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...
This is an area where you need a bit of balance, though - Danny doesn't want to hurt teams so badly that they'll need a couple of seasons for the coach to sort...
Thanks for the pointers. Basically it's up to the individual's idea of how his team should play. Center is an area I'm looking to improve on but I think I'll...
Imagine my shock when I was expecting the 2nd draft pick only to end up with pick 10:-( I thought it had to be a mistake only to find in the rulebook that ...
<Imagine my shock when I was expecting the 2nd<br>draft pick only to end up with pick 10:-( I thought it had to be a mistake only to find in the rulebook...
I've had a few problems recently with several players at the same position hitting poor form at the same time (NHL2 Wild - none of my defencemen played well at...
I find in both Slapshot/GB, the first step is to give a guy with bad form a week off, this halves the bad for immediately and can sometimes stop the vicious...
Thanks for the explanation. The reason makes sense and would stop teams throwing games in Gameplan as well at the end of the season but doesn't make me any...
> I doubt I get a response to this, but does anybody set any of their wingers to A-D value of 5 or are you all rather more defensive than that?<br><br>I set...
I've had the feeling that most of my attacking players A-D values have been set far too high apart from my defenders. <br><br>Thanks for that.<br>Troy...
Hi<br><br>Iset a couple of my forwards to A-D 5. I do this with forwards who have poor defensive abilities using the probably suspect logic that they don't add...
You could take the opposite view - that forwards who have poor defensive abilities should devote more effort towards defense.<br><br>But then, if it works for ...
I tend to give players who are good defensively lower ratings, and good attackers high ratings (although I don't use 5, which probably doesn't come as a ...
Interesting strategy about mixing up the A-D ratings on the lines. I've always done it the opposite way, try to match the guy's with the same rating on the...
Generally I'm looking to develop younger players, especially in NHL1 where most of my starting forwards will retire within two years :-).<br><br>I think value...
Well done to whoever complained to Danny about the holdout situation.<br><br>For those not receiving a turn today the new rule is - if anyone on your team is...
I emailed Danny on Tuesday with a copy of the message i put on this site a couple of weeks back.<br><br>I guess the NHL2 Sabres will start to reduced their ...
