MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Final block of the season is here and there is still a lot to be decided in the playoff races. In the Prince of Wales, Washington and Arizona are in the playoffs in the Horton while is in good shape for the #3 slot.  In the Howe NY Rangers have a big lead and could clinch the division soon, while Chicago and Carolina are both in and fighting it out for home ice more than likely thought the Isles may have something to say about that as they sit in the #1 wild card spot just 6 points back of the Canes.  Buffalo is in the #2 wild card position, 5 points up on Philly and 6 on the Devils, so any of those 3 teams could still claim the final spot and likely face the Rangers in round 1. St. Louis and Detroit are officially off to the golf course and fight for draft position. In the Campbell Conference, Dallas and Montreal are neck and neck for the Orr division lead and San Jose has clinched the #3 seed and wait to see who they will face.  Pittsburgh has a big lead in the Lemieux and likely will clinch that soon, while Florida and Vancouver battle it out for home ice in the 2/3 slots.  Colorado is the #1 wild card right now with a 9 point lead on Boston who sits in the #2 wild card but have Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto all within 4 points and breathing down their necks for the final playoff spot. Los Angeles is mathematically alive, but just barely and currently hold the top spot in the lottery.

Block 10 is ready to begin, rosters moves have been made and the updated league file and Excel file are 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 10 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 5 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 5 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 start 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 1/24/2022.

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 5 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 5 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.
