Nice story, thanks for sharing. Despite my various efforts at keeping this timeline at least somewhat close to the historical, the Sens are a total anomaly - not one of the main guys from the 1970 squad is where they were IRL. Which is almost certainly why they are doing so much better than IRL, although I doubt they'll see this through.
