I'd like to see how the Flyers are 5-5 with nobody on any leaderboard except for Bernier, who's 24th in save percentage so far.

wow, really though the Ottawa Young Guns would have a much harder time in the EHM sim. Though it's only been a month, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Also, this thread T-Bowns.





Starsfan posted:

god drat it Niemi and Enroth. You're sinking the team!

**still ahead of the pace of the real life Sabres so I can hold on to that :(





Twin Cinema posted:

I'm glad I got a free Klingberg (is he any good in this game?) because he fills out my defense. Hopefully Semin doesn't suck as bad in this game as he did this past season. Also, Paajarvi on the second line while Ryan Strome and Huberdeau on the fourth? Uh, okay.





Paulocaust posted:

My team gets worse every time I look at it. Carlyle still haunts me and is playing a guy that washed out of the league irl on my second line.

Apparently Gardiner is out 4 months.




Verviticus posted:

thankfully in EHM every player can handle 60 mins and every goalie can play 82 games

but holy poo poo... canucks would've been a good real life team but are going to be a very bad EHM team unless the computer just plays zetterberg/ovie 45 mins a game which uh, might happen. and then i'll win every game. hopefully andersen has a good rating in these rosters

legit concerned about that PP though. santorelli probably has like a 4 for creativity and passing

anyways i think the blackhawks, jets, caps, canucks, devils jets and islanders are probably all going to turn out pretty well all in all





eXXon posted:

Jordan drafted a great top 6 for the Hawks but evidently forgot about defense after Chara.

e: ok that lineup is much better, whoever did the ratings must be a big Mantha fanboy though.

Hell yes. Team Saskatchewan is ready for a red hot 24th place finish.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
well apparently my Sabres are averaging around 23 shots per game so maybe its not all the goaltenders fault..

Penalty Kill is decent so far.. that's the value of having Marcus Kruger on your team.

does this sim have unusually low events per game and that is why goaltending is so drat important? Based on some math (assuming those stats you posted are for the same 11 games my team went 3-6-2 in) I'm only allowing 26 shots per game.. so either I'm the real life New Jersey Devils, or this game is kind of low event.

LOL the guy Carlyle puts at 2nd line over Beleskey and Killorn has 0 points in 9 games

Can we do anything to alter our team like trades, fire coaches, etc or do I have to watch this dumpster fire burn

I was thinking no for this one just because everyone isn't here, but maybe I'll run a sim in this soon where people can do that.

Alex Burrows, 4th line center despite not playing C at all, nice.

I'm surprised my team is even above .500 with that poo poo goaltending. Is Lehner already injured or something or is the CPU stubbornly starting Hutch for no good reason? Also what happened to make Matt Read suck so bad?

Burrows occasionally plays centre for the Canucks. He's a true forward in that he has no problem playing any position up front. He's weakest at centre, but only because he hasn't played a ton of it at the NHL level.

Lehner is healthy but he's not that great in EHM, at least off the start.

December 1st Update

My Devils have rebounded and stab's team of merry goons is somehow good in EHM (Carey Price). In the West, the Sharks continue to look like the Cup favorite although the Stars are still there. The Flyers and Avalanche have a hard beat on McDavid/Eichel.



Semin going for 50 in 50 :stare:


Ryan Murphy may be a tad overrated:


Lou is having a big time year on the island.


Drouin and Ekblad are dueling for the Calder.


Weird November trades


Major injuries:



Varlmov and Lehtonen have fractured wrists, but they're only DTD right now.

POTM



Meanwhile, in Colorado: (no head coach has been hired yet so Joe is GM/Coach at the moment).




I'll post some team updates later.

I think your team will rebound because Fasth has been pretty solid actually and your scorers are all good in EHM but just underperforming. Stammer is 8-7-15 and he usually tears it up.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
This sim is pretty realistic so far with my Sharks owning the first few months of the year, when games really matter. We'll see if the realism continues into the second half of the season...

But Quick has a regular season .931 so far, so that's nonsense.

I'm not sure how Brendan Smith and Ryan Murphy are sitting atop defense scoring.
