Preses relīzes

Hi guys, I just started today, I am familiar with hockey managers for the most part. (I play 4 of em online), but since I am new to this one, this might be a stupid question, is it customary to lose most of the games during the first season or first couple of seasons? and second, how can you choose your lines? I read the guide and in-game its pretty convoluted in my opinion.

Thanks in advance
