I forgot something that I feel is a big deal in every ruling. Now with the trade-but-also-FA-recruitment deadline passed, banning players effectively puts teams in a situation where they don't have 8 players anymore to use. It doesn't violate the rulebook per se, but in spirit it kinda does. That is especially true for Huppati team that has 2 players banned. I don't know how many players are on that team but potentially they can only have - players remaining, which is not convenient. But wait, there's more. Now that the team has 6 players only, are these 6 guys immune to any ban or what? So there we have a potentially team-ending rule combo. I guess the point I'm making is that you can't completely restrict recruitment if you're gonna wield the banhammer.

I am largely indifferent when it comes to code of conduct / language / political correctness enforcement. However I think posting personal pictures of guys, even without an insulting caption, is a big no no because privacy is a thing I value. Still, 10 games is 1/3 of a season, that seems like an amount disproportionate to the offense in my book, especially given that the guy was baited into it (not an excuse ofc but maybe an extenuating circumstance?). I like that people are prevented from taking captaincy roles as a result of some offenses, that's a punishment (or is it a blessing?) that can only positively impact the health of the leagues imo. That said, Egyptologen raised a valid point: what's in it for captains these days? It seems like a very very thankless job right now since they have no say in anything and are burdened with extra punishments, extra work, extra everything that sucks. Can this board of captains I have talked about before be a thing in the near future please?

There is a hilariours bug going on right now with the player MCH_98, who is listed both in my roster (Company of Geeks) and Teletapit. FYI MCH moved from my team to the other team, so his rightful place is Teletapit, not CoG.

Nah this is punishment enough. Also if I'm not mistaken Alpha Furyan is not a league admin, he's on the staff for media content.

I didn't realize the trade deadline was so soon, shiiiiiit!... COMPANY OF GEEKS (Pro division) is very much looking for a starting GOALIE and a starting (preferably left) DEFENSEMAN for the end of ECL and beyond. We could also use an extra forward. PM me here or on PSN: Billy44205

@OxtreeLAT Ewww.... Dude, you're part of League administration. You gotta be above these things, even when it concerns your team. Just have one of your clubmates comment on it in your place or something.

Company of Geeks (Pro division) is looking for a Starting Goalie. Lot of playing time in ECL guaranteed. Message me here or on PSN: Billy44205

The issue had been fixed at some point (I think...), but with the new front end it has appeared again.

Hey. I have this thing where in my team page user Philip Strom (Strumpan87 on PSN) is in the roster, but in the roster management page I don't see him. Not to mention that he listed LD and RD as his positions in his player profile but he's in our forwards list in the team page.

I had to check the ECL3 rules again because what you described seemed wrong. Let me clarify things,a dn keep in mind this is from ECL3 rules and may change in the very near future (altho it probably won't change that much). So there is a difference between free agents and transferred players. Free agents are guys who have not joined a team in the tournament yet. There is no limit to how many of these you can add. Transferred players are guys who are on a team roster according to NHLGamer and are moving from a team to another. You can add up to 3 of these in a tournament. And guys can only transfer once. Right now everyone is basically a free agent (except team captains) so feel free to add your 2 guys.

Company of Geeks!!! We are still looking for a starting GOALIE. We don't care what language you speak (coz we're not racist! ) as long as you can make some saves. (...We might also need a utility player, mostly forward, but that's not a priority...) Hit us up : Billy44205 here or on PSN Jesus here or Ralfduran on PSN

I'd also like a 3rd ECL on NHL17 if possible. Also I'd kill off Summer Cup if it meant a third season of ECL instead. Just sayin'...

I think the changes are pretty much all for the better. See? I'm not always overly critical of things around here.

But Detroit is in Michgan though... As for me I follow the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Yeah Leaguegaming is awesome and I'll go as far as to say I wish our community would have joined that website instead of creating this one. What's done is done now though so meh... Leaguegaming is several years ahead of NHLGamer any way you look at it. I mean, they have a smartphone app that allows you (among any other things) to take game stats through OCR! In my opinion NHLGamer is never ever catching up on the technological side of things and there's no point even discussing it. On the organizational side however it should be easier to go towards implementing some things like: - The power structure is clean and well defined and they are appropriately staffed. And yes that means there's a lot of people involved. To be honest their community is a lot more involved than ours. It's only the 3rd time I'm advocating a better power structure on this website guys. 10 more times and it might finally happen (like the division system lol). - Their rulebook is stupidly big but also beautifully designed. No need to take the entire book (more like fucking encyclopedia) but some parts of it, sure why not? - 3 tournaments per year - The equivalent of their CanAm tournament, which would be I guess SWE/FIN/Other tournament for us. - A tracker for player infractions and bans and all that. - A LOT more media content. Like, weekly podcasts for each division + written articles by several different people for each division. As far as I know there is no interest among European players in the classic LG league format which is very different from club tournaments (but of course now LG also has club tournaments on top of their classic leagues).
