Franchise NHL / Re: FNHL History - Stories
« on: November 13, 2020, 02:02:12 PM »
My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly.

I think I was in BY for all of a week or 2 when I first joined Profsl. I didn't reply to a PM for 5-7 days and got kicked out by Drew for not being active enough for his precious BY. You could tell the guy had too much time and no family, definitely no kids or a house. All I could do was laugh. My guess is the guy actually created spawn now and understand he was premature with his decision. From what I hear he disappears for stretches now. Karma. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

How does this indirectly involve FNHL?

Well, all I can say is after that regrettable encounter with Drew, I appreciate how professional and mature PR & PPG are in this league. People seem to get it here. Play hard but relax and don't let stuff wind you up.

Then seeing how Drew used commish privileges to retroactively adjust his lineup numerous times to win matchups just made a lot of us question those FNHL champions. It did for me. Maybe that huge Anton Forsberg BO cap hit is bad karma slapping the face of that Minnesota Wild franchise.

Esa Lindell was a very nice pick. I though he was good but not as good as he's turned out to be. Definitely one that got away for me.

That Anton Forsberg drop was textbook Indians. Of course Jonathan saw it all the way and jumped on Anton who appeared to be heir apparent to be #1 in Chicago that year. And that BO cap hit is still brutal.

One of the great things about FNHL is how we all value draft picks. Credit to PR & PPG for ensuring they have value and aren't afterthoughts. I love me a good draft and this year's prospect crop looks promising.

Reminds me of the prospect tournaments they play pre-season as part of training camp or extended rookie camp. 3 teams get together at Traverse City.

I think it's a great idea. I'm just wondering if there's enough game variance for the proposed Canadian Division with only 7 teams. Wonder if they'll get an exemption to travel to the states and play a mini-tournament against some US teams. Perhaps at the tail end of the regular season?
:thumbsup::thumbsup::iatp: It seems like it will resemble the Prospect tournaments. Still interested to see how the Canadian Div gets integrated into the overall regular season plan.  I mean if the Cdn teams play each other and no US teams, each Cdn team will play each of the other Cdn teams a total of 7-8 times each. Seems like overkill and doesn't make for great entertainment.

You know I'm just adding my version of Antman to this thread right. But I have to say Indians ripped my heart out when he traded away Sebastian Aho, Nikita Gusev AND Johnny Gaudreau from my heavily scouted former San Jose Sharks franchise. At least Rock On has worked on rebuilding the minors over there. :thumbsup:

I'm starting to see why guys pay to play in FNHL. Nuff said.
Well that was out of the blue.

Is that a compliment or a backhanded one hahahaha
 
FNHL owners love the league. It's tough. Competitive. It'll kick your butt. And just when you think you've figured it out, you get a swift kick to the stones to knock you back a little or sometimes a lot.

You’ll be ok w/o goalie compensation, you have a top team.
AntMan's bullying me again MOM! :rofl::rofl: We are all watching you continually assembling the best young roster. :thumbsup: So we don't feel bad for your Colorado Avalanche. Not one bit. But I have to say it'll be tougher without the assistance of Indians. :rofl: Some of us still talk about how the Avs were gifted Cayden Primeau.  :puke::puke::thumbsup:

Great plan, King Boseman. I see you are keeping busy and staying organized. I look forward to seeing how the Seattle Kraken expansion plan will unfold.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::iatp: We'll be watching Kingy!

The King is clearly ready for action. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
You go get 'em King! Build that Kraken roster out.

I think it's obvious a team with 2 starting G can't protect both as the rule is written.

So the competition point of 15 is can Nashville tag both goalies since both cannot be protected

Sounds like “no” ?
You got to be kidding me. Come on Ant, really. Lobbying? Boo Ant! Booooooooooo!
