    Ahhh Baff55fuck no! Quit when you're playing shitty, not now haha, you're playing very well. What about Plablegssssssssssss league? But.......I do understand it. I'm guessing too much time spent searching for coaches had something to do with it too. Please elaborate further as to why the loss of interest? It would be nice to know what drove you away. Although I think I'm on the right track.

    As a side note, I like Calgary. But uncertain if Plablegs will start up sometime soon and/or the date of the next GDL. I ain't playing in more than 1 league at a time, yet alone possibly 3.

  9. Infamous "Long Stick"

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    Don't forget about:

    - long/short wind-ups (Plab knows who has em and who doesn't)

    - heavy sticks (Kamensky), hard to explain other than it feels like he's carrying a steel beam

    - short sticks (most of the 6/4/4 lefties aside from Sakic and Sanderson)

    Last but not least, what I call, the "choke bug". It occurs with average or accurate shooters, and it's when your goalie is out of the net, and the other guy gets a one-timer that goes into the stands. This rarely happens when the goalie is in the net. The choke bug doesn't seem to correlate with shooters who have crappy accuracy anyway, like Hawerchuk, Svodboda, because they shoot into the stands no matter where the goalie is.

    You are one of the sources for the problem, rarely seen you online since the league started. Maybe just don't join instead?

    I got about 20 games in early in the season while you were MIA and had zero GP. Then I went weeks of not finding the hard to find coaches. It's a domino effect, some people don't see others on often so they don't log on themselves as much. Lots of guys waiting till around the time of the checkpoint either because of procrastination or because they know that's when they'll likely find the others. If there were a new league with different rules, I'd be out of GDL in a heartbeat. It's become annoying, too much of a chore IMO. So, yes, I think it does need to just die. I think the system is flawed. I'm allowed an opinion. By the way, you'll get your games w/me, don't worry.

    I actually feel bad for Brutus. He put in so much time and work into the draft. Only to have to replace multiple guys and still be on the lookout for more replacements with so many others not getting their games. I could totally see why he isn't interested in commish'ing another GDL for a while.

  16. GDL Records

    I noticed I don't come close to contending for any of these records because I score a lot of points with my defensemen.

    You're a regular in the running for the most potent balanced offense awards though. Almost took home the platinum medal recently!

    Don't forget the............awards for the most potent balanced offense. Of course I made this category up, but it is worth mentioning. For those who have great offensive seasons and spread it out very evenly. These are medals awarded to any coaches who had all 3 of their starting forwards in the top 20 in scoring (silver), or top 15 in scoring (gold) (via points per game). If anyone gets all 3 of their forwards in the top 10, they'll have obtained an elusive "platinum" medal, with all 3 fwds making the top ten in points per game? Plab came really close in GDL 14...

    -GDL 15, Uncle Seth and Icestorm both attained gold, accomplishing it with the trios of Sanderson-Reichel-Bellows & Klima-Hogue-Damphousse respectively.

    -GDL 14, Plabax took gold level with Oates-Bradley-Ysebart, Seth got silver with Gartner-Juneau-Murphy.

    -GDL 13, Plabax took silver with Laffy-Lindros-Jagr

    -GDL 12, Raph took gold with Dino-Bellows-Messier, Seth got silver with Klima-Kristich-Reichel

    -GDL 11, no medals awarded

    Easier to remember if it were the same 2 days each week. This way, it lends itself to becoming habit and people would be less likely forget what the specific days we're on each week. Never forget the golden acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

    I'm not complaining about not having enough time to complete games. I could bang out the majority of my remaining games in less than a week. But then I'd still be waiting weeks for those other slackers who are either never on, or rarely on. Some that do randomly pop on do so for 2 games then they're gone for another 2 weeks. I'd be in the same boat. It gets old after a while. And don't think for a minute that I'm the only one who feels this way. Just one of the few willing to stick my neck out there and b***h about it publicly. Can't help blowing off some steam over it. I understand the backlash of others who are sick of reading my complaints.

    ^ yeah what happens if guys are slacking? How do you get to 56 if you can't play every team because of slackers?

    Nothing happens. They're allowed back season after season, to perpetually bone those who are active. DNP's, draft penalties, not deterrents. Some guys I know I'll get my games in with. Several others, who knows. I've honestly lost interest after 2 weeks of searching and wasting my time. I needed a break to try to get interested again in GDL.

    This league should have way fewer coaches. Better yet, keep the same numbers, have 1 draft, but create 2 separate divisions. Let all the huckle buckle beanstalk slackers and the historically active coaches each have their own division where they only play one other.

    Same thing for playoffs. Have 2 champions. Let the hide n seekers drag their s**t out as long as they want with no deadlines or checkpoints. We need segregation.
