Advance period 6

Start: Tues Oct 9 @ 11:59pm ET

Ends: Saturday Oct 13 @ 11:30pm ET

Franzen could be good for the right price, is he playing your top line?

Based on his point production he would rank third amongst my right wings. Might play second line?

Shoot me an offer and we can go from their.

Since the forums are all sorts of screwed up for me and I can't access anything else, I just wanted to make sure I posted this, because I'm still not sure if I believe what the hell happened in Los Angeles tonight. Quick recap, down 4-2 with under five to go in the third period in an inter-conference matchup against the surprisingly-not-terrible Florida Panthers, the Los Angeles Kings tally five unanswered goals in the final five minutes, including 4 goals in the final 53 seconds (all scored in a span of 46 seconds) to take home a 7-4 win.

Florida Panther 4:7 Los Angeles Kings​

Is this league dying?! Where did everyone go; I hardly see anyone on the forums anymore?!

No and we've been talking in the chat about ways to make it better.

keep your eyes on the forums. you may see some changes very soon!!

Sounds interesting! Vague but interesting!

Ya I don't have this chat thing, so I kinda feel left out.

Well it is free, I posted instructions how to get set it up a couple weeks ago, and sent invites to everyone who's email I could find on this site.

Ya I just don't have time to sit on a chat when I am at home, when I am at work I wouldn't be aloud to use it on my computer and I don't have enough data on my phone to use it there. Plus I don't think it would work on my phone.

That's why I like the forums, I get an email when a message is made I can quickly check it anywhere, at home, work or on the go. And it is simple.

I'm available after 10 tomorrow and Monday and just about all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

forums are the only way to monitor activity here at TSO. the chat is a great tool to help with league chatter, trades, etc, but its secondary to the forums.

its been brought to my attention that a lot of the guys in the league dont post much here in the forums and bc of it communication is lacking. its also been brought to my attention that guys have threatened to quit for whatever reasons..

a successful league needs structure.

shiftee and rschwep want to do that, with that said..

@shifftee has some personal things going on and cant give 100% to commish duties and neither can rschwep, so im stepping in here and will run things in the forums.

rschwep will continue to be the one to advance the schedule, accept trades, etc in game.

now, we need to know who is 100% committed to this league. i need a response from everyone who is on board with the THL PS3. if it ends up only 6 or 8 of you, thats fine. if its everyone, great.

at the most, we would have 16, so the advance schedule would be 2 week advances every 7 days. if thats to slow for you, thats fine. thats what this league is going with. if we stick to a schedule, you will be able to complete two 82 game seasons by 1st week of August. that would be impressive!!

trades, there will be trade rules. more to come on that in a lil while.

like i mentioned above, i need a response from everyone that wants to continue on with the new set up. if you dont, thats fine, no problem.

you will be able to keep your team in this restart for the record, if you would like to change to another team bc someone drops, we will handle that as well.

who is in this for the long haul?

ps. if we have enough on board that want to keep rolling with the current league without restarting, that possibly can be done. but it will be done with more structure going forward. i understand some of you put in some time and effort in this and i would hate to see that go to waste.

deadline for a response is Saturday 10AM EST.. if we dont hear from you, we are taking it as you are out.

So is this starting over or not? I've proposed a couple options to rschwep and shiftee in the chat and would be willing to help out the commish's in certain circumstances. Starting completely over would not be one of them.

Fiddy14 I'm in ... I'm not sure what more is being addressed but I'd like to see some kind of discipline for high percentages of DNF vs the CPU. I can understand against users because sometimes connections fall out, however having over 20% DNF against the CPU is just short changing everyone else in this league. If you can't handle to lose a game against the computer this league isn't for you. I'm not sure if everyone knows but that information is public under the league members page in GM Connected, just scroll over using R1/L1

Yeah, those with %'s near 40% need to be addressed.

I also think that IF we decide to completely start over taking the league off gm connected and bringing it back to the forums (like we did for the short period in NHL 12) might be the best approach. Sure, we're losing the ability to have roster management and build up teams (though not sure how much building you can do in two seasons and there really haven't even been that many trades/free agent signings) but you avoid issues with freak injuries (people losing players for 45+ games in a sim) and other flaws that are in the mode. Also we'd be able to set our own schedule lengths (allowing for more than two seasons) and would be able to have games "postponed" so players aren't losing out on games if they are truly busy and/or away for a period of time. This would also eliminate the DNF issues and would allow a couple former members who left because they couldn't connect to others on GMC (but had no issues in normal online matches) to play. I feel like people just want to play and this option would alleviate some of the past problems.

I would be willing to help run/set this up.
