the top 3 on-ice test results went to Rick Nash (second year in a row he's ranked near the top), Dominic Moore, and Brady Skjei. Interesting.

I think it's right where it belongs.
