Right after the trade I decided to take a break and I didn't know that I was playing the Capitols the next game.
I beat them 3-1 and the Boogeyman got into countless fights.

Has anyone ever gotten this? I didn't go to the "Complain About Referee" button in Board Confidence. This was the result about appeal a suspension. I've never gotten this message. It must have to do with the high number of suspensions I've appealed (and had most overturned).

Yeah, I've had it. I usually appeal if one of my key players gets suspended, and sometimes it seems they're the only ones.
It happens if you keep appealing and getting turned down.
Not sure how to find out if the appeal even has a chance of getting thru though. Does anyone know?

Actually, my appeals work about 90% of the time. I get a news item saying that the league has revoked the suspension. I have noticed that as time has gone on and my reputation as a GM has improved, they've actually sided with me on my appeals more. My reputation hasn't affected my regular complaining about the refs. They just say that they side with the refs in that instance.

So appealing is based on manager reputation?
Interesting.

I'm pretty sure it helps. I notice they agree with my appeals a lot more now that I'm a star GM.

Me too. Especially, cause I was down 3-2, with 5 minutes left in the game.

Boah, it let you one minute to try to tie the game, after killing a 3-on-5 and a 4-on-5 penalties

When i'm down by one, my guys wait for the last 2 minutes to take a penalty, to be sure we'll never come back

Ah, but "LRA" is "Lukko Rauma", I'm the other team, with Blue colors

Oh, then you're a lucky guy

I'm generally on the wrong side of those stupid penalties

Were there any goalies involved in this shootout?

You know, I always wondered how far the shootout would fo... I've had 12-13-14 rounds or so before but never 35 lol.
I didn't a screen of it because it wasn't too special but my Blues beat Detroit 13-3 in the season home opener.. what a way to start the season.

That shootout is pretty crazy, im just surprised that there were so many goals, and then on top of that it was 26-25, good pic

I rarely complain about refs as the league always seems to give you the "Tough Luck" line. But after
Game 1 WCQF I had to say something. 11 PKs and 42 PIMs.

It felt like the Ref was trying to prop up an overmatched team.
So I complained and got
this reaction from the NHL. I guess there is always a first time. They didn't discipline him, but at least they agreed that he did a naff job!

Forsberg.
And Chara started the season on my team but I traded him to sign Pitkanen.
Pitkanen tag teamed with Letang and Petrecki.
