Some of my biggest L’s on this site are disappointing losses in the IIHF. I was the federation head of a very strong roster and picked up three gold medals. During the Simon T era, we won two of our three even with the more random simulation results. At the start of the FHM era, we could be very dominant with our heavy tpe numbers and bagged an early gold. However, as the seasons rolled on, we couldn’t convert dominant round robin results into the medal round. We lost out early each season even as I wanted to send off long time veterans with more medals. I couldn’t be as involved in FHM coaching with my busy real life and lack of FHM experience, so it was kind of like a slow train wreck with me as the conductor.

After all that, the W is that the federation is in new hands who can bring fresh energy and hopefully revitalize the nation results while my skater is still rosterable.
