[thatstoobad]

Hey METH,

I signed up for the league on my Xbox. Us 2 are the only ones so far...

[TJordan522]

Wow--pretty nice league page METH. I like the main photo/logo and the prize is pretty cool too.

Thanks for starting a new tournament METH.

All activities will officially start on monday dec. 27th.

[radjago]

Alright, I should be in now.

[TJordan522]

So now everyone is signed in except for BigDirty and Ultimate Matt X.

[METH]

BigDirty said he would sign in late sunday night, as for Ultimate Matt X, haven't got any news from him yet.

[repetske]

If we end up needing another person, I have someone lined up if we need him. He's a huge fan of hockey and this game.

[TJordan522]

Come on guys..sign in so we can get this started.

he's going to have to get a CAG account if he doesn't have one yet.

[repetske]

He has an account. His name is sighlintbob. He hasn't been around the site in a while, but I play Xbox Live with him all the time. His gamertag is Shadowcat. I'll call him Monday morning to get him to sign up.

[Ultimate Matt X]

I'll sign in today if I still got a spot, if not just boot me out and let the other person do it. I think I'm still in by the thread, but who knows I'm lazy.

[Ultimate Matt X]

Okay I'm in. Sorry I was doing Christmas stuff over the last few days and yesterday I was puking my guts out so I wasn't on the Xbox or computer much. :)

[METH]

Alright, round 1 is up. All the details are on page 1 of this thread.

Let's get started !

[CheapyD]

Great prize!
What do you do for Ubisoft?

[TJordan522]

Curse the video game ockey gods who matched me up with thatstoobad!!

[TJordan522]

thatstoobad and I played Game 1.
I won 3-2 in OT, but he dominated most of the game.

thatstoobad, sorry I had to go after that first game. I'll be on later.

[repetske]

Take your time TJordan. The winner of your round has to face the Bulin wall and all his might. He is the master of the wrap-around kick save. Nice series Meth. Also, has anyone noticed how much CheapyD looks like Ali G now? Word. Respect.

BOOYAKASHA !

Yep nice series repetske, and good luck with the tournament... check out the tourney's website : http://leagues.espnvideogames.com/t/league.php?l=67595

Oh I'm taking my time alright. If I were to rush my series I would lose. I need a few hours to recuperate after each game against thatstoobad lol. If I played him again right after I would get slaughtered since I used all of my skill in the previous game.

I will consider myself extremely lucky to face the Bulin wall.

[TJordan522]

Hey METH,

Nice graphic for the Tampa win.
Also, can I have access to create polls and news articles?

Thanks,
Jordan

[METH]

Yea sure, you should have access now.

[repetske]

Lol. That's really nice Meth.

[TJordan522]

I played my second game with thatstoobad. He completely controlled the game, and won 2-0.

Great game thatstoobad. Maybe I can muster up a shot or two next game, lol.

[Ultimate Matt X]

I've contacted my opponent about playing, hopefully we'll be done sometime tonight.

Also, if you're my opponent and didn't get the other messages they are on AIM and ESPN PM, just to let you know.

[TJordan522]

Well, thatstoobad just finished me off. I'm so disappointed-I had the lead over and over again but he just kept tying it up. He won 30 seconds into OT...

Great series.

Oh, and good luck to whoever plays thatstoobad in the remainder of the tournament. You're really gonna need it.

[repetske]

I fear no one. All kneel before Zod!

[TJordan522]

This is a really nice tournament Meth. I really like the prize and all the images you have created so far. We should do a Spring Break one too.

[METH]

Yea i like the idea of a spring break edition of the tournament. I've had a great time hosting the tournament so far.

Sure the idea of another tournament is great but i'd also like to organize a winter-spring hockey season too with 8-10 teams max. Don't worry thatstoobad i won't be leaving the CAGHL:Turbo.

On another note:

CheapyD and Radjago: You have to play your games before friday Dec. 31st.

and then we'll move to round 2 (semifinals) of the tourney. More info to come and yes... more graphics/images! ;)

I think having another hockey season would be awesome. The current season is great, but I only get to play once a week (and I'm the Coyotes). Having a second season going only for the hardcore hockey fans/players would give me more games to play. I definately think we should do that as well as the Spring Break tournament. I'm in as the Devils for both.

[METH]

Round 2 is up,

Semifinals will take place over the new year's weekend, but you can start playing your games as soon as you want. The final should be played early next week. Good luck to all the players who got through round 1.

Thanks to CheapyD, elDirty and TJordan for being a part of this tournament.

[radjago]

I'd like to thank Cheapy for a great series. We both had our moments of triumph and slop.

Also Meth is doing a great job keeping on top of this tourney.

[Ultimate Matt X]

Yeah, I'd also like to say good games to my opponents and to Meth the site is pretty neat. I like seeing the Blue Jacket logo up on the main page. :)

[CheapyD]

Yup...good stuff.
Can't wait for the tourney #2.

[METH]

Quick tourney update:

Ultimate Matt X (and his BlueJackets) won against Radjago (Red Wings) and got himself a ticket to the finals. He will then face the winner between repetske and thatstoobad.

Thanks everyone for your comments about the tourney, it's not over yet but i'd like to thank you all for being playing your games, posting on the board and for being respectful with other players.

Tourney #2 or hardcore fans league could shape up in the next few weeks...

[TJordan522]

METH--are you still going to make a Winter-Spring season?

[METH]

METH--are you still going to make a Winter-Spring season?

yea that might happen, 6 to 8 teams... wanna be my wingman? ;)

Sure...let me know what you need.

[repetske]

For all my trashtalking, I fell to thatstoobad in double OT of game 3 in our series. I wouldn't feel so bad about it, but it was on a between the legs shot. I guess that's why you put the puck on net. You never know what will happen. Again, nice series thatstoobad. Thanks for throwing this awesome tourney Meth. I can't wait to see who wins.

[repetske]

Damn Meth. You even got a picture of Columbus vs. Detroit on the site. You rule. It's one thing to have a picture of the winning team, but the actual matchup is awesome.

[thatstoobad]

after the first game of the series, i thought i may be on the way to winning the series in 2 games. well, that didn't happen. at all. i was extremely lucky to end up with the win.

hopefully we can get the championship series played on new years day.

[METH]

Great series guys, one more round and we will crown the first champion ever of the 'METH Invitational Hockey Tournament'.

FINALS:

thatstoobad (Ottawa Senators) VS Ultimate Matt X (Columbus BlueJackets)

Best of luck to both of you guys.

Awesome tourney guys, thanks for all the support.

[METH]

The schedule was advanced and the final series can now be played.

Last tourney's site update: http://leagues.espnvideogames.com/t/league.php?l=67595

[thatstoobad]

we finished our series this evening.

i guess i'm the meth tournament champion.

the sens would not accept anything but victory. daniel alfredsson, after remaining somewhat quiet through the first two rounds, finally stepped up and led the team to the championship.

[TJordan522]

PS: ...more to come...

[-o< New tournament? Season? [-o<

New rule though for the next one (if there is one): You may only be matched up against thatstoobad in the first round one time. :wink:
It would be cruel to match me up with him again lol.
