a. Los Angeles has been riding their top players for almost a full minute more of ice time than Hamilton has theirs. If you were a coach, do you buy into this strategy? Do you let your top guys leave it all out there every night or aim for the most balanced attack possible?

Yeah, in the few times I've messed around in FHM, I try to give the top two forward lines and the top defense lines extra minutes. I'd rather have them out there, and as long as they have a lot of stamina they should be able to handle it. I can't speak to how effective it is, but it seems like a good way to run things.

Well it happened. A general strike by the goalie union led to a mass retirement of goalies and now ALL of them have either quit the site (based) or recreated as a skater. HO has implemented a bot goalie system, but decided goalies were too underpowered and gave the goalies 20 in every stat, even the mental ones we can't upgrade. How does the season play out now that goalies are gods (godbots?) among men. Does anything really change?

The first goalie goal is thought to be an issue in FHM. Goalies haven't really even had shots before - there isn't even a shots category in FHM for goalie shots. But then, in the next day's sim, a goalie scores three goals. After that, it's a massacre. Goalie PIMs go through the roof. No goalie finishes a game with under 10 PIMs. All file workers are sure that injuries are turned off, but players are dropping like flies in the sim. The goalies are smashing them beyond playing conditions if they so much as look at the crease. In fact, a forward even gets maimed at the hash marks. We've flipped from goalies not mattering to goalies running the entire game. Fantasy drafts have changed so that you draft four goalies, one forward, and one defender. There's only two people in each fantasy group. It's absolute insanity. But, Edmonton won a cup so I guess it's all good.

If you're in another sim league and are using 4 of those CW tasks here, you can do this task to advertise that league in your CW. What league is it? Is it fun? How does it work? What are the pros/cons of that league, especially in comparison to the SHL?

I used this week's PT from PBE - Pro Baseball Experience. I'm entering my 2nd season there, but it's a blast. I love the sim engine - all I want from sim engines are little dudes running around and that's exactly what PBE has. Amazing and spectacular. I love PBE most though for how easy TPE gaining is. I've done everything for SHL - I keep the tabs open for anything that's due soon, I use asron bot to check if I've updated, and I just started using bbjygm's insane bot that lets you know if you haven't done a PT yet. It saved me from forgetting IIHF predictions. But really, I don't know if I would need any of those if we had the tpe-pt-updates channel that PBE does. It lists every PT opportunity with a link, and states when it's due. Incredibly helpful and I love it so so much every league needs that. Also I like PBE forum's games a lot. I can see them going awry here, but I still think they could be fun.

Back in my day when the Simulation Hockey League was first starting which was about 63 something years ago but that might be wrong because I do not count no good now a days since the accident back in ‘43 which makes it rough to remember if we used to smoke on the ice because that sort of thing could be normal back then which would be super rough on the memory. But I do think I remember ol billy bob banjo cracking out the banjo during intermission that one time way back when things were still back on the old sim format you know how it was with the things and the doohickies and the whatchamacallits and he would crack out that banjo, good ol billy bob banjo, and play it way old and good back in my day I tell you what kids these days d not know just how good they have it you know what I am saying?

I think the most difficult thing you could do to make someone like Leviadan’s life more difficult after they have made the grave mistake of becoming the Point Task Director is to constantly bitch and moan and whine about all the ways things could be better without actually doing anything to make them better yourself and make sure you complain as much as possible on public forums like the Thunderdome just to especially whip everyone up into a frenzy to make complaining the standard until it fills into the responses for the prompts like a negative feedback loop because that would just be crazy and no one would ever do that huh

Unfortunately I do not think that because the Los Angeles Panthers made the finals for the first time in forever and a new team in the finals was a nice thing to see but it was also probably the first time that has happened since maybe the Edmonton Blizzard made the finals which was such a long time ago. Parity is anything but solved and is going to continue to be a brutal thing for all people involved because we have not been able to figure out how to forget the situation of Hamilton and somehow it is not their fault entirely not at all. Parity is being worked on by the Head Office and I am extremely thankful for the work they do but I feel it will continue to be an uphill battle until somehow we can find a systematic change that makes people value the fun of the entire league instead of their own personal stat padding like the selfish people they are

In the millions upon millions of years that existed prior to the Simulation Hockey League, there once was a long and storied history of the DHL, the Dinosaurs Hockey League. This was a fantastical and ridiculous set of leagues that featured dinosaurs on ice skates in the incredible supercontinent Pangea, where dinosaurs of all eras somehow played together. There were spinosauruses that played net and blocked with their gigantic back fan while the brontosauruses would use their long necks to try and get around the opposing dinosaurs. After that there were monstrous Tyrannosaurus Rex players that would stomp on their competition and scream until they got their way, so things haven’t changed much there. This League was truly a fantastic place to watch until they all ended up realizing there was a single best way to play the game and that resulted in the same team winning over and over. Thankfully this issue was rectified by the giant meteor that proceeded to wipe out all life on the planet.

The season is over and parity still does not exist, the Los Angeles Panthers were nearly the heroes to all, but they fell to the kings of the Simulation Hockey League, the Hamilton Steelhawks JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. It's insane, after the Panthers came out shooting in a Game 1 in Hamilton, I know that many of us thought we were in a time of change but just like we all knew was going to happen, Hamilton said... yeah, I know what we need to do... winning the next two games by multiple goals. Los Angeles one 1 more, but Hamilton took home another trophy with two more dominant victories to end with a 4-2 series win. Oh well.

Last year, the commissioner of the SHL said "Goalies are making too many mistakes", and the goalies union took that personally, asking the commissioner to resign and apologize. When they did not, all the goalies retired immediately, and robot goalies went into effect. After a few preseason malfunctions, the higher-ups learned just to put coats on them to stop them from freezing and the rest is history. The Robot Goalies total only allowed 38 goals the entire season, with Bot Goalie 27, nicknamed "the puck murderer", never allowed a goal all season. He was called that because he broke pucks every time he saved them, an issue that soon became a feature. He was quoted saying "Beep Boop, you puny humans, I'm just stealing another one of your jobs haha" which hit close to home for a lot of people. Dick Move Robot! Please come back Human Goalies. We miss you, with all your faults.

The most recent Sim League I've joined after the SHL is the phenomenal WSBL which stands for the World Simulation Basketball League, this sim league started last year and has grown substantially since the first release. I'll admit, as one of the first members I did not know how it would work or if it would last even through the first season, but WOW was I mistaken, the boost of original members were soon outnumbered by new folks, CAUSING AN EXPANSION AFTER THE FIRST SEASON! Now, with season 3 set to begin this week, it's soon exciting to be a part of a league that is so fresh and so knew. And while that makes the SHL seem old and outdated, that isn't close to the truth. Both SHL and WSBL have so many games to sim through that it keeps them interesting and causes a lot of fluctuation throughout the season. Now I don't know if the WSBL will make it 60 seasons. But I'll tell you I don't plan to quit any time soon.

That just sucks, so now with the new guy in charge, I cannot wait to do JUST THAT MWAHAHAHAH. When next season comes around you are getting 150 words on the dot.

CW Trivia
Verification word slurp ( 13 TPE)

Six whole decades, my goodness. What was it like back in Season Uno? Well I have no idea, and I don't think any of you do either. But what I can do is lie… I mean imagine. So many mustaches. Everywhere. Everyone. Mustache galore. Smoking like crazy. I mean players were smoking during plays, coaches smoking, fans smoking, even the stray cat in the rafters was smoking. Cigarette butts everywhere, and the poor people on the tvs would have never been able to see the game because of the smoke. No one was overly muscular, no one had six packs, the only six packs they had was the beer on the bench. These guys would finish a game, smoke another pack and go home. Wake up and go to their day time jobs, there was no practice and no lounging around. People with asthma back then did not make it very far, I'll tell you that.

4) Dino league, I have only heard rumors about it. I didn't realize it was real. Rumor is that the commissioner was Garry Rexman, a big T-Rex that stomped on small-time guys. Instead of an ice rink there were little places before the Ice-Age where there were spots of frozen lake, stick could be picked easily. Best wingers in the day were the Raptors with their speed, of the best was Jonathan Rapturdeau. Center wise we needed some big boy. Usually you saw Spinosaurus, but one that made it famous was Jarret Spurgeonsaorous. Defense we had usually Triceratops, usually with their devastating hip checks. The best was Scott Steventops. One who nowadays might be considered dirty if he played. The best goalie of all time in those days was a big big boy in a brachiosaurus. Best of course was Martin Brachideur. What a league it was back then, it was a bloodbath. Literal one since half the time the game never finished and everyone ate each other.

6)
a) It's the Challenge Cup, your big guys are the ones that need to step up and produce. Hamilton has the luxury of riding their depth players and resting their top guys. But for LA they need that win and have to get those points for their top line. Its really their only play.

b) Speed in my opinion might be the best way to beat them. They are so good and have been good for so long but are now getting older. Speed on the outside might be the best way to try and get them off their angle. But honestly they have seen everything and anything, so it might be hard to truly beat them.

c) For a whole 5 man attack that LAP is doing, the opposing team really needs to bunker down defensively, all 5 of their own players need to know where to be and be positionally sound. That full offense has a downside of a free counter attack. If defensively held Hamilton can easily attack and have an odd man rush the other way.

d) For goaltenders that are playing as hot as these are, the only way to truly break them is to get a goal. Shooting from tough angles, and shooting from anywhere and everywhere. If you can get a greasy goal on them, you have a potential threat of breaking the dam wide open on them.

2. Wow 62 years ago! I believe the league started one day in a neighborhood a group of kids started forming 3v3 teams on the local pond. As the kids grew up they started requiring uniforms and getting local sponsors for their teams. One thing lead to another they were in college coming back on weekends for game nights and all pitched in to build a arena. This lead to more teams travel games and city teams. We have come along way from our roots. When original players grew up they did not wear helmets and when of age they even smoked and drank alcohol on the bench, these were wild times. We have come along way since the beginning and the league is really doing well. We owe it all to those imaginative kids. Lets hope we can live up to their dreams and keep pushing to make the league even better.

3. Well TBB hasn't won a cup YET, and the last time the franchise won was S18 I believe. That was a century ago! I would only imaging the team was the finesse puck moving type. I believe they were the type that was solid from 1st line to 4th line. It would have been a team built for a run and down. They would have been savvy vets used to make that one year their last since it was not a repeated cup contender. I think their intangibles were grit and hardwork. They fought fr ever loose puck and used defense to create offense. They would trap hard in the neutral zone and counter with unrelenting power. I wish I was here when they won so I could have seen true hockey at its finest. This will all be coming back with the future TBB squad coming soon. The cup is coming back to TBB.

6. a) This one is tough, some would think balance it out and keep legs fresh, while some would let the horses run. I look at the current NHL team EDM and how McDavid's line averages about a min more then the second line and they seem to have success being the top points getters last few years. Now, with this said it depends how the second and third lines are. If the lines are balanced and pull their own weight I would balance the attack more.
b) So for avoiding the blocks you really need to focus on who you line up against these guys. I would look at my roster and see who had the highest Getting Open rating. The more you spread the puck out the hard it is to get in front of the puck for a block. They are block a lot of shot from the point so, pair up players who can get up with players pointmen who can move the puck and you should see some success get clean shots.
c) This would be set by lining up my more defensive forwards with their more offensive defensemen. Really try and get stick checking, hitting, and positioning up to help counter the forward pressure five men are bringing. Maybe up some 3rd line time to counter if your 3rd line is built for more defense.
d) I would really rattle them with net front presence. I would look to get the garbage area players and good screeners some soldi playing time in the zone to really cut the eyes out of their goalie. The more you limit the vision the better the chances to get solid chances. muck it up in front and power home some goals.
