whatifsports daily competition

https://www.whatifsports.com/locker/

its a website that has a free version that allows you to sim a hockey game between past nhl teams .

friendly competition

someone names a team to get the competition started . I'll be the first and choose the 2013-2014 islanders that had a 34-37 win-loss record

to keep it interesting and fair we must pick a team that only had at best equal wins / losses for that particular season so that none of us are picking a dynasty era team . For example , a record of 35 wins 35 losses 12 ties would be alright and so would something like 30 wins 40 losses 12 ties .

so roll up your sleeves before submitting your challenge to ensure team you choose is at or below .500 in wins-losses for the particular season you choose (nevermind ties/so losses)

I'll post link to the play by play boxscore of result

heres and example of a boxscore 2013-14 isles v.s 1975-76 scouts . Isles won 5-0

fav part of boxscore
Penalty: 2 minute penalty on Steve Durbano for roughing
2 minute coincidental penalty on Thomas Hickey (13-14 Islanders) for roughing
That was just ugly!

[butch]

ok , so my 2013-14 isles with a 34-37 record are ready to accept challenge .

I will sim the challenge as soon as I can - if you beat me you are the new king of the castle and will be up against the next challenger

I think I can figure out how to set this up on WiS when challenged. I actually just joined FC dynasty, as it's free, will check it out. Used to play Gridiron Dynasty there, but let that slip a while ago.

[butch]

lol brass bonanza
I'll check back in the morning to see who wants to challenge the 79-80 whalers .

[butch]

alright , no challengers overnight so I'm going to put the washington caps 06-07 who had 28 w , 40 losses up to challenge the 79-80 whalers.

and......whalers win 4-2

''Stoppage: Larry Giroux is down on the ice. Looks like Giroux was just shaken up. He should be able to return.''

stevegamers whalers are 2-0

[Axeman33]

I'll drop a challenge to someone out there. I'll put up my 90/91 Oilers who had a regular season record of 37-37-6. Bring it on!

[butch]

90-91 oilers / axeman v.s 79-80 oilers / stevegamer

The whale win their 3rd in row 7-4 over oilers

box
https://www.whatifsports.com/nhl/pbp...d=0&teamfee=-1

Jordy Douglas (79-80 Whalers) had a breakaway and was pulled down by Chris Joseph (90-91 Oilers)! The referee has awarded 79-80 Whalers a PENALTY SHOT! The crowd is on their feet as Jordy Douglas gets ready to face Bill Ranford head-to-head! Here comes Jordy Douglas across the blue line... Bill Ranford squares up... He shoots, HE SCORES!!!

stevegamer and his current choice of 79-80 whalers are now 3-0

wonder if a young brodeur on a .500 or less njd team from the past cools off blaine stoughton haha .

[PenguinHunter]

I am thinking go to one of Howes Sons to best the old man!

Let’s go with Mark Howe and the Flyers on 1988-89. (36-36-8)

The equipment has hit the ice and the fists are flying. Keith Acton is taking the fight to Mark Howe. Right...right...left...and this one is over. The officials are helping Mark Howe to the box, while Keith Acton is practically doing a victory lap on his way to the bin.

79-80 whalers / stevegamer 4 wins in a row .....
