Hi Rob,<br><br>How low was your fatigue? You were certainly very impressive in the rounds up to the Stanley Cup. If I remember correctly I had only one player...
I had two guys up near forty and the rest were at or below ten. Several had zero, three days of rest for every four games played is a huge advantage in the of...
Hi all,<br><br>I've just taken over the Canadiens in NHL4 and haven't yet received my first set of results. That will be this week. However, talk about extreme...
I usually bonus my goaltender but I must admit it had never occurred to me to bonus REF as well.<br><br>I have wondered if coaching has a greater effect on ...
Jury's out !<br><br>My side went 1-4, however most of my inherited options seem a little crazy plus I don't seem to have any defenders of note so blaming the...
In the rule book it states that Bonuses (and keys) on Goaltenders are less effective than when used against skaters. I tried an experiment along the same lines...
I wouldn't go overboard on having excellent keepers,<br>I have managed to win my division with two level 8 keepers and one of them had a 28-9 record. Having...
I'd agree with being able to coach goaltenders - I drafted a 6-strength guy with 14 potential in NHL1 , and one season on he's a 9-strength player (and a very...
I have just picked up a 5* GLT for my Canadiens. He is valued at just 9LP's (wage of 1LP). Yet, to show how poor my existing 3 GLT's are, he actually has the...
So far, I've won 2 drawn 2 and lost 6!?!! The team would probably do better without me being there! But, I'm not here for the short term unless I get sacked by...
Anything above .900 is normally deemed good. Anything below .900 is generally seen as being pretty bad. However, if your team scores a tonne of goals, it...
Bobby,<br><br>have you started a newsletter for NHL2 yet as I was wanting to pick your brains for some ideas? I was considering starting one up for NHL4 ...
Hi Troy,<br><br>Power Play will debut in the next turn of NHL2 after this weeks turn. <br><br>I'll probably use pretty much the same format for a Slapshot ...
Thanks again.<br><br>I'll have a check around all the newsletters I currently have through Baseball and Gameplan. Maybe I'll spot something inovative, who ...
My usual benchmark is 'better than your opponents', that is I compare my goalies' save percentage to that of my opponents (the teams I've played I mean - ...
Maybe I'm starting to get to grips with my Canadiens. Last 5 matches, we out shot all of our 5 opponents yet only won 2 of the 5 matches:-( <br>So, I either...
Well, it's taken long enough but this week my side have actually managed to win more than they lost by winning 3 out of their 5 games:-)<br><br>Looking at the...
Troy,<br><br>My thoughts:<br><br><GLT - REF is most important><br><br>Definitely, although having solid ratings for the others is useful as well (my ...
thanks folks!<br><br>Some interesting advice there. I hadn't given the face off any real thought up to now. I'm fairly lucky, I think, in that my Canadiens...
I'd be interested to find out how other club members rate the value of their players (and I mean how much they're worth rather than what you're actually paying...
For me, a lot depends on circumstances (similar to what Rob said in his message) - if I have a big need for a type of player, I'm happy to pay a bit more than...
Hi <br>I've just joined so I appologise if I'm flogging a dead horse here. I think that for the first couple of seasons there has been little action at the ...
Hi <br>What are peoples thoughts on what makes a good center. I've struggles with this one. I know what I'm looking for in a defender and a forward but not ...
This system of making teams lose their best players for the week in order to encourage teams to keep their wages in check doesn't really seem to be working in...
You make some good points Martin. I've always thought the holdout rule is unfair in all the PBM games. Given that not every team has a manager in the league ...
From what I've seen:<br><br>CON is good, as it helps in winning faceoffs - look at how many your centres win/lose along with their CON rating at the end of a...
