Yeah but wirtz has not retired in your game...so you will get fired 1/2 way through next season, because you asked for a $5 stipend to by a hot dog....one time.

Lol

Hey, in case someone gets fired (i don't think it would happen, but you never know), what happens in terms of challenge? End + elimination?

You just add yourself back in.


However you must make sure that everyone is told that this happened. At least I believe that is correct. This is covered somewhere in the old rules that have always been around I think.



Ever read those Shadd? :-D

Wow, I'm working out a trade with the Bruins for Chara. As it stands now Its Chara and Sturm for Ruutu my 3rd (not Vancover's can't remember whether I got it in a trade or started with it) Bryan Bickell and Vorobiev (who I wasn't sure I was going to bring to NA anyway). I can't believe they are even considering doing this. It would shore up the one thing other my goaltending thats weak and thats my defense. I can't really doing anything about the goaltending due to the core requirements.

Oh Yeah I forgot to update everyone on how the points race is shaping up. The Art Ross is almost assured to be coming to Chicago. Heatley leads the league with 112 points and Havlat is in 2nd with 95. The 2nd runner up is Alfie with 85. This is at the 59 game mark. The Richard is also going to be coming to Chicago. Heatley leads the race with 50 goals, and Havlat in 2nd with 49. Alfie has 3rd place with 41.

Shoot, I just remember I put Ruutu in my core making him ineligible. And the Bruins don't want to talk if he's not in it. Stupid Bruins.

I remember reading it once but don't remember where and not paying much attention to it. I was thinking if you got fired during a challenge you were probably doing a horrible job anyway.

Congrats batdad :thup:

I'm just 11th :( Sucks :thdn: But i beat CatchUp and am not the last Mod, that's already a positive point :p

No way i school anyone in season 2 though. The team actually sucks hard, even if we're in a tight race for the 1st spot in the West.

Time to wear a schoolatar now... :cry:

1 month? I thought with the big multi-season challenge we agreed to wear them until the next season ended, and then the next, and so on? I'll have to do some searching through the threads later and find out for sure.

My second season should turn out to be even better than the first. I managed to trade for Esche, and then Signed Forsberg after cancelling one of my Euro transfers.
