[quote name='Vulcan2422']I believe I improved alot this year, I really don't take nearly that many penalties. I believe Alan and a few others can confirm this as well for me.

You are still leading the team in that category...but you're right, it's closer
That said, I'd like to report Gary and I just got done playing 5 games. In the first one, we both played D and let the AI run wild. We ended up outshooting our opponent like 29 - 15, but lost 1-0. In the 2nd game, I decided I should join the forward line to try to help them out. Apparently, this intimidated our opponents so much, they quit with 8 minutes left in the 1st period, and we were given a 3-0 DNF WIN.
The 3rd game, we once again outshot our opponents by a large number and doubled them in time on attack, but once again, we were shut out, and our AI goalie gave up some crap goals. That's when I mentioned to Gary that the "aggressive AI strategy" seems to work better with a human goalie. So, for the 4th game, he took goal, and I played center. Against a team of 4, the result was a 5-0 win for the Seckz Panthers!
Sticking to our positions, in the 5th game, I scored 2 early goals on nice passes from the AI, and got my hat trick late in the 2nd. After that, we kinda slacked off, and the other team pulled within 3-2 late in the 3rd period. But we held them off and escaped with the victory. So, winning 3 out of 5 games with just Gary and me doesn't seem too shabby. Our record now stands at 18-24-4. The march back to .500 continues!
