Who the fuck plays only one game?

I don't mean to be rude but isn't lag a concern at all? The rest of the community is in Europe.

I've been playing forward for a while now. Playing RD was pretty tough at times but I've come to notice that LW/RW is really difficult in this game if you're not already good! I got off to a really nice start but that was the sort of honeymoon phase that I'm sure we're all familiar with in one form or another. Since then I've encountered the harsh reality where I struggle against a team that knows how to defend. I've tried to learn from watching the better forwards play. These Pleemakers and Adetikkis and Joukkis and Penatskis and Patzlafs and Lamsas (shout out to the hidden gem!) make it look so easy. Whenever I try to draw inspiration from that and pick up the controller again, I'm just reminded that those guys have played the forward positions a lot and that it's in those guys' DNA to do well. I even spent a while in practice trying to teach myself some sweet "jonne" hands. The end result of that is I can do a few pointless dekes that I'll sometimes spam without any good reason. It kind of resembles a cheap slapstick comedy act that gets booed off stage rather than calculated challenging of the defense. Another thing I'm trying to get better at is protecting the puck when the passing lanes are all taken away. The window for making a decision is often too narrow for my brain. It's really challenging for me to try and create space for my teammates or myself out there. I came from having played nothing but RD since NHL 11. I'll keep at this forward thing despite the frequent frustrations that I know I'll continue to have. I have to hope there's light at the end of the tunnel and that it's not just an enforcer defenseman about to crush my hopes and dreams of ever being a decent forward. It's certainly been humbling so far and I have some newfound respect for all you good forwards out there. I used to think you have it easier than defenders do, not having people track your team's goals allowed back to your own mistakes on the ice and just getting to basically relax and have a good time realizing your offensive vision. Actually, you're at constant pressure to get something done, to create chances and win the game for your team amid a tight defensive trap and minimal space to do your thing in the offensive zone. Anyway, it's nice to see the game I've been playing for so long and so much from this new perspective!

But can he do it on a cold rainy night in stoke?

.. Maybe this conversation is done? Our messages with LA didn't include that sentence tho. I think we all have much better things to do than complaining about Lite Playoffs little misunderstanding about yesterday, which makes only us look idiots. aF apologizes for miscommunication with setting up games, sh*t happens. Hope you will get over it someday like your teammates, Lainzdr. Thank you See you on the ice

Can you stop blaming each other please? Both captains I talked to agreed that both were at fault for not being clear upfront. This also has an LA component to it, so we'll work on a playoffs paragraph for ECL 6 to take care of these things. Some of which might feel like a standard but actually aren't.

TIFA=The Independent Free Agents, where 9/9 players are LW/RW

You surely have complained heck of a lot about this incident, that it seems like you are deeply hurt Ps. I also dont like dumbasses.

As things are right now there won't be any follow up from our side simply because there is no written rule (or chat agreement) about a minimum amount of games per night during the playoffs. // LA Decision Games will continue tomorrow

The transition is really easy to make, Tanski. What you do is you just tell everyone that you're a forward now and you're not going back on defense, so everyone else just needs to adjust.

Gameday! Yesterday Evolution managed to grab a 2-0 lead against Pata Hellalla by winning G1 3-2 and G2 3-0 Today we will continue with games number 3, 4 & 5 The games will begin at 20CEST, make sure to follow the action from our twitch.

Over it? Hell, its a game, its not like it keeps me up at night. I just dont like dumbasses, like Trump and other bakas

Free agent!

I actually did try goalie. I just prefer not to talk about it anymore. You see, my budding goalie career was stifled by NOS in a game where I allowed 12 goals. That game was the Vietnam to my Lyndon B. Johnson, marring my time as goalie forever.

question mark if even 4&5 is to be played?

To you who seems to be confused - we're writing in english. Use google translate if it confuses you. ????

Dumbasses has no name

Cool that you leave out the part that make you guys look like idiots: "...so we will likely include a seperate playoff paragraph to the rules for ECL 6 that includes a minimum amount of games per night among other clarifications" AF = first team that use a loophole to their advantage so that admins must create a rule so that it dosn't happen again. What a start to your fine career. Classy peeps

Almost Famous games and gamedays last two series: 4-0 against Squad Villekuku(?) - 4 wins on 4 straight late games at the same date. Series against us however: 3 games first night (late games): they win the first two, gets beaten the third. Sure, only there games were planned, but they blaimed the loss on being tired ^^ Yesterday: ask us to play 1h before game time. Postpones the game start til 21:15, drops a guy when down 1-2 in the third, lose 1-3 and the series are even at two. During this time, they never mention that its just one game, never. In their own thread, they say ”game 4 & 5 (?)”. sure, there seems to be no rules in place to stop this kind of behaviour, but Almost Famous will henceforth be known as the team that forced the LAs to create s rule for this.

DC and it was too late to start the second?

I want to personally thank you aF, for making this playoff series difficult. We've had difficulties setting up game dates and once you lose the first game this time around, you decide to disappear. Last time there were no difficulties playing three games, ofc not, you won the first two. Thank you, it's never a true playoff series without controversy and people refusing to play to make it as difficult as possible
