EHM The Blue Line

Hi,
I play with the Canadiens and I'm in 2010-2011 season. Every year I make move and try to increase my team and I always battle for a playoff spot or more. But I just notice that the Toronto Maple Leafs had never make the playoffs yet. It's so weird because they made some good moves to bring on some big names(Martin St-Louis, Ed Jovanovski, Dany Heatley) but it never seems to work. Nothing good is getting out of that organization.

Also, in 4 seasons, they get the first pick twice and the second once (Angelo Esposito). They almost get a thrid first round pick too but they make a very bad move... with me!!!:)) This was the year of John Tavares and the draft was held in Toronto. The Leafs won the Draft lottery... again! So.. as a smart GM I made a trade proposition to my archrivals to make sure they don't get the NExt Bid Thing (Tavares) by offering them my first round pick of that year and the next year + my 2nd pick of that year + a prospect... and they accepted!! So I get John Tavares and the Leafs are still 15th in the East battling for 14 th with the Isles in late november.

What about you guys, which team is the worst of your game??

The Leafs dead last? Not really a surprise IMO

I don't remember having a team doing such pathetic work in my games... Even the Leafs reached the playoffs several times! (But didn't won the Cup, don't abuse! )

Columbus is always terrible in my games. They never make any good signings, but they still always hold onto Zherdev and Nash.

St. Louis also isn't usually very good.

I tend to notice that the Coyotes are always pretty bad in my games.

For me, it's always the Red Wings that goes down... Usually after a couple of seasons they are last in the Western Conference after lousy drafting and bad trades...

The Bruins never seem to do well in my games unless I'm controlling them. They always make bonehead moves. Even when they have good players they seems to mismanage them.

I've seen all sorts of teams do well though. One game when I wasn't playing in the NHL I saw the Maple Leafs win the Cup. Of course, they also won when I was controlling them. In games when I've gone all the way to the Stanley Cup finals, I've seen teams like Columbus and Phoenix actually make it there as well. I never would've figured I'd see them there. I've also seen Chicago in the finals, maybe in the second season.

I guess with the randomness of the trades and injuries in the game, every dog can have it's day. It's just not too common for the Bruins to be that dog.

For me the suckies team has to be Islanders... They cant do anything right. Always are in the last places and stuff.

Yeah, the Islanders are a team I rarely see do well in any of the games that I play.

BTW, I notice you're new. Why don't you go introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" thread?

For me, it's always the Canes that goes down.. with Red Wings and Islanders.
E.Staal alone cannot turn things around (C.Ward was traded in 2008). Also, the Bruins never seem to do well until 2011 when they have signed R.Luongo.
