Damn, we're down to 95 in Elite now. Looks like we will need to keep winning if we want that top 100 Elite trophy.

Also, first reviews for NHL 12 are looking good. Here's one from Gametrailers.com. They gave it a 9.2 out of 10.

Video confirms that you can create female players. Just don't know how that's going to work. They'll be fast, but they'll get destroyed down low. I just have a feeling that all of the asshole dangle masters we ran into this year will be female players too. We might as well rename our team the "Wifebeaters" right now, lol.

Wow, I LOVE the improvements to Ultimate Team (24/7 mode). Other people can play against your team when you're not on and you can earn pucks from it. Not sure how that will affect contracts (I can't imagine it using games when you're not actually playing), but it's an interesting idea.

Ehh...looks like the goalie is a little weak on wrap arounds (though he handled one on one chances pretty well). And there's a goal at the very end where the d man is in good position and is even bodying his man, but he still can't stop the cross crease pass or shot. I guess it's never going to be perfect, but it we play defense like we have been this month, we can definitely beat most teams.
