If Leksand deserves the spot in Elite, they'll win the qualifiers, surely.

After banning CQ, something must be done about goalie abilities. Sure, you can say you can run a sniper build or dump points in shots, but the fact is you NEED those points for speed and acceleration because that's what the meta is. You need chances first to even attempt to score goals. The same logic could be applied to goalies if their abilities were banned: if you want to save snipes, put points in glove/blocker high. They don't have to make such a decision now. Goalies are already terribly OP on straight snipes from the slot. I don't necessarily think the difference will be as major as people are making it out to be, but if we're going to start banning abilities we should do it the right way.

I don't really care what happens, but do not, under any circumstances, ban elite edges.

First of all, there are 16 teams in Elite, not 8. And yes, like I said in my message I do think it's fine because it's the only way to ensure the integrity of the competition. That, or expand the divisions. If we go down that road of logic, it's "unfair" that Lite has a prize pool at all considering we're talking about the 49th best team in Europe with the Lite winner. In what other esport is that possible? Elite has to remain the crown jewel that teams aspire to reach.

Surely people realize that if the prize pool in the lower divisions was higher, the top teams would just drop down in divisions? The player fees go into a general pool anyway to accommodate everything that SG is doing and are not marked to a specific division. At least that's how I see it. Would it be fine if we merged the Elite and Pro divisions to "justify" the prize pool in the highest league? The only way it would change things is (probably) that the Elite teams would still populate the finishing places with a prize pool. Before anyone chimes in saying I play in Elite and that somehow makes my points moot: we're not exactly favorites to touch the money at the moment. All in all I think it's a good thing to monetize what SG is doing to ensure the future of this operation that we've enjoyed for free for far too long. Sorry if someone quotes me and I don't reply, as I've tried to keep my mouth shut about this as debates devolve into playground insults in this community far too often. Mea culpa for that partially as well. Edit: I do understand the frustration for players in the lower divisions who play for fun, but the fees don't take that away from you. You can still play EASHL if you think the fee is too high. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. These (higher) fees have been mandatory for players in the higher divisions for some time.

JYP Jyväskylä IN: @xAaro89x from FILA Academy Starting LW Welcome! 🤗

I might be a bit biased here considering I'm a forward, but these are Grade A scoring chances that should be going in some of the time even if the goalie is positioned correctly. 🤐

JYP is looking for a starting LD and starting OR 1A/1B goalie for the upcoming game NHL22. Most of the time we play from Sunday to Thursday. We rarely (if at all) play Fri or Sat. We're looking for - and we cannot stress this enough - for players that are willing to commit for the full year. Otherwise, we aren't interested. Contact indi969 or tbnantti on PSN, Discord or here on NHLGamer. Reasons behind the message: Sandro can only play a few times a week. Swag has recently moved and his internet connection is not stable. That's why he didn't play in FCL. Sile has informed us we are free to look for a starting LD to replace him as he can't commit to the level of activity required atm.

Another very soft punishment by NHLGamer regarding the same topic. But hey, at least it's more than what @Patzlaf got for using the n-word on stream, I guess. Which was no punishment. 😲

I'm sure everyone knows but IN: JYP @Xteemuz from hREDS @vSilenttio from Roots OUT: @MakeaxlMake exercised his option to make his loan to Enigma a permanent transfer @xDoumi Doumi exercised his option to terminate his contract after ECL11 JYP would like to thank our former players for their services.

Matchfixing? If some teams want to fix a match it doesn't matter what system is used. If you're referring to the fact that both teams would be content with securing 1p to clinch a playoff spot or whatever, both the 2-1-0 and 3-2-1-0 allow that and it's fairly common in pro sports -> teams go into the match with a more defensive mindset. I think suggesting someone will fix a match is a bit farfetched.

I calculated last season's regular season standings with the 3-2-1-0 system back when this was last discussed. 1. LHC 75 2. JYP 74 3. HAVU 74 4. hREDS 57 5. UB 51 6. Brayce 47 7. Roots 47 8. FBK 39 9. Vesa 38 10. KOVA 37 11. Ghetto 35 12. SJ 34 13. Checkmate 33 14. Luleå 30 15. Gotham 29 16. AF 20 If you compare the standings to the actual ECL10 standings, you can see that not a whole lot changed. The same 8 teams would have made the playoffs and the same teams would have occupied the relegation spots. The only anomaly in the standings is Checkmate, who actually finished 9th with 9 wins in OT out of their 13 wins. I'm sure you could replicate these results with the previous seasons as well, so it doesn't really make a difference.

Yeah the X360 menu was way better.

I don't care either way, I'll buy whichever console the scene is on. However, having played through two different generations both on the 360 side and the PS4 side of things, I do think XBL is a vastly superior service to PSN. On the subjective side of things, my all time favorite controller has been the 360 one, and I do think they took a step back by making the Xbox One sticks too tall and hard as a diamond. I had an Xbox One for a while and ended up shaving the skin off my thumbs with the pattern they have on the sticks. Although I guess one could say you don't have to ram the sticks like they owe you money. #softthumbsconfirmed EDIT: @Juizki you do know about the quick menu that you can bring up by holding down on the PS button, right?

Could you elaborate on this? The playoffs would still work the same way. The major advantage of finishing first comes to play in the semifinal match-ups, not in the first round.

No they could not.

Oh and another thing, what would be even more stupid is that with the 3-point system a team could go through the regular season unbeaten and not finish first. 🤕

Winning the regular season massively improves your chances of winning the title.

Best post in this thread right here.

I don't really care which way points are counted as the better teams will still prevail and the worse teams won't. I don't really know if the assumption that "teams play it safe" is correct either. If it is an even match-up with teams battling for the same position, why would you want to give points to the opponent rather than deny them of points by winning in regular time? And if the skill gap is bigger (top vs bottom), the worse team would still try to salvage at least a point. One solid argument for a 3p win is that there would be the same amount of points up for grabs in each game, regardless of whether or not it goes to OT. But as I said, I'm indifferent on the topic.
