Also, the SHL is a longer timeframe and is much easier to judge if a GM is AWOL or not, for the IIHF and it's short nature, not to mention Sami's submission of a roster, it is more difficult to implement, but if he does not return soon I think it safe to say we will be looking for a new German Fed Head.

To clarify publicly on this point per conversation with Arty, particularly for listeners of the podcast (and I'll edit this into the OP as well), Germany submitted a roster, just in the wrong place, which is why I didn't see it.  They are only guilty of not submitting lines and forum incompetence, and frankly we're all guilty of forum incompetence on this maze of a site at least once in our lives.

for the record, my take on the rule was a generic feeling on the topic and wasnt calling out Germany specifically. didnt even realize they missed it until it was mentioned in the channel. anyway.. good topic Zach! your pod brings out the heat!
