EVO: Ok, I may not be an old man myself, not compared to old man Darrow himself at the very least, but I have been around for some time, and trust me, things were certainly a different breed. First off, nutrition wasn't really much of a key aspect to growth, development and wellbeing as it is today. So many players were able to punch way beyond their wait just be having good habits within their diets. Another thing was that the league used to have a cologomerate called "The Simon T Corporation" that used to be the majority shareholder of the league, and man were they a bunch that revelled in chaos. Not everyone were fond of their penchant player and team interferance, and they were not always in the best of standings with the unions, but they did bring the fans parity and entertaining games, and there has never been too much of a blowout with them and the player unions. However, when they deemed it time to leave, it was truely an era missed, and I do have a sad pit in my heart over their departure.

RESO: This has been a major storry within the Colorado Raptors LR when I was around. Maybe it was real, maybe it was just Ruggsy being drunk and mad, but the Dino League rumor goes like this.
Way before humanity was even a concept to the deities above, the Dinos conviened where the continent of Antarctica was lodged in at the time. There, whilst it was far from the white ice desert that we know it as right now, Antarctica was still a very cold place during the winter, complete with fresh snow and ice several metres thick. Perfect for Dino Ice Hockey. There, the play was very medieval, so to say. Lots of checks, plenty of bruises, and there was rarely a game where there wasn't a fight. However, through all of this, there was one dino that kept wracking up goals, making others awe at him and bringing fear towards his oppenents. The Raptors LR awed, and I remember asking Ruggsy who that dino might be. All he did was give a longing look at the logo, and I think that's all the answer we needed.

PS: Ok, so in my honest view, a successful rebuild is one that manages to transform the franchise from one constituting plenty of aging players that aren now going to improve in the future to one that is filled with a youth and/or players that can check in and deliver major improvements to what was there before over the long term. That new core of players then need to either win the cup or become a long standing powerhouse that can constantly make cup runs in order to make this a successful rebuild. In my opinion, no other team has performed such a successful rebuild quite like Texas, who has turned a good but ageing core of Kvalheim, Kubinec, Gotze and Danger into a lethal current core of Sulfurgold, Watcher, Kondos, Williams, Hudson, Pihl, M.A.S, Lepannen and Scianna (With the Kvalheim cameo as well). The Renegades are indeed the gold standard when it comes to rebuilds, and any GM worth their salt should take lessons from just how good of a job Puoli has done.
