I already know that Tampax Bay won the bleedin’ Cup. If you’re not going to show news about the Expansion Draft, free agents signings, buyouts, I want throwback games. Of course it would be a bonus if Kelly Nash was doing the news in a swim costume; naked would be better! Rant over for now. The cup was awarded less than two weeks ago... Chill.

seagoal Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 sup everyone? Been out for a few days with food poisoning. Ugh. What did I miss? Last I saw was Thatcarguy's new set, Southpawtendy's new bucket, both are sweet. Had to miss my game last night but my team still won 3-2, missing 2 leading scorers, starting goalie, and our 2nd best D. Pretty ecstatic to see them pull out the good-depth win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just now, coopaloop1234 said: You sure you're in the right Div? Those are some high scores. Excellent question. Our first 3 or 4 games of our seasons seeding games, of course. There are rough divisions set and then you play higher and lower leading up to the final divisions. Standard stuff. Our goal for this team from the start was 4b or 4c. They started us in 5a, so a couple of those high score wins were against 5b teams. As of now we are still in 5a. Our shot ratios are consistently 2:1 and we score a good bit. We want to be in 4 for sure, but we can only do so much with waiting for the league to advance us. So far I've played well, let in 1 bad goal, and 2 iffy "want that one back" goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming games have a poor flow to them and you're often left with periods of no action? Sprinkle in some shooters who's shots are quite below your standard and will fool you with how terrible they are? Sounds familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the 9-1 game I was relaxed and comfortable the whole time without any edge or intensity. They've all been fun, to be honest. The 1 bad goal was game 1 or 2 and I blame the new red gear, ha. It was a functionality error on my part, still getting used to the stuff. Many of our games were pretty tight until the 3rd, thankfully, so they've stayed intense and edgy for me. I know what you mean though with the last point. I was talking to a new goalie in our league recently about how if you are say a div 4 goalie, playing in div 5 is more difficult than playing in div 3. It's a thing, for sure.

That's a strange way to do it. One league I play out of here is a bit bottom heavy, most divs have 5-8 teams, bottom one has 13-14. But the skill level among the bottom guys are all so close that they decided to stick them all together instead of trying to split it up.

Div 8 is where adult learn-to-play students end up. So it works out where 1-2 are advanced, 3-4 are high intermediate, 5-6 are low intermediate, 7-8 are beginner. That's how we formally designate divisions. It ends up almost like a perfect bell curve in terms of number of teams. Most in the center.
