Good game with sendme last night, and Flyersfan contacted me, so we're playing today. Still haven't heard anything from Minnesota. I wanted to get at least 1 game in with Shady (Ducks) of our 3 scheduled, but he didn't respond to my message even though he was on.

Minnesota still doesn't have vs. CPU enabled.

Yeah, if I don't hear anything from Minnesota before this evening, I'll be temporarily booting him from the league so people can play the CPU. As I said, I was supposed to play him on Monday, but he messaged me to cancel, saying that his availability was "up in the air", but that he should be able to play Wednesday. He was supposed to get back to me, but hasn't. Whoever else needs to play him, I hope you can play tonight. I should have him booted no later than 7 PM EST.

what are we to do if we haven't heard from our opponents yet? are we allowed to play the cpu if it's the last night for games?

I should be on tonight, have been off the XBOX for a bit as I been busy all week, long days and no desire to do much afterwards. Look for me after 9 if you need San Jose

Wondering this too.

Yeah, if you've tried to contact them and they just haven't responded to you, they don't have much room to complain. On the day of the deadline, playing the CPU is fair game in that instance.

Thirded.

But I read it that he won't even have internet back until tomorrow, so I think that pretty much answers it.

Getting on now to boot Minnesota and to play chriscolbert.

Really disappointed that Canbanana never got back to me. I was looking forward to that game.

I have you and Vulcan left to play, didn't hear back from him yet via PM, but I'll jump on at 11 to play you and then hopefully him.

Indo, didnt realize we had a game until now...can you play tonight?

Flyersfan had to cancel, but I actually won a game vs. the CPU! Now I just need one more win to move into the double digits...

Sounds good.

Just had an awesome game with Nate. Got some lucky bounces and barely held on for a 2-1 win!

Did anybody get hurt?


I think I pmed everyone but if I missed you, go ahead and play my CPU.

Yeah, it was a good game.

I felt really sluggish early on, and that ended up putting me in an early hole when a centering pass hit off my d-man's skate, went right to a Chicago player for a wide open net since Rinne was covering where the pass would have gone. The Blackhawks grabbed a 2-0 lead on a cross crease to Patrick Kane that I thought my d-man could intercept...he just didn't make the play. I was outshot 12-8 through the first two periods though.

In the 3rd, I tried to pour it on, and scored one goal early. A furious effort from Nashville in the final minute saw numerous shots, and a wide open net off a rebound that Sergei Kostitsyn shot wide. I ended up outshooting Chicago 11-3 in the final period, but it was too little, too late. Hard to win games when those types of things go against you. I'm just glad I was able to make a game out of it, as I really thought the flood gates would open up after that second goal.

One thing I just want to ask in here, and it's kind of an online etiquette kind of thing. But if you're the away team, you should be using your white jersey. I don't like playing with two dark jerseys because with so much action going on, sometimes it's easy to look at the wrong guy or think the wrong thing. I mean, after all, the away jerseys are white for a reason. chriscolbert switched to his home jersey, so I ended up going white...which just felt a little lame since I was the home team. It's not a huge deal, obviously, and it's nothing to cause drama over. Just, like I said, an online etiquette thing.

EDIT - Chris explained why he did it, and I guess the Preds standard gold jersey looked light on his TV. Considering how some jerseys look different in the matchup screen than they do in the game, I'm inclined to just blame EA here, lol. I've always thought the gold jerseys were pretty dark though...darker than Lakers gold for sure. Anyway, weird situation, but at least it didn't affect the game.

At least it doesn't blow goats.

Ha Ha. Needed that. Thanks Nate.

Dear EA,

I will literally buy DLC that will stop my players from getting injured. Just tell me how many zeros need to be on the check, mmkay?

<3,

Ninjas and I just had a "notsureifsrs" moment.


He put the puck on net and it hit Marty in the pads, literally right where his ankle bends. Puck should have reflected outwards but it defied physics altogether and went in between his legs. Seriously not amused with that.

Hahaha, yeah, I had a scary moment with Shea Weber playing freaking CPU Dallas. Once again, some little wimpy ass forward just chucks Weber across the ice like he's nothing. Looking at the replay, I didn't even see contact. If anything, it looked like he swung his stick toward him and Weber just went flying. I wish I would have saved the replay, but I lost 1-0, and I just exited out and turned my system off I was so pissed.

Yeah, I've been saying that EA never meant it to be "real world physics", and that what they really meant was "real world psychics"...in the sense that his player must have just known exactly where to put the puck for Brodeur to just inexplicably not be able to handle it. EA isn't too good with those fancy college words.
