RSHL PRESEASON

With Cashpuck ending last night, its time to announce the start of the preseason. At the end of this week, the schedule should will be up with games starting Sunday May 19th. This gives teams 2 more weeks to get closer to filling up and a target date for this waiting till last minute to join a team.

Teams/Captains still need to fill out their availabilities on the team management tools. Also a good time to finish up and turn in team arenas, although its not a requirement to have one.

I'm still trying to put together something for the course of the season together. Whether weekly highlights, interviews, game of the week review, or something else for everyone to enjoy. If you have any ideas, or just want to help out, feel free to forum PM or bug me in game.

So mainly, RSHL starting up soon and captains need to set their avails! Hope to have a smooth and fun season, if you have any questions, I'm usually around to answer them so feel free.

sad edit: why does my title always disappear for announcement :(

	1st	2nd	3rd	Final
The Abusement Park	3	6	0	6
Lawlygaggers	1	3	1	4

Total game time: 36:00

The Abusement Park had pretty much all of the momentum in this game. They started strong in the first period and laid it into the Lawlygaggers even moreso into the second period.

Right before the second period ended the zone crashed for 15 minutes and by the time everything was resituated it didn't really change the flow of the game that much. TAP was pretty content to just holding their 3 goal lead and would only give up one goal in the 3rd period to hold onto the win. The game didn't really feel as close as what the final scores suggests.

The final game of Cashpuck will be played this coming Sunday.

	1st	2nd	3rd	Final
Lawlygaggers	0	2	2	4
The Abusement Park	1	1	0	2

Total game time: 36:00

Both teams would play very cautiously in the first period and neither team would even register a shot on goal for the first seven minutes. At the nine minute mark, jalrix would score to the bottom of the net with a head fake to cocain who was heading up.

The second period would open up quite a bit more with Kozzy getting two early goals. Superdan put up a strong effort in the nets for Lawlygaggers but he would be distracted by some speccers and Bla would slip one past to tie the game up 2-2.

The third period was pretty even back and forth action and the game was looking like it would head into OT. However, with under two minutes left J-walking had the puckball and would see Rage posting up with a slap shot on the top and Rage buried a beauty of a shot with an inside dink right before going in to give the Lawlygaggers the 3-2 lead. The Abusement Park won the ensuing faceoff, then would lose possession, and finally would be taken the other way and Navee would score the final goal to put in the dagger.

TNT looked great on paper but when the backed into a room with heavy blast doors, a few of there dynamite personalitys did not even show up...

Game ends a 2-0 mercy despite generous referee stalling.

TAP advance.

With Cashpuck coming to a close soon, its time to ramp up the start of Season 20 RSHL. Looking back it seems we aren't too far off of where we started season 19. I've already spoken to quite a few captains about returning teams and I'm please we have most of the teams returning. Those teams are currently listed under the Rosters page, though you might have to do some navigation to Preseason 20 to find/join your teams until the menus are updated and ready to move on from last season/offseason event.

There's two new teams joining this season so far that brings us to a total of 10. If you plan on making a new team, or still plan on returning (*COUGH*DirtyBirds*COUGH*), leave SuperDan a forum PM with team name and a few players already recruited to your team. If you are new, be sure to include some artwork as well. If I remember correctly, the dimensions are 256x32 and 32x32.

We have a new Head Ref this season, Trick-. I can't think of anyone better for the position so for those of you who are looking to contribute back to the zone a little bit and help out the reffing situation, please leave him a forum PM and he will get back to you about what he would like/expect from you. We're are looking for a little more from the refs this season regarding game reports and the such.

Kula will help out as the League Scheduler and Slartibartfast is returning as the Appeals Coordination.

Pheef and Banansquadron will also be helping me out with LC duties as assistants and with good communication, we should all be on the same page to help answer questions or deal with whatever arises should one of us not be around.

Depending how well/quick the rosters fill out will determine how quick we start up the preseason/season following cashpuck. I'm not quite sure if Arnk is planning to tweak settings too much, but if that's the case, it will be announced and more than likely tested throughout the preseason. Cashpuck finals should start I'd hope next week and given a little time for rosters to fill up, preseason will be right around the corner so gather the troops and start pubbing/scrimming it up in preparation.

As of right now there shouldn't be any huge rule changes, just some some clarifications to be fixed up, anything major will be posted about here, or within captains forums.

Lastly, if you have any feedback, feel free to Forum PM and let me know. Any concerns or thoughts are more than welcomed and won't be over looked. I'm looking forward to another great and successful RSHL season and hope everyone enjoys!

TAP ties series at 1-1 after a double OT win. TNT almost ended it in first overtime but a close call Crease from WIR was determined. Next win will see who gets a chance at the cheaters of CP with no cap/salary, Lawlygaggers, in the finals.

Total game time: 36:00

This game had the makings of another mercy victory as the Lawlygaggers would score the first 6 goals of the game. However, at the end of the second period the Cancers would score two quick goals to end the second period 6-2.

The Lawlygaggers seemed pretty content to just milking the 3rd period out and David decided to give them a free goal to put them up 7-2. There was plenty of chances at more goals, but the post was victorious and the Cancers would only muster two more goals.

Lawlygaggers have a lot of things going for them right now heading into the finals. Superdan has been playing some strong blackie cup style goalie. Their defense is by committee usually so no one in particular but their whole unit is playing well together. On Offense Rage is not only still fusion dancing with himself, but he also has the Potara earrings and upped his power level to SSJ4. Besides Rage, the rest of the team has pretty strong chemistry and is able to read what each other is going to do fairly well.

And with all that being said, they will likely still be the underdogs to either TNT or TAP in the finals. One thing is for sure, the Lawlygaggers will be in big trouble if their stars miss the game/lag as their depth is fairly weak compared to the other two teams they will be facing.

A pretty high shot count for both teams for a fairly low scoring game for Cashpuck standards. Black Dynamite was the victor in the ball control aspect of the game which lead to many more opportunities. This is a stat that has usually favored The Abusement Park throughout the event. TAP will need to get back to playing their fundamental defense and be more opportunistic on offense for the next meeting.

PS. I have decided on the above seedings because it comes to goal differential between TAP/LWL/ESS, but TAP has a forfeit loss to LWL, screwing with 3 way differentials and making them forfeit the tiebreaker. ESS beat LWL in their matchup, earning the higher seed. But we'll stick with what we have for this round. :(

Lawlygaggers	0	3	2	5
Seawolves	1	2	0	3

Total game time: 36:00

This game was going to be a forfeit but Lawlygaggers got their 4th on at the last minute.

Seawolves spent the first period playing catch with goalie J-Walking but couldn't get any points. That is until P*RNSTAR unafkd and joined in the last minute. Instant negative impact (sry evan) as Seawolves would finally break through to take the 1-0 lead.

The second period is where things got interesting as Rage went SSJ and did the fusion dance with himself to take the team on his shoulders. He scored the equalizing goal early in the period and set up juvi to take the lead within the next minute. Trick and puker would have no more of this and both scored towards the middle of the period to regain the lead. juvi would score to tie the game up before period end.

Superdan decided to come online just before the 3rd period and would make this game 6v6. That would aid in spelling the doom for Seawolves as they just weren't clicking as they were to get them to the #1 seed. A pair of goals by Rage and juvi in the third period would end the game.

1st Star: Rage (Leading the offense single handedly)
2nd Star: J-Walking (Strong goaltending to stall the game long enough for more allies to come online)
3rd Star: juvi (Mostly good job at not messing up Rage's offense)
Wooden Spoon: Kozzy (Guy was playing multiple hours earlier and vanishes before game time)

	1st	2nd	Final

Total game time: 16:05

Essence wanted to forfeit the game before it even started with only showing four. Calibri decided to show up a few minutes before the game would be called so the game could be played 5v6.

It was a pretty close game in the first period with both goalies, Infi and Boogieman, playing well to keep the game at 0's.

However, Essence lost their momentum in the second period and Calibri eventually lagged out and wouldn't be able to return.

This game was the 4th straight win of the lower seeded team to start the Cashpuck playoffs.

	1st	2nd	3rd	Final
Cashpuck Cancers	2	3	3	8

Toddlers would only show five to this game. Cancers were able to goof off most of the game and slowly build up a lead before the game got out of control.

Only thing notable was Linix would have a monster effort with 37 saves.
