On The Prowl - An Augsburger Panther Story

[Marleau12C]

Note: I am using the Manimal 4.1b rosters, adjusted for the hardcoded 2006 start date. Since buying the game a number of years ago, I've played very little in the European leagues, so I've decided to play a game in the DEL. I've noticed during my other games that Augsburg tends to finish near the bottom so I decided to see what I could do with them. My IceDogs blog will also continue.



Early August 2006



August 2nd

The Augsburger Panther have announced the hiring of Mark Addison as their General Manager. Expectations are not high this season for Augsburg, but the Board do expect that the roster will be improved this season.

As his first order of business Addison reviewed the staff, and fired the following staff members:

[Marleau12C]

Sorry to everyone that's been following this blog, but...I don't know, it just can't seem to hold my attention like other games I've played in the past. I'll be discontinuing this blog, though continuing with my Niagara IceDogs blog. I'll probably return to European Leagues at some point, but I guess the German League just isn't for me. I did finish out the season, finishing in 13th place...
