MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Thanks for everyone for getting games in on time, made it easy to come home and get these done quickly. Not many changes in the Prince of Wales as St. Louis, Anaheim and the NY Rangers are the class and then everyone but Washington is fighting it out for the final 5 playoff spots. In the Clarence Campbell conference, Colorado has pulled ahead and then 6 teams are in pretty good shape for the playoffs with Edmonton sitting in 8th 11 poitns ahead of Toronto and then three teams who are just waiting on the lottery. Final two weeks until the trade deadline, please make sure both sides confirm any last minute deals before the deadline and keep an eye on salaries and the cap when dealing. Good luck to all, after this, then the playoff races heat up in earnest.

Block 7 is ready to go and the updated league file and Excel file is on the website.  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 10/16/2024.

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.
