The National Strat-O-Matic Hockey League Newsletter League established May 1, 1997 Volume #6, Issue #12 - March 22, 2002 ************************************************************************** Current League Officers: Commissioner: Doug Norris (303-492-3493) Vice-Commissioner: Dean Engemoen Email List Administator: Steve Kramer Email the whole league: mailto:nshl@thalia.org NSHL Chat List: mailto:nshlchat@thalia.org Web Page Administrator: Patrick Shea League Web Site: http://www.geocities.com/nshlweb/ ************************************************************************** FIRST THINGS, FIRST: I *need* your Computer Managers by the end of Monday, March 25. Things to remember (and things that were a problem this biweek): * Remember to send me both your home *and* road CMs. * Remember to take care of your injuries in your CMs. * If you have multiple CMs, make sure that each is listed in the filename as to how it should be used. For example: SEA09vsSESatVANatSES.mgr would be the Rainiers' CM vs. the Sasquatch, at Vancouver, and at the Sasquatch. Thanks for your help and patience - Doug ************************************************************************** GOALTENDER FATIGUE: Note that, although I haven't been paying too much attention to goaltender fatigue over the first part of the season - assuming and trusting that you'd be watching out for yourselves - the computer game is not so forgiving, and it was noticed while I simmed games this biweek. In other words, *please* watch your goaltender fatigue. ************************************************************************** WEEK SEVEN/EIGHT IN REVIEW: The Buffalo Bulldogs continue to lead the league in points; however, their fortunes may be dimmed somewhat by injuries to their top two centers - Mario Lemieux and Saku Koivu, both of whom will be out for an extended period. ************************************************************************** OH NO! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS! Especially during these two biweeks, you might find that (particularly in the case of goaltenders) you don't have enough players to complete your games. Here's what to do: 1) Find someone to sign. They must have six games played remaining, since you have to dress a player for six games in the following biweek. This player can also not be someone that was released in the "current" newsletter (since I'll make *your* signing retroactive). 2) Choose someone to release, from your roster. 3) Let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'll make the changes to the league file. 4) Make the changes to your copy of the league file, compose your CMs, and send 'em to me. ************************************************************************** BEREN OFFICIALLY NAMES TEAM "NEW YORK LANCERS" Steve Beren, owner of the fourth 2002 NSHL expansion team, officially named his team on Saturday. The name, suggested by Matt Norris (no relation), will be the "New York Lancers". Beren has yet to announce where his team will play their home games, but it will presumably be somewhere in New York state. The Lancers, Greensboro Gunners, and two as-yet unnamed teams will join the league for the 2002-03 regular season. ************************************************************************** NEW LEAGUE FILE: The new league file, ready for Week 9/10 action, is available at http://math.colorado.edu/~norrisdt/NSHL.zip and will be periodically updated throughout the biweek. ************************************************************************** WEEK SEVEN/EIGHT RESULTS: Manayunk 1, at Brooklyn 5 BRK Olaf Kolzig -
