New Season Replay w. DoC Hockey?!

[@frenchyleboeuf]

One of my favorite seasons as well when my beloved team had their inaugural season, Tampa Bay. I wonder if Chris Kontos will score four goals against the Blackhawks in the Bolts’ first regular season game. ☺️ Also, Joe Nieuwendyk is my favorite player. Good luck with the project! I am really looking forward to it! You’ve always been a great motivator to start/continue my numerous sports simulation projects. Take care. ❤

Thank you! If this replay could be made any more exciting for me to play than it already is, it's comments like yours adding to the excitement. I remember watching highlights of that Bolts - Hawks game as a kid getting ready for school the morning after and wondering who the heck Kontos was. He had a strong year for the Lightning during their inaugural season. Brian Bradley, too. I've got two more games from opening night uploading in a couple.

The excitement of a new project is always fun. Sometimes I think the project prep and planning is almost even more fun! And I wouldn’t sweat completion…enjoy the ride (self-therapy in this comment too!)

Thank you. There's definitely something to be said for the anticipation. Like a great game or series of hockey itself. The opening puck drop's my favorite moment.

Love the setup!

Thank you. I put a lot of thought into it.

GREAT SETUP and PRESENTATION ... Quick question ... When a GOALIE is INJURED or when PULLING THE GOAL OR what do you do when the SKILLS are WEAKENED by 1 LEVEL? Do you ADD or TAKE AWAY A FACE SUITE from the GOALIE or DEFENSE? In the example, it says to reduce the level from a C to a D? I don't see that?

[@HockeyUnreal]

For an injured goalie that stays in the game, I'd deduct a level from the goalie, not the team defense (though one could argue the goalie's part of the team defense). I think C to D might change from season to season. If you're using seasons created by Michael, there should be a key at the top of each sheet and bundle of four teams. For pulling a goalie, I count any shot that the shorthanded team gets to the net as a goal.
