i know that already.

But Netherland needs a 5-2 record to go on... So either they'll CT us, and then CT you again, with whatever Enthousiasme they have left, or they'll just keep it for you guy's, hoping that you go 6-0.

But face it. If Czech beat russians by a 60 point difference, what hope have the other teams got of winning against you?

remember, russians and Czeches faced eachother with equal enthousiasme ( both 5 at the time of the game). When Belgium and Netherlands face you, you'll have TIEd all games, and we'll have atleast played a few normals...

Netherlands are slightely more fortunate with the schedule because they face you in the last game, and have a chance of facing a certain TIE...

Nederland can risk match against you on normal or TIE-TIE and play just with little bit lower enthusiasm against us. Russia risked tactic against us, so it probably enlarged the difference (it was 49 not 60) and matches with enthusiasm 5-5 also look completelly differerent than matches on 9-9 end higher.

game over.

http://www.hockey.de/VVI-web/vvi-events/Ticker.asp?lang=1...

I was hoping that we could follow our Belgian National Hockey team by beating the russians. And if i look at the ratings, we should have won it.

But i guess that the Russians wanted revanche for it, and they have ended the poule games. For Belgium to stand a chance, we would have to beat the Netherlands ( which isn't an easy task) AND we would have to beat the Czechs on their own court ( Mission Impossible). The russians would have to lose against Romania, and Romania would have to lose against the Netherlands. In that scenario, we could advise, provided that we got the better goal average with obvliously isn't going to happen... to many if's in that scenario.

So it all ends here. All we can do now is try and secure our 3rd spot to prevent a slide on the NT rankings list. It was a dissapointing loss, but we knew that it wasn't going to be an easy task. We didn't lose our chances for qualification against Russia... The match that we never should have lost was the match against Romania...

It all went pretty good untill Fleeton got into faul trouble. From their on, the game went downhill. Dissapointing preformance from Mees also, but he can't be blamed for it. He was one of the very few players from our squad that wasn't in proficient shape. We gave it our all. Their was no way we could have played in a better/different way. You might be able to argue that we should have played with more enthousiasme against Romania to win that game, but that still wouldn't have guaranteed a victory.

it's dissapointing to see things end like this, after the previous 2 seasons...

it will be a short NT season this time around, where i'll be able to try out some new things after the qualifier. Things that i wasn't able to try out earlier due to the long seasons.

i guess it's learn from your mistakes and don't make em again next season...

i'll still try and win a maximum of games, to get belgium to atleast the 3rd spot in this qualifier.

I'm not sure how other potential NT player are being trained right now, but if we have 7 or 8 more dedicated managers like me, you will get a heck of a NT team in about 4 seasons. ;)

Hope you can get some comfort out of that.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

biggest problem is salary in most cases.

In terms of guards, you'll be looking at 120k minimum. one player like that is doable in II, but you have to watch his minutes, which makes it hard.

in terms of C's, you'r looking at minimum tripple 16's with SB 10 (194k) or quadruple 15's (182k) and i'm not considering any secundairies in those calculations.

a top II team can carry 400 to 450k salary.

a C in II is barely doable. in III, it's consumes nearly your entire economy... So having dedicated managers help. But at some point, they are going to have to go to a II or BBBL team, because they can't keep up salary wise.

For SF's, you could make on hell of an SF for 100k or even a bitt lower (HA and Dr don't cost alot but make SF's alot stronger) but making SF's takes alot of time and need alot of changing of training... ( one week they are PG's, next week they are C's, ... isn't easy to do).

Anyhow, i've got one heck of a team. Yesterday's game was an eye opener aswell, since i've discovered some strange things that i'll be addressing in the scrimmages aswell to see if it would confirm my theory or not ( i can't write em down here, since it would give away to much info on the NT players skills and that as both for the NT and as NT coaches responsibility, it is better that they are known to an as little ammount of people as possible).

And altho i like being NT coach, i'm already part of the NT staff for 7 seasons and doing my 5th as NT head coach. I can't remain the coach forever... At some point, someone else will be NT coach. The community gets to decide on things. So it all depends if they'll want me back again after this term.

But that is stuff for the end of season 18 :P first, i gotta make the most out of the remaining season and the consolation tourney next season.

true, but I wouldn't worry on that. I know someone who is taking care of that already.

well, I still have van Eckhout, who is getting a decent share of training as well...

he is VERY similar to Sammy, except that he missed 1 week training due to injury, and his JS is significantly lower then Sammy's, so he'll always limp behind on that skill.

For the rest he is about the same, so as back up, he will be more then decent.

That is if you wouldn't find a second SF from somewhere else...

LoD,

you got to explain me something about GS. Ottevaere's minutes:

48
48
63
48

and still GS 7. How is this possible? Ottevaere has received perfect minutes. Nearly my entire team is in top shape, except for my SF. he just won't budge... And it's starting to annoy me that i can't use him in the NT...

just bad luck !

I wouldn't bench him for it. you can be certain the 7 will be very close to 8, so there no reason to let a lesser player play which has GS8.
Also, when the other player has 9, he should be a lot less good either, it's likely there's only 1,2 levels diffrence between a 9 and Otto, which in the end, isn't THAT high, unless both players are equally good in skills.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

i can't believe my eyes!

first off, we defended like a bot today! we allowed 96 points from a team who's top player is near 60k. we had 3x the salary on each position. It's ashaming! But atleast we made 146 points and got a good point average out of it.

with the very surprizing defeats of Russia ( by the hands of Sakartvelo no less!) and of the roumains ( by the hands of the Netherlands) we got 5 teams with 2 wins and 2 losses, of which the Belgiums have the best goal average. But Both Belgium and Netherlands still need to face eachother and need to face the czechs, and knowing that the Netherlands are facing the Czechs last, that means that our calender remains the toughest one.

anyone with a 5-2 record now will get the 2nd ticket to the european championship. but as it looks now, we might be in for a ending where 4 teams end with a 4-3 record!

Anyhow, the good news is that we got our own qualification in our own hands, and that is the best news we've had so far in this qualifier.
