Agreed.

Ok, one thing I can't stand is when people speak for me. David, I appreciate your desire to get the streaks back, but please, don't use me or my orginization to promote your cause.
My team is probably in the shape it's in because of streaks and slumps. A suck team like mine is just as likely to fall victim to the -2 Monley Virus that could bite yours. And can you honestly tell me that if I have the same # of guys slumping as you do, I stand a chance of beating you? (Using last years teams as my benchmark in this argument)
Not likely.

While I agree that we should vote on issues like this, let's leave the campaigning until next off-season. The issue has been decided for NSHL7. Let it rest.

Well, as someone that has had a lengthy career in another hls league, and missed the playoffs despite having a 32-28-20 record (finished w/ 84 points tied with the 4th place team), I'd like to think I know what I'm missing in the streaks.
Again, I want to see Trev keep voting year in and year out. It's damned important.
