  1. Can me and skool switch teams?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    First off id like to state why would you even leave this situation up to debate when you shoot down my objection with quote "dont tell me this cant be done." If your going to shoot people down like that, instad of saying contact you on AIM or whatever, why dont you just put a big middle finger up there instead? it would make more sense in my opinion.

    Second of all, skool has his team and you have yours, this isnt some contest to say "oh dude, you suck right now, i cant believe your record sucks so much, let me show how its done so i can make you look like a dumb ass." you may not be saying this directly, but its my interpretation of the whole situation. Based on my interpretation, i should take over some other team that is doing poorly that i think should be doing well and just trade my team. No matter what you tell me, that isnt hockey, you dont see coaches switching teams mid season to take the challenge of a team that looks good on paper but sucks on ice. The day that happens, the day i will consider being ok with something like this.

    Thirdly, i dont know what hockey you watch, but there are outrageous blowouts, you dont see it as much now and days since the game is lower scoring, but look back 15 years ago when 5 expansion teams joined the league in 3 years, there were blowouts every night because the talent base of the teams on the top level and those at the bottom were vastly different. Thats the way this league is, we have people of all levels of talents and thus there will be blowouts. Im tired of this sugar coated world you want to live in where people rarely get blown out so we can save some egos and people can sleep easier at night. People are going to get blown out, its a fact of life, if you dont think so go look at the scores, theres your facts right in your face. If you want parody, go make your own league so you can have your perfect world, take the league for what it is and accept it, if you dont want to, leave, no one is forcing you to play.

    Fourthly, regarding mid season take overs. These are completly different situations, we arent like a minor league hockey system where if a team loses its players or cant pay its expenses, the arena locks them out, etc. where we will fold teams. It is a commonly accepted practice to allow coaches outside the league to take over vaccancies that have been created by people who have left the league or been kicked out. There is no precdent for switching teams mid-season and im not willing to sit here and let one be made because gr81 wnats to prove some theory of his right. If you want to prove your theory right then just play some exhibitions, you have your own team and thats the one you drafted, live with it.

    Finally, i would like to say that skool did just fine with his team in the preseason, he is just in a little tough stretch that if he continues to work at it, im sure he will be able to get out of it and start finding some success. If he is allowed to trade teams with gr81 and then continues to struggle then what happens? does he trade yet again? this could just turn into one slippery slope if this is allowed to happen.

  10. Buffalo Sabres Season Outlook

    in Game Recaps

    Posted

    Despite being an expansion team in season 2 of the draft league, the Buffalo Sabres are expecting big things to happen this season at the old Auditoriuom. Buffalo fans can expect to see a lot of goals as the Sabres will do everything they can to light the lamp en route to the Stanley Cup with goal scoring sensation Tomas Sandstrom leading the attack up front. He will be slapping home passes all season long off the stick of Sergei "Big Mak" Makarov and the gritty Terry Yake. Don Sweeney leads the defensive corpse for the Sabres that will be augmented by Sergei Bautin and Mark Howe. Manning the nets for the boys in blue will be human sieve, Tim Chevrolet.

    Forwards- With a goal scorer like Sandstrom, the Sabres dont lack a supreme weapon of mass destruction, but things get pretty thin after that with Terry Yake and Sergei Makarov trying to add secondary goal scoring. If Big Mak and Yake can provide some pop, the Sabres will extremely dangerous to deal with. Brian Bellows is ready to hope over the boards at a moments notice to take his turns firing at net as well is vetern Ray "chicken parm" Ferraro.

    Defense- Don Sweeney looks to have a boffo type season by sending shockwaves through the league with his massive body checks and offensive abilities from the back line. If any of Sergei Bautin, Mark Howe, or Roger Johansson can contribute with solid defensive performances, Sweeney will be allowed more leeway to attack the offensive zone.

    Goalies- Tim Chevrolet is already on thin ice in Buffalo, he has been issued a minor league number by manager Juice Maker and has been nothing but shaky so far in the preseason. Stephane Fiset is a young up and coming goaltender who could see some valuable minutes in the season when Chevrolet fails.

    Manager- Juice Maker is coming into the league looking for redemption after being unceremoniously booted from San Jose after losing the cup finals. He is a man on a mission, but with a far less superior team than the one he guided last season, his patience with this team will be the determianing factor between success and utter failure.

    Season Outlook- Look for the Sabres to contend for the top spot in the Northeast division, but could be an early round casualty in the playoffs if this team is unable to find consistency.

  13. Division Alignment

    in General Discussion

    In response to Scribe's post the West is a strong conference. The 4 playoff teams are Tor, LA, Chi, and Det.

    Skool was the 7th seed in the west which is a strong showing considering the depth in that conference last season

    Carse took florida to the 6th seed in the original rom last season and that warrents some respect.

    We also have some young up and comers in Ana and Van with Dal being a seasoned veteran in the original rom.

    Hopefully that addresses your concerns about equality in the conferences.

    Also note, that these placements arent final, D will make the final call.

  14. Division Alignment

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Late night while most of you guys were sleeping me D and discussed the whole schedule/alignment thing and we came up with a solution.

    What we will have is 2 conferences with 2 divisions each. This means there will be 4 divisions with 6 teams in it. The schedule will have a team playing its 5 division opponents 4 times and the rest of the teams in the league 2 times for a total of 56 games, which is just the same amount as last season.

    The top 8 teams from each conference will qualify to the playoffs at the end of the season.

    Last night I made up some divisions that are trying to be as even as possible and i sent them to D, he will look over what i proposed and make the neccessary tweaks if need be.

    Here are the proposed divisions

    Eastern Conference:

    Atlantic Division:

    New York Rangers

    Pittsburgh

    New York Islanders

    Hartford

    Washington

    Tampa Bay

    Northeast Division:

    Buffalo

    Montreal

    Boston

    Ottawa

    Quebec

    New Jeresey

    Western Conference:

    Central Division:

    Chicago

    Detroit

    Florida

    Dallas

    Calgary

    Edmonton

    Pacific Division:

    Toronto

    St. Louis

    Anahiem

    Los Angeles

    Vancouver

    San Jose

    Again this is a proposed alignment but it should give you a fair estimate of where you will likely end up this season.
