My hockey card...

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.
Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.
Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.
The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.
With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

156 days ago Depressing. Why are hospitals so depressing? The walls. The blankets. The Johnny coats… Pills. I need pills. Great, here comes Dr…..well, I don’t remember her name. Dr. Burke: “Good morning Larry, how are you?” Me: “Oh, super doc. Two thumbs up!” Dr. Burke: “Ok, sarcasm levels are up from yesterday. Do you remember why you’re here?” Me: “Yes” Dr. Burke: “You took too many pain killers, tried to buy a hamburger with no money, and collapsed in a policeman’s arms. We pumped your stomach, you must have had quite the party” Me: “Guess so.” Dr. Burke: “Your sister tells me this has been an ongoing problem. And after yesterday’s incident, you have two choices.” Me: “My sister is a drama queen, and a busy body…” Dr. Burke: “You have two choices Larry, jail or rehab.” Me: “Jail? For wanting a hamburger?” Dr. Burke: “No, for wanting a hamburger without having any money, causing a disturbance, and for the other similar infractions on your record.” Me: “I don’t need rehab.” Comment

Our home opener. Finally. I get to play in front of our fans. Peoria is in town. I really want to play well tonight in front of our fans. At least nobody screamed that I suck during the pregame warmup. Let’s get this show on the road. There’s no scoring through 40 minutes. Both Pavelec and Marek Schwarz are playing well. Peoria scores midway through the 3rd period, it would be the only goal of the game, as they win 1-0. I’m starting to realize that this team can’t score. Looks like it is made up with a bunch of grinders and jobbers. How can a team like Atlanta be so bad for so long and not have better players in their system? This makes getting to the NHL a bit tougher.

154 days ago Well, here I am. Rehab. Apparently I have an addiction to painkillers. I’m supposed to hang out here for the next couple of months and pretend to get better from a problem I don’t even have? I don’t know, but it beats jail. Group chats. Pathetic. Listen to a buncha people crying about their “problems” and what they did to themselves and the people they loved. Gimme a break. Comment

Thanks guys. This is still going, but is second fiddle to my Wings dynasty. I should have another update later today. When I was starting this, I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a center or offensive defenseman, I think I should have went with the D man, but oh well...I'm still enjoying it. Comment

Thanks for following. I know I said a few posts up that I would have an update today, but my daughter's daycare just called and she is sick so I am going to pick her up now. No updates today. Sorry. Comment

Early in the second period, we’re on the powerplay. Stevenson has the puck along the boards, he dishes a pass out to me and I wire the puck past Tjordman to tie the game at 1.
