Is the SHL in crisis or are people being overdramatic?

When we were down 2-0 to Texas in these playoffs, I ran some tests. The result was that 40% of the time, we won one game and lost in 5 instead of 4. The rest of the time was sweeps. The same odds happened the year before against Chicago. It’s frustrating to just hit a wall of a playoff series where you have no chance whatsoever. I value being a players’ coach and letting my team dictate the flow of their builds for the most part, but what am I supposed to do when other teams just force their players into builds and run with it and win more games that way? I was disappointed in the responses to either a pt prompt or cw prompt where I asked people to compare sths to fhm. Lots of people saying sths was too random, or they never played on it but HEARD it was too random. I understand playing great all season to get bounced in rnd 1 or 2 is frustrating (trust me, that was NOLA in the late s40s lol) but that's hockey. I feel like we just don't see that in fhm. Like you said, the 0% win rate in testing (5% to maybe push it to 5) is bullshit. It's gotten worse over time too, I remember being super frustrated in s55 where the buffalo series was a coin flip and I couldn't do ANYTHING to put the series in our favor. But it's gotten wayyyy worse over time, now early in the s60s I was doing testing for Anchorage and there was nothing I could do to get a series win against kel/NF I can't remember. But like 100 tests and not even one series win. That's not even hockey. Just plain fuckin boring |
