[Virtual Jarmo]

Chris Pronger's 2012-13 season is over following an incident with Mike Knuble. Knuble will miss the next four games. In a bigger loss, the Blackhawks will be without Patrick Kane for the rest of the regular season and possibly a couple games in the playoffs following an incident with Kyle Quincey. Quincey will miss the next two contests.

A bad loss for the Jets tonight as Antti Niemi gets pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots in a 5-3 loss. The Red Wings' powerplay fires 20 shots on net and pots a pair in a 5-1 rout over the Avs. Miikka Kiprusoff gets the Flames back on track with a 3-0 win over the Orphanues. The Ducks are just four points back in the playoff hunt after a 5-0 domination of the Orphanucks. Along with losing Kane, da Hawks also lose the game as the Coyotes' up and down stretch continues. The Capitals win easily and the Penguins do the same.

Fuck yeah, Brett Connolly first star. Lost in all the commotion is an actual solid performance by Bryzgalol. And Gudbranson appears to be finding his groove.

Uh, sorry about Kane, Femur. :/

[Jets GM]

Nice to be back on top of the bottom half of the league.

[Parker]

Look on my PK%, ye mighty, and despair!

[SharksGM]

I guess EHM decided the TB win was enough and fuck having any other upsets today.

No offense to da Hawks, of course, but if you're on the road and Patty Kane gets Quincey'd, that's not an unexpected final score.

Considering I can't even beat teams like Dallas and Anaheim at home, I'll take it. The Hawks lead the league in scoring, so holding them to two goals is an accomplishment in my books.

Believe it was 3-0 when Kane got hurt.

Hawks also playing without Sharp, who is DTD.

let me clean this up for y'all as i am closest to da Hawk situation.

da Hawks blow right now. i did more test sims these last three games than i have the last three years combined, and there was no amount of juggling that was going to win us any of the three games.

Presidents trophy is in the past; division still looks certain, but prospects for the playoffs is dim, though. there is no line-up i can submit now that doesn't give up 35 shots per game. it was a good ride until mid-March. there will always be memories...

[Parker]

I don't even bother with test sims anymore. When I lose games, I blame the EHEC Gods of Probability. I beat the odds for a long time with that insane winning streak (and even more insane home winning streak) so now the odds are having their revenge.

Yeah, I don't test sim either. Seems less irritating to lose a game when you haven't won 85% of your practice runs.

when i have the time (and know i have a game that night....not a huge subset) i like to test sim once or twice with each goalie and perhaps a mild reshuffling of tactics or lines.

there used to be much more strategy when you could trap the whole game, and you felt there was something you could do to avoid some losses. now, that all this is off the table (and i am NOT complaining, don't get me wrong...it is neither better nor worse with the new rules, just different) there really is not much you can do to avoid the car wreck you see coming.

but when you have to goalies like i do (and do i really need to explain?) you can sometimes get a feel if one of them is going to get the dreaded 4 rating (i must say, often they both test out at 4 and 5 and then i just head to the proverbial [and usually literal] liquor cabinet) with a simple test sim and go with the other idiot.

Should just go free-for-all next season. No rules. No pro-ration. No tactic requirements. No salary cap.

play the ball as it lies, and leave the course as you found it. couldn't be more simple.

in all seriousness, i actually prefer the European soccer model for leagues. no cap for either individuals or total team. no draft, no revenue sharing. you afford the team you can afford, and the punishment for failure is HUGE (relegation).

Last season during the bitter darkness of my 13-game winless streak, I ran dozens, hundreds, zillions, of test sims. When I stopped, I immediately went on a five-game winning streak. Go figure.

[Parker]

Yeah, the way I built my roster, my third line is always going to be NZT and my fourth line is always going to be H&G. For me to maximize my strategy under the rules, a second line H&G is a requirement too, so the only real decisions I have to make are whether to run Boedker-Staal-Doan on 1st line passing plays and Kartayev-Korpikoski-Connolly on 2nd line H&G, or Boedker-Korpi-Connolly on 1st line PP with Kartayev-Staal-Doan on 2nd line H&G.

I'd be pissed the fuck off if you did that, because the only reason I traded Kaberle is that I knew there's no way he'd fit into the budget next season.

You can have him back.

This is true, but sometimes every one of my test sims are mostly a L, then they win.

This would make a fun side project.
