A couple of years ago on this blog, I did a dynasty/franchise/whatever you want to call it with the Los Angeles Kings. I’d chronicle the season month by month, including statistics, line changes, injuries, and other transactions. Seeing as I am taking a year off school, I have some extra time for those things again this year. A couple of people told me they enjoyed reading them, so I’m going to start those up again.
However, this year will be different. I’ll be doing a NFL dynasty along with an NHL one. For the NFL, I’ve already selected the Houston Texans, a team that has never made they playoffs in their existence. They have a solid division in terms of video game players, so I think it would be fun. Also, I’m already using the Bills and 49ers in my online franchises. Ergo, my teams are already off the table.
The problem I have is the NHL side. I don’t know which team to be. I haven’t done a GM Mode in NHL 12, so part of me wants to be my team, the Leafs. I just don’t always have the heart to make the necessary trades to make them better.
This is where you guys come in. I’ll be taking suggestions for which NHL team to be. Since there is a planned PSN outage tomorrow, I’ll be starting this thing on the morning of Friday November 18, 2011. So, what team should I be?

I think it was a fantastic idea by the NHL to have new Senior Vice President of Player Safety and Hockey Operations Brendan Shanahan release a video explaining the recent suspension of Jody Shelley for his late hit on Maple Leafs forward Darryl Boyce. It gives an insight and explanation into the suspension and the length, something that the NHL has been recently criticized about regarding consistency. If he continues to do this during the entire season as rumours suggests, it will provide an unprecedented level of access and understanding into the policing of hockey. Good on the NHL for this.
