EHM The Blue Line

Not sure what's most astounding about these moves...

Ron Osmanski hired and fired 4 GMs in 6 years at CBJ. One of the GMs, Jim Hughes, stayed for roughly 3 years before being replaced by Eric Lindros. About a year later, Lindros gets fired and Hughes is re-hired. Five years later, Bruins pick up Osmanski as their head coach. After 3 days and a 0-2-1 record, Dave Nonis gives Osmanski the sack. Karma or the NHL in a nutshell?

It is a known issue in EHM that the team's are trigger happy, and then not signing appropriate head coaches...and then firing them quickly. So it does not shock me that a guy who was a bean counter, was hired as a HC, and then let go later. Seems to me that there is a lot of hiring for HC going on based on REPUTATION. But once hired, the GM realizes this guy is not really a coach, the team falters and then that inappropriate HC is fired, soon after hired. Although this is the quickest I have seen that turn around occur in photo evidence.


As for the guy hiring a load of GM's and firing them. Well....that can happen a bit. and there are some guys who do it. Looks like this guy has no clue what he is doing when hiring a GM to me. Unless Lindros has some crazy stats I am unaware of in the game (random potential) for his personnel file...he should not come into consideration. Evason is a meh hire for me. Just looks like this guy was dumb as a Board member.

Three first round picks, yeah!!! Wait... what?!?

A goalie with a match penalty, you don't see that too often... Roy was probably the last one



Let's see what WBS has to offer, since Fleury is three weeks out.

So it's mid-July of 2016. I get a news item saying that if a certain player isn't signed by May 31st 2016, I'll lose his rights. That day is already past.

So it's July 24, Stamkos tested FA but ended up resigning with the Lightning on the 21st, 1 year, 10.55m deal, but even so it seems the Lightning is looking to trade for him from themselves.

Trade AI just doing its thing...

I'm paying this guy 144K to do this

NHL goes back to goon hockey? To be fair, aside from the projection, he doesn't appear much of an enforcer and will probably change later...

The #9 in West has 33 points...

Wow!

The killer there is in 8 periods of hockey...the Kings only had 48 shots. I would think that their goalie should be named NHL player of the year just for that game.

And man the Oilers suck at finishing in that game. 210 attempts on goal, after 24 giveaways...lol

Hmm....

Close enough.

If you get a guy named that you gotta have him. Looks like a great AHL players!

Playing in Liiga so my hands are pretty much tied

after 1 year in Kosice Jr.

Best training methods in the entire world have Kosice.

His favorite number is a bit popular, so he took the next best thing

Still they should hire also a skating coach

Skating ? Ain't nobody got time for that.

I got this one...unfortunately the player want to leave now because of that. If anybody can help me how to solve this, it would be much appreciated, Id hate to lose that player because of this Hes one of my best defensive players, he has 51 takeaways after 40 games! The only better player in league is Hedman with 60.

You might get lucky and no one will offer to trade him. Usually they withdraw their request later. At least in my experience.

After winning the Calder Cup, and scoring the series winning goal on OT I might add, this kid goes to practice? Hockey gods must disapprove of hard workers...
