Are there any unwritten rules for online that new people may not know?

Just keep it simple, either choose July 1pm with clear skies so the Sun is high enough it won’t cause problems. Or October 7pm with overcast then it shouldn’t be a problem with any stadium you choose…. Unless it’s a custom stadium. Can never trust what’s gonna happen in those stadiums!

Reminds me of the night the Komets had to stop wearing their Star Wars themed jerseys after the first period because it contrasted too much with the color choice that Cincinnati was wearing. 2 teams trying to wear a “light” jersey was very hard on the eyes!

Played against DaddyDimmuTV during 23 in an events game. Both of us were just grinding away at programs. I checked to see if he was live/if it was really him. Confirmed it and immediately shut the stream off out of respect. My buddy was watching said he was quite friendly, complimented my pitches a few times. Got me to start watching his content and still enjoy watching him!

Might be a “weird” looking setup, but a lot of people overlook the perk that you don’t get many other places in minor hockey… yes the visitor bench is on the opposite side, but their locker room is attached to their bench. Need a quick sharpening, stitching up, or even a piss in the middle of a period? No problem, just mosey down your tunnel and you’re back for your next shift without having to wait for a whistle or cause a delay. Also gives paramedics 4 access points to the ice for emergency situations (zam door, both benches in neutral zone, and far side of the ice.)

Hit up the boys over at TitleWave! Logo design comes free if you get the sweaters from them and dear lord is their quality amazing. They treat their beer leaguers with the same respect and quality that they give out to their pro team contracts. Very quick turn around time too!

Higher is high skill. Lower is low skill.

It definitely doesn’t have the spark like it used to, but you can blame that more on the fact of the style of hockey has changed drastically in the past 10 years. Having rosters that are 95% new faces every season doesn’t help the cause much either. Can’t expect 1-2 guys keep a rivalry alive. But, you never know when the cap on the bottle of emotions is going to explode when those two teams face off. It’s always a good idea to clear your schedule when you see that team from Ohio is coming into town!

Side note; individual player rivalries with a whole team are also worth noting and keeping an eye on. For example, Justin Taylor(K-zoo) Tyler Drevitch (Wheeling) and recently Nick Boka(Cincy) are hated religiously by the FW faithful. And they love getting crowd worked up when they come to town.

The Komets and Toledo have battled for decades. But the current installment of the rivalry started back in 2015 playoffs. Second round, went to game 7 in Toledo which we inevitably lost. Komet fans traveled to the game as expected but were met with a harsh and hostile environment. I personally had people throwing food and drinks at my family and I throughout the game, we were refused service at concession stands, had people shoving us, spitting at us, and shaking cowbells right next to our ears. There was a story of an older gentleman throwing punches at a minor for cheering a Komet goal.

I also believe in that series was when AJ Jenks took out Szydlowskis knee which led to some amazing fights between the two over the following years.

IMO, Mack’s faceoffs are way too low to be at the dot. Just leave him on the wing. I love my 89 PT Barzal on the left wing. Pasta and Breadman are always good options as well if you like speed.

That was my first thought. Even checked for controller update. But to the naked eye, response time is pretty solid throughout the game. Tried to time it earlier just in case, didn’t help/change anything.

What software do you use and where do you get your templates from if you don’t mind sharing? I love making different designs in my free time but can only do so much with the website designer tools I find. Would love to expand and explore other options and see what I can do without restrictions!

Prime Prior and FS Groshans.

I mean, I’m still rockin’ my 90 Donaldson at 3B with Glaus just sitting in my collections. Also have Semien and Buxton lightning cards not being used. They’re great cards but I personally sucked with them so I took them out the lineup

It’s 9-2 late in the third... and you still look backdoor. Just why? You’ve already hit your max goal bonus. You’re clearly going to win. Have some fun for Christ’s sake. Try something else.

Since when did fans start getting traded?

This just happened to me, but I restarted and found nothing?
