Just finishing the tuning. I am also going to use opening night rosters, so I will put Smolenak etc on the Hawks. This probably won't start until next week since I have to prep for interviews and stuff over the weekend.

Game Notes
- Lots of goals...but they were all legit which means it is most likely a timing issue. I'm still tweaking and in the end it'll all even out
- Kane is so much faster than anyone else on the ice. He made a ton of nice plays and had a couple goalposts.
- Florida looked tired by the third period, I'm not sure if that's a part of the game but I'll be interested to see if they put in a better effort at home.
