Yeah, I'm in, as long as we can get our games in earlier in the evening sometime before 10pm EST. I'll take Colorado in this one as well.

I'm in. I'll take Tampa Bay, just like the last Tourney, since I assume Philly will be reserved for Cheapy.

OT, since I forgot to reply to repetske...I didn't actually attend SW Celebration, but I live a few minutes away downtown. Driving through and I was surprised to see Stormtroopers and Darth Vaders parading down the street. I think it's an annual thing, so I'll see if I can make it next year just to see what it's all about.

If you're a bigger hockey fan than I am (likely) and all other spots are taken, you can have mine.

Never too late dude :P
We can always count on a ninth player.

Mind making it an even ten? The first 8 slots filled up so fast, I didn't think I could make it in.
Detroit is preferred.

Looks like we have a few more interested. Meth, if you want to keep the tournament size down, I don't mind giving up my spot. I'm not a huge hockey fan so those who are that want to get in on this should get it.

I'll take Calgary if available.

04-27-2005, 07:14 PM
i'll take ottawa.
Alright guys, i think we will have to stick with 8 players, thats unless you guys don't mind having a first round full of byes, if the majority doesn't, i will then accept a maximum of 10 teams.

METH, if you decide to go with 8 (which I think is optimal so the brackets are right), BigDirty can have my spot since he was the first to post asking if he could get in.

Thanks Steve, I think we will have to go with the 8-Team Tournament, sorry for the people who signed up after the first 8 *original* players we're announced, i will update the first post with the official teams taking part in the tournament. Sorry.

Don't worry. I don't think it will take that long to lose in the first round. (Note to self: Be sure not to play cheapyd in the tournament.)
And Meth, I don't get mad to hear people are going to E3. I'm just jealous that you guys get to go there for your jobs, while I spend months at a time in nursing homes.

maybe i'm just completely inobservant and missed it, but what is the difficulty level for the tournament, pro or allstar?

I didn't see it posted, but when I asked him the other day, he said it would be All-Star. We might actually have to work for our goals now.
Hey thatstoobad, my Lightning have been practicing all winter long and are ready to get revenge on your Senators in whatever round we face each other. How's that for being cocky.

All-Star it is...

dont be scurred fellas, especially with it being on all star things are going to be a little better to play, as you will see.
cheapy my advice to you is to PASS a lot. cycle the puck, make him dizzy and maybe he will fall down. make him come out and defend, dont let him float.
and my main man meth- when can you play these games? i can do a few on the later tip tonight, but not too late, and i can do them tomorrow but late, late, like midnight or so, maybe earlier. im free all day thursday and friday is fine after 4.

I'll be online tonite from 5:30pm till 8:30pm ET. Message me on AIM (xMETHxLive) if you are ready to play.
I might be online late tomorrow night around 11:30ishpm till midnight.
Thursday works for me from 6pm to 8:30pm. Hopefully we'll get to play all the round 1 games in one night.

I'm ready for my next victim!

he scores 18 goals in 2 games and you guys are worried about playing me? yeah right. you may want to focus your attention towards this guy, since there's no way i'm going to be able to pull anything like that.

Haha, trying to divert some attention? You are clearly the number one threat. I can't beat you no matter how hard I try. I always lose in triple OT or something when I play you...
For now, the target's on your back. You are the proven champ...
And I wouldn't be surprised if you scored more than 18 in 2 games lol.

To you maybe. Nah. It was a good series. I felt totally overmatched. You better win the whole thing now, so I can at least say I lost to the eventual winner.

Lol I won't....trust me, I didn't do that on purpose. I would've really enjoyed fighting back from being down two goals. We got a message that said network conditions were too poor to continue...that's not me shutting off my Xbox. I just couldn't get back on after that. And that's the first time I've ever not finished a game that I started.

Calgary vs New Jersey games need to be reset. I was up 1-0 on we lost our connection. As we started our second game the connection was lost yet again.
TJordan522
05-09-2005, 08:07 PM
Here's an update on the New Jersey Calgary series. We went to play our games today at 6, but I lost my connection briefly and the first game ended prematurely. We tried again, but that time I lost my connection for good and ESPN automatically gave the Tournament win to ShadowCat, 2 games to none. I reset my moden and got my connection back, so we decided to play exhibition games to decide the tourney (since we didn't want to wait for METH to reset the games). We just got done our first game, and ShadowCat won 1-0 in OT. It was a really great game. I have hockey practice now, but we plan to play the second game tonight at around 10, and then hopefully for me we can schedule a third game.
Alright guys, I'll update the score later tonite or ealy tomorrow morning. The winner will be facing thatstoobad.

meth: we are going to hopefully play our series wednesday night. the only thing is that i think you still need to advance the schedule before we can play, since it doesn't show the final series on the league site nor over xbox live.
