It happened to us twice last year where the match-up was bad and our opponents took all the goals and we couldn't get any and the score was 0. Should it happen..... NO will it happen..... probably some teams won't play the same 'game' as others.
Why thank you for quoting me. Thats a first here. No one knows why you would want a negative score. But here goes why. The primary reason S.P.A.M. got picked to be someones alliance partner was because we demonstrated time and time again that very few teams could consistently deliver results with a combination of high speed and high traction to essentially dominate on the field. The key is consistency. If this/these team(s) can consistently show that you can give your opponents a negative score, I would seriously consider you as an alliance partner in the finals as a potential strategy. This demostration of a team's ability to consistently to perform a task often is a part of the criteria for pucking. While we at S.P.A.M. have never had the chance to pick our alliance partners as we have not ever seeded high enough, but we know why we're picked. And our ability to perform consistently was it.
