Yeah, i've seen them. I should be able to play them. If not then maybe one of them.

I may be on randomly tonight (have to be sneaky, boss is in a mood) but tomorrow night after I record for sure. Also the weekend nights are always the best.

Games vs Oilers
WSH - DestroVega
PIT - DarkTower
CHI - chriscolbert
FLA - Mr_Hockey
DAL - mnwild22

I'll be on around 3:30 Pacific/6:30 Eastern for those who need to play the Kings. Sending out PM's to my opponents now.

Im tempted to just put on Auto Pilot and just make trades, edit lines and roster moves.

That's what I'm thinking about doing. The game just runs to slow on my end or lags. I was thinking about dropping out of the league last week because of it.

NJ-2
Mon - 1



I need to learn how to play defense like AttackingMVP does. Lol. I left his defenders in the open ice a few times, but most of the time, it was me just getting painted into the half boards.

Damn good game. Hedburg wad a beast in net 34 decent shots and very few rebounds. The few opportunities I got were either shot wide or hit someone.

Nice win Redshadow, good to hear Hedberg showed up. I figured it might be a rough ride until Brodeur returned after our game.

Anybody else hate playing the CPU? I've played 3 times so far (all losses) and they always hurt someone on my team, and they always score from the most ridiculous angles. It's pretty frustrating when I'm pretty good against actual people, but terrible against the CPU. I'm tempted to just take my chances simming those games and hope for the best...

That's what I do. I usually do it due to lack of time or because I'm doing something else while it sims. This last time I tried it and pressed B to get it to 8x, but at 2x it forced me to play the game. It was 4-3 I think. I managed to tie it and then nothing went in after that. We went to OT and then the game went slow and soon after they scored a goal from nowhere. All I saw was the net was crowded and Halak had the puck covered then goal.

I don't know about anyone else but this game feel a lot different than the demo.

yeah a lot of the CPU goals are ridiculous. I dont mind losing a game to better shots or as punishment for my own mistakes in-game (like my D going for the check and missing leaving open space in front of the net), but I do have an issue losing to fluke goals from the CPU that Thomas would never let in, while the CPU goalies turn into Olympic superheroes blocking every great shot I get.

Every time I play the CPU they score at least 1 goal from along the goal line (ie. Patrick Kane's cup-winning goal). Those kind of shots should go in about 1-5% of the time, not every game.

Hey flyers fan, I never seen you online last night.

Anywho, I played Calgary flames and Toronto maple leafs last night (both CPU). I easily dominated Calgary in every department but scoring. Ended up going into shoot out. Tied in the 3rd shoot out round then after that, it went scoreless until the 10 or 11th round. I believe it was Spacek who scored the final goal (out of all people). Boy that was an annoying game.

The Toronto game, I went on a scoring route. Ending up with 6-0. They were way more aggressive than Calgary was and had way more scoring chances.

Had a great game against the Kings last night. Despite being outshot by a pretty decent margin, Matt held a 1-0 lead over me headed into the 3rd. However, right off the opening faceoff, I was able to get a 2 on 1 chance and finally get one past Quick. The game remained tied for awhile until a rebound in front of Quick led to the go-ahead goal. Rinne made some great saves to hold the Kings to 1 goal...though the goal he gave up was on a backhander that he got a piece of but still went in. Nashville ended up outshooting LA 21-14, with almost a 3 minute advantage in ToA.

Also, I did this to Matt with :03 left in the game to preserve the win. Weber had fired off a slapshot which kicked into the corner. Knowing how much time was left, I decided to just follow the shot and see how big of a hit I could get. As always...NO PENALTY.

Just played a game against the CPU Islanders...and lost Jonathon Blum for 37 games to a broken leg. Right off the faceoff, one of their guys charged at him and just threw him to the ice like he was nothing. Bam...play stops. Injured. Good work, EA. I also had Shea Weber get thrown down with no resistance on a similar play. Thank God he didn't get hurt though.

I've got St. Louis (2 games) and Montreal left to play for this round of games. I see St. Louis has OK'd the CPU to play for him. But I wanted to at least ask sendme if he would like to play before just jumping into those games. I should have some time between 6 PM EST and 9 PM EST tonight if either of you guys can play. Just let me know.

Anybody that need to play the Canucks i will try my best to be on after 10:00 tonight EST. Also if anybody is home during the day i can play tomorrow from like 10:00 am EST to like 1:30pm EST.
