The New Sushamiboy Blog

Post by Sushamiboy »

Alright so alas I am starting anew again. No one will blame me as the new Minimal 4.0 roster update was released. So this time I will take the Montreal Canadiens, my favorite team, and do everything I can to make a great team. The only edit I have done to the roster is the recent trade with Carolina to acquire Kaberle. Again I'm laying myself some ground rules. Human sackings are turned on for one. I will try to keep the trades realistic but I will let one or two slip by just like in the real NHL (we all remember the Lindros trade right?). Another thing is that I will always try to aim for having homegrown talent, a reality in Montreal. So wish me luck. If ever you have comments to make or would like to see any specifics like stats or anything don't be shy to post. I will be keeping a similar formatting to my previous blogs.
