Homepage, Schedule & Results, League Save File

I was about to say that these were all fairly normal results with one exception, until I checked for ATIs... remember how I said the game rarely hands out suspensions on its own? Well, it gave Tuomo Ruutu (EDM) 13 games for injuring Dan Girardi (CHI) for three weeks, which seems a bit harsh compared to the 5 games (upgraded to 10 per our rules) that Jason Robertson (NJ) got for ending Brian Lee (OTT)'s season. Now that is tough luck.

In other news, I saw what looked like 0-6 SJ and was pleasantly surprised, until I squinted and looked closer*. Now I have some comments and questions:
- How do I turn on the "please pull the fucking goalie" setting?
- Artem Anisimov ended his 28 game pointless streak! ... with a powerplay goal. Still no SH/EV points this season.
- I was just about to praise Chet Pickard for crawling back into roughly league-average-starter level. He dropped 19 spots in the sv% rankings from this game.
- How does Connor Chatham have 16 goals already?

* did I mention that EHM looks like ass on 4K displays? Remind me to move it over to a lower res monitor.

Five goals in six minutes?? Yikes. Pickard was as bad as the Germans on Boxing Day. Eight goals on 25 shots.

Another loss for the Avs, what else is new. Penalties called in our last two games are 19 for us and 1 for our opponent!!!! What the fuck?
