MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Two weeks until the trade deadline and most of the division races have tightened up as no lead is more than 10 points for any division leader. In the Prince of Wales, only NY Islanders are definitely out of the playoffs while Washington is 9 points back and has a lot of work to do to get back in it. NY Rangers have a large 9 point lead on Carolina with Detroit close behind while Chicago and Anaheim are tied for the final wild card with Jersey lurking. In the Campbell, Florida is just 2 points ahead of Vancouver in the Lemieux and Dallas has a 9 point lead over Montreal in the Orr. LA, Boston, Calgary and Toronto are all at least 14 points out of the playoffs, so there isn’t much of a playoff race there, just jockeying for positions in the top 8 with Colorado and Edmonton tied for the final wild card but with a 20 point lead, so really nowhere to go but up. Thanks to all for getting games in on time this week and fighting through a couple of difficulties. Reminder that the end of this block is the trade deadline and both teams must confirm with me by 9 pm eastern or the trade didn’t happen. Good luck to all and let’s keep this thing rolling!

Block 7 files are up and ready to go.  Remember that all injuries this year are coaches decisions BUT all players are limited to the exact number of NHL games from last year, so plan accordingly.  If you are sending the same lineup for all 8 games then just a regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your first 4 road games, please send that out to the list (and list who the coach is for so it is easier for teams to keep the ones they need).  Also, I would ask you PLEASE include your 4 home strats as well both for your sake and mine as if I have to sim your home games for any reason I will just let the game set up your strat if none is defined and you will have to deal with any penalties later on.  I am going to continue using the strat file page and upload everyones coaches to the website like I did in the past so they are easy to find when needed.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 11/14/2023.

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 4 home games by the second Sunday of the block at 9 pm This is MANDATORY, both the exports AND boxscores please.   Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick comment for all 4 games, just adds to the league and makes it easier for everyone to see what is going on.  If I do not receive game exports after sending updates on Saturday and Sunday, I will send one more request directly about an hour before the deadline on Sunday.  Unless I get a request for an extension of time, I will wait til the deadline and about 30 minutes later I will sim games so I can get new files out before I go to bed Sunday night.
