Folks - I can't sim today because a team doesn't have enough players due to an injury.

I can appreciate that the sim is putting more injuries in the AHL but in this case the team is running with the bare minimum number of forwards and defensemen at both the CPHL and AHL level. That means they can't withstand even a single injury at either level. Right now they have a dman out which means the software won't allow me to sim at all. And I can't even move a forward to defense because then the same team will be short up front.

So I'm stuck. The only alternative is to make the injured player healthy manually but since they are a bubble CPHLer and current NHLer that doesn't seem fair.

We need people to start managing their rosters more carefully. This is part of the game. Injuries are part of the game. Teams should be built to withstand a couple injuries. If a team has a real bad run where 4 or 5 guys are out we will step in and do something to help them. But one injury shouldn't cause this.

So for today - no games.

In a related note - someone trade Philly a blueliner so we can have games tomorrow.
